How do you open the back of a movado watch - Watches

I was told my a jeweler that Movado condiders that. Design defect and they don't produce or offer that rubber insert for sale.

Fake watches are and have been very prevalent. Take your watch to a watchmaker and ask him to open it. The outside may look like a Movado but the crooks rarely bother with the insides as most victims don't look inside. By the time the victim does, they have your money. There are some good fakes unfortunately and people get duped regularly. For those people that buy them knowing they're fake I have only one thing to say to you, "Fake people buy fake watches"

mcdevito75 here, You don"t really have to be an authorized Movado dealer or repair center to service Movado watches, specially if Movado doesn"t have a warrantee on that particular watch. Also you say the stem was hard to turn, sounds like this particular Movado watch mechanism was starting to fail. The long and short is, you replaced the battery, set the watch and all was well when the customer recieved the watch back also, a Quartz mechanism could give out at anytime, just as a light bulb can. Have the customer come back with the watch if possible, place a drop of oil on the stem, try a replacement battery. Always ley your customers know what you find, and get a history of the watch from the customer before work, Age of watch, how it"s worn and stored etc. this way your covering yourself for any watch liability. You can offer this customer the mentioned re- service or a refund just to keep the customer happy.

mcdevito75 here, This is condensation, the difference in air temperature inside and outside your Movado watch, no watch is air proof, Humid means water in the air, the higher the humidity the more water is in the air. As the humid air enters your Movado it cools thus leaveing water behind, very much like boiling water, we see the steam, but put a cover over it and we see water, the hot air hitting the cover cools and turns back to water. However in your Movado this is too much and over time your watch will become water logged and be no good, Best Bet, look for a small watch repair shop in your area and have them re-seal the crystal and back cover of your Movado watch, also chek if your watch is still under warrantee, if so the re-seal should be free.

mcdevito75 here, Movado a FINE watch, BEST BET, look for a small watch repair shop in your area to change the battery, Movado watches have a very good over all value and any damage can lessen that value, not to mention the jewelers screwdriver you"ll need to change that battery.

It probibly is a tri-fold clasp or a "hiding clasp" When you look at you watch can you see a clasp? If not you just need to pull from the middle if the back of the band. One end will open to the left another will open to the right. Don't be afraid to pull on it, that probibly is the main problem your having. Movado makes a solid band that can take some punishment
