Does the Super Engineer bracelet suit the PRS-18 better than the Watchadoo Lumpy?

Mine just came out of the closet and we went doing stuff in the woods together
When the PRS-18Q is made again, it will have the ETA F.06.411 movement with full COSC. The only thing I haven't yet decided is whether to retain "GREAT BRITAIN" on the dial or "SWISS MADE", as it will be made in Switzerland due to ETA's refusal to supply COSC movements for watches built outside Switzerland.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

I would mark the dial with 'Swiss Made' as it would be COSC. I like the certified chronometer designation and it would make me want yet another PRS-18 to add to those I have already.
Why are you considering switching from Ronda to ETA?
Dave
^^^ Because I wanted it to be a certified chronometer and you can't get that with the Ronda.

Okay thanks.
Dave
And when did you wanted it to be back in stock Eddie?
Does that movement have the same sort of battery life as the Ronda?
I love my 18Q but a cosc version really appeals to me for some reason.
Eddie,
Is the 17Q going to make a comeback?
Dave
Yes this please, or the A, to go with my C would be good.
I see.
Now at the risk of going for triple jeopardy, what does the Nato number signify? Is it that the watch is manufactured in accordance with Nato requirements, for example?

Very exciting news! Roughly when do you think it might happen? I will be in the queue to buy one!
At this stage, I can only say it will be available before the end of the year.

That's great news - I'll be buying one as soon as you get them!

Very interesting to me!
Excuse the stupid question, but what does the NATO serial number signify? A supply to the MOD?
A usp.
A Unique Selling Point?
