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. 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, when possible, replace the band with a genuine Movado band. Reconditioned does not mean the use of substitute parts or “off-brand” replacements. If new parts are needed such as a new crystal, hands, dial or movement, unless otherwise stated, we use only genuine Movado replacement parts. 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% - 33% of the original retail price. One Additional (Unfortunate) Advisory I apologize that I find it necessary to even discuss this. As previously mentioned, buyers are paying approximately one-third of the retail price for my reconditioned watches. There is a trade-off, reconditioned does not suggest or infer “brand-new”. As such, if you are looking for imperfections you will probably find them, especially under a jeweler’s loop. I do my best to describe the condition of each watch I sell and provide at least a dozen photos (not stock photos, not someone else’s photos, not photos from a similar watch I have previously sold). Now, why do I find it necessary to include this extra advisory in my listings – especially when there are enough written conditions to make a sane lawyer quite insane. Why? because 99% of the return requests (which, by the way, represent less than .05% of the watches I have sold) received are not for misrepresentation in the listings but for non-existent claims and/or an individual looking for “perfect”. For those who fall in that last category, let me save us both some time and money – these are not perfect watches. If you want perfect I suggest you pay the additional money and purchase a brand new watch from a retail outlet. If you want “mechanically sound and aesthetically pleasing” at approximately one-third of the retail cost, then you have come to the right place and I thank you for your business, I honestly do appreciate it.

Wow! The watch was listed as pre-owned, but when I received the watch, it was more like-new, better than described. This seller is one of the best sellers on eBay, selling Movado watches in amazing condition, for a fraction of the price. After making the purchase, I was able to track the shipping within 12 hours. I received the watch from the east coast to the west coast only 4 days after purchase. The watch came in an original Movado box , despite the watch being used. Seller is amazing!

Amazing packaging with the extra touches that make you realize this is someone who cares about what they are selling, and doing on E Bay.!! A+++ Seller. I bought a Movado from this seller previously, & forgot just how amazing the communication is, the packaging and product was. Will buy again.. Thanks Don.!
