How rare is the GMT Blueberry?

Incredible looking watch, reminiscent of the Sub SHARK:

I am not a great expert but some time ago I enquired a very well known vintage seller and he stated no blue bezel 1675 GMT were ever made aside from special orders (i.e. dial marked Cartier) and the UAE air force ones...could someone enlight me about that?

The bezel insert is quite rare and sells for roughly $4k now. The one in above photo looks a bit dark to me and not like a true blueberry insert- JMHO.

That's the original Blueberry and I do prefer that one as well. Looks super nice!

I believe the blue bezel was ordered by the UAE department of defense.

That is a real Blueberry insert- not to mention a true UAE dial original to that watch. It also belongs to a friend of mine.
