Okay, I'll try this again; I sure would like to have a "preview" button! Here's a big Enicar Sherpa Star auto, wearing it today for a change.

Nice watch band, too. It is hard to find the bands that work with the wire lugs.

Strap I got of somebody who sells them new on eBay, not cheap, but good quality. The watch itself, french I think, and styling with the 'military style' numbers would suggest first world War period, but to be honest, dunno!
