The hour hand on my Mondaine wristwatch has slipped so that on the hour it is displaced from the hour number. I believe Mondaine watches carry a lifetime guarantee so can it be fixed ?
Re: The hour hand on my Mondaine wristwatch has slipped...
Yes. The service you are looking for is called a hand alignment. This isnt usually very expensive so you might even try your local watch repair shop as opposed to sending it in.

The Movado wrist watch you seem to be asking about may be a men's two tone silver dial watch. It seems the number 885997218849 is the UPC (Universal Product Code) assigned to that model of Movado watch. That model of watch carries the MPN (Manufacturer's Part Number) of 3600431.
The price (US dollars) on that web page is for a new wristwatch. If you are hoping to resell your watch, I suspect you cannot ask the price of a new watch.
Follow this link and download manual for your MONDAINE watch:

Mondaine is a quality Swiss manufacturer of watches, so they will use decent quality mechanisms/movements. You don't say if it is a quartz or a mechanical movement.
I assume by 'barrel pin' you are referring to the crown. Check that the crown is not a screw-down one. Try turning the crown slightly before trying to press it back.
It's possible that there is a fault with the 'latch' that holds the crown and stem in place. Do not attempt to force the crown back in!
If gentle persuasion fails to get the crown back in, I'd suggest a trip to your preferred watch repair centre.
I know it is a long time ago, but here is the answer.
When the watch is at '28' or '29' or '30' and you want it to go next to '1' then pull out the crown just ONE click and rotate it, advancing the date without having to wind the hands round.
Date setting should be described in your manual but if you do not have it, then you can get another copy by going to their web site "modaine.com".
Select "after sales service" and a list of instructions appear. This list claims to cover all the watches they make but doesn't include the model number you quoted. Could it be that the number was the serial number for the watch?
The manual list is not too long, so it should be possible to down load the most likely looking candidates.
