Hi Guys!

Did a fast purchase on an auction without a gameplay....🤦
So no homework done, and not a clue...

So what the fudge will I receive in a box??
Seller claimed its from the 50-60:s...
And it's working...
I like the case, and the clean look!
Attaching pictures..

Help....🍿

Looks nice. It appears to be from the Ultrasonic line, although not labeled as such on the dial. It will have a modified A Schild movement, IIRC. Decent quality, but unlike the Sherpa models, these have not become very collectible, IMO.

I agree its a good looking 3 hander.

Impulse purchases can be best watch in the collection but
It could end up being a complete bitsa/fake.
Note both statements can be true

As long as you can live with impulse expense then hey - you do you!!!

You can't make a mistake for $100....

Good entry level watches. One can often find these for cheap sometimes aound 60USD. Parts are available. Easy to work on.

The strap looks nice. Possibly some sort of synthetic with those side holes. I like the embossed AR logo.

If my metalurgist friend John was correct these could last 500 years if mantained. Good workhorse everyday watch that was produced high numbers.

Didn't find this the first time around, but there is a decent Enicar thread hosted here also.
