Thanks, Mike. It would be fantastic to learn more about this watch.

Since I posted this image a few hours ago, we have learned of another Enicar Sherpa Graph, with the exact same inscription, sold off by another Lotus mechanic, in November 2008. This suggests that, rather than taking the watch off his wrist and giving it to Scammell, Clark might have ordered a batch of them, as gifts for the crew. That's still some nice provenance!!

Let's see what we can learn about this one!!
