    Hi All,

    I need to raise some funds and will reluctantly have to let this one go. In great condition for its age, running very well and all working as it should. All original with some minor signs of wear that I've tried to capture in the pictures below. Both bezels working as they should and city names on the bezel are all nice and clear unlike a lot of others of this model.

    There's a great article for the Guides here: https://thespringbar.com/blogs/guide...2-crown-models and here: https://enicar.wpcomstaging.com/2017...ves-more-love/

    Size is 44mm without the crown. I've got a 7.25 inch wrist and it sits very nicely on that without looking overly large. Dial is quite large which helps I think.

    It has an EPSA stainless steel super compressor case. The Enicar Sherpa Guide is a actually a pilot watch and a diver watch in one. The model was originally targeted at pilots of commercial airlines, like Swissair, Japan Airlines and S.A.S but the EPSA case, dome crystal and fat crowns, give it all the characteristics of a dive watch. Super compressor watches typically have a depth rating of 600 ft but as it's vintage I wouldn't suggest testing that unless you decide to get the seals checked!

    The issue with these guides is that they were generally very, very well used and it's unusual to see one in such good condition such as this. As with other Enicar models in good condition, values are on the rise, so a good investment if that's your thing.

    Looking for GBP1,650 and includes insured delivery within the EU. Happy to split cost with the buyer outside of the EU. Payment via bank transfer please.

    Some feedback on here but lots over at TZ-UK.

    Any questions, please drop me a PM.

    Many Thanks,

    Steve
