irate03 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I picked this up off ebay last week, it is possibly a Movado movement, there are no markings apart from a stamped 'brevet + patent' on the inside of the caseback. There is nothing under the dial, and nothing on the dial side apart from a serial number and a pretty heavy duty looking keyless works. I've tried to fit different hands from what I have at the moment. as pictured> Left to right minute hands: 6497 - new movement - molly tall tube Hour hands: 6497 - new movement - molly tall tube seconds: new movement - molly tall tube. The closet fit for the hour was the 6497 it was loose but a crimp or solder fill may do the job. for the minute hand, the molly was too tight and the 6497 was way to loose, again if I had a 6497 tall tube it might be adjustable. for the seconds the molly was pretty close, just a slight crimp might do it. I don't know how this compares to hamilton or other available hand sizes from Athaya or others so if this size difference has been adapted for already please let me know. Here's the engraving in the CB Nice movement shot The beast uncased !!! I love this movement, I really hope I can use it. front of movement showing heavy duty keyless works. as you can see my Athaya molly ring doesn't quite fit, a bit of filing might work, but then I don't know how much different and 6497 ring is ??
