Hi Dan,

welcome to the 185 IHC !! It's nice to have another member from down under. Big Grin

Regarding your questions about Enicar wristwatches, I think these may be sold more in your hemisphere than here. To the best of my knowledge they're not currently real collectors items.

Enicar appears to be one of the low/medium priced brands which never really seemed to take off. I do know they made a couple of nice Swiss made models in the 1950's,a triple date moonphase and a chronograph. The more modern versions seem to be coming now from Singapore & China.

Regarding the repair or replacement of the bracelet for the watch you show, I think this
could be a problem since it looks like the bracelet is an integrated part of the watch. If it's simply the clasp portion that's broken you may be able to get it fixed at a jewelers/watch repair in your area.

Here's a link to an article about Enicar watches when they were in their heyday.
