A few weeks ago, I got in touch with Jacob in order to have a Santoni style strap made for my IWC Portuguese 3717

Communication is very clear and fast with Jacob. Not only does he reply to you in a timely manner and very good English, but he also asks you to fill a form where you can provide much details on how you want to customize your strap. He also makes recommendations on what would be best.

Payment is very smooth as well through Paypal.

Once he has made your strap, usually 6-8 weeks after you place your order, he will send you a pic to confirm and will ship right afterwards.

Here is the result:

My impression was just a huge ''WOW !!''

I have tried a lot of staps from various makers and in the top of my list there are only Camille Fournet and gen IWC OEM straps that really make my watches look a lot better. This Jacob straps goes into that top 3 hands down

Looks amazing, only heard good things about Jacob Straps.

Half the price of Gen Santoni and definitely not half the quality.

Enjoy.

I hope so, the guy deserves good business.

As far as I am concerned, I 'll send him a second order pretty soon ;)
