Revere Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Build is as follows: TC case, crown, bezel, crystal, SH3135 movt, JF LV dial, JF LV hands, Preik caseback. Currently in the in-between phase while I get the rest of my 16800 parts. Looks pretty good to me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC109 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Can we see the front? I'd love to know how the JF dial lines up with a TC case, given that the JF rehaut looks a little wokkier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know how the JF dial lines up with a TC case, given that the JF rehaut looks a little wokkier. Here you go, just took this. It lines up very well; the bezel is a little rotated CW, so that is why it is not centered with respect to the dial. With this in mind, it suggests to me that the only way a JF rehaut could be wokky is if it is shallower than gen. That would also suggest that the case construction is not 1:1, as it would require the movement to move further forward in the case, and would alter the crown position. If I have this wrong, I welcome someone to correct me. Edited June 3, 2017 by Revere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The angle of the rehaut wall is the only thing that is affected. Beautiful combo BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Wokky is wok shaped or concave, so the top and bottom positions of the rehaut wouldn't necessarily be affected. I don't believe that the JF is any where near as 1:1 as is claimed, just because it takes gen parts, doesn't necessarily mean it is gen construction in the details.

Revere Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'm a little confused then. If the JF takes a gen crystal then the top of the rehaut must be the correct diameter, right? Similarly, if the JF takes a gen dial, then that dial aperture must also be the correct diameter. If I'm right, then the angle of the rehaut can only be varied by differing the distance between the planes of the top of the rehaut and the bottom of the rehaut, no?

Sogeha Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Best image I can find online to explain. The top edge and bottom edge can be in the same place as a none concave or wokky rehaut, only the middle changes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revere Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 That makes sense. I didn't think that the rehaut would really be that messed up. When I uncase this build I'll compare the TC rehaut to the JF rehaut and report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
