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.
I loved the bracelet from its look , haven’t tried yet as the watch didn’t arrived yet. The seller last minute asked me if was ok replacing the same by a new leather strap and I refused as I like the way it looks. Now very Happy to hear that are very confortable
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
finally the watch arrived..... one week waiting for. The bracelet is Expandro ref. 5116
the watch is in NOS conditions almost, very happy with it. I'll make some nice pictures once I have a chance
thanks to all of you for the advice :O)
have a great day

Oh, and if you don’t intend to dismantle the watch and have the case ultrasonically cleaned, a trick I use for “dry cleaning” on non-water proof cases is to use naphtha (lighter fluid) on a paper towel and my fingernail running around the bezels, case back, etc to get the gunk off. It evaporates almost immediately, leaves no residue and is safe on acrylic- all the art conservators I know keep a gallon jug on hand all the time.
You can also use a toothbrush with the naphtha to loosen all the funk and wipe off with a naphtha damp paper towel.
you can see on the picture the difference on the Plexiglas , the smaller Movado has original Plexiglas I guess and the visibility of the dial is better specially on the calendar -days of the month. I wish to have the small Movado with Breguet numerals but with 36mm like the other one, it's a killer! IMO
