radiomir 268 discontinued?

so i went to panerai ad to check out radiomirs.

according to the AD most of the models im looking for are not current production model. im taking this with a little grain of salt.

he kept pushing a titanium radiomir 8days brown dial with power reserve at the back (similar to 190 but in house movement).

i know the 190 is discontinued. but i was looking for the 268. he said that was discontinued too. is this true?

i want the shiny steel case. if this is true, then there is no more manual wind 8 days SS radiomir?

Yes, 268 is discontinued, but is a slow seller. There are plenty out there at AD's still. Maybe not at your AD, but you could easily find one at many AD's now.

come to think of it the 8 days is a little to thick for a radiomir.

im envisioning a radiomir to be elegant so the historic base models look very classy.

how about the 3 days automatic? somewhere in between.

what do you guys think?
