GingerApple 7,288 Posted May 3, 2019 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerApple 7,288 Posted May 3, 2019 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!

NCRich 13,751 Posted May 3, 2019 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 27 minutes ago, KarmaToBurn said: He says it looks like this.. Exactly! Well, the wok/frying pan should be turned over for a true reflection, but basically, yeah! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
