Might be a silly question, but is the BB blue eta not as rare as the BB black eta?

I’ve noticed people talk about picking up a black one in a hurry because they are rare.

What about the blue?

Thanks.

Black was only a limited run before switching movement. Blue and red were around much longer and many more in rotation.

Ive also noticed the bbb price has normalised at around 2400 ppunds
And there are more common to see on chrono or ebay or forum sales threads

These appear to have fallen below $3k. Disappointing, as I never wear mine anymore but won't bother selling it for that little. My guess is that the BB58 is to blame, although this was getting hyped up more than I think was justified, which probably contributed some.

Time will tell, one thing is a fact. The production was the least of any ETA Black Bay.

Just purchased a Tudor Heritage Black Bay 79220N ETA.

I see this thread has been dead for two years. Did the excitement around this model die out?

I bought it because I just loved to Tudor rose and smiley dial. Didn't realize there might be anything special about it.
