Notes:

è   Unfortunately, due to concern with the high levels of fraud, orders through Ebay that have non-matching shipping/billing address will be cancelled. 

è   Pictures detail the watch and box you will receive. At no additional charge, you will receive either a new or historically accurate Movado box/presentation case. 

è   Where possible, I have added links to increase the size of the band to fit a larger wrist.

è   No other accessories are included other than what is shown in photos. Please closely access photos for condition and message us with ANY QUESTIONS prior to purchase. 

è   The watch you purchase has been checked and monitored for a period of time before being listed and sold and rechecked before shipment. Once the watch is received and confirmed to be working properly, our responsibility ends, for obvious reasons we cannot issue a guarantee after purchase as we have no control as to what may happen to the watch once it leaves our possession.

Returns:

è  I WILL ACCEPT RETURNS UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS: Five (5) day return IF DEFECTIVE and returned in same condition as received. I am not a retail jeweler, I am a small ebay reseller who cannot afford to accept returns like a large retail chain. Therefore, I do not accept a return on items that do not meet your needs –fair warning, “ordered by mistake”, for example, is not a legitimate reason and will not be accepted, “the watch does not fit” is not an acceptable reason and requests for return will be denied -  every listing clearly give the wrist size that particular watch will fit under the current configuration. Please, know your wrist size, if the watch does not fit, there are resellers on Ebay that sell individual links, so please make sure the watch or other item(s) you purchase meet your needs and expectations before you make the purchase. Please note: watches returned for any reason other than a misrepresentation in the listing are subject up to a 25% restocking fee.

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. and Greenfield, WI.

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. 

Ebay uses the term “refurbished”, I prefer “reconditioned”, may just be a matter of semantics to some but there is an important difference to me. What we do is take a used watch,  and check the movement for any deficiencies or abnormalities, add a new battery to the watch, then rehab the exterior to remove as many scratches as we can without damaging the finish of the watch or in the case of a leather band, either rehab or replace the band with a genuine Movado band. Add new authentic Movado Presentation/Storage boxes and where necessary (such as with chronograph watches) include a Movado Owners Manual which details/describes how to use the chronograph functions. What you receive is as close to a new watch as possible at approximately 25% of the original price.
