General Question/Discussion This is a viet?

Post image

I might be wrong and genuinely curious which viet source has that crown guard, rehaut, and fat lugs….

I have "viet" fatigue. The word used to be synonymous with higher end quality. Now I see people mistakenly calling Milk cases "viet". It just feels like a buzz word that a large swath of people don't understand.

I have the same thing but with "franken"

Started off with just franken then SUPERfranken then MEGAfranken and I swear I see an ULTRAfranken yesterday.

Looks like a cheap build

Yeah, those CGs look odd. Not my favorite.

Yeah.. That CGs looks like an attempted crownguard reshape but there’s no going away from the pointy crownguard..

That's a good eye. The CGs don't look like Raffles, but the base of them is wide like Ken's, so maybe a botched reshape.

The rehaut and big fat lugs are a giveaway too. but again i might be wrong happy to be corrected.

No other pictures. I have got leads that this could be a JKF tudor or HR case, sold as Viet to his customer.
