SORRY FOR DELAY. I RECEIVED THE WATCH, WOUND IT, PLACED IN ON THE BENCH, AND RAN IT FOR 4 DAYS. IT HAS CONTINUED TO OPERATE WITH RE-WINDS AND NEVER STOPPED, THE HANDS NEVER “STUCK” AND IT HAS WORKED FLAWLESLY PERFECTLY. I ALSO RESET THE TIME 8 TIMES IN CASE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH SETTING.
I NOTED THAT THE HANDS WERE “ON TIME”… WHEN IT ARRIVED….. BUT JUST TO BE SURE, I CHECKED THE OPERATION OF THE WATCH. THIS 1945 C220 WAS MASTERFULL IN ITS DESIGN– AND FULLY MOVADO MADE –NOT AN EBAUCHE BASE MOVEMENT LIKE THE OMEGA BUMPERS– I AM ALWAYS IMPRESSED WITH ITS RHODIUM FINISHED BRIDGES– AWESOME.. I COULD NOT DUPLICATES ANY “STICKING”. NOTHING.
WHEN YOU SAY “STICKS” I AM NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN. I WOULD ASSUME IT MEANT THE HANDS STUCK TOGETHER?
I SIMPLY COULD NOT GET THE MOVEMENT TO DO ANYTHING BUT OPERATE PROPERLY. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. I REMOVED THE HANDS AND DIAL AND MEASURED AND TESTED AND ALL IS AS I COMPLETED IT. PERFECT. IT IS HUMMING ALONG AS I WRITE. ONE THING FOR SURE IS THAT THE HOUR HAND ACTUALLY FITS WIDELY –1.5MM– OVER AND DOWN THE HOUR WHEEL SIDES, AND THE SWEEPS HAND ACTUALY CLICKS ONTO THE CENTER PINION, THAT LEAVES THE MINUTE HAND. I TRIED SEVERAL OTHER HANDS AND THE SAME.

IN ANY CASE, I PLACED AN ORDER FOR 4 SILVER STICK MINUTE HANDS SIZE 70 AND WILL SIZE ONE TO 75. 3 EXTRA ALLOW REDUNDANCY AND STOCK
NOTE: THE HANDS ON THIS TIME PIECE ARE SIZE 115 HOUR HAND & SIZE 75 MINUTE HAND NO LONGER MADE.

IN ANY CASE, IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT WHILE LOOKING FOR A MINUTE HAND I DISCOVERED THAT THIS VERY MOVEMENT, UNSERVICED, NOT GUARANTEED TO RUN, WITH NOTHING ELSE, NO DIAL OR ANYHING, SELLS ON EBAY FOR 175+. LOOKS LIKE THE MOVADO 220 HAS MOVED INTO IS IN THE SAME COLLECTORS CATEGORY AS THE RARE ZENITH!
AS SOOM AS HANDS COME IN WILL CUT AND MOUNT AND TEST AND SHIP.
