An excellent point.
In fact, a bit like Leitz... My IID is actually a 1930 Model I that was factory upgraded 4 years later. In this day and age, when so much acreage is being devoted to writing about recycling, this is a step in the right direction. Those who have paid £'000's for their M8 should be pleased to learn that it can not only be updated, but given a new 2 year warranty.
