My goodness Thehitman... The strap in your opening post and the grey one with blue accents are truly gorgeous ! I mean... The first one is just so unique , a true eye catcher.
I've checked Jakob his website straight away and contacted him immediately. Looking to buy one of his pieces of art for my pam389.

Great post !

Mention me!!! :) but I'm sure he knows as he works mostly with gens. I like different!! Not the same old vintage brown leather. I want it to look like wow I have never seen that before!!!

They all look real good! Can you post some pics showing closeup detail of the grey/green one? I did indeed say I was referred by you :) can't wait to get my strap back - black suede on top, dark grey leather underneath, dark grey stitching. Will look great!!

Looks really good. Jakub has sent me some more examples of his previous work for leather example/samples.

Hi,

Black with blue stitch, what kind of leather is it ?
First i thought it was stingray, but maybe its polished suede? Very unique.

It's suede I believe. :) I asked for a black asso that's what I got!

Not US he is from Poland here is his instagram in English below with email.

https://instagram.com/jfs.leather/

I found his facebook but its in Polish with pictures of gens he worked on.

https://m.facebook.com/JakubFilipSzymaniak

He is young talented guy must be connected to some high end shop working with gen 18k gold APRO and other white gold gens like Chopard.

I think Hitman's asso strap is actually a goat skin, look at facebook pictures of that pouch he made for this expensive Vetru phone he described it its a goat skin on outside.
I knew it was different..

Sorry for that Polish link here on english forum, but i thought it would be interesting to see more pictures.

I talk to him on fb voice. He worked for a boutique selling gen everything in Poland!! He works on gens only... Some $100k watches so his work is top notch! He told me that he quite the boutique and does leather full time. He has many gen clients and thought my watches were gen.. I told him they are reps and he wasn't all that happy about it but money is money...? Haha he's really nice and really talented. He recently went to Italy to get leather and has some crazy exotic stuff. He's working on a black and neon green strap for me just like the grey one. His prices are good. It's not a bad job drink vodka and make leather goods.. Haha one of his clients dropped of 2 $100k watches and said make bands for these.. Lol so you can trust him with our reps... I think he is a member of some gen forums also.

Hey Dustin, question for you where did you source the deployment buckle from? I just got in contact with him and he is going to make me a strap! I mentioned your name.

I have just transferred money to his Paypal after discussing how I want my strap. I've chosen a dark grey one he's going to make for me. Three week waiting time is not bad. Thanks for the introduction to this guy !

I checked his facebook page out of curiosity and he posts newly completed straps there, although usually pictured watches are clients dropped off.
