The discontinued steel 31mm, sitting dead-center in the unisex size wave with a modern movement and sapphire crystal.
Drafting behind the 6827 and 68273 with a fraction of their vintage risk.
The discontinued steel 31 is the definition of a quiet chart: nothing dramatic, just steady absorption of fixed supply by a market that discovered midsize. Discontinued in 2018, no direct steel-smooth successor at this size.
It's the practical pick of the vintage-adjacent midsize market: modern enough for daily wear, discontinued enough to have a floor. The blue and silver dials dominate; rarer colors move first.
Our verdict: The low-risk midsize play. Same trend, modern build, still under original retail.
