Zaf,
I have two vintage Movados from my Father-In-Law's estate that I would like some info about. Pictures attached -
1) Purse watch, 1252-913M on the back
2) Arab Movado, 9348 on side

Can you tell me the dates and approximate values please.

Thanks in Advance,
RogerPurseWatchmovadopurse

They are both probably late 1940s. If actually never seen one with an Arabic dial, interesting...not sure that adds value. What metal are they made of?

The purse watch is gold I think because on the back it says Metal Dore (which according to Ency Brit is Silver, Gold & Platinum). BTW - I also have the original case for the purse watch.

The Arabic Movado has a gold outer band around the bezel, a gold winding knob and the rest of the case is either silver or SS.

"Metal Dore" is gold plate- value around $3-400
The wrist watch is solid gold bezel, probably around $6-700 unless the dial sells for a premium...
