Hi there, just bought this today for 45USD! It is my first Gruen and I always wanted a watch with this very cool hands style that I can only find on this brand. The watch is not working but the movement seems in fair condition or at least complete although the balance wheel remains hidden. What you guys think, did I go well with this one?
Nice, I love vintage Gruen watches.....should be a 400ss movement circa 1942-44. This one is of the same era but with an especially nicely styled case. Bargain? well you've already had $45 worth of fun with it
I have a couple of Gruen bumpers and they're monotonously reliable. time keeping is pretty good (less than a minute a day) and they suit a bracelet rather than a strap given the smaller size of the watches. they come with really cool boxes as well if you can find them. I wear mine (10k GF and SS) with a suit when I'm working.
