Been thinking of picking up an ETA-based burgundy Black Bay before the new ones hit, but I don't seem to be having much luck. Have they pretty much dried up? No, I have not called every AD in the country but some quick hits have turned up zilch. Was wondering if others had been having luck finding any.

Not sold out. Saw one of every color in Atlanta AD today.

Picked up a BBN just over two weeks ago from the Milwaukee AD and they had the red in both strap and bracelet a week ago still.

sechsgang · 13 September 2016, 12:39 PM

You can find them but they are getting way more scarce. Call Govbergs in Philadelphia as they have one on strap and one on bracelet left I think. Torneau in King of Prussia I believe has one of each as well still left.

Chadridv · 13 September 2016, 12:44 PM

Just saw one in NY too last week!

aekdb · 13 September 2016, 12:46 PM

I believe the AD in Memphis still has the red on bracelet in stock

nvrp813 · 13 September 2016, 12:59 PM

Sidney Thomas in Short Hills, NJ has a display case filled with the ETA BB's.

I saw one in Helsinki airport a few days ago. Probably doesn't help too much.

Glidelock · 13 September 2016, 02:40 PM

I just picked one up brand new from one of our trusted sellers a few months back, but they are definitely getting more scarce!

Benjo74 · 13 September 2016, 06:16 PM

David M Robinson in Canary Wharf, London had them in the window yesterday. In blue as well, but not black.

They are still around. My AD has them and some pre-owned also.

travisb · 13 September 2016, 09:05 PM

I still see a lot of them. My AD has 2 in the case.

Rolex addict · 13 September 2016, 09:54 PM

Fairly available. Tomalf has one for sale here. I was with him at the Vegas GTG this year when he bought it.

Ferdelious · 14 September 2016, 12:24 AM

Have you tried the trusted sellers? I'm sure they could source one.

jnelson3097 · 14 September 2016, 02:14 AM

Pretty sure my AD has all of them available with discounts

Have not and holding on that option for now.

Thanks everyone, I'll do some calling around.

i have seen plenty of blue and red bezel models but no blacks

masyv6 · 14 September 2016, 02:27 AM

Plenty to be had in ADs and also on the forums

WAK4 · 14 September 2016, 03:49 AM

My AD had 2 last time I was there - one strap, one on bracelet. PM me if you want their details and I can give you a contact to reach out to.

porschedude · 14 September 2016, 04:28 AM

Ive been contemplating picking another one up before they are all gone. 1st gen black bay has been my daily wearer for about 2-3 years now and really enjoy it. Not a fan of the new model, although the new bronze is very tempting as well.

25 New for Sale on Ebay right now with Buy It Now starting around $2,300.

So I'd say no.

Edit: Just realized you said Burgundy, only 13 of the ones in Ebay are in the red color.

AgentHsu · 14 September 2016, 09:36 AM

Palazzo in Las Vegas sells them stilll.
