and no you are not making sense and I have no idea where you are reading this stuff to make this kind of assumption...never heard of a Asian Fricker like case?:? 

Fricker is a very high end case/watch maker that produces Kobold,MarcelloC,Kazimon to name a few ....Longio is the most popular Asian case/watch maker responsible for most of the forum watches popping up and make a very high quality watch using miyota movements at a great price but add an eta and the prices go up substantially in most cases.hand6.gif

hehe ... fair enough Mr Gaspar.  Like I said, I'm a newbie.  I think my terminology might be off.  What I meant is , are their any Fricker cases that are copied by an Asian manufacturer?  In any event, it really doesn't matter ... many of the ones listed are excellent deals (Boschett, Benarus).  This has been quite an informative and interesting topic for me.  I have learned a lot, thank you all.  So the way I understand it is that Fricker is basically a subcontracter for clients who want a case designed.  In that event, once Fricker manufactures a case for a client, can anyone else use that case?  It seems like Longio does it.

On a side note ... What does "mid case" mean?  I'm not sure I understand what exactly it refers to.
