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?
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!!
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.
Looks great. What will the price be? Still on course for a 2017 release?
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
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.
Trendline F06.411

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!
Excellent, really looking forward to this one. Up to now, I've regarded the PRS-10 as my everyday perfect watch.
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.
Any chance it is coming with an automatic movement as well?

I think the hands look better on the previous version.
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.
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?

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.

Looks great, tho I'd have liked it more without the 3 6 9. Great stuff!
This looks great! I must have missed the thread about about this completely.
Do we have any idea of price yet?
Cheers
Now that would have been unique!
