Hello and WELCOME from the official RWI reception desk!

You are receiving this introduction because you either posted in the "new members say hi" section or —for the first time(s)— elsewhere. In the latter case, consider introducing yourself in the aforementioned section.

If you haven't already, please make sure to read all relevant sticky threads. They contain important and essential information such as the forum rules! Most importantly the sales rules, because you will NOT yet be eligible / allowed to sell unless you meet certain criteria / are certified first.

A good starting point is this list of resources on RWI:

Please also take another look at this important sticky that you should already have seen after logging on for the first time:

This quick anti-fraud guide is essential if you are about to order from a dealer for the first time:

If you need any further assistance, feel free to contact me or @Feefo!

We will gladly help, but please allow some time for PM responses as we have lifes outside of RWI!

I have a couple of genuine rehauts to give away for free.





And kittens.

And candy.




Lots of candy. Rehaut-shaped candy.







All you have to get one is hop into my windowless, creepy looking van.

I assumed the rehaut was another layer, like dial, rehaut, crystal, bezel or something
Rehaut is part of the case. It is created using a specialized laser pecker.

I did research on this and it is practically near impossible to do custom rehaut engravings on an existing case. First of all you need to find a laser pecker or service willing to do it. And sanding the rehaut off actually will have a weird gap between dial and case.

The only way to do this is with a CNC custom case from scratch and properly engraved with the correct machine. It can be done - see some of the full gold cases with rehaut. But very expensive. I've never seen a custom steel CNC case on the forum....

Do people sell genuine rehauts?

Just a general suggestion for anyone wondering if certain parts of a watch are sold separately: You could try searching for them on eBay or on a parts dealer web site etc.

If there are 0 results, there's your answer.

thanks for the answer, this is the conclusion i ended up coming to, that the rehaut was part of the case and so it's generally unremovable

I searched on ebay / etc, didn't get results, but I thought it was more so that I was searching the wrong keyword / part is rare to acquire or whatever
