Description

grandpa don’s mostly movados ~~~ price reduced on 03/02/2026 ~~~ Description: This is a unique treasure that is quite rare. A Pair of Three Monkey (See, Speak, Hear No Evil) Stacked Monkey Bookends – each is made out of a hard brown resin, each is quite heavy – need to be to hold up a rack of books – and each is very ornate and quite beautiful. This set is new-in-box and although I have owned them for a number of years, they have been stored in their original box under my desk in the “monkey” study. These were purchased online in the early 1990s and I have not seen another set although I am sure they are out there. Each individual piece has the three monkeys stacked on each other’s back, each is depicting one of the “evils”, the monkey on the bottom is covering his mouth with one hand (Speak No Evil), the monkey in the middle is covering his eyes with both hands (See No Evil) and the monkey on top is covering his ears with both hands (Hear No Evil). These two pieces are identical and individually they measure 8.5” tall, 3.5” across, and 4” at the deepest point. Each piece is weighs in at close to two pounds. A very ornate set, a perfect addition to your collection. This piece is in excellent condition without any known issues. As one monkey collector to another, don't let this one pass you by - I have been a collector of the 3 and 4 monkey genre for more than 50 years and have purchased different unique sets from all over the world - and right here at home from a large number of antique shops across this country - as I approach 80 I have decided to let other's share in the enjoyment. Keep an eye out as I will be selling a number of different and unique pieces in the coming months - and, if you should be in the market for a terrific reconditioned Movado watch at a ridiculously low price - you have come to the right place - currently I have more than 150 Movado watches for sale on Ebay - many of which would make the perfect gift for Christmas - never too early to shop for the perfect gift.... GrandPa Don's Rating: 5 This piece is in excellent condition - aesthetically pleasing as nice as they day I bought them in the mid-1990s –they have been sitting in my studies for the past 30+ years.

Rating System: Keep in mind, light scratching is indicative to stainless steel – and can even be seen on a new watch when using a jeweler’s loop. If you are looking for it, you will see it. Using a jeweler’s loop and using the naked eye give two completely different visualizations. Refurbished watches are not perfect – but should look exceptionally pleasing to the naked eye – thus the rating system that I use: è A Rating of Three (3): some scratching will be visible to the naked eye. For example, deep scratches on the caseback are usually caused by an individual attempting to change a battery without the proper tools or experience. Although lightened through reconditioning, excising these completely could compromise the integrity of the case. è A Rating of Four (4): light scratching on the band and/or caseback may be visible to the new owner but most likely not to others. A condition just slightly below a four plus. è A Rating of Four-Plus (4+): minimal light scratching, if any, on the band or caseback may be present but likely not seen to the naked eye. Watches given this rating have been very lightly used and/or taken very good care by the previous owner. Could easily pass as a new watch. è A Rating of Five (5): The watch is either brand new and never been worn or lightly used but reconditioned with excellent results – any defects and/or scratches have been removed. Please Note: Although any distinction between a new watch and a reconditioned watch with a 5 rating is difficult to discern by the naked eye, we will always indicate if a five is a new or a reconditioned watch. Rest assured, I will never sell you a reconditioned watch as a new, unworn watch. About Us: Grandpa Don has been in business since 2001and has periodically sold refurbished watches on Ebay since that time. I have more than 25 years experience working on Movado watches and still handle the beautification and refurbishing of the watch you purchase – although I am now a Great GrandPa and do leave the intricate movement work to an expert Movado watch repair business located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. My primary mission has always been the satisfaction of my customers – many of which are repeat especially during the holiday season. I pride myself on honesty and integrity – when you purchase a Movado watch, or any other brand for that matter from GrandPa Don’s, you are guaranteed to receive a genuine brand watch and not a foreign knockoff. The condition number assigned to your new watch is, to the best of my ability, an indication of the present condition of the watch you will receive.
