For sale an Enicar Sherpa Graph in amazing vintage condition. This unusual white dial Sherpa Graph must have spend a long time of its life in a drawer as its condition shows little of its life since production in approx. 1968. It pains me to let it go, but other horological priorities await.

Fun fact; this exact colour variant is depicted in the great Enicar Time for a Change book.

Please find an assessment of the watch below. I have attempted to be as brutally honest as can be. Also note that I am certainly not the first owner of this watch...

Dial: Crisp, white dial in immaculate condition. The three shiny pie pans add a lot of depth to the dial, as does the applied Enicar globe logo. Under certain conditions, the pie pans show a very faint spotting, which is absolutely invisible in most lights. I have attempted to make this visible in the images below. Other than this, the dial shows absolutely no signs of age.
The tritium lume, which of course does no longer glow, is a little blotchy. I've seen this before, but whether it is original, I really dare not say.

Hands: I believe these to be the original hands.

Case: This is arguably the nicest, most defined, fat Sherpa Graph case I've seen with very sharp edges and chamfers intact. The very characteristic lugs are in very good condition, with only one minor mark on the top of the lower right lug. Caseback and medallion are in perfect order.

Movement and Serial: Valjoux 72, which was supposedly serviced when I obtained it through a reputable vintage dealer years ago. I might still have the receipt, currently looking for that still.
Runs smoothly with all functions working properly. I do recommend a service after purchase as the watch is running a little fast.

Crown: Likely original Enicar signed compressor crown.

Strap: It came to me with a matching Tropic strap which I have not used.

Set: Watch head + Tropic strap only.

Can be shipped worldwide, although I would strongly prefer a F2F deal in the Netherlands given the value of this piece and the added benefit of meeting a fellow OF-member in person.

No returns, please ask questions and extra pictures in advance. I am not making a habit out of selling, but I do have some - exclusively positive - references as a seller and buyer on this forum and could share more.

Price: now further reduced to EUR 5800 (fixed, net to me and excluding shipping)
On to the pictures…

Lastly, next to its siblings shown in Time for a Change:

 

Just like in the pictures, but better!

 

Forgot to mention; I’m open to trades against vintage Speedmasters or Datejusts. Let me know what you’ve got!

 

New watch arriving soon... I need the space in the watch box, so up she goes!

 

Big arrival coming, so this piece regretfully needs to leave soon. Feel free to make me an offer!

 

Arrival time is approaching…

Who’d like to sport this amazing Sherpa Graph? Drop me a note.

 

And up she goes. It’s successor has made an appearance into my collection, so this lovely piece needs to go…

 

Price reduced. Let’s find this piece a new home!

 

Up she goes. And in good fashion (following @MtV 's lead); did you know that, on average, there are 178 sesame seeds on a McDonalds BigMac bun?

 

Another fun McDonalds fact; did you know that McDo in Hong Kong offers a variety of wedding packages? The deluxe package, which costs around $1,200, includes a two-hour rental of a decorated McDonald’s location, 50 invitations, McDonald’s gifts for 50 guests, and much more?

As to this beautiful watch; make me an offer! Trade suggestions against a vintage Speedmaster or Datejust will be entertained too.

 

Fun fact; did you know that 1968 didn't just mark the production of this watch, but the first Big Mac as well? I do know which one I find more attractive.

 

Someone requested a lume shot, which is now available on request.
As expected from a vintage piece, the tritium lume fades within a minute after exposure to intense UV light.

 

Still here... Don't you agree that this beautifully red hand and (snow) white dial would complement a Christmas outfit perfectly?

 

Price reduced.

Get yourself or a loved one a perfect Christmas present (admittedly, it might be a bit late for that, but hey... Good things come to those that wait! )

Happy Holidays, everyone!

 

Completely against my own principles; priced sell at 6k EUR (excluding shipping, net to me). This is well below what I paid for it, but hey, when a grail Speedmaster becomes available, a sacrifice is justified. Help me land one of my favourite Speedies!

 

Three words that I never thought I’d hear in the same sentence are : “fun” “McDonalds” and “fact”

And as if weddings themselves aren’t horrific enough, without one at McDonalds!
What a truly ghastly concept!

 

2024 is treating us to a little bit of actual sunlight. A rarity these days... So, here's a few new pictures to show just how nice this watch is.

 

This sale will be hurting anyway, so here's one final reduction. If this watch at such a bargain price doesn't win you over... I am not sure what will.

 

This is starting to become incredible… And I might as well keep it. It matches a friends’ 911 from the about same year pretty well.
