Movado Watch Movement – Believed Zenith Cal. 16.5 / 165 – With Dial, Hands, Crown & Stem – Vintage
📌 Description
Vintage Movado watch movement fitted with a Zenith‑branded mechanical movement. Based on the visible markings and layout, the movement is believed to be Zenith Caliber 16.5 or 165. (Reference only — buyer should verify.)
This is a complete assembly including the dial, hands, Cartier‑style crown, and stem. Ready to be cased by a watchmaker or used for parts.
When wound, the movement showed signs of running, and the balance moves freely. Due to age, it is offered strictly as a parts or project movement.

Apparently they have a lot of inventory that doesn’t even make it to the website. So if your are looking for vintage watches, you might want email them, if you can’t find it on the site.
Thank you for all the help Raymin.

I am delighted with the vintage watch that I purchased from 'Expert Watches'. It is in exactly the condition that was described with perfect patina. As a customer I could not be more delighted with the service Provided by Raymin. The communication has been
first rate and the way in which, as a first time buyer, I was helped with the details of purchase, transfer of funds and shipping was fantastic. The watch arrived on the other side of the Atlantic, expertly packaged and tracked. All in all I would thoroughly 'Expert Watches' and I will certainly be purchasing again from them to add to my vintage watch collection.
