249 without hesitation. Thinner + no silly engravings + nicer looking movement + ETA movement can be easily and cheaply serviced by any competent watchmaker + better looking colors (IMHO) + the first modern Cali PAM.

249 without any doubt. It's a special edition and have appreciated in value. It's a huge hit with the collectors.

It's value is certainly questionable in recent years. Regardless, it is a LE and a special piece!
