Enicar automatic help

[Jowi]

Hello there members
Been taking on a new project with restoring this watch, my father wore it when he tragically fell 7 m to his death.
This happened 3 month before I was born so it has been laying in a box for 45 years.
I have sent it to a skilled watchmaker for assesment and what cost to have it running again,seems dead when trying to wind it,nothing happens.
Could a watch like this survive a fall of 7 meters down a concrete floor,what would one suspect took the most damage?
Where could one find parts for this watch,its a sentimental journey and for sure will cost some money but if I can (or the watchmaker) make it run again it would mean much to me
Is there any good vintage part sites for enicar,I think the model is ar 167 c

These watches are not very expensive now so buy another one and use it as a parts watch. There should be a 1xx-xx-xx number on the back, if you have the back. Google "Enicar and the number" and you should be able to find another. Looks like you need the hands and a crystal at a minimum. Maybe some movement parts as well. Clean and service the rest.

Understand you and the story behind the watch.

Are you from Sweden?
It’s a Swedish day disc on it so that’s why I ask!

By the way, we don't offer any "automatic help" over here.

All our help is voluntary and typed manually . . . as far as I know.

It's possible though that some of the bots may be programmed to respond with something not overly helpful.
