MAKERS! We need a proper 249!

This watch needs to be properly repped. With the new movements now coming with the incabloc, a super rep of this watch shouldn't be too far off right?

The elegance of the california dial coupled with the blue hands is a total knockout. Please makers, rep this watch. To the members who have the makers' ear give them a nudge!

I think it' dificult becouse panerai 448 fail and the price down.
i hear they did 2.000 Pam 448 and they sold 150 units and prices down for sell more.

not many people are keen on the superclone P3000, has a good power reserve but accuracy just gets bad unless you keep it fully wound. also since its a totally custom movement, there are no spare parts, no one willing to service etc. compared to the 6497 its not as reliable.

I think the 249 would be a good seller, they just need to make a good version.

This doesn't make sense, the SF sold out and was no longer available, maybe you're talking about the ZF version?

The SF sold out when they dropped the price from 400+ to 240 usd. Very good for those who could benefit from the drop because it's one of the best reps I own. Unluckily I paid it full price :(

SF ones are still available at $240 right now.
I was one of the early adopters and paid full price too.

I thought only ZF where available, since a few months...
Good to hear, but which TD did you check with?

Well, I'm keen on it. It looks great and maybe adds a minute after day three... But mine are still running strong after 3 months.
