Just picked up a new one at my AD last week. Can't believe they had one (black eta on bracelet).

BIN is going at the same price as the auction one which has a day left. Both over $3200, both on leather. Before they were discontinued it would have been 1K less.

I think I can get my hands on a gently used one for $2450 on a strap, not bracelet. Shoul I pull the trigger?

I definitely would. It's a great watch, fantastic movement...and you can probably source the bracelet pretty easy. Seems like they'll be collectible in the future.

These things are hitting $4k on straps. Bracelets are easy and relatively cheap to source but wow these things are jumping quick. $5k by summer is my prediction.

I saw one sell same day it was listed at over $3700. Crazy! And the black is my least favorite of the ETA Black Bays. |

I preferred the blue until I had the black in hand. There is a charm to it that is not so present in photography. You have to wear it for a bit to be lured deeply in. It’s now my favorite.

I'd really be temped if they weren't so damn thick! Or slab-sided, I guess.
Tried on the Black (in-house) just today and it does have a charm to it.

Prices of these have gone up. Looks like Timeless Luxury Watches in Texas sold a minty one in a few hours. Asking price was $3750.

I took a look at both when I bought my blue. But it was the blue that won the day. For some reason, the gilt dial without the red bezel just doesn’t work for me.
