Ashford.com is selling COUNTERFEIT Movado Museum watches as genuine watches and their sales representatives are well versed in fabricating stories to cover up. Anyone can check on Movado.com to see the difference in the "Movado Museum" watches that Ashford.com is selling:
1.) Genuine Movado watches has "SWISS MADE" printed neatly at 6 o'clock - the ones sold on Ashford.com are misrepresented as "SWISS QUARTZ" (same as other cheap/non-luxury watches that one can purchase from Wal-Mart for under $20)
2.) Check design / quality of leather strap. The leather strap on a genuine Movado Museum is smooth, there is no "other", "discontinued" styles of the Movado Museum (one can always authenticate these COUNTERFEIT watches with the original brand or at a local pawn shop!)
3.) Sticker on back of watch - Leather strap is Made In China. Do not let Ashford's sales representative fool you into believing that their watches were purchased directly from Movado, they are purchased directly from China. Genuine Movado watches are 100% SWISS MADE. Movado is a luxury watch company with a proud Swiss tradition in watchmaking and they did not produce cheap knockoffs that are half "Swiss Made" and half Made in China!
4.) There is no Movado Museum ******* or Movado (insert any multi-digit numbers here). Again, check with Movado.com, such series just DO NOT EXIST. (Just because 3rd party sellers also sell the exactl konds of knock-offs on Amazon.com and Walmart.com doesn't make these genuine.)
5.) Where is the authentication code that is supposed to be on the box of the Movado Museum watch?
6.) Any watches that are under $500 is NOT a luxury watch. Again, check on Movado.com for genuine watches and genuine prices.

Purchase "luxury" items from off sites that claim to be "authorized dealers" at your own risk. (Unless if you just want to get a high quality knock-off since most people won't spend time to authenticate their purchased items.)
