    to find three decent A386 on eBay. I wonder what the realistic value is for one these days.

    (Neither is mine)

    First one is not decent. It is one of the xxxD460 forgeries.

    Hi,
    there allready is a very nice thread here called "Updated values ..." about valuation started by @jhross98 on Jul 24, 2017.
    Also @LouS started a thread called "Of A386 casebacks and Forgeries" on Feb 4, 2013 with huge Information. The watch on top of your pic was discussed last week and identitfied as "frankened".
    IMO value depends on originality of the "package" and condition. None of the three shown above would meet my requirements :(
    Best

    Not frankened. Forged, because given a serial number that never existed (at least for A386s) and because these were obviously done en masse with intent to deceive. Different, in my opinion than a single watch with some substituted parts.
