Bought a movado series 800 sub sea 200m with black face two weeks ago. the instructions that came with it were not for this model. I would download the instructions but can't find them on the web. Please help. thank you, buz miranda

The 74259821 is definitely a 14k solid gold watch. I have one, too, and need an extra link for it if anyone out there has one.

I was told my a jeweler that Movado condiders that. Design defect and they don't produce or offer that rubber insert for sale.

it is probably either in set time mode, or some sort of chronograph mode. play with the buttons.

Try pulling the crown out and using the reset button to move hands beside the sweep arm. If this doesn't work then you may need to take it to a repair shop that can reset or AC the watch. With a movement as fine as Movado I wouldn't attempt this yourself. If you make a mistake the repair could cost more than the watch. Be sure that you have the watch resealed so it maintains its water resistance.

Turn the crown of the watch towards you until it pops out... After the crown pops out, pull on it to extend fully and you should be able to change the time at that point.

I wouldnt try to return it. I would go back and inform the store of the problem you have and they have no choice but to either fix it, show you how to solve the problem, exchange it, or at the least, return it but please give them a chance to fix the issue.
Best wishes,

mcdevito75 here, Movado a FINE watch, BEST BET, look for a small watch repair shop in your area to change the battery, Movado watches have a very good over all value and any damage can lessen that value, not to mention the jewelers screwdriver you"ll need to change that battery.

The chronograph can be reset by pulling out the crown to the first or second position and pressing the start button or top button. This will begin to move the sweep arm and you can stop it on the 12:00 or 0 position. Make sure that when you have the battery changed they do this for you.
