    Hi Guys,

    There's a potentially unique Movado M90 coming up for auction on Nov 10 and would like to get some thoughts as to the originality of the dial and hands. Movado had a lot of unique designs which makes it difficult to pin down a true original watch.

    A couple things:
    Dial: Logo seems correct but I've never seen green lettering.
    Second hand: White squared seconds hand. I've only seen this on sports watches from the 70s and this one is from the 50s.
    Running seconds and minute counter hand: Both look to have been trimmed. Possibly trimmed to fit a different watch and then brought to this one?

    After typing this out I think I know the conclusion but any input on this or just the Movado market, in general, would be great.

    Imho that one screams redial directly in your face.
    What a sloppy printing...

    One giveaway that it is a redial, is it says Swiss Made at the bottom of the dial. Older Movado's (pre 50's I believe) had Switzerland on the bottom of the dial not Swiss Made.
