    Size of the red sherpa guide ring

    Outer bezels for aqua-graphs and jet-graphs are very hard to find. Occasionally they turn up on ebay but they are usually in poor condition.

    Size of the red sherpa guide ring

    No, different size. Thanks for posting though as I'm back and had forgotten. I have two spare Guide pointer rings. Both are the later style with a "house" pointer and a "stepped" outer edge. I believe earlier pointers have a bevelled outer edge instead. When the retaining method changed, I...

    Sherpa Guide

    Red indicator rings for the Guide show up for sale from time to time. Watch the for sale forum here, eBay, and the facebook Enicar groups. There are two different pointer styles: early with a triangular pointer, and, later with a “house” pointer. There are also two different attachment...

    Size of the red sherpa guide ring

    I’m not at home now or I would measure one for you. Here’s one for sale with a “measurement”: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203911187746 Caveat: I’m always suspicious of measurements that are exactly a whole number — seems wildly unlikely. There are at least two different designs of indicator...

    I'm in Canada so don't have any recommendations for watchmakers in the UK. There is this fine chap: https://www.vintageenicar.com/watch-servicing

    New member. Hi all

    No disputing the fact it works but it sure looks funny! Glad you got it off and found nothing but good news.

    A question

    Cosmetically it looks to be in "good" condition with signs of use but not heavily worn. Near as I can tell from the low-res photos, the parts all match. $1800US would be about market value.

    It has a gear and a toothed bezel: What goes wrong? The gear shaft can break, teeth break off the bezel, etc. The bezel itself does not lock. Tension against the bezel by the crystal holds it in place. Please be careful and make sure you bring it to a watchmaker experienced with...

    Searching for Aqua Graph replacement Bezel

    It can be very frustrating trying to track down obsolete parts for a long out of business watch. Hang in there! You will find the right one eventually.

    Searching for Aqua Graph replacement Bezel

    Is the difference how the bezel and the red indicator ring fit together? If so, you could just get the matching ring.

    WTB: Original strap or bracelet Super Divette

    You can get beads of rice bracelets in lots of different sizes. I have 22, 21, 20, 19, 18 and 17 mm on various watches in my collection. You need to measure, not go on matching looks.

    WTB: Original strap or bracelet Super Divette

    I just measured my Super Divette and Super Jet. Both are Mk 1s, have 18.5 mm between lugs, and take 18 mm straps. Mk 2s have different cases and may have be wider between the lugs. I do not have one I can measure. I also measured my Super Dive Mk 1s and they are 19.5 mm between lugs and...

    WTB: Original strap or bracelet Super Divette

    Or, you buy an inexpensive watch with one for a couple hundred, tops.

    WTB: Original strap or bracelet Super Divette

    An 18 mm Tropic strap would fit the bill. They are available used, NOS and re-popped. A simple ebay search brings up quite a few. If you would like a beads-of-rice bracelet, the best way is to buy a "humble" Enicar with one fitted. Usually much cheaper than buying the bracelet alone...

    Red ring 29 mm diameter

    The pointer ring for the 36 mm watches used to be somewhat available but supplies seem to have dried up lately. Hopefully someone will have a spare they are willing to sell.

    Enicar Sherpa Guide Bezel Removal

    Disregard, I thought it was a guide.

    Asking for Help

    I have found the Guide 33s to have a more varied spec than the "regular" Guides. Don't be too quick to think they need parts replaced to make them "original".

    Asking for Help

    Should you keep it? Of fricken course! Lovely watches. Beautiful on the wrist though perhaps dangerously distracting at times. My watchmaker had a stunned look on his face after overhauling my 126/001. Even better, yours is a bit worn so you can wear and enjoy it with no feeling of dread...

    Here's one in near NOS condition that is similar to yours: https://www.chrono24.ca/enicar/sherpa-guide-33-mk2-ref126001-7-63-world-time--id26282662.htm
