Mine was put in with them too, wonder if that is what is holding up production.

Looks like it is available to me... with or without PCCB. (US Configurator)

I was contacted by my SA last week indicating they might have an August allocation if I was interested and that Porsche Canada wanted a minimum of $42,100 in options. I guess that isn't the case looking at your build sheet.

He didn't mention anything about having to purchase the watch.

I got the same message for minimum options, my suspicion is it's a dealer ask, to improve their margins in place of ADM's you get asked for in the US.

I will go for PTS Nordic Gold Metallic and wheels painted in Satin Neodyme with PCCB.
Very nice.👍
May I suggest changing the red pull loops to black?

I don't sell them but I believe 348SStb is having a bunch made up.

Slight correction 😃

I know a guy in the US who is waiting to work on these and I also know a guy in Europe who has already fabricated these.

it’s not great, but that’s the best offer I got

P.S If you want WP+PCCB (23k), 30 is not that bad

Don't think it would be a Porsche Canada requirement. I wasn't made to do this with my allocation (and my total options came to around $25k), however the dealer required the watch purchase.

Throw PTS on that if available and you are there...

Yes, you will hit 30k fast and those are desirable options. It's just the demand of the option threshold that is frustrating - more, more and more.
