Reply With QuoteLots of purists do pooh pooh divers on leather or black faces on brown straps ....
...I'm not one of them though and I think that this is a lovely combo which works very well :thumbright:
I got another Toshi strap from Rich (chocolate leather with olive drab stitching), it arrived this morning and has gone straight onto my PRS-14, I don't want to irk the purists but I think it shows that divers can work well on leather (apologies for the misaligned bezel and dust, I didn't spot them until I had put the photos on my computer).

I think that looks good too. A thick strap for a thick watch. (I currently have my PRS-14 on a NATO but occasionally think about putting it back on leather.)
I think that looks great!
That, looks beautiful! I have just received my PRS14 and tried all the straps I have available just to realize: brown suits the watch best.
+1. I like leather on divers.Originally Posted by Rich11
Would you say your pics represent the actual colour of the strap well? - I was considering a chocolate myself, but it looks a lot darker on the Toshi web-site :?
Cheers
Inspired by your pic I just mounted the only brown I have got, a shell cordovan:
I woud say the strap is a little darker than my pictures above but it is a little lighter than the pictures on Toshi's website (however that may vary depending on how well your computer monitor is set up, I am viewing both sites on an imac which has been left as it came out of the box several years ago).
Oooh, shell cordovan - I likey. But couldn't afford one so went for the cocoa which is also very nice :)

Really like that combo. It looks kind of vintage, the matt dial really helps.
I have got a PRS-14 incoming, hadn't thought about brown leather, but looks pretty good and will give it a go.
New pic, retro style:
great combo toshi and PRS14, the shell cordovan looks lovely too.
the PRS14 looks good on just about any type of strap, probably not a bund though
I must admit - the combination is growing on me too.
My Seiko on a brown strap i made this afternoon ( it has been raining all day ).
