"Discussions about creating a new version of the watch reached fruition at the beginning of 2006 when Time Factors owner, Eddie Platts met his then supplier Fricker. His Precista 93 was used as a template for the project, with quartz and automatic versions planned. From discussions on the TZ-UK forum at the time, this was clearly going to be popular release. The specifications were finalised in March 2006 and baring one or two hiccups from the supplier, PRS-18Q became available in early August 2006, with the automatic arriving a month later. They immediately proved to be best-sellers, with both watches in this first batch selling out, so a second batch was commissioned. These became available in July 2009.
The second batch also sold out. However the popularity of the watch ensured that a third batch was ordered and went on sale in January 2012. This run with the watches dated 2011, saw not only a change of manufacturer but also a change of movement for the PRS-18A. These were manufactured by Roland Kemmner in Germany, who has an excellent reputation for producing high quality pieces under his own brand name and for other companies."

"Roland Kemmner was employed by Fricker as a production engineer. He resigned two or three years ago and set up a business on his own. He was involved in the Dreadnought production and finalized the Precista project (iirc). He offers swiss as well as chinese movements (erkahund on ebay)."

WWW他們這隻有點貴，如果喜歡Fricker的殼，這隻石英版的還蠻便宜的，Miyota的也不算太貴！
