I bought a super flat Enicar Sea Pearl in Singapore many years ago.
Some time later I was "courting" a beautiful young lady named Mary Anne.
She noticed my watch one night and mentioned the fact that it was beautiful and simple and just classic and she loved it.
(obviously had great taste as most womens watches at the time were about 20mm in diameter).
With no ulterior motive in mind
, I gave it to her and said she could wear it as long as she liked.
Shortly thereafter, my employer (the Navy) decided that I was no longer needed and shipped me back to my home port for discharge.
The process was so fast (unusual for the Navy) that I never had time to say goodbye to my sweetheart, or even my buddies. So I never had the chance to get my watch back (and I don't think I would have asked for it anyway).
So somewhere there is a lovely lady looking at a 1960s Enicar and wondering "Where the hell did I get that............... it is beautiful though".
Ahhhhh........... nostalgia.
She was one helluva a girl back then.
