    First Dip into vintage Enicar, found a good Deal but I could use some help from swarm knowledge.

    Top crown looks to be correct, though worn. Should be fairly easy to find the right replacement crown. 24hr hand has been refinished not particularly expertly. A replacement is, unfortunately, hard to find. I really like Guides. Have a few myself. Enjoy!

    Enicar mini dive ring

    They show up occasionally. Like everything else Enicar, parts have gotten scarce and expensive since Enicar became popular: blessed be the book and cursed be the book! Mini Dives can be sometimes found quite reasonably priced and you may have to find parts that way. The triangular pointer...

    No, they are not. I have a number of Guides myself.

    Calibre 1146 251 24hr wheel question

    When you hit "buy this part" it suggests buying a used movement and links to an ebay auction listing the wrong movement.

    Anyone know anything about this model 166-36-01??

    It is the last version of the Super Jet which came in a "pillow-case". There was a Super Dive version as well. Not my cup of tea as I prefer the earlier designs. Here's a few links to other sites that have similar watches...

    Size of the red sherpa guide ring

    Outer bezels for aqua-graphs and jet-graphs are very hard to find. Occasionally they turn up on ebay but they are usually in poor condition.

    Size of the red sherpa guide ring

    No, different size. Thanks for posting though as I'm back and had forgotten. I have two spare Guide pointer rings. Both are the later style with a "house" pointer and a "stepped" outer edge. I believe earlier pointers have a bevelled outer edge instead. When the retaining method changed, I...

    Sherpa Guide

    Red indicator rings for the Guide show up for sale from time to time. Watch the for sale forum here, eBay, and the facebook Enicar groups. There are two different pointer styles: early with a triangular pointer, and, later with a “house” pointer. There are also two different attachment...

    I’m not at home now or I would measure one for you. Here’s one for sale with a “measurement”: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203911187746 Caveat: I’m always suspicious of measurements that are exactly a whole number — seems wildly unlikely. There are at least two different designs of indicator...

    A question

    Cosmetically it looks to be in "good" condition with signs of use but not heavily worn. Near as I can tell from the low-res photos, the parts all match. $1800US would be about market value.
