Identifying genuine Enicar watches, how to spot a fake Enicar

    As Enicar is considered a more entry-level Swiss watch brand, there are many counterfeits on the market. To prevent you from purchasing a fake Enicar, Watch Home will show you how to identify them!

Identifying modified watches by the surface and length of the hands

    In modified watches, the fit between the hands and the hour/minute wheel is often poor, which may result in indentations or scratches on the surface of the hands. In some cases, the hands may be an unreasonable length or the tips may be bent upwards.

Identifying modified watches by the dial and hands

    The style and specifications of the hands must match the dial. For example, if the dial has raised hour markers, the hour and minute hands cannot be excessively long; if the dial markings feature black lacquer, the hands must also feature black lacquer; and the luminescence

    on the dial and hands must be consistent. If the dial lacks luminescence, the hands should not have it either. If the hour markers are wide, the hands should also be wide; conversely, they should be narrow. The colour and dimensions of the markers and hands must be uniform. Additionally, check whether the distance between the hour hand and the dial, or the second hand and the watch crystal, is too close. In short, anything that does not adhere to standard watch assembly requirements and conventions may indicate a modified watch.

Identifying modified watches by the crown

    On some modified watches, the size of the crown is inconsistent with the case, lacks the appropriate logo, or features a mismatched logo, and the crown may protrude excessively.

Identifying modified watches by the dial and case

    Generally, gold-coloured cases are paired with gold-coloured sunray dials, while stainless steel cases use silver-white dials. For watches with a rotating bezel, the bezel usually matches the colour of the dial; this is just like dressing oneself—coordination is essential.

Identifying modified watches via the date window

    The characters on the date disc must not be damaged or have peeling paint. If the dial is flat, the date disc should also be flat; if the dial is curved, the date disc should be curved as well. The colour of the date disc must match the dial. I have even seen watches with a silver-white dial paired with a gold date disc; it is clear that the movement has been swapped, which is an immediate giveaway.
