You have a 19038 which is 35mm. If I measure mine - from the outside - the dial is 30mm(ish). The dial advertised is 28.9mm and I think that is too small

Yup, 19038. Thank you for the insight. The quest continues....

Worth posting my 19008. Unfortunately it had to go for another piece.

Possibly unique. Well I have 500+ of them on file and indeed: no other. IMHO this is a redial.... https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-movado-for-tiffany-amp-co-a-possibly-6478621/

Unfortunately, I don't have any great news: if it's a "gilt" (here actually silvered) dial, it's genuine, if the print is silver on black (i.e. raised) it's almost certainly a fake. If you set the maximum magnification on the Christies page, it looks very "raised" to me. Greetings - HU

I forgot: In my experience, it is rather rare for "like new" dials to be combined with rather worn movements...

Well besides that: it is a fantasy design and the print is completely off

This one is beautiful, too bad it had to go!

This is a strange one. Basically legit but 108k serial is a first. Normally 105k is the accepted high end. https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/movado-193-c-a3b4eb58c9

Here - again - my Movado M90 Chronograph (which I bought in 1995 not because of the Norwegian military engraving on the caseback, but because I was interested in the movement). There's nothing special about the watch, except that every time I googled for another M90 showing the words "Adj. 2 two Pos." on the chrono bridge, nothing like this could be found. So I thought I might ask here if anyone knows something about it.

Regards - HU

Just sold by a German dealer. It must have happened pretty quickly...

No, unfortunately not. The watch had already been sold when I saw it.

This was an interesting one: https://www.ebay.nl/itm/355755228573 Ref 19009. I have reasons to believe it may be a legit Cartier. However the lug inscription looks a bit too fresh. Also the dial is probably redone

I would not believe that for a second. But that might be only me. Nothing feels right.

Part of it is legit ;-)

Also legit this 9005 with very nice dial, which sold for EUR 6.500 excl 30% fee: https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/an-18-ct-gold-movado-chronometer-1bb43bba32

Lot of money especially since a comparable one is for sale for less money (about EUR 7.350): https://www.vanrijkestatejewellers....-chronograph?contact_posted=true#contact_form

I made a frequency table from my database. Fully convinced that there are references which do exist but which I don't have. Please help me out!

Great compilation. Are these only for he 4-5 digit references of these models? What about the 8 digit references (mine for e.g. is 95-704-568).
