This bad enicar101 guy, when is he finally completing the mk1d page? ;)

What makes it an MK1 is the Ref number, 1308 BaNCH. After that, we got the 072/001 Reference which leads to the MKII "classification". Please keep in mind, the Classification is just a virtual construct by collectors and was never told so by Enicar themself.

Hey Migs, any specific wishes? Dial color, MK1a to d, any preferences? Or do you just want an early Graph that have paddle hands :D Best Nico

Besides the supply there is another problem. There are at least two different ones, with different inner shapes to fit the outer bezel. These red rings in general are real headache :D But best of luck, looks like a great prestine watch. Nico

No, its clearly on your caseback: 126/001. 126 or 146 referes to the movement, the Cal.1126 or 1146 (which came later). 33 is correct and refers to the amount of jewels in the movement. you see the corresponding "33 Jewells" on the rotor of the movement. MK II ...maybe :D I dunno of any good...

here you go, Reference 126/001, (case) build in July 1963. Movement looks nice and clean!

I think you got some pretty good help at the facebook groups. Can you share the backside of the watch? The reference number that you can find there can give us information about the age. When you open it, with some luck there is a mark inside the caseback with a date as well. I would say around...

@SteveHarris do you have a case opener left? Steve would be the men to go to in this case. Good luck.

Besides the new Crystal, you need a correct dial, a correct inner bezel and I am not sure if this is really a Jet Case or a Guide one. Anyhow, these are known as "Indian" Frankens some time ago. Sorry for beeing the messenger.

...and then I allready have the serial ;)

I cant see a pic with the serial. Could you ask for one, and I check in my database if I find old pics of the watch. Thanks, Nico

Regarding the mainspring your Watchmaker should know best. If not, I have some originals laying around. Regarding the crystal: NOS or original only. Unfortunately these crystals have specific dimensions, especially on the inside where the inner bezel rotates. I am not aware of a Sternkreuz or GS...

I would love to see a pic! Good luck with the restoration, its worth it!

thats cool, thanks for sharing :D

I suggest you delete your personal data here ;) Next time, use the PM function. Thanks

Thanks for you fast reply. Was the difference to the Submariner that big? I recall a double as expensive price, could that be? I wrote some blog posts with the topic of the Sherpa Dive / Divette. Maybe its interesting for you as well: Review of the Dive in a German diving magazine from 1961...

Hey Mondo, thanks for your great story. Do you remember, why you have chosen the Enicar over other watches? Also, why did you bought the 36mm instead of 40mm watch. Was it taste of time? Happy to learn more from you :) Best Nico

technically, this is over 2K€ :D But yes, I couldnt remember the exact number. Thanks for clarifying that.

The Bezel is correct for a later Divette, starting from around late 1959. Sherpa Steward btw is even rarer then the shown Divette. And more pricy :D I think the last went for over 2K a few months ago.

here is another one, but you have allready seen this pic ;) Noticable is the aluminium bezel with the lume dots at 3 / 6 / 9 which is also correct.
