Yeah, I'm with you there! I have seen SEVERAL blue ones on feeBay, of late, the cheapest for $99 smacks, and the most expensive for $174.99. BOTH looked very good, with very little wear and tear. Like you, I also have a quartz version, with black rubber strap and grey dial. I bought it mainly for the very cool "coin" on the case-back, with the "Vortex" name and tri-hurricane logo; well, THAT, and it's a very sharp looking watch... At any rate, if blue's your color, they're OUT THERE, mon ami! Keep looking!!
