Hi!
... hier übrigens eine Erklärung zur Einstellung .... aus dem Nachbarforum:
As I have been told from an EXTREMELY TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE, turquoise was discontinued because it was "so cannibalising", these were the exact words he used. Most of the demands in the latest months that ADs and Boutiques got were for this watch. As it was the cheapest male watch it attracted flippers like crazy. So they decided to discontinue it not to to waste ADs time anymore and get the focus away from it. It was not difficult to make and wasn't produced in less units than the rest colour variations. Quite the opposite.
All the above don't apply for the Red and Yellow, especially the Yellow. Red was difficult to produce and Yellow was extremely difficult. Many Reds and many many Yellows were rejected in quality control making Yellows produced in far less numbers than the rest. That's why they discontinued these 2 colours in all dimensions.
So, for the serious collectors here that don't care about the hype but the true rarity of the pieces:
Yellow is the rarest, Red the second rarest and Turquoise, though not rare, was discontinued in just 41mm because of the silly hype.
