The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Just had a thought and wondered what colour face is the rarest or hardest to get, or did they do them in the same numbers etc .
Thanks

I'm pretty sure the black is the most common one. Out of the rest, I guess the blue is more rare than the gray.

i always thought the black was, i thought the blue was the common colour

Not so sure this is a matter of opinion... Someone might know the answer but everything else would be a guess.


Blue?

You see less Blue in the wild because fewer people appriciate Blue dials.

So, Blue.

So does anyone actually know

Breitling don't release sales numbers, let alone sales numbers by dial colour, so outside of Breitling - no. All you can do is go by observations 'in the wild'.

I see more black & grey used on sale so I'd have to assume blue is the more desirable as owners want to hang on to them...... Eliminatory Watson.

Not my take....

Fewer people like blue so less are sold, therefore they are rarer. Not better or worse, rarer.
QED.

Indeed - Elementary, Eliminatory if you prefer!

In my experience, the black is the most rare since I never really see many of them. I owned a grey one, but only saw a few of those. The majority I see for sale are the blue dial ones.

Edit: seems like we all have differing opinions. I guess you just have to be in the right place (or on the right page) at the right time. However, my Breitling "career" started much after when they were sold at ADs as new stock aka not discontinued.
