Subject: MOVADO Wristwatch ... Real or Fake?
Reply | Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author

  Hello!  I recently purchased a "Movado" wristwatch for a very modest
price at an estate sale, and I was wondering if there are any telltale
ways to distinguish an authentic Movado watch from a potential knock-off
piece from a New York City street vendor.

  In particular, the men's watch I have resembles a Movado Portico, but
not exactly.  It features a metal, bracelet-style band with gold accents
and thirty-six diamonds within a gold ring around a Movado Museum-style
black face.  Printed at the bottom of the watch face is "SWISS MOVADO
QUARTZ" (without the quotation marks).

  The back of the watch is inscribed "MOVADO SINCE 1881" ... "SWISS MADE
176582" ... and "ALL STEEL * QUARTZ * WATER-RESISTANT" (again, without
any of the quotation marks).

  Thank you very much in advance for your time and consideration in
helping me determine whether this is a "real" Movado watch or some
low-quality, Chinese-made reproduction.  Any insights would be greatly
appreciated!

Take the watch to a reputable watchmaker and have him open the case and
look inside.  This will provide the answer.
