·On the last pics the bezel seems actually too polished
...and a new Connie in the crosshairs

·Yeah, the seller is either lying or clueless. Disregard his comments either way.
If it was fully correct and mint, this would be a €4.500 watch for me. However the drop off with that uneven degraded dial, wrong crown and overpolished bezel is such, that I don't fancy the watch anymore. Not even for half value.

·Only a question on my mind.
If is not a delux, what is that/? There are gold dial Still not delux dial?
You think is not made of gold? What could be? Fake dial/gold filled dial (if exist?)

·De Luxe denotes a model that has a regular model (be it steel, capped or solid gold cased) and a "De Luxe" execution.
The regulars, like the one you posted here have metal dial (I believe made from brass) and have a painted or plated dial front. The De Luxe are made of solid gold. But make no mistake, they have a (clear) lacquer coating that can degrade.

·Any excuse for you isn't it? 🙄
😁
But back to the OP's watch.. it has a badly polished case front with a definition-less bezel and quite a shabby looking dial which judging from the missing 'i' in Swiss Made has either seen some water damage or been subjected to a semi-successful cleaning attempt. Either way for me it is a big 'Pass'

··ΩF InvestiGatorYou have to be careful with dials. I don’t think this Movado has a gold dial.
I have two watches where the dial looks like solid gold, but I’ve been told by the factory that it is not.
Both have 18K cases.
All that glitters is not gold!
