When were they discontinued? There’s a dealer in Denmark selling 2020 models.

The blue ones seem difficult to find in good condition. I don’t necessarily want to go vintage, the jumbo (38mm I think) would be nice but again, not many around. Ideally I’d like a 36mm as there is quite a few popping up on eBay/Chrono24 etc.
I’ve found a very nice vintage example but it’s 34mm and I think that’d be pushing it a bit with my 8” wrist...

The blue were not popular first but are now probably the hardest to come by, the blue with fluted bezel is very rare compared to the others. I was due to get married this year and then go to Japan for the honeymoon and was hoping to try and pick one up before they got discontinued.
A guy I follow on instagram deals a lot with this model and I've been watching the prices go up and the supply go down. Nearly got one so many times but I hate paying all the duty etc. Theres other variants like the "cali dial" on there too, he pretty much had them all in at some point. He said that it took him 3 years to find a blue with fluted bezel.
Just going off his information regarding being discontinued as I think he flies out to Asia a few times a year to source them and said that the Royal is replacing them.

Prepare yourself for the blue Tudor Sub though, unreal.
Yeah they are, I've wanted one for ages but they've finally been discoutinued over there and replaced with the Royal. Shame we got the Royal and not this option.
