I also just bought an Ultra Dive and paid considerably more than that. Congrats to you!

Nice watch. Not sure when they first started using "SuperTest" as opposed to "Super".

The special bezels and rings are getting increasingly harder to find. I buy what I can when I can and hope it will be useful later.

There are Aqua-Graph red indicator rings on ebay, both the triangle and house pointer styles. This ring also fits the Sherpa Dive watches.

Let me know how the service goes. I have not had any luck with watchmakers up here -- quite the opposite actually. I now happily send all my time pieces to Meticulous in Victoria. Excellent work but someone a little closer would nice.

I don't think they sold many because I have never seen two of a kind.

PS: I'm also in Alberta, in Edmonton to be specific.

Be tough to find exactly your watch on the web. Birks versions are rare. Here are a few other Birks Enicars from this forum: http://enicarforums.com/index.php?threads/birks-jet-graph-at-antiquorum.912/ http://enicarforums.com/index.php?threads/speaking-of-birks-by-enicar.305/post-2124...

You can easily polish your existing crystal.

The Guide red pointer rings with triangle pointers are very hard to come by. The last two I did, I had to buy other watches for the parts.

Most conterfitted? Baloney. There's the lads and lasses in India pumping out "new" Enicars but they are pretty obvious (lots on ebay). There's also a few OPS, Ultra-Dives and Super-Dives fakes about but they are pretty half-hearted affairs. Much more common are watches made up of a mix of...

Benvenuto

Interesting. I haven't seen it before myself. Interessante. Non l'avevo mai visto prima.

A higher resolution photo might help.

I vaguely remember this is either a dealer's or a distributor's mark. I want to say South American but I may be misremembering.

We seek out the watches/cars/etc from our youth. Things new we couldn't afford then but can now. What a watch is worth changes as the collecting population ages. To me your Day/Date does not resonate. But, I'm older and only a decade or so, assuming I even get there, from when I'll start...

Absolutely. Enicar and Variation seem to go hand in hand.

Yup, legit. From the period where they were getting desperate and hoped making "cheaper" Rolexes would save them. While they are excellent watches, it didn't work. As for collectors, they tend not to value Rolex look-a-likes as they prefer getting the real thing. Enicar's tool watches...

If you think it is dumb to buy an $$$ mechanical watch over the $ quartz alternative, then, you're right! Don't do it. If, however, you value precision mechanical devices made with craftsmanship and care, then...
