    Before posting pics first a "thank you" to all on this forum for the knowledge and passion being shared.
    A special thanks to LouS for his endless patience reviewing with me the various options that came up whilst I was hunting for this specific model.

    Arrived today, case number 231E081.
    I love it when things in real life look even better than the pictures suggest...

    :)

    What a classic beauty! The only thing wrong with that watch....is that it's not mine. Congrats.

    She looks a good 'un, esp the case.

    I wonder how much of the recent apparent spike in demand for A 386s is due to this forum?

    Probably more than "familiar" for you :) .
    Wearing it with great joy, hope it'll get company pretty soon...
