That’s really nice, love the classic Movado look and logo.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

Saw these a couple weeks ago. Wish under 43mm. 42 is my max. The details are quite nice.

Looks nice, but I’d rather have one of these for 4k.

Yup. I like the movado, but would pick the heuer if they're the same price.

Holy cow Alex, that is really something ! :o 8-)

One has to wonder where these types of watches have been all these
years too right?! I mean Movado makes some amazing watches which
have stood out in the crowd forever. But it would be just terrific if
they do this kind of thing more and more from now on I think. ;)

Some beyond cool news sir, thanks so very very much !!!

Really nice reissue of the 1960's Super Sub Sea 95-704-541 chrono (pre El Primero Datron). At MGI, we could buy watches at cost, so this one would have been a no brainer. However at $3,995 retail, I would rather spend that kind of money on another 1970 Datron Astronic. Sure do wish I had kept my vintage Movados...

Heuer did a much better job with the date placement.

Very nice. Between it and the Autavia I'd probably go with the Autavia, although one thing in Movado's favor is the dive bezel. I find that more useful than a 12 hour bezel.

That is a lovely piece.

I like how the lume has vintage near-tritium look to it, especially on the black. It contrasts well with the black accentuating that creamy look.

Nice piece.
