Don't you have someone like KC in your country? my understanding from KC is that the Diamond Blacks have to be purchased by a local arcade distributor in Japan which KC has access to and in quality of four. That's is why as far as I know, there are only 4 Diamond Black in USA. I have two and two others members have one each.
 
Not that I am aware of, maybe other Aussie members know someone like that but I have no idea.

I think there is one that I know of but never asked if they have vewlix.
 
I feel that the Black Diamond will end up being the rarest of the Vewlix family.
As SNK mentioned I don't know of any other imports of this machine to USA other than KC.

Its rarity is further compounded by the fact arcade operators are not buying them.
As no arcade game officially uses this cab style, and it comes with zero IO's (JAMMA/JVS/FAST) or PSU (JVS).

Love the colors as well, looks really sharp with that two player Vewlix L panel.
I don't wana steal my buddys thunder, but as he never posts his awesome toys...

Be aware that normally the Vewlix Diamond series (Blue&White/Black/MagDead) hasn't got a illuminated move-strip or marquee.
My friend added these pieces himself, officially these are not designed to fit into the Diamond style (aka requires modification).

Remember when we bought the new Taito LCD which I can see blur, then Taito discontinued that monitor? the monitor on these black, I can not see blur and it seems faster than the Sanwa on the FC, if Taito were to discontinue that monitor then this cab will really be rare.. the thing is that on the metal frame you will not find a sticker to know what monitor it is or if it has been changed on new Diamond Black cabs since Taito is no longer putting the model or make. To me the LCD monitor is what makes this cab rare.

Ah but remember at any time Taito could decide to release a even better/more improved LCD.
No what makes the Black Diamond rare is the complete body.

Personally I would love to have the entire line/family of Vewlix cabs (including the Vs and that Darius monster).
Unfortunately the reality is I'm going to be forced to choose because I just don't have that much space/money to spare (I think I'm doing OK with the Capcom/Diamond and soon L-AMI).
