Movado Watch Serial Numbers
I'm thinking of buying Movado Museum but not so sure if it real or not, it come with box and Certificate of Authenticity. Serial# 01.1.14.1050.
Movado is a Swiss watch company founded in 1881. Movado watches belong to the Movado Group, which also sells Coach, ESQ Swiss, Ebel, and Concord watches, to name a few. A majority of Movado watches are quartz, which means they are battery-operated, but some have an automatic movement, which means they self-wind with the natural movement of your wrist. Knowing the model number is necessary when ordering parts or doing maintenance.
Turn the watch face down so you are looking at the back of the watch case.
Locate the two sets of numbers on the back of the case. You will see 'MOVADO Swiss Made' at the top and the numbers will be toward the bottom.
The top number is the model number. On most new Movado watches, the model number will begin with 260 or 06.

It's my understanding that, prior to 1963, Movado wristwatches had six-digit serial numbers, that started with the movement caliber number and then counted up sequentially from there; i.e., the first Cal.150-powered watch would be 150001, the one thousand and first 151001, etc. Yet, I notice that a 1940 Movado 6B/159 I have has a five-digit serial, while a 1942 6B/159 has a seven-digit number! Both have Cal.75 movements and stainless steel cases.

As if Movado's serial numbering system wasn't complicated enough, perhaps there were exceptions to the six-digit rule?
Any guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks,
