This is the prototype and the crown/stem is just laid in position, it's not fitted.

That looks really nice! What are the specs?

I like that a lot Eddie, I fancied trying a CWC but that puts that plan on hold.
The case looks brushed as opposed to the bead blasted currently?

Looks really nice. Could end up being a rival for daily wearer with my Shogun. Who is certifying the movement?

Which movement will you be using?

Trendline F06.411
New bezel insert? Certainly a change in font... are the numbers cut into it?
The 3/6/9 font looks a little lighter too.
Also - just notice the arrow shape of the second hand looks new as well?
My 18Q is the ultimate grab and go beater!!
If it uses an engraved insert, that would be a major improvement for me.
Martin
The case looks bead blasted to me. The case back clearly brushed/polished but this is a prototype.

Looking again I tend to agree, whatever I will probably get one as I do regret moving on my first one, although I would love a brushed version.
Excellent, really looking forward to this one. Up to now, I've regarded the PRS-10 as my everyday perfect watch.
Nice, it freshens up the design nicely.
Any chance of it on a bracelet?
That is definitely what I have been looking for. Can't wait for it to be in stock.
+1 on the bracelet if possible!

Looks great. I lile the brushed finish better then the bead blasted because its easier to freshen up. Hopefully it will have the same great lume, same dimensions and hopefully a date window.
Do you see a date window?

No, but one can dream :)
We have the same dream.....
This may be a stupid question,
but I'm sticking my neck out...
What movement(s) will be in the new COSC release?
Previous specs were...
PRS-18Q: Ronda 715Li quartz
PRS-18A: Miyota 9015 automatic
See above.This may be a stupid question,

Thanks number2 !
Wasn't familiar with that one...
I think my eyes were scanning for "Ronda" / "ETA" / "Miyota" ec.
Here's the specifications page for this ETA quartz movement.

You're welcome,
Hopefully they won't be too expensive.

Wow, this is exciting! Such a classic. I've overlooked the 18Q until now, but this is at the top of my list now. Eddie, thanks for bringing it back!
The hands look a little short.
i agree with the above comment;to my eyes the minute hand would look better touching the outer edge of the minute track (ie the same length as the seconds hand) Looking at my SMP 2264.50 these proportions work well.
the prototype looks great: hopefully ordering will start soon.
Is it just the perspective on the photo?
They do seem a little short compared to other PRS-18Q.
Pictures of previous PRS-18 show the minute hand about half-way into the minute markers.
It's not perspective, the minute hand touches the beginning of the minute hash marker making the hand about 1mm shorter than the previous version.

And therefore perfect. To my eyes the minute hand on the older version was too long and this new design corrects that.

I have a 2014 Explorer, the hands are not short. ;)
Eddie, congratulations on the resurrection of the 18Q, those magic words "certified chronometer" will I'm certain ensure it will be an instant success.
Any chance it is coming with an automatic movement as well?

I think the hands look better on the previous version.
Looks fantastic - can't wait to get one. Is there any update on when it will be available or is it still "before Christmas"?
Looks fantastic - will keep an eye on the website

Looks great, is there any confirmation on whether it's brushed or blasted finish.
I'm hoping it's brushed.
This is exactly what I have been waiting for. Is there any update on timeline?

Ok it's clearly time to buy a watch box now...
Oh yes, really looking forward to this incoming.
Was hoping for the hands to be a mm or two longer but will still buy one. Any chance for a 2017 release?
Kind Regards,

Hope to find one under the Christmas tree this year.
All I can say at the moment is that I approved the dial last week.

These are looking great! Eddie, will you be sending out an announcement to the Timefactors email list when they go on sale?
Yes.

Always a tease....
Who is on the Timefactors email list- previous buyers?

Looks great, tho I'd have liked it more without the 3 6 9. Great stuff!
I decided against 15 18 24.
