Hi all, Just won this vintage Movado on eBay for around 200 bucks (my first vintage Movado). Wanted to get some opinions on this watch. Photos were pretty limited unfortunately, but to my eye the case looks virtually unpolished and extremely sharp, and (underneath the scratched crystal) the dial looks original and patina looks fairly even. Crown appears original. Definitely planning to polish up or replace the crystal, but any thoughts?? Really appreciate input!
It looks like someone didn’t wear their Christmas present very much. I’m not sure about the price, but a cool looking watch. Lotsa radium though, which isn’t really my thing
Looks pretty nice. Taubert case w/ original crown as noted. I guess the sweep hand could be ok, but assuming the dial is lumed, then the original h/m hands were also presumably lumed. Smallish, I assume.
Per description case is 36mm. Will have to see hands in person because you’re right I guess they would’ve been lumed hands to go with the dial. (Although I find it hard to believe somebody would’ve just replaced the hands without polishing the case at all? Just given how sharp it still looks). But overall for 200 bucks with a new crystal and strap I think it’ll be a solid watch!
Looking forward to see more pictures when you get it in hand. Mine says hello, former property of Ann
Judging by the crown compared to the rest of the proportions it definitely looks like it’s in the order of 32mm or smaller
