I have this in trying out some things for it. But I just put it on a Magnum. Check it out. :thumbsup:

Its a big watch. I am thinking a B&R style rubber strap might work better. I am not sure.

Rubber just don’t work. Go weathered leather or canvas.

Terry, that's a good looking watch. It looks like it has some Sinn DNA. I like it.

Problem is there is no room to put on a decent strap. Need to order curved bars to see if it helps

Good potential but needs some tweaks.

Thanks, Brice. It had great potential, but I think they made several mistakes with the design. The lack of room in the lugs is the biggest one.

Terry sells curved bars. Or just bend them yourself. I'm not 100% sure how I bent mine for the Bali H'ai C but might have been over a piece of 3/4" pvc sprinkler pipe.

I tried curved spring bars on it and it gives just enough for a 1.2mm nato, but that is it.

It is a major design flaw. It looks like shit on any strap worth wearing.

I’ve got an Alpina strap on mine now. I couldn’t fit the blue canvas I wanted to try but will see if I can once o get curved bars

I really like the watch overall though, the profile is cool, unique and I definitely love the blue dial. The finish is nice too.
I think a little work on the lugs-lug hole placement, would make this a winner and a solid value too. I also like the fact it’s short for a 45mm Watch so it doesn’t overhang the sides of my wrists.

I think the people who buy them don’t care like we do. Let’s face it, more non-WIS out there than folks like us Image
I am wondering if an extra set of lug holes placed higher would help aesthetically as the slope of the strap on the wrist would follow that of the lugs

It was allegedly designed by a “WIS”.

It does look great on the bracelet.
I find the quality to be very good, nice polished and brushed SS finish. The dial is very nice and the rotor is pretty cool on the Valjoux 7750

What is your guys opinion about this: www.tockr.net
Seems that there is a controversy about the supplychain of Tockr. They promised full swiss components but seems that there are voices who claim the opposite. Did somebody buy a Tockr watch? How does the quality feel?
