Since according to table 1 the part with the no. 251 is listed for all AR 1146 and AR 166 and according to table 2 the same part no. 251 is listed for the AR 1126, I believe that part no. 251 should fit all Enicar GMT movements. In my collection I have an original box where the imprint “251 Cal...

Sorrry to say, but you are wrong. Here are photos of my very similar watch, which has a normal screw back. Also a picture of the special Enicar 140/004 aS (all stainless steel & central second hand) from a catalog. No reference to letter B (which means Seapearl case with Bayonet). Based on this...

At least on your photo I can't see any irregularity.

"V" marks this special case / snap-in bottom regards

I was able to acquire a NOS case some time ago. Should be rebuilt at some time..... regards Alois

Ref. 125/006 & 145/006: thin crowns Ref. 144 35 02: thick crowns (as 144 (165) 35 03 Ultra Dive) regards Alois

According to the catalogue, it's not a Tropic:
