Hello, I scored this Movado at a thrift store in Calif while I was on vacation for the past two weeks. :) The watch looks very simple, just has "Movado Automatic" on dial. The movement eads "Movado Factories 17 jewels, adj 2 positions". By the crown it has the numbers 9848, and an additional number on an inside plate which is 431A. The case cover has the letters F B and a small key underneath it. It has two sets of numbers 434364 and 11162. Finally, it has a very unique crown. It is stamped with a hand holding a small watch on the palm. This mark is also found on the inside of the case cover. Thanks as always for your help and feedback.

It looks to be in early 1950s automatic movement and most likely a 14 karat gold capped Watch. Awesome find

I hardly ever find vintage wristwatches anyone. I think a lot of people are looking for them now.
