Hey Guys,

I recently picked up an IWC 3714 from Ken @ Chazingtime. As always everything was perfect. I felt with the SS case and the white dial with gold numbers, a Santoni like strap would be the perfect choice as the two tone hand painted finish of the strap would just pop.

I reached out to Jacob and had him make me a custom strap for this watch. Sent him a picture of a Santoni strap that I liked. While there is a wait time, and at times communication is slow, the result is just phenomenal. This guys straps are top notch.

So I posted a few quick shots on the forum which prompted a member to ask Jacob to make the same strap. In turn Jacob asked me to take a few more photos. Well, that inspired me to take out the SLR this morning for a few quick shots. Not my best work and didnt have much time for prep, but my main goal was to capture how amazing this strap is. Without further a due:

Each one of these is custom, and you can work out the price with Jacob. Mine was about 200€

Congratulations, it's absolutely stunning.

Never owned a Jacob strap but I've only heard good things and they certainly look good.

Enjoy your new piece.

It looks stunning. will get the same from him some time. but first my pilots need new straps and you said, you prefer orloff over jacob for pilots in another thread. so i'll stick with orloff but its only croc designs straps there which deviates from the gen strap but anyway.

Just received mine and I couldn't agree more.

I have always been impressed with IWC OEM straps but this impressed me further.

Beautiful strap! May I ask what was the turnaround time for your order? I just sent an email but it looks like he's on holiday.

Just wanted to say thanks for these amazing pictures. I have now ordered the same strap purely because of your photos. Just got to survive the 6-8 week (agonising) wait now ;-)
