Panerai 292 Black Seal Ceramic questions

[donas]

Can anyone tell me more about his watch, specifically # of each serial made and how long the black ceramic has been around.

I just saw one of these watches first hand and loved it, but I didn't buy into the sales person "hype" without trying to do some research first. I can't seem to find too much about it. I know its a replica of the original from the '30s, but I think that one was stainless?? I discovered the J serial # with the "pig" dial is worth more. But how many of the other #s are made. I saw a K serial in the store, the sales person claims only 1000 made and it was the most recent production #. I see M serials on the web, is that not newer? Do they only make 1000 of each run? Is the black ceramic new?

Thanks
