Again, after the "celebration of photography" last week in Wetzlar without any major annoncement (no M12 etc,...), I guess the M11-P will be released between October 16th and 27th. 

2024 is the 70 years anniveresaire of Leica M. I think we will see some major product launchs.

Good point, but M11 is only in its 3rd year in 2024.

Yes, at least we will probably have an announcement for a future roadmap of M , next 30 years… 

and the presentation of the replacement of the Leica S as a mirrorless concurrent of Hasselblad

It all sounds like the perfect time to introduce a 70th anniversary black paint M11.
Now the question is, will it be a run of 70 units or 700 units and will it come with a lens? If so I think a black paint version of the latest close focus 50/1.4 ASPH will be the natural choice given that the original M11 was introduced with the 50

Just saw by chance that the Leica store in Munich offers (inter alia) the M11 with 10% discount and thus for 7850 €. This is an indication that a better model will follow soon?

Wonder if Leica has authorized all Leica stores to discount the M11 by 10%?

The Munich Leica store (as the ones in Berlin and Hamburg) is owned by Martin Meister. He sold them to Leica to November 1st. Till then You get 10% off. 

OK, but there is a Leica Store across the street from Franziskaner Restaurant on Maffeistrasse 4, 80333 Munchen too. I wonder if after the new yer Leica will close duplicate store locations? I bought items at the Meister store in the past and had conversations, but they were less than helpful at times which seemed contrary to the Leica ethos.

Perhaps the discount is only to reduce inventory that probably was sold to Meister at prices higher than Leica's own stores pay the parent company.

There used to be a Leica dealer behind the Rathaus (opposite side from the Marienplatz) by that large open grassed area? There is also a U-Bahn entrance right there and a music store on the corner. It was not a Leica Store, but a privately owned business that had been there for quite some time. Was that Meister?

I bought an Elmer 3.5/50 from them about 10 years ago, when I was working in Munich.

Leica Germany started pumping advertisements and creating interest on social media for users to share their photos OF M cameras, not made with. I guess minumum one week and tops a fortnight until announcement.

Kudos for the use of fortnight in a forecast!:)

Leica Store Bellevue (WA, USA) is having a grand opening of their new location October 21st ... ribbon cutting ... opening exhibition ... wonder if it's coinciding with any other event?

No product announcements. But a decent supply of champers.
