The Sherpa Graphs A record sale for this Sherpa Graph Mk Ia: it fetched 22k Euro at auction (fees included). I use Euro in my estimates and I also use a bandwidth. Condition is graded in three categories: Very good – mint, average – good and poor – fair. These represent the most popular Enicar models and the ones I get asked about frequently. Some Enicars I saw on Chrono24 three years ago are still there, unsold. As always, I defined five categories. Remember: an asking price is not the same as a sales price. My overview is an independent take on prices I’ve seen through auctions, eBay, resellers, Instagram, fairs and my fellow collectors. I have probably wrote it before: I am not the final word in Enicar prices. The original Enicar versions were already gaining momentum and I have seen asking prices going up since Sherpa Watches has announced their new releases. I have dedicated a post on the re-editions here. This new brand is bringing the iconic Ultradive and OPS back to market.
#Vintage enicar watches professional
Enicar is still not among the usual suspects, but I do see many more professional watch resellers offering the brand to their customers.Ī nice surprise for Enicar fans that were hoping for a revival of some keystone models came from Germany with the launch of Sherpa Watches. The second print of the Enicar book is almost sold out. For what it’s worth, my Instagram account has gained almost 30% in followers in twelve months time and I see a lot of vintage watch enthusiasts dipping their toes into the Enicar pond. Over the last year, I have noticed a broader interest in Enicar watches and the brand story. Of course we are talking vintage watches on this website, but I firmly believe that lower and pricier stocks of watches in general also push the value of the vintage classics upwards. The pandemic has disturbed the supply chain heavily in 2021 and even some of the big brands had to postpone releases of new models. Rising prices for luxury watches is also caused by scarcity of parts. No one wants to loose money on a savings account and that is, at least in Europe, the current situation. What has changed? Well, the urge more and more people feel to spend money on assets like classic cars, exclusives wine and whiskeys, art, precious metals, hollow cryptos and… watches.
It has been almost 16 months since my last overview of Enicar trading prices.
