    Hi Guys

    Well , I dug this one up out of my collection for someone to see... well... might as well share it with everyone here...

    But I might as well give a little story with it....

    Here is the sellers photo...

    That was all the info I had to go on to make a buy decision. So after the auction... I talked with the seller.. It was his dad's watch. I asked him when did he go to Europe ? As I have not seen a example that was sold in North America. He told me he got it in Florida , I was taken back .... I said he bought it in Florida ? he said " No, It was given to him in Florida". He then went on to tell me he won it in a sales contest, he actually won two watches a gold dress watch ( which he sold ) and this one. Then the son told he was a sales guy for Movado and the entire story became much more clear.

    So what I got from him was what you see above, original inner and outer box Movado signed, Zenith steel buckle and Zenith signed booklet ( and open papers) that includes many of the El Primero models including the Pilot /Diver and moonphase.


    I later found a proper ladder bracelet , which I still have not yet put on the watch... the caseback has a few scratches that were polished down but other then that is a very clean example.

    Just wanted to give the watch a airing out before I lock her up, I wore this watch like 5 times.... augh...


    Good Hunting

    That has more meaning at this time than you're aware of. ;)

    So that's the way to handle it. Dibs with a PM offer. I'm a rookie. Look out boys, game's on.
