Couldn't afford a Rolex DateJust.............

Recommended Posts

So I picked up one of these instead :35107694750_51b0d483d7_b.jpg

 

Genuine Swiss 27j movement and in almost new condition.

Thank you fellas.

Hi russ. What's the width. Judging by your thumb about 32mm?

Rory,

 

I believe that it is 36mm, just like the date-just.

That's a real cracker Russ, I too have an affection for the Enicar brand though I don't own one just yet.

 

The condition looks superb.

 

Well done mate & enjoy it!

Maybe once you get your hands on it, we could have an Enicar thread, Reg?

 

I've got 3 of 'em now...................and the itch is starting to make it's presence felt.........................33601562880_fc9fed8294_b.jpg

If the various watch blogs/websites keep pushing Enicar like they're being paid for it then this'll be worth more than a DJ in a year or two mate...

 

Looks in very good condition - nice pick up :)

@RussP : I love the look of this watch, great find! I also "need" one, but I can't find a name or a reference of this particular model. Can you please help me out?

Oh, and that Bulova Super Seville you got...lovely, just lovely!

He might have.................I was merely quoting him.

Montre48 is the seller.

I see. This could be true, because I haven't seen this name mentioned anywhere else. I'm torn between this and the Bulova Super Seville...but this sort of thing happens all the time... :)

Having owned both, I'd get the Super Seville...........just my opinion.

In what way do you find the Super Seville better than the Enicar?

@RussP Would you say that the build quality is significantly better in Bulova Super Seville?

I almost got one yesterday, but some bastard beat me by 2€...

 

I don't understand people who bid like idiots 5 days before the auction is over anyway...or even hours..I always bid 10 seconds before it's over.

I agree with your bidding strategy, but it isn't always possible to be 'watching' every auction finish.

As for the choice.......the Bulova just seems slightly better 'put-together' overall, hence my choice.

Good luck with the next one that comes up on auction.

Russ.
