fijikid Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 OK, while I'm not big on brown nosing, I do owe something to this forum for helping me find my first rep. I know the Daytona freaks are always looking for V72 movements and I'm sure you've all seen this, but here's a link anyway. Certainly not cheap, but playing the vintage Daytona game well just isn't. enicar sherpagraph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movement is unfortunately housed in a very rare vintage Enicar. The collector of such a watch would be aghast at the thought of harvesting it's organs for a rep. Aghast I tells ya!!!

Guest avitt Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 That watch is too nice to sacrafice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 This (the watch on my wrist, not the one in the book) got its innards from a mint condition ENICAR SHERPA GRAPH VALJOUX 72 that cost me $1,200 several months ago (sorry Avitt). And on a more positive note........... This will soon be re-appearing in future wrist shot days. And, yes, V72-powered watches are, with a rare exception or 2, now routinely selling for between $1k and $2k. I predict that as more V72-powered frankens make their way onto ebay, the value of these movements may soon double or triple. So if you think it is expensive to construct a Franken-tona now........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
