Just received my green canvas and black distressed leather straps today and I'm very impressed and happy with the quality. The straps are sturdy with raw edges and gpf style buckles which I love.

I've mounted the black on my 422 and the canvas on my 571 and they have completely transformed the watches. In particular I've been searching for the perfect strap for my 422 and now I think I've found it.

Thanks for the confirmation. The strap really brings out the dial of the watch. This will most likely to be my next Bosphorus strap. I like his Desert#2 strap as well.

I've been rolling it over in my mind, as to just what I want to put on the 571. That Green Canvas looks darned good on there!

I need a much lighter color, or brighter strap for a 360. Been looking at Mustard, or a more Red strap.

Dito.

I've had the pleasure to deal personally with the Bosphorus crew in their workshop in Istanbul. We were really hospitable and supportive in giving me advice which straps to pick and showed me some of their work.

The quality speaks for itself.

He is no longer on Etsy? Since yesterday it says the user is no longer available.

Iust spoke to him today and all is fine. He is just in the midst of revamping his page. No worries guys as I placed an order earlier in the week.

Yes thats the strap!

I've since added 3 more straps from Bosphorus to my collection. Vintage Caramela, Vachetta, and Vintage grey

Can we see some pics of these? Especially the grey. His pics seem to differ from what they look like in other people's pics so it can be hard to judge the colour.

I got two of his straps. They pretty much are the same color as the ones on his page, probably just a bit darker now that they've aged a bit.

Ive wanted the vintage grey which looks great in his pics but another pic I've seen showed it with quite a bit of brown in it.
