Hi everyone.
I am about to buy an Enicar Sherpa Ultradive but found out while googling that there are some Frankenwatches of this model made in India. So I have some doubts about it now. I tried comparing other pictures of this watch with the one I am about to buy and they seem similar.

I'd appreciate some feedback here.

Thanks

The picture is out of focus/ low res so it is hard to fully assess the watch. The date wheel is far off center, so that could be an issue there. I am not sure how hard it is to find parts. The lume looks terrible, I am not sure what is going on there.

You are right, the image sucks. I asked the auction house to send more and clearer pictures. I will post them here once I have them.

The lume looks like it was intentionally removed.

I think there were stones mounted at the ends of the lume that were removed

I am not an expert, but that one looks wonky. Here are a couple for comparison. Note the inner bezel and the hands, among other things.

to me it looks like a legit UD case, not one from India. Backside pics would help. Though the inner scale is reprinted and the tension ring of the crystal is the one from a Sherpa OPS (black one instead of silver). dial looks rough, but can maybe be cleaned and then redialed. Has to be cheap 😉

edit: oh and its missing the outer steel tension ring for the plexi.
