I Got Toshi'ed Today...
- Toshi Avocado on Milgauss GV (applied touch of mink oil to get slightly darker shade of green)
- Toshi Almond on EXPII42 (nb: need to get 22mm to fit 21mm) [thanks to ESM and others for pointing me to Toshi straps] Of course I love the bracelets, but I think I'll keep on these straps for awhile |

Straps look great, I don't know why I don't like wearing them myself
Maybe it's the 115 degree summer days and sweat |

looks great - awesome choice on the leather and stitching colours.
as you know, im a big fan of Toshi straps - i had 20mm on the 216570, but the 22mm also works. is that a polished buckle on the 116400GV strap? |

Myself believe Rolex watches look better on the oyster bracelets they were designed for. They are well made straps but IMHO not suited to the Rolex 40mm case size

They look good, but I think the GV looks best.

I agree that those models look better on Oyster bracelets but I kind of like the look of a strap on them, I find it nice to see a different look every once in a while.

GV looks ok but not too keen on the Explorer strap.
I would prefer to put a 21 on a 20 that remove it.

Very nice. I think the strap on the Ex might look nicer on the Milg.

Looking good, well done. The green strap on the Milgauss is especially successful

As a bracelet kind of guy, I must confess - that pair on straps looks awesome!

Toshi is the man! Love his straps. The EXPII looks fab on that tan leather.
