New Shoes for a couple of Pams..

Recommended Posts

Jonnybaws

Placed an order with Jacob last year.. due to lockdown and working restrictions they were delayed a bit..
But.. the wait was worthwhile!
I can finally wear the 127 and 243 now, the strap on the 243 was a decent White Rubber Rep but not for me and the Rep Strap on the 127 wasn't very good at all!

127 Before:

127 After: Master Patina Vintage Cureo

ZB11J8.jpg ZB1ydR.jpg ZB1YOL.jpg ZB1OjQ.jpg

243 Before:

ZB1LdY.jpg ZB1AIs.jpg

243 After: Master 74 Verde

ZB1UWk.jpg ZB1afJ.jpg ZB1Wlo.jpg ZB1eJD.jpg ZB1m2P.jpg

The suppleness of the straps, the fit, the finish, the attention to detail is all top quality, in the past I've had more expensive straps that weren't as good..

That green and 243 combo looks really cool. Not many other watches could do that!

Looks great !

I have a question about the black strap. Is it from real crocodile leather, or from embossed calf ?

The black croc isn't croc Tanya its embossed pile of poop! I sometimes sell my spare straps, but I don't think I could give this one away, its that bad!

I checked my eyes, how well they distinguish material from the photo on the phone

I sort of double guessed myself after ordering it but it's turned out just as good if not better than I thought..

The 127 looks far better now.

A tan strap always works:giggle:

my friend, it is more convenient for me to be on the forum from my phone and it does not take up much space on my desktop. So I am constantly in touch and can immediately answer. Easy to take and send photos.

But your hint is clear to me and I don't mind at all...But first I will buy a Toyota Land Cruiser :giggle:

@Jonnybaws all the combos look great! I really like the green one! Can you please tell me how to contact Jacob? I am not familiar with him.
