Some issues with this watch:

3. The crown will not stay in the setting position and needs to be held out while setting the time
4. The original chronograph minute hand has been replaced with a straight hand
5. The case screw is missing

Weekend bump.

Over the last week the movement has gained 90 seconds dial up.

Open to offers.

Really nice. I love those vintage movados. I think you you deserve a hand for going into detail about every issue even if it’s minor. Many sellers seem to brush those things a side. I guess I shouldn’t say many but I’ve had it happen more than once. The few watches I’ve sold I’ve done the same thing or at least let them know when I’m contacted, I don’t wait for them to ask.

Thank you for your kind words @Walrus, very much appreciate it 👍

I've been disappointed in the past with a seller's optimistic description, so I don't want anyone to feel that I've misrepresented something I sell.

I should note the case needs a good cleaning but I'm not too confident in uncasing a chrono movement.

The lugs also have service numbers on them, which I think is interesting. The watchmaker didn't want to write on the inside of the case back, so chose to write on the lugs.

Before I knew better, I ruined a few fountain pens over the years with aggressive cleaning.

A case screw holds the movement against the inside of the case. You can see it in this picture (a different M90 watch) circled in red:

I sold a couple of watches so I'm going to reduce this Movado by 5% to $2470 CAD ($1920 USD) shipped. If it's still too high I'm open to offers.

I've added a NOS Bonklip style C+W ladder bamboo type bracelet to this Movado. I'm still open to offers.

An uncommon Movado column wheel chronograph from the 1940s priced under market value and still open to offers.

I was asked for a dial pic. While I had the movement out of the case I cleaned the case so it's not dirty anymore.

SOLD through my blog. Thank you Omega Forums for hosting and thank you to the OF community for stopping by to look.
