I for one would really like it back on the dial. I would wait for the next edition to have it.


+1

I second that request.

+1 ! A Fricker case deserve it... It may be a little detail for somes but I guess that at the end, it's all coming down to the "Swiss Made" principle: It's a prestige and a selling attribute.
For me Andrers, the real "Made in Germany" stample you are using(not the "Germany" one who's on the 100buks Chinese models selling all over the net) says in fact "Made, finished and assembled by serious and professional people, taking the time to have it done right...NOT under-paid chain-workers assembling watches after 1 week formation in a dusty Hong-Kong random fabric"
The Chineses may produce some good parts but the watch assembling never impressed me.
