Oscar, we were posting at the same time. I wasn't contradicting you, as I didn't know you were posting your thoughts.I didn't think you were Will?....it's just good to know that Fricker albeit considered one of the very best casemakers does offer lower end service per customer request as far as what they want to spend...there are just so many options in this price range that it is hard for most to decide and knowing what you are getting beforehand can save you some bucks and peace of mind imo ...as I said not all Fricker watches are created equal and that there is more to a watch than just the case...
Fricker statement:
First we make sure that all of our customers receive the requested qualitity and execusion of their cases and watches. In addition we manufacture individual feature for our customers in the highest quality for more than 30 years.
We are working with the set plan.
1. creating
2. customer feedback
3. making technical drawings
4. customer feedback
5. finding and calculating the price of the case or watch
6. production
7. customer feedback
8. assembling and delivery
To point 5:
Here our customer can choose which quality with his features he requested. Some customers request the high end production of German quality and some customers request lower level quality depending on their markets.
Naturally, we also buy some parts (for example gaskets, screws etc.) on the worldwide supplier market. So it is up to our customer to find his own quality price ratio. That means the price and quality structure is our customers' decision.
We do not want to be put into the same pot with companies which are importing watches or cases and selling these as "Made in Germany".
Best regards,
Walter Fricker
