Introduction Thread

Take care. It s all too easy to fall over the precipice

My wife is very tolerant and supportive of my watch obsessions. I think if I introduce cars or motorcycles to the mix, everything might come down like a house of cards.

Hi All,
I’m Gary. I followed Steve here from TZ-UK (not that he knows it). Long time fan of Enicar watches, particularly the Sherpa Guides, although I know very little about them. Which is partly my reason for being here, to learn a little more. So very happy to have found another resource dedicated to the brand. My contribution to the photo gallery is a Mk 2 Guide.

Welcome to the forum. Great looking Guide you have there.

Welcome to the forum. Great looking Guide you have there.

Thank you both for the welcome and the kind words about my Guide.

OT but MGs are well supported. In fact there is better parts availability now than when they were new. Still, if you want a turn key, reliable convertible it's hard to beat a Miata.

On topic, I just got my Sherpa Guide 33 back from servicing. A previous repair had seen the winding stem threaded to a smaller size but happily my repair chap was able to order a new one.

That's absolutely gorgeous. Love the paddle hands on this MK.

Looking fantastic is that a new dial and hands , they look very clean and crisp.

It was a lucky/risky find from a new ebay-er with very poor photography skills. Only changed parts were the winding stem and one crown.

Lucky indeed, very clean all round, wear in good health.

Hi all, found my way here after Steve pointed me in this direction from TZ as I asked if he knew of a nice Sherpa Jet and Super-compressor servicing recommendations. Just bought my second 36mm Super Compressor watch, but my first Enicar, a Sherpa Jet, which I have been looking for on and off for what feels like many years.

I got this, I think around 1970 Mk II, via a WTB post on TZ, but hoping other members here will be able to share more info...

A quick pic of my Jet, as it would be rude not to share

Cheers, Andy

 

[jbcollier]

Love Jets and that is a beautiful example.

 

[SteveHarris]

Great example Andy. Love it. A similar condition one sold for nearly £4k recently (albeit a full set): https://omegaforums.net/threads/enicar-sherpa-jet-mark-ii-148-35-02-time-capsule-set.115746

Blimey, whilst mine is watch head only, that link has prompted a sharp intake of breath! If there is any interest in seeing more of my watch, I will start a new post.

 

[SteveHarris]

It was a crazy price but totally NOS to be fair.

I don't think any of us would say no to some more pics though

Hi, I’m new to the Enicar world but knowing how impulsive I am will probably end up neck deep! I’m a lover of vintage design with anything architecture, cars(mainly Alfas), furniture, watches, art etc.

Glad to see such a great forum and community around Enicar watches. Time to start burning the hours reading all the thread!
Here is my Ocean Pearl of which I know nothing about!

 

[Stephanerunge]

Very nice piece, I think @Hugger69 had a similar one. But can be a little different???

 

[Nick]

Hey im Nick, new to vintage watches but loving it!

I recently came across Enicar and picked up this Sherpa Guide 600 GMT which I absolutely love!!!

Incidentally I’m looking for the original beads of rice bracelet and an original replacement outer bezel and red pointer.

 

[mc1]

Nick, wat's the lug width on your watch ? I've got a spare gen enicar 18mm beads or rice

 

[jbcollier]

Guides are 22mm between the lugs.
