Hello Red,

Fricker is a German based company and are generally renowned as one of the top case manufacturers in the industry.  They assemble watches under a private label arrangement to their customers specifications.  As you have seen there are a number of companies out there that used them.

I'm not aware of any that use a Fricker case and an Asian movement.  There are members here who can better answer this.

Longio is an Asian based case and PL watch manufacturer and can say from direct experience that they do excellent work.  I must be clear my Cave Dweller is made by them and I am more than please with the watch, as I believe Ralf (Benarus) is too.

If I may read between the lines, you'd be getting an awesome watch if you were to choose one made from either company.
