After a few months of following Enicars on line and reading "the book" I have a few questions.
On early Enicars with EPSA cases, quite a lot of the watches I have seen have case back codes starting with 100/XXX. Would that mean that there should be a 100X movement in that watch? Would a watch with a 1010 movement also have a code starting with 100 or 101?
In the later watches with the shark/dolphin and Saturn on the case back, how concerned should I be if it is a watch with date (thus with an AR 141, 145, 161 or 165 movement) but the case back code starts with for example 140. Could that be the original case back or has someone put in whatever case back they have had available (and possibly done all sorts of dreadful things to the poor watch)?
I guess there has to some degree of method in the madness of the rest of the case back code numbers. Is one of the numbers just a model number? Does the other number mean anything else (for example finish on the case or something)? Have you more knowledgeable Enicar lovers seen a pattern here?
Is "T ENICAR SWISS T" a valid printing on genuine Enicars? I have seen this on a few watches on line.
