Whereas the 7A38-724A possibly falls into the 'less desirable variant' category (I personally find that relatively scarce model quite attractive), the next one, by comparison is quite popular, because of its larger 43mm Ø size. However it was a particularly poor example and grossly over-priced for the condition.
This rather well-worn, brown coated 7A38-6020, fitted with a lizard strap, was first listed by appropriately named US eBay seller
patinawatchstore back in late March last year. Or at least that’s when it first came up in my eBay search results, because the seller had managed to cock up the model number in their listing title.
They originally listed it on eBay with a ludicrous 'pie-in-the-sky' Buy-it-Now price of $455.55.

In fact, I'd seen it listed elsewhere, well before I spotted that erroneous eBay listing. Starting at the end of March last year and continuing for several months, they had also regularly listed it on the Dutch auction site Catawiki, like this:

Usually, like the above, it was a low-start (1 Euro) 5-day auction, but always with an evidently over-ambitious reserve price set. It never once met the reserve price and IIRC, the highest it was ever bid to, in April last year, was 247 Euros. The lowest price it ever achieved was a mere 100 Euros at the end of June. Here's a screenshot of a subsequent post from
the 7A38-6020 SAA043J thread.

That didn't stop them re-listing it on eBay, with even more ridiculous asking prices, such as $559.99 in December.

They subsequently ended that re-listing on January 18th, because of an error - presumably in the pricing.

They re-listed it again, immediately, with the Buy-it-Now price reduced to 'only' $399.99. By this time, I was so sick to death of the sight of it, I couldn't be bothered to comment on it in the old forum's model thread, nor even take a screen print. I just simply added it to my eBay watching page, expecting it to be there for a while longer. Much to my surprise, it appears to have sold 2 days ago, for that reduced Buy-it-Now price of $399.99.

So it may have taken him over 10 months, but persistence certainly appears to have paid off in the end, for the seller. As for the buyer, I can't think what possessed them to pay $400 for that - I suspect they're going to be disappointed.
Must have been brain fade - and certainly lack of due diligence.
It's only barely legible in the set of newer photos. 
Since eBay started actively deleting completed / ended listings after 60 days, it's now virtually impossible to back-track the full history of any item that's been re-listed multiple times.
