ANy idea when and why this particular model was discontinued? Are there issues with the 689?

I'm asking 'coz as i was canvassing for a .357 magnum, a local Taurus dealer here in the Philippines has M689s on display, and I understand they still have stocks.

Just want to make sure that these stocks are of quality. I haven't encountered problems & very satisfied with my M82 (.38 special), but makes me curious why it was discontinued...

and do they still sell this model over there?
