That's 1st iteration of Black Bay; the red Black Bay with ETA movement. Not sure why they still have it in their stock. Discontinued many years back!

I like the burgundy bezel, but dislike the decorative rivets on the bracelet. If it had the bracelet that the chrono has, I would probably buy that watch.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong but I don't think the bracelets on the BB ETA's have the faux rivets. The bracelet is much more akin to the Rolex Oyster

Yes, I couldn't believe my eyes either. The ETA mechanised Heritage Black Bay watches were hailed by collectors as the Tudor to acquire instead of their in-house successors.

Implied more by sellers than collectors to create a "must have" scenario, not because they are any better.

Yep - you can see there are no rivets on it. Nice watch.

They’re not anymore. I have been offered three on walk ins but date issue putting me right off of it. Shame as a lovely thing in the metal.

If the size is a tad bit smaller (height and width), it’ll be perfect!

That MK1 BB would be a sweet pickup for someone.

Sure miss my THC...one of the dumber moves I've made was to flip that one. Such a great chrono.

There's an AD near me that still has 2 BB ETA's in the window. A few months since I've been there though. On the verge of trading mine towards a sub.
