comment How to 'calibrate' simple pricing models for equity index options and equity options?
@TalFishman: The (historic) 'fair' bid/ask values differ from the (historic) actually "firm" quotes - in terms of price. For now, I am not concerned WHY there is a difference between the theoretical value and the "firm quotes" (I'll leave the academics to worry about the WHY). Regarding your last question - you may have misinterpreted my question. I have no views (one way or the other) on the historical data. All I want to do at this stage, is to be able to compute the 'missing' fair value bid/ask prices for strikes which don't have this data, using the inputs I outlined in my question.

comment How would I value a perpetual bond with an embedded option?
I agree with this answer intuitively - although I must admit that I don't exactly understand your answer. My understanding of your answer is that the instrument should be valued as a perpetual bond (with an embedded option) and recorded at Notional value $X (is my understanding correct?). If yes, then it seems that the instrument I described is really, a callable "perpetual" bond?. It is still not clear to me how to price the instrument - could you please be more explicit?. Its been a while since I did any FM/pricing stuff so please bear with me being slow ..
