    PRS3 Case Recycled in new Kemmner watch??

    I notice Herr Kemmner has a new watch named "Frog" (having used Turtle, Octopus and SeaHorse).
    Or at least I think it is new
    The case looks very like the PRS3, but with a much more Doxa-like dial.
    If it is the same, it is odd that he has de-rated the WR to 200m.

    Personally, I think the PRS-3 design hangs together much more than this.

    It is the PRS-3 case and bracelet, he told me he had another 100 cases and asked if I wanted them; I didn't.

    Always felt the second hand on the PRS3 needed better visibility.

    I guess I had come to the conclusion that it must be.
    Did it not sell as well as it should?

    It's strange, the limited edition ones sold very quickly but the black dial has lingered.

    I found it clearly visible on my (blue) LE, but not so much on the black non-LE.

    Methinks the PRS3 is visually better balanced; especially the bezel on the Kemmner is confusing.

    The bezel is the same as the the PRS-3 limited editions that sold well.

    Got me there, I was looking at the regular PRS3. Still, the Kemmner looks odd

    I like the countdown bezel on the PRS-3LE and find it useful !

    I'm not that fussed about the typeface on the kemmner -doesn't look legible enough.
