When buying straps do you tell them "it's for a rep"?

I don't care which watch I make a strap for, Gen or Rep, it doesn't matter
I am sometimes given weird measurements, so I ask which watch it is, just to make sure I'm making a correct strap

...and I have several of yours, and they are absolute knockout quality straps!

micah of vintager straps: unimagintive, boring and dull workmanship at extravagant prices. he is also one of the most bitter, hateful, and negative people i've ever had the displeasure of meeting. debbie downer in the flesh. plenty of better strap makers out there who don't inject their personal beliefs or politics into everything, and at better price points.

Its funny you mention this as I've noticed the bitterness from him as of late as well. I got into PAMs (gen) close to 20yrs ago and remember him being much different in those days when everyone wanted a Panerai.
Did you meet him in person or were these online interactions?
