Anyone had any personal experience with Toshi straps?

I've got one, strap is good, customer service is excellent.

+1, buy with confidence

Me too. Awesome strap and service. He's very, very serious about meeting his self imposed deadlines as well. My only complaint is the watch I got the strap for is currently broken! The strap was tougher than the Lum-Tec!

Just ordered a couple of straps from here:

Natty CXL watch strap for $40???

[michaeljcr]

I thought it was worth a look. Bought two in 'Natural', one 18mm (stainless steel stud) for a smaller aviator watch, and one 22mm with a black stud for a Seiko 007 my GF just gave me as a present. I'd like the more expensive cordovan, but they were out of the colours I wanted and, to be honest, I got two of these for the same price and they look pretty good!

Vostok Amphibia is a great watch for the price.  I dig those old Russian movements, too.  Rough looking as hell, but tough.

Nothing huge, but it's first watch I got myself with my first paycheck. This is a good feeling…

Congrats mate!.. 

[michaeljcr]

Awesome mate, I'm wearing the 007 variety myself at the moment on (yes I'm sad) a NATO James Bond Strap. I like the GMT bezel on yours though, very cool.

Bought a Vostok off eBay after i saw that. Lucifer, I'm blaming you for this one…

Thanks Seul and michaeljcr!

I'm already looking at the one with the black bezel (007J)! Perhaps would get it in the next few months.

Here's a (poor) snap of mine:

That NATO matches the bezel really well!

[michaeljcr]

Cheers! I went for the black/grey option, but you can get one with the more 'authentic' Bond tiny red stripe as well, which would look good on yours.

Check out these guys on eBay:

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/aliasmarlow?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 - this guy makes some great 'screen accurate' Bond straps.

I've been on a thin watch/dress watch streak lately so this Zenith handwinder at 7mm thick is perfect. 

[michaeljcr]

Damn, that's a nice watch!
