"Rich, I just received my Papaya leather with grey stitching for my Breitling B01 and am extremely pleased. Thanks for taking such pride in your craft because it reflects in the end result which is a custom piece for my investment. I will highly recommend you to anyone I know and look forward to doing business with you again."
John, Illinois, USA
"The vintage leather strap makes my Kemmner Marine Officers watch look 10 times classier than it already did! It is the most comfortable strap I possess, by a long way.This has been my first purchase from Rich but I'm sure it won't be my last!"
Stephen, Surrey, UK
"I have just received my first strap from Rich, the quality of his workmanship is simply wonderful. From the very first point of contact the service you receive is first class and his knowledge and watch collection is very impressive to boot! I've had the strap a few weeks now and it looks and feels far more superior than the original supplied with my Panerai from new. I will be ordering again soon, but my advice to anyone considering a new strap don't hesitate and buy from Rich now you wont be disappointed."
Gregg, County Durham, UK
"Well, that's the 10th strap from Rich just arrived. I thought I'd commemorate this milestone by saying that Rich's straps just get better and better. This latest one is just beautiful. Cheers Rich - here's to the next 10!"
David, Sheffield, UK
"I have just received my second strap from Rich and, again, the quality of his workmanship is simply brilliant. When you consider most high-end watch manufacturers charge up to five times what Rich charges for his superior product it's no surprise he does so well. All I can say is that as far as I know there is no-one out there offering anything like this level of service and quality product. Why go elsewhere?"
Paul, Essex, UK

It's totally amazing my friend!!! It's times above anything I can imagine!!! It's on my watch now and I still can't believe when I look at it. I have no words to thank you: I have birthday yesterday and it's the best present I can dream of!!!"

Guy, Queensland, Australia
"slightly cheaper than the serie limitada I got a month ago but like comparing a charging rhinocerous with a slightly asthmatic goat. Everything about the toshi strap is better, bigger, stronger and so much sexier.

It is a 24mm parallel black leather with blue stitching and really suits my Glycine. Amazingly soft and comfortable for such a robust strap. And it even smells like leather, which is more than most do! Rich is a pleasure to deal with, too."

Still waiting for my Watchco SHOM to arrive, hopefully this week . . . can't wait to get that bad boy fitted with my new Toshi. Thanks again Rich, great service and a great product."
Willie, Terneuzen, Netherlands
"I've never owned a parallel 22mm strap, and was worried about how it would wear. Strangely, despite its size, it is the most comfortable leather strap I own! I'm currently wearing it on a 24h Orient GMT, so the shade sets off nicely against the orange GMT hand - will send pictures once I've sorted out the lighting. This is my first, but definitely not last, Toshi strap - thanks again!"
Lars, Manilla, Philippines
"Over the last few years of wearing Panerai, I’ve tried many different straps, and I can honestly say that the Toshi ones feel the most substantial and the best made of all of them – and at an amazing price. Best of all, Rich is able to make up straps to the exact dimensions I require, so each strap fits perfectly, and he offers amazing customer service always ensuring my order is perfect. I can’t recommend them highly enough – the perfect upgrade for any watch!"
Simon, London, UK
"The strap I received was of the highest quality workmanship for a fraction of the price one should expect. Rich (Toshi) is fantastic to deal with too & both he and his straps come highly recommended"

Nigel, Pontefract, UK
"Can't get enough of toshi straps myself, fantastically well built, nice and thick, and soften up nicely with a bit of wear."
