warburg Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 No doubt this is a stupid question, but my dictionaries won't tell me. What is a "rehaut"?
kasigi Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 It's all here... http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=12100
swdivad Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 The rehaut is the ring between the dial and the bezel/crystal... On some watches, it has the tachymetre scale, on some Rolexes, it has ROLEXROLEXROLEX etched on its surface.
Watchmeister Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 rehaut was originally a french term referring to the "highlights" in a painting or in effect the depth in a painting. As far as watches go I think of it as the height from the crystal to the dial.
warburg Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Posted November 18, 2006 Many thanks. I'm surprised that this is apparently such an important aspect of evaluating replicas since one would have to look very closely to see it.
Watchmeister Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 Actually rehaut which is way off is fairly obvious as it changes the appearance of the dial and hands beneath the crystal never mind the sizing of the date if it an automatic with date and cyclops.
fotoman Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 rehaut is another thing for us to nitpick about reps war - i am guessing like me, y ou were away from the board for a bit and came back and everyone was screaming about rehaut, took me a while to find the answer too

Just today I was looking over some downloads of watch term definitions, and I realized that "rehaut" wasn't among them, so my curiosity overcame my fear and I got up the courage to ask.
jkerouac Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 Rehaut: Leftovers from a haute cuisine restaurant. As in: "I reheated the haute cuisine meal" and abbreviated in culinary circles to "rehaut."
