So I’ve got an A386 which I never wear but love because of the history there, and the race for the first auto chronograph. I’ve often wanted an ideal example of a 6138 to go with it and I’m thinking the 6138-8020 is probably the one I’m after with the panda dial and elegant modern design.
Judging by Bill’s dad’s 6138 they look like they hold up relatively well, and I haven’t heard of the movement being an unreliable / difficult to supply parts for mess like the Heuer Chronomatic. Are there any significant issues these watches have, anything to look for in particular originality or replacement parts wise, and what’s the pricing to expect on a 6138-8020?
Added a couple of example photos since these things are remarkably pretty on bracelet.
