Watch is correct (except subdial hands) and incredibly rare, but the dial condition is poor. Really a pity. |

Would like to see better pics but that would only confirm the poor condition I am afraid. Very rare watch but condition is everything and finding a good dial could be your life’s work.... |

It is a shame that the dial is shot, very cool to see this watch surface. To my understanding isn't there a moon phase version 801? That I would assume is just as rare if not rarer? I wonder how many 786 and 801s were made? And how many survived today |

the best answer (based on info available now...) is: few and fewer... |

801's and 786's are IMO equally rare , the 801 maybe a bit rarer (both less than a handful of known pieces) what does the caseback look like on this one ? edit: I just did a quick scan through google pics , there might be a few more 801's than 786's pics ? , I did recognize that some of the 786 cases were restamped with 801 , so maybe that is why there are a few more 801's than 786's |

Do you guys see the value of the 786 and 801 increasing in value in the near future? Are these good investments I wonder? |

Are these good investments I wonder? if they are in good condition , yes , but it depends largely on the price you pay right now , if you pay 10K - 12K for a 786 I doubt you will see a price increase within lets say 4 - 5 years (but my crystal ball is foggy at the moment so dont pin me down on this !) and good condition to me is : -: no damaged dial -: all original parts , no reprinted dials -: patina on dial is ok , damage is not -: case wear marks is OK , worn out is not OK |
