Here is a shot review after my second order from Jacob has arrived.
Jacob was very responsive and professional all the way, and he clearly makes some relevant recommendations along the way after you have placed your oder for a custom made strap.
My first order was this and I was very happy with it so why not go with Jacob again?
This time I told him I wanted something different for my IWC 3714 RG, something close to the below Santoni strap, which retails for over 650 euros
I insisted that I wanted thick linear shades of black on top of the brown skin, which my 1st strap from Jacob did not have, like in this pic:
Jacob quickly agreed and showed me some skins to see what kind of tone I would opt for:
Before the stitching step, Jacob contacted me again to recommend an alternative to what I had chosen, i.e. brown stitching over brown skin, see below:
He suggested this contrast, which I accepted immediatly. Jacob's pic with the thread color next to the strap before stitching was very helpful:
Here is the result after stitching:
Express shipping and a couple of days later, strap is in my hands:
I will post pics with the strap mounted on my IWC ASAP
I highly recommend dealing with Jacob
Wait is 6-8 weeks and it's pricey -210€ for the strap- but it will make your rep look more gen for sure.
