    On the last pics the bezel seems actually too polished

    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?)

    I agree. And that’s well know by me.but this one appear to be gold made (ar at least gold “filled “). Or I’ve wrong impression?

    What makes you think this one is gold made? I see a white-ish dial with gold dial furniture.

    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.

    Yup.

    Like Cato the Elder ended everything with the conclusion that Crthago ought to be destroyed, I finish everything off with a pic of my gold De Luxe :D

    You have to be careful with dials. I don’t think this Movado has a gold dial.

    [​IMG]

    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!
