Reply With QuoteNice strap and looks to be a bit of a bargain for £32 :)
I thought that I would share as you may not have heard of Stach, he is a relatively new to strap making and based in Poland. I first came across his work over on the Homage Forum. Being really impressed with the quality of his work for very reasonable prices
My first strap from him has now arrived. It did take some time in getting here from Poland. There was a delay with the post and for a while we thought it wouldn't turn up. I contacted Stach; he was great by following up with the post office his end in Poland to see what had happened and offered to supply another. Then it turned up just after.
The strap was made to my specifications and modeled one jokingly referred to as the Tolkien on the forum as it looked a bit like a wood pattern and something an elf might wear. Mine was to be in 22mm with white thread and black edging. Stach quoted me a very reasonable £32 included postage.
Once it was made Stach posted me some photo's up his blog:

Asking if everything was ok. I requested a smaller polished buckle rather than the large Pam style. Unfortunately it came with a brushed buckle instead of polished though I can always cape cod it easily enough.
After waiting patiently it arrived earlier this week.
The first thing that struck me was that the leather is great quality. Very nicely finished, the leather had been well oiled, was nice and thick. The black edging was well done, nicely stiched and put together.
Here are some photo's of the strap.
Next I mounted the strap onto my Stowa Marine Original and took some more photo's
A final shot out and about in some light:
I've tried a fair few different strap makers over the years and would not hesitate in recommending Stach's work. It is great in quality and price. The only negatives have been with the post and he kindly offered too sort those. I will certainly be putting in some more orders with him in the future :thumbleft:
Nice strap and looks to be a bit of a bargain for £32 :)
Looks great - excellent price too.
But, let's advocate buying british. Toshi all the way :D
A beautiful belt!
I'm interested in this one for my Citizen Automatic width 20 mm but not 22!
:blob:
Thats a bargain. off to send an email now
Thank you for the tip and I have just ordered one from Stach, will update when it arrives

Please do post up how you find it when you get yours and photos would be great. Cheers
Very interested in purchasing one of these straps, What a bargain!!
That strap goes perfectly with the MO and what a bargain. It looks like an £80 strap.
Very nice indeed. thanks for sharing
Why thank you :)Originally Posted by Top
Just received one of these on recommendation from Dowsing
Have to say, at half the price of other handmade straps this is by far the best I've seen.
It's supple, well made and smells beautiful.
Just need a watch to put it on now!!
Looks great, and a very reasonable price as well.
Very nice strap.
It has arrived, very pleased and good value, will take some photos in daylight but below is a link to give you an idea

That goes very nicely Andy :thumbright:

I've ordered another. This time a tapered Stingray from 26mm to 24mm to go on my PRS-20LE.
As well as one of these skull buckles.
Perhaps rather too much, though can't wait to see what they both look like on the Italian.
Very very nice. The watch AND the strap!

My latest Stach turned up in the post today "Big Fish". I fitted the Skull buckle to it and began the fiddly job of changing the Italian's (Precista PRS-20LE) strap after some cursing and thinking I'd lost one of the screws down the floorboards I got there eventually.
Once again beautifully made and Stach's work has been top notch.
This is the first time that I've tried a Stingray strap. I've had a wallet for donkey's years that lasted really well.
What do think?
Looks good, I did wonder who he made that one for. Just got to wait for my next ones to turn up from him!
They have arrived, cannot be beaten on value for money and quality
I quick try out on a 5513, Tudor and an Everest
They look great David. What is the aged looking one that you have there?
It is named 'Cracked', I asked if he could make me one for my 5513 which had a vintage look in keeping with the age of the watch and it works very well.
That does work very nicely together. 8)
Really, really good looking! Will take a loot at his blog!
Very nice Carl, although I can't help thinking I've seen combo like this before :sex: :thumbup:My latest Stach turned up in the post today "Big Fish".

Yes I confess and admit to your great silver and stingray combo having quite a bit of influence :)
The color of strap is very cool.
