We seek out the watches/cars/etc from our youth. Things new we couldn't afford then but can now. What a watch is worth changes as the collecting population ages. To me your Day/Date does not resonate. But, I'm older and only a decade or so, assuming I even get there, from when I'll start...

Absolutely. Enicar and Variation seem to go hand in hand.

Yup, legit. From the period where they were getting desperate and hoped making "cheaper" Rolexes would save them. While they are excellent watches, it didn't work. As for collectors, they tend not to value Rolex look-a-likes as they prefer getting the real thing. Enicar's tool watches...

If you think it is dumb to buy an $$$ mechanical watch over the $ quartz alternative, then, you're right! Don't do it. If, however, you value precision mechanical devices made with craftsmanship and care, then...

Excellent. Glad to hear it will be saved and cherished. I collect Enicar women's tool watches myself.

Generally speaking there is not much collector interest in women's watches. The value would be in the jewels and precious metals. Good watch though.

Classifying Enicar watches is a tricky business as so many variations exist, and were created when they were repaired with what parts were to hand. I would myself say there are three versions based on the dials used (painted, applied, and double ring logos). There are also other dial...

South-east Asia's heat, humidity and sweat are very hard on watches -- and lots of other things. Enicar sold a lot of tool watches there but almost all had very hard lives and have been repaired and cosmetically patched over and over again.

More photos, please. It would be useful to see the crowns, crown guard and back. It has the later style of hands (not tuning fork) and a raised, applied logo rather than the earlier dial with a graphic logo (later dials yet had a Saturn with two rings).

Impressive? My friends and family call it "alarming and disturbing"! ;-)

I will admit to, possibly, having one more Guide than is strictly necessary...

Where in the US are you? Hopefully someone will be able to recommend a skilled watchmaker close to where you are. I’m in Canada. I searched long and hard for a good watchmaker and shed quite a few tears along the way. One even lost a Jet 33 of mine and years later still hasn’t found it. I...

I’m also enamoured with the Enicar tool watches of the 50s, 60s and early 70s. My first Enicar is the doppelgänger of your Healthways. I still am floored by its bold design and beautiful details (cross-hatch crown, compressor case-back, turtle lugs). Simply storing it behind glass is...

Welcome! We’d all love to see photos of your Enicars!
