I have a mk3 sherpa graph. 18mm straps are a tad small for this model too
Hej!
Thanks for letting me in. I do live in the South of Denmark, and have been collecting wristwatches for almost 20 years, mainly 60ies era Swiss. Specialty Nivada, but I also do own a few Enicar. This one even made it into "the book", although I am to this day not certain that the dial is really genuine (though it really looks very good in close-up, at least not the usual "Mumbay print"). Reason being it is the only black dial edition of the Sherpa Date 33, which I have ever seen.

Hi !
I am new to this forum and the depth of Enicar's world.
Been for 2-3 years seriously in the watch hobby to try and curate my personal collection.
Every steps of my life I've been trying to acquire new pieces (including micro brands) which I do not consider part of my collection as they have immense sentimental values.
On top of that I do auction to curate said collection exclusively with vintage pieces, focusing on the 60s-80s era. I always try to find 'special' watches with patina that fits my criteria or rare specifications.
The watch that get the most love and probably won´t go anywhere anytime soon is an IWC R811 Blue dial that I acquired 2 years ago (it has that Genta inspiration that I love!).
As part of previous experiences with various hobby and limited funds, I am trying this time, to aim for the long run. Considering the prices of vintage watches and my local legislation, I am trying to open up a company for it to make more sense and hopefully help me curate my collection even better.
What I appreciate about vintage is the historical meaning behind the watches and the patina which makes some pieces unique. I like my watches alive, therefor I am fairly against the new materials introduced in this modern era which do not age (Ceramic).
We can also relate how strong, helpful and knowledgeable communities/people are in regard to vintage watches.
On top of collecting watches I also try to gather books which are an amazing additional source of knowledge on top of what you can find on the internet.
Happy to be part of this forum, I hope to contribute I my way!
Many thanks for the help already provided.
Cheers,
