Straight(er) chapter ring or rehaut?
Hi everyone!
Just a quick, and maybe random, question: are there “straight” chapter rings that could be used to replace the standard ones that extend towards the inner of the dial? I’m asking because, in a recent build, I’m not liking how much dial space the chapter ring is taking, and as the whole watch color scheme is silver, the dial looks kinda… small?
In the following custom watch, the chapter ring seems to be the type I’m asking about, way straighter than in my build, or at least it looks like it to me, don’t know if it could be because the dial is black instead of all of it being silver (like mine).
I’ve read about a watch piece called “rehaut” that can be considered as a “rim” between the dial and crystal, and that also seems to be what I’m looking for, but I’ve been unable to find where to buy those for the typical NH35 movement.
Thanks a lot!! 😌
Welcome to my WatchCrunch profile.
its probably fixed in there with a smaller dial you can order cases both ways according to dial diameter.

Hi @OldSnafu,
It seems like you're right, because the 36mm version of the exact same watch case I bough does seem to have the chapter ring I was asking about:
I'll order one of those to see if it works better for me than the previous one. Thanks! :)

the dial will be a different size from the one with the big chapter ring. measure both case and dial
