Hello to all :O)

I love vintage Movados and I have the chance to get this one, not very cheap but price is reasonable . Do you think that the dial is original or redial ? I really appreciate your help. thanks, David

 

Thanks , hope more people give some comments as I’m a bit under pressure: buy or not to .... as I have another guy waiting for and don’t want to loose it

 

Looks fine – no evidence that I can see of it being a redial.

 

Thanks Tony

 

The bracelet could be a Gay Freres?

 

I’m sharing some pictures of the bracelet, see the part that is attached to the watch case, not very usual for me. What are your thoughts?
There is any data base if Gay Freres bracelet pictures? Otherwise we could build one. Thanks

 

Looks ok to me. I think the bracelet may be a Kiefer-Cadman Expandro.

 

I just find out from internet that it is GF bracelet
)

See that picture

 

No, read that caption again, this is not the photo of the GF bracelet. It's an Expandro as I said.

 

Still the watch is not in my hands but look what I read at hodinkee
Historical Perspectives: Gay Frères, Much More Than A Simple Manufacturer Of Watch Bracelets

And here an add from GF , it looks like ? Don’t you think so? I have no idea about GF

 

I suppose so, maybe GF put their name on a bracelet like that, although that bracelet is generically called an Expandro and was sold under the "Expandro" name and several brand names, including Kiefer-Cadman, Henry & Cie, etc. Most likely it's not branded by GF, but even if it is, it doesn't add much value. If you put it on eBay it wouldn't bring $50 IMO. So just value the watch without the bracelet.

The more desirable GF bracelets are generally the "original" bracelets they made for specific watch brands and models (Eterna, Zenith, etc.).

 

Dan S, you are right . Now I saw the pictures of Expandro and the inner end links look like the one on the Movado. Thanks for your input

 

Looks like you've cleared up the bracelet. The watch is original and in good shape

Looks to me to be the slightly less seen 36mm version of Movado's triple calendars.

Similar seen here with a slightly outrageous asking price: https://www.timetitans.com/products...s-steel-oversized-rare-original-two-tone-dial

 

thanks for sharing the link of a similar watch, mine looks much better :O)

 

Love those Movados. Nice catch!!

 

looking forward to receive it :O) so excited

 

Very nice. Looks totally legit. What’s the ref number?

 

Ref. 14806

 

FYI, don’t be quick to dismiss an Expandro bracelet- I have 3 of these and they are one of the most comfortable bracelets made, have an ingenious link system to add/remove links (no tools required-all about finnesse and not brute force), and are the only stretchy bracelet aside of my zodiac rivet stretchy that I will wear.
Highly underrated and undervalued.
