: I love this watch. I love the shape and size of these cases. This
: one looks grand but it will be interesting to see if there are
: any takers at this staggering amount. I am sure that, in this
: condition, these are very scarce....but WOW on the price!

the high end of enicar is very thin/rare air indeed. . i do agree these watches are comparable and in many cases superior to 60s chronos of any manufacturer at multiples of the price (today) and the racing heritage is second to none. however, my experience is there are a few crazy fanatics and most collectors skip over these
i have seen pristine mk II and mk IIIs go for 8-10k easy. . same for mk IV. . there was a great black dial mk III with red lollipop hand that went for 15k all in i believe a year or so ago at auction. i bought the best all black mk II i've ever seen for 11k collector to collector within the past year. that said, there are lots of good not great aqua graphs and jet graphs and around that don't seem to sell and sherpas in mediocre condition seem to sit
as for the MK1s that GVM is talking about. . .there are so few that honestly pricing is anyone's guess. i've never gone there. . .and of course the actual watches that Jim Clark gave his f1 team . . that's like trying to price a Speedmaster that went to the moon in my book
there are great enicar resources here

and here
and GVM's site

i have a near perfect Rindt, a near perfect carrera 2447N, and a spectacular 3646 1st execution w/ 2nd ex hands. . .and i have to say the sherpa graphs hold up to any of these watches
but its a crazy few us enicar enthusiasts!
as for this watch. . no idea if they'll get that price. . if bought i don't know how on earth one would ever resell it. . . its too rich for my blood . . .for me a grail would be the real jim clark white version (i believe GVM has 3!)
