Nice strap. I just acquired 3 Toshi's myself. Not only was I impressed with the quality of the work, but also the personal response. Rich was very quick and responsive, shipped everything to me for free to Japan to boot. I highly recommend his work. I got black, blue and Papaya straps for my PAM0328 and they are awesome. This is my first PAM and I love how easy it is to change the straps to create a completely new watch. The bracelet will stay on once the hot sweaty months come out so I can avoid the leather getting foul, but it seems that Toshi's leather is a little more waterproofed on the inside so may not have the same fate as my other OEM croc straps have.
