grandpa don’s mostly movados Make/Model/Serial Number: Movado Men's Classic Museum 2-Toned Gold Plate & Stainless Steel Watch/Model #: 81.G1.1897/Serial #: 54553XX Description: This is an outstanding example of a Movado Classic Museum Watch - a stunning timepiece that is sure to catch the eye of any watch collector. Model #81.G1.1897, this two-toned 18k gold plate over stainless steel beauty was crafted in Switzerland, it features a Swiss quartz movement and a sapphire crystal that provides excellent clarity and durability. The case is made of high-quality crystal material that adds to its elegant and sophisticated design. The elegant yet simplistic black dial has two gold hands and the iconic Movado “Rising Sun” gold dot at 12 o’clock. This watch is perfect for everyday wear and this evening’s soiree. The Movado brand is known for its exceptional quality and attention to detail, making this wristwatch a must-have for any watch enthusiast. A new battery was installed in July 2025 which should provide years of trouble free service for the new owner. This package included two authentic Movado Presentation/Storage boxes. And don’t forget, Christmas is just around the corner, this would make a perfect gift for that perfect, or not so perfect, individual on your shopping list… GrandPa Don's Rating: 4+ This watch is in excellent condition. Mechanical sound and Aesthetically Pleasing - this would make the perfect gift for yourself or that perfect man in your life...however, I have marked it down from a 5 to a 4+ for the following reasons: slight wear marks on the caseback and the lack of additional links for the bracelet.

Rating System: Keep in mind, light scratching is indicative to stainless steel – and can even be seen on a new watch when using a jeweler’s loop. If you are looking for it, you will see it. Using a jeweler’s loop and using the naked eye give two completely different visualizations. Refurbished watches are not perfect – but should look exceptionally pleasing to the naked eye – thus the rating system that I use: è A Rating of Three (3): some scratching will be visible to the naked eye. For example, deep scratches on the caseback are usually caused by an individual attempting to change a battery without the proper tools or experience. Although lightened through reconditioning, excising these completely could compromise the integrity of the case. è A Rating of Four (4): light scratching on the band and/or caseback may be visible to the new owner but most likely not to others. A condition just slightly below a four plus. è A Rating of Four-Plus (4+): minimal light scratching, if any, on the band or caseback may be present but likely not seen to the naked eye. Watches given this rating have been very lightly used and/or taken very good care by the previous owner. Could easily pass as a new watch. è A Rating of Five (5): The watch is either brand new and never been worn or lightly used but reconditioned with excellent results – any defects and/or scratches have been removed. Please Note: Although any distinction between a new watch and a reconditioned watch with a 5 rating is difficult to discern by the naked eye, we will always indicate if a five is a new or a reconditioned watch. Rest assured, I will never sell you a reconditioned watch as a new, unworn watch. About Us: Grandpa Don has been in business since 2001and has periodically sold refurbished watches on Ebay since that time. I have more than 25 years experience working on Movado watches and still handle the beautification and refurbishing of the watch you purchase – although I am now a Great GrandPa and do leave the intricate movement work to an expert Movado watch repair business located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. My primary mission has always been the satisfaction of my customers – many of which are repeat especially during the holiday season. I pride myself on honesty and integrity – when you purchase a Movado watch, or any other brand for that matter from GrandPa Don’s, you are guaranteed to receive a genuine brand watch and not a foreign knockoff. The condition number assigned to your new watch is, to the best of my ability, an indication of the present condition of the watch you will receive.
