Thoughts about 2 enicars

[Sam1995]

Hi Everyone,

I stumbled upon 2 enicars which im considering to buy im not that much of an Enicar expert so im looking to find some advice here. One of both is a Seapearl 600 sherpa with EPSA Super compressor case.
Both are not running and crying for a good service. The 600 is in rough shape in my opinion.
Especially the 600 im interested in but wondering if its possible to find parts for this watch like original straps, crystal and maybe other parts.
Also, what would you guys think is a fair value for the 600 in current state.

Then the second watch is in better shape but also wondering what you guys think about this one.

Thank you guys a lot already,

Sam

Hi Sam,
I think both aren't Bad. I got a few of These badboys.
Crystals can bei found on eBay and the Rest is in place (you should get a Tropic strap). Price is difficult, the White one maybe 150-200€ and the seapearl 600 maybe 700-800€ roughly
Cheers,
Matthias

Hi Mattias, thank you for replying so fast. This information is helping me a lot. So what would you say about the seapearl value after being serviced, new crystal, original strap and maybe a little polished.

By the way, the ref says 100/61, what year is this actually referring to, is there more information about the ref?

The Production date is inside the caseback- I think 2 /55 (February 1955). The 100/61 refers to the Cal 1010 and 61 is the product number.

Perfect, thank you for replying. Does one of you guys maybe have tips for opening an enicar case. Next week im going to check a seapearl 600 and want to open the case to see the A.R. marks.

If you don’t have some type of original Enicar tool be careful and use a special soft ball for case opening!
Remember that on a SuperCompressor you just need like a quarter turn to pop it open!
DON’T use ordinary case openers cause if you really don’t know extremely well how to handle that you could end up with scratching the lid badly!

It’s more like a wee bit over an 1/8 of a turn.
