    Curious, is there reference number or model number (it is not A386) or anything?

    "40801" (note quotes)
    The cool thing is, if you make up a watch, you can give it whatever reference you want!

    Apparently I am the only guy on Earth to prefer the classic - and well known - versions! :)

    Thanks Lou for joining this thread. I saw the pic John posted on IG yesterday and I took out my Manfred Rößler Book to investigate. What I clearly saw is one of the rarest EP John joined on IG with us.
    I can see an original „HA“‘dial that matches the year 1969 , I can see a correct hand set and disribution inner Tachy bezel with the correct „C“ and also see a absolute fine hand set on the one pic of the OP. At this stage of due diligences I would go then into inside techical issues that are not available here.
    I have no doubt from what I have seen that the watch is 100 % matchting with the very few others out there.
    IMO the by @LouS named Guys should give a detailed opinion on originality of this watch or what in their opinion doesn‘t match.

    As stated above, I just looked at the op website where he present the watch as a put together. I was thinking he did it itself so no reason to not believe him... but it seems to be more complicated so no idea on my side ..
