    Don’t know... maybe with picture on focus it could be more easy to see those enormous pushers.
    Hands are a386 ones with tritium, could have good value.
    You need hands and pushers but if the case is good (impossible to say with these pictures) it could be a good deal

    Means that the GF bracelet dates to the first quarter of 1969
    With the 707Dxxx Serial number this isn´t a very early EP.

    I pulled the trigger on this one. The prices have been getting crazy recently with GF ladder bracelets with ZKM links selling for +$2200 alone. I knew I wanted to act sooner rather than later and the box/papers/crown was enough to push me into this one, even with the poor quality pics and rough descriptive translation. I'll sell the A386 hands (let me know if anybody is interested) to fund the purchase of proper hands and pushers. I am actually have a harder time tracking down proper pushers. If anybody has a lead please let me know. I'll share higher quality pics when it's received.

    I suspect that you Made a good deal! Share some pics with us even if you get the watch. Hands are quite easy to find, I will ask for the pushers to a friend of mine, If they are avaible I will let you know with MP

    Fortune favours the brave. Will require some TLC and time down the spa. I reckon you done well with this one.

    I wasn’t able to originally see this pic in the listing but as soon as I got it he added it (or maybe my phone/browser/etc wasn’t letting me view)

    Nice box but not one commonly accepted as belonging to A386

    ::facepalm1::The hands on the watch threw me into the typo. Same applies for A384 also.

    Congrats! I think this was a great purchase especially from a value perspective. I was thinking of pulling the trigger myself. Pushers may be incorrect but the crown appears to be original and they are much tougher to source.

    Any thoughts on keeping the hands on the watch? They do work rather well, and the lume colour matches the hour indices pretty close.

    If it was me I would replace them with an original vintage tritium set for the A384.

    Congrats!
    It's interesting to see that people list rare watches without any reference numbers.
    My eBay alerts (A385,386 etc) had no clue about this model.

    How should they know. It’s not visible on the dial ;) Do you know the reference code of your car?

    Nice catch, congrats!

    Maybe indeed there are sellers who have no interest in finding out what they are selling. I actually know the VIN code of my project car :)
