I bought two Enicar watches, the stainless steel enicar ultrasonic 25 jewels incabloc for 75USD and the other one which I'm not sure if it's brass or gold-filled enicar ultrasonic 21 jewels for 62USD. Are they worth these prices or worth less or more? Also, the stainless steal one the gear for the ticking hand is worn out or something happened to it so the watch repair man removed the ticking hands but I still have the hand but I need to find the gear for it.


If anyone has any idea or knowledge about these two watches pls educate me .

Please can you confirm the movement reference number for the stainless Enicar and I'll see if I have the right part for you.

I will go to the watch repair man next week, I will let u know the movement number by then. Any opinion about the watches? are they good or bad picks or any information?

There are people far more knowledgeable than myself on this front but in my opinion (happy to be shot down in flames!) I would say that you have paid about market value for those 2 watches. I would say the stainless steel one is probably slightly more desirable than the other.

If you look between the lugs, you should spot the case’s gold status. Either plaque or filled. If the former, there should be a number indicating the amount of micron plating. Then latter should indicate the gold filled content.

As for the movement, my educated guess is you have a 1010. Easy to find parts for that caliber. eBay and other sources.

the stainless steel honestly among my watches stole my heart. It has the perfect size, look, twisted lugs, and thickness. I actually think the stainless steel if perfectly fixed the ticking hand problem, it can be worth more because I swear to god I'm pretty sure more expensive vintage watches than this are built and look way cheaper than the stainless steel enicar.

I assume it is gold-filled because I don't see any chipping and it's an old watch. Also, there is no number so does that mean it is gold-filled? If the movement is 1010 then that's great but how much for the ticking hand gear would cost? is it original or 3rd party?

The ticking hand gear is usually called the cannon pinion. It needs to be original.
Depending on the movement I may have one of these as I have quite a few spares.
