Tag Carrera on Toshi Strap (Pics)
Discussion
This is my first attempt at watch photography, I haven't got an SLR so these were taken on my 'point-and-shoot' Panasonic DMC-TZ10, albeit on the macro setting with a little tweaking in iPhoto afterwards.
The watch was a wedding present from my wife last year, and although I love the watch, I felt the strap let it down a little bit. I wasn't 100% keen on the OE deployant leather strap and the way it tapered from 20mm at the lugs to 18mm at the buckle. To me, being quite a chunky watch I felt to keep up this look it needed a more 'masculine' strap, and I always felt the OE leather was lacking a little presence to back up the 38mm case.
This isn't the first time I've has a custom strap from Rich (Toshi) and it certainly won't be the last, I love the robustness of his creations and they simply get more comfortable with age. This is a 20mm matt black with white stitching, open stitched ends, and made quite long as I have bigger wrists. It fits perfectly and makes the watch what it should have been IMO. I'm in love with it, and for obvious reasons I'll never sell it.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the pics!

Nice - one of my favourite watches and strap maker. The non buckle piece of the strap is on back to front though, you've got the end knot on the stitching facing out so it should be neater on the other side...
Take care and enjoy the watch and strap...
