I love my cb 690 but I made the mistake of going with a black oxide finished, they looked great for about 6 months but now they're all beat up and fading quick. I hope someone here might have an insight if there should be new cb coming out soon. Was going to make a mix set with 3-5 ap2 and 6-pw cb 710 but I can wait if there any rumor of maybe 712cb??
