Here's my only super compressor, it's an enicar Sherpa jet 33 as mentioned by others above. It's about a 40mm case and wears beautifully, very comfortable.

Awesome!

These are my two Super-Compressor. As much as I like my Enicar, the Tissot is my hidden favourite 😀 And you get this Omega related watch for around 500€. I know a guy who is selling one, if you are interested, I can connect you.

Very kind of you. I have a c case constellation and that's enough for me. Don't need another c type of case =)

The key with compressors is the larger size in 38-42mm. The 36mm flavor imo is underwhelming.

Gonna disagree here. The 36mm IMO is the better size. It wears well on both smaller and larger wrists. My pick is the Wittnauer. I had a really good one that I sold to a friend. Now working on restoring this one -

Yeah I'm pretty set on looking for a witty one. It's within my budget too.

Yeah I saw this on theo and Harris and it was going for 1650 usd.... Not sure if it's a good price though
There are plenty on eBay for a third of that, browse and pick the best one.

If you like the look, but are not overly concerned about the mechanics of pressure sealing cases, then some of the Magrette watches might be worth a look - in particular the Regattare models http://www.magrette.com/the-timepieces.php

My modest collection includes the Dual Time - same idea, different inner bezel 😉

I will be selling this one once it returns from service, but I think at your budget you'll be looking at a vintage 36mm or one of the newer Longines Legend Divers - both of which are very cool options!

Just an FYI anyone here looking into this one the caseback on this is for a lld 7150 not a 7042. How do I know you ask? Nibbled the bait saw the hook swam away to live another day!

Good to know, and I am not chasing that watch, but if that is the only flaw (and yes I see the hands, and who knows what else is at issue), based on recent sales and asking prices for 7042's Vesper's seems to be solidly in the ball park and probably at the low end of the range. Another online dealer is asking almost twice that for his.

HI everyone...

Personally I love the Super Compressor case design.... I have some in Single crown Super Compressors at about 36 mm in diameter and the more common Dual crown in 36 , 39 and 42 mm....... I have to say the 36 mm size is quite nice and I have a 8 inch wrist....


'You really cant go wrong with these as long as the inner bezel rotates... and crystal is not total basket case...


Good Hunting

Bill
