Hi all,
I've been collecting and trading in vintage watches for a while and I've always wanted an early Enicar Sherpa Dive.
The opportunity came up very recently for me to purchase one which is in very poor condition and needs a full restoration. I'm either very brave or very stupid, so I decided to buy it and now I have quite the project on my hands.
Any information about the watch would be greatly appreciated as I'm no expert on Sherpas.
Also, if anyone has/knows where I could get a bezel, crown, crystal, etc, that would be a real help.
And I have concerns about the movement. The dial clearly states 21 jewels, however the rotor states only 17. Was this is a dodgy marketing trick by Enicar or has my movement been swapped at some point? The current movement is an AR1034.
Any help at all in relation to the watch would be amazing! Photos below.
