Considering first Enicar purchase - Gerhard Mitter - Authentication Help
- Thread starter ajs5153

Bump. I think I found an issue. Hoping the experts can weight in. The reference 072-01-02 on the caseback may be wrong for the Gerhard Mitter? It seems most Gerhard Mitter's are either 072-01-01 or 072-01-03. The only evidence of 072-01-02 I can find is this picture below from what I believe is an Enicar brochure. So maybe the dial got changed on this one?
072 01 02 : brushed case
072 01 03 : polished case
072 01 03 : polished case
Don’t want to start a controversy, but the only Enicar watch Mitter used is the 072/02/01 (Sherpa Graph MK IV).

Neither of the last two posts is particularly helpful.
Can one or both of you point to an image of Mitter wearing any Enicar watch where the detail is sufficient to identify the watch?
I'm not trying to start a controversy either. I am genuinely interested in learning about what support there is for either reference.

Not Gerhard Mitter himself, but his son:
Here we go.
And I just want to erase this naming from the Enicar world in regards to the 072/01/02 etc.. It’s the same as with the pre-Sherpa graph. And you need to start somewhere.
Sorry when this is annoying, but the steady drop…
PS: you all find these pics on Enicar101

Now that's what I call helpful!
If there are any photos of Mitter wearing the "barrel" case style watch, let's see one or two.

Though watch cases can be distinct, they almost always fit into one of these seven categories.

there is none. The connections comes from an old ad, promoting the C-shape Chronograph and showing Mitter at the same time. But not on his wrist or else But this is why the watch was wrongly named "Mitter" in the past.

I somehow missed it.
I looked right next to where the Sherpa Graph Mark Id would be, but there was nothing to see.
I know it is "coming soon" though . . .
I ran into similar confusion on a Mitter dial before—fonts can be inconsistent, even among pieces from the same period. I found a few comparisons on bestrolexfactory.com that helped me sort out dial details and logo spacing. Their vintage section isn’t huge but has some clear caseback and dial shots that made it easier to spot redials or odd fonts. Worth a quick look for side-by-side visuals.
