Re: Hamilton Pan Europ On Its New Toshi Strap

Looks really good, Toshi does make some great straps.

Interesting to see you have a couple of Animals in the collection, I also have a W001 which still sees a bit of use after over twenty years.

Photography Section

I know a lot of forums now have a photography section where people can not only share photos they have taken but also discuss photo techniques.

Re: First CW purchase - C11 MSL

Yes another vouch for the straps, very good quality. I exchange mine for one with deployment clasp but the straps are basically the same and suitably robust.
