    PRS 18A Questions

    Good day all! I have an older PRS18A enroute and was wondering if anyone could tell me the production date based on the serial number. It's on older model with the ETA 2824 movement and has serial number 0690128. Also, would this be a Fricker made case? Thanks all!

    September 2006, made by Fricker. All the 2824 powered ones are made by Fricker.

    How about the one with Miyota? It's made by another?

    Maybe slightly off topic, but as we are talking about manufacturers, after it got lots of scratches due to an accident, I completely disassembled a Kemmner manufactured PRS-18 for refinishing it's surface and hence had the possibility to take a closer look,

    the build quality is throughout excellent.

    I can not see how another manufacturer could do it any better.

    Not to mention that it would appear that the clone thread was started a day before mine...Twilight Zone?

    That's not the only suspect post on that forum... at random.

    "1st post in the forum and had a couple of questions...." Posted yesterday from a Junior Member-Join Date Apr 2013 -Posts 5,737.

    The original appears to be here on WUS and again timed a day later.
