Nothing new if they do, and it’s for sure not something to lay on Hodinkee. This has been going on forever, AP, Omega, Panerai, Patek.....even Lange. Can you imagine how peeved the folks that plonked down $100K + for a Richard Lange PLM in 2008 or 2009 were when they released another one (different dial, white gold, but significantly cheaper) 5 or 6 years later. People are still pretty annoyed.

Don’t know much, anything, about these FF as generally they are too big for my wrist.
