Bosphorus Straps: A case for my PAMs

I just wanted to share a new purchase from Adem at Bosphorus Straps in Istanbul, Turkey. I recently purchased several straps from Bosphorus and decided to add this leather travel case. Construction is excellent and as you can see, it is designed with larger watches like Panerai in mind. It holds four strapped watches and four additional straps/buckles. There is also a small slot for a screwdriver that perfectly holds a Bergeon screwdriver while keeping the sharp tip covered. My only gripe, though minor, is the placement of the zippers so close to the outer slots where the watches are held. I would have preferred the leather flaps added to the outer slots for added protection. However this is a very minor gripe. I'll likely place small polishing cloths over the outer watches to prevent any scratching with heavy movement. On to the pics.

Looks like a good buy, and you've got a great collection in there.

What's the strap on the 127?

Very nice and luxurious. Looks designed to hold up to 8 watches. Is that a flap separating the 2 sides of the case to keep watches on one side from rubbing against watches on the other side?

Thanks. It's a Simona Alchemist.

Oh wow, great choice. I've been lusting for straps for a while, both Bosphorus and Simona. This only makes my cravings worse! The Alchemist is a favorite, one of the most beautiful straps I've seen [emoji106]

I have it folded in the pic but it's purpose is to divide the two sides for protection. However, only one side is designed for watches and has dividers.

Both make great straps. Adems straps are better bang for the buck and he will customize them for you. He made me the blue one above in 27/22mm for my PAM 449. Of the above straps, five are Bosphorus and the others Simona and Gunny.

Beautiful case. I bought one of his straps a while back, think it was called a torpedo. Was thrilled with the quality. I don't remember seeing cases but I am definitely going to take a second look. Thanks for posting this.

Very cool case! Adem / Bosphorus has a good hand for Pam straps and correct vintage scale. I dont know exactly, but there are 10 or 12 Bosphorus straps in my box. Price/quality is very good and quick delivery.
