@KJ2020 had something similar to this and I realized I had the parts laying about.  Air King is a natural for GMT.  I mean its an AIR King.

I like that! Nice invention. If I was being hyper critical, I'd say it looks a tiny bit wokky, but that small thing aside, nice fantasy piece!

What is "wokky"?

Lol. Not my expression by the way, but borrowed from elsewhere.

Wokky (so I'm reliably informed) refers to the rehault being 'wok like'.

I think where I've marked the photo on the rehault, it just looks slightly too tall and the angle a bit too shallow - like the sides of a wok. A shorter, steeper rehault would make it look more elegant imo.

Wokky innit!

Nonsense you pair of noobs, wokky is a thing!

Look, I just googled it and there are loads of hits, with various spellings, on the forums. Such as here at post #1989 for example:

https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/angus-s-industry-insights/293397-it-s-time-to-say-goodbye-to-tc-sub/page133

And Rich's rehault isn't wonky at all, but it sure is wokky!

This is [a] wonky:

Eh, it was a case in the bottom of my parts box that had been there at least 4 years.  I used a torch to pop the cyclops off.

It is what it is.  Now its a watch.  And I like it.

Me too! It was just my opinion on how to make a lovely watch even nicer - as I said, I was being hyper critical; it's a cracker.

Exactly!

Well, the wok/frying pan should be turned over for a true reflection, but basically, yeah!
