Your watch is legit, its just not a vintage Enicar. The Cal 3168 is a still used Calibre in the Hong Kong Enicar watches from today. Case also seems to be the same as yours
Found this the other day. Enjoy :)
And a matching KINOSHITA fake

And another, even bigger scam:
I was surprised too and this could explain the many strange / wrong dials out there (these, that are “genuine vintage fakes” and not made by an Indian foot...
I would try to buy a bezel first. There are different shapes for the red rings to fit into the bezel. Like an L step, a / shape and at least for the Jet Graph there is also one with a groove for another spring. Someone should write about it one day... :D
Hey guys,
I am selling this 40mm Enicar Sherpa Super Jet. Its an early GMT Model from 10/64 and with the thin crowns. Its used, but in honest nice condition. Everything works as it should, but service history is unknown.
I'd like to have 2.100€ for it. Watch is located in Germany, worldwide...
Hey Yannik, first congrats on the buy. I personally thought it was a bit over the price, where it is worth (moneywise) to invest more. Original bezels, if they appear, are 700€plus. Red rings a third of it, when you find a matching one. Its still a good project and of course its worth to save...
Good Luck with this :) Last time I was offered one, it was six figures in Euro currency :) Most of the watches are still in the possession of the original mechanics or their families.

Hey Zach,
you can still find them, since GS build them. Just google GS PA 482 for Enicar Chronographer (yes, no spelling error on my side :D ).
Most of the times they are a bit to wide and I need to polish down.
Cheers Nico
Hey Achim, thats not the correct story ;) Delon himself auctioned his watches in 2012, except for the ULTRADIVE (not Super Dive :) ). His son Anthony got the watch years before Alain passed away in 2024 and still wears it.
Best Nico
