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

Re: Tockr Air Defender
Its a big watch. I am thinking a B&R style rubber strap might work better. I am not sure.

I’m loving it more now after getting these straps
Re: Tockr Air Defender
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 helpsHapaHapa wrote:Rubber just don’t work. Go weathered leather or canvas.

Re: Tockr Air Defender
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.Jeep99dad wrote:Jeep99dad wrote:I did.

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.

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

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 barsmikeylacroix wrote:I don't know anything about these...so the case only takes in the stock strap..?

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 usCGSshorty wrote:It is a major design flaw.

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

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

Re: Tockr Air Defender
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?
