Diceman Posted November 17, 2007 Report Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) I need all vj72 experts. Its very similiar to a vj23 visually which makes it hard for me to determine. Which 72 series is it? Do you think it will fit into dw's 72 case. Because that will it's destination. I've read a little on chuck's review on these, but would like some more specs on this particular one. dice Edited November 17, 2007 by Diceman
alligoat Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 You need to look under the balance wheel where it should be stamped. Yes it is a v72 or variant thereof. And the v23 is basically the same watch, but a bi-compax (two sub-dials) as opposed to the v72 which is tri-compax. Maybe you could get a shot form the other end of the movement, looking under the balance wheel. Of course, you know that the R symbol means Valjoux, right?
Diceman Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Posted November 18, 2007 No I did not know that R symbol stood for valjoux. This is currently on ebay right now. You may want to take a few minutes and look at the description of the watch. This seller has nice feedback score but I'm always cautious. I will never stop praising you for your feedback as this is a time sentive matter. http://cgi.ebay.com/Big-60s-ENICAR-SHERPA-...1QQcmdZViewItem
Diceman Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Posted November 18, 2007 oops. the link is faulty. anyway u can just type in valjoux 72 and it will bring it up on ebay.
klingsor Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) oops. the link is faulty. anyway u can just type in valjoux 72 and it will bring it up on ebay. i suggest to search a val 726 ...it's one of the last version...and it could be modded by an expert watchmaker to seems more similar to a 727 or a 723..... the choice is your M Edited November 18, 2007 by klingsor
alligoat Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 Well, the watch is good. I would assume that it's a v72B which is the most common. The other pics were no help. The seller is fine, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him. Enicar Sherpas are collected on their own merits, so the price could end up in the $900-1100 range- even with the pushers needing repair- which is fairly simple.
Diceman Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Posted November 18, 2007 So I'm guessing this can be implanted into dw 72 case with little to no hassle.
freddy333 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 So I'm guessing this can be implanted into dw 72 case with little to no hassle. Implanted, yes. With little or no hassle, sometimes yes & sometimes no.
manuel Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 hey diceman, didnt know about this thread till now. and yes it is 726R Better to use a eterna than a enicar sherpa. The sherpa is much appreciated by spanish watch collectors.
