NOS dials and hands for a number of Sherpa models have been popping up on eBay, but these sources and sellers don’t offer any continuity. This goes for all 3 GMT movements (AR1126, AR1146, AR166).

Sure, they go up and come down, but they never have hit rock bottom, nor have they reached ridiculous bubble-like heights. The Sherpa models have proven to be quite steady in terms of market prices.

The in-house made movements are reliable and easy to service (according to the watchmakers I consulted), the EPSA made cases are both stylish and solid and the designs of the chrono’s, GMT’s and divers are distinctive and timeless. By now, it seems like the vintage watch community has widely accepted this. STRENGTHS: Vintage Enicar watches are high quality timekeepers. What are the consequences for us vintage watch collectors?
