Trying to learn about the A386

Hi all,

I haven't found many resources about that model. I'd love to learn more about it. How many watches were produced, what the different versions were, dials, hands, etc.

I don't see them coming up for sale often, I am guessing they're still pretty rare (not 2998-2 rare but at least 2998 rare?).

Looking forward to what you can share.

Erik

A386 are not extremely rare as 2500 were produced (estimate) but it is each more difficult to find one in nice and original condition.
Among mark1, 2 and 3 the mark1 is the rarest (400-500 pieces made?)
The easiest way to identify different variations is the case and the caseback (serial number) with a lot of caution as there are a lot of frankens.
Also service parts are very common (wrong crown, hands, dial, tachymeter...)
:)
