![[Identify] Movado Zenith Museum](https://i.imgur.com/vHqCUTh.png){kind=link}
The number on the reverse is: 20 0520 355
I was able to use this to determine that the movement is a Zenith 1740 and the watch originated from some time between 1972 and 1978.
I’d appreciate a price check on this, as I’ve found a massive price range on Movado Zenith Museum watches, ranging from $100 to $1000.
Looks like you’ve already done more research on this than anyone here probably will. It’s not necessarily an enthusiast brand
Hmm, okay. Do you have any suggestions on how I could narrow down its value? The range I’ve seen is just too big.
Narrow it down? Well the expensive ones are solid gold. Yours is tarnished. Gold doesn’t tarnish so I would guess yours is on the lower side of the scale
I assume that’s the base metal showing through, as it’s only gold electroplated, which wears off super easily.
I wouldn’t expect more than like $20 tbh.
So low due to condition? To clarify, it does run, although I’ve not confirmed how well it keeps time.
Sorry, I did you dirty by pulling that number out of my ass. I haven’t found anything to really go on, all the listings I see for similar watches are for the solid gold ones, or quartz ones. I see a few listings for just the movement on eBay for anywhere from $60 to $120, so I could possibly see the full watch going for a couple hundred to the right person. $200 may be pushing it given the condition and unknown status of the movement in terms of servicing.
Gotchya. I guess when I list it, I’ll do it as a bid and set the minimum to something like $100.
Thanks.
