A few weeks ago, I was doing the rounds in my local mall, including various jewelry shops to see the watches they had. I stopped into the place I bought my previous Movado years earlier (I wasn't wearing it). The sales lady started showing me all the Movados they had. I asked if they had the Red Label series. She looked blankly at me, like a deer in headlights. When I explained what it was, she said she didn't think they had it. I then asked if all the Movados there were quartz. She said yes. I then asked if they had any automatics. She said, "What, you mean Movados?" I said any automatics at all, regardless of brand. Again, I got that look. Then she turned around and called out,
"Steve, do we have any automatics?"
"What, in the store?" came the reply, from somewhere in the back.
"Yeah."
"No."
So that was pretty much that. And that was just one of three stores that carries the brand in that mall alone...and they were all quartz. So, yeah, they're common, but I suppose one could argue that the automatic Movados are a lot less common. Speaking of common, two stores in that mall carry Rolex, so I don't what to take from that.
