Assuming true...........this reminds me a bit of Panerai. For many years, the only modern Cali dial you could get was the 249 (think Snoopy 1). Then a number of years later, they came out with the 448 (think Snoopy 2 - but my no means as cool as Snoopy 2). Both LE's. Both hits. Yes, there were some precious metal editions, but spendy and also LE's. Then came the 424 which was a regular production Panerai Cali dial with their newest and truest movement. Panerai wanted in on that Cali dial demand and $$$$. Much like we see Omega trying to cash in on with a modern Ed White. I'm sure they look at secondary prices of original models and drool at the dollar figures. The demand is certainly there with the Snoopy I'm sure. Modern variation. 3861 movement. Spendy price tag we all complain about. I can certainly see it.
