I bought a rally strap from Barton on sale. I changed out the bracelet and like the leather, at least for now. Long term I'll probably switch back.

This one has appeared here before. Gruen was an American company that used mostly Swiss movements. This one is an exception. The movement is a 23-jewel self winder made by the German maker, Durowe. Durowe and Laco were associated. Laco being a major supplier to the German armed forces during WWII. This watch has a 14-karat gold shell over stainless steel case, and was a quality watch in the mid to late 1950s. Last time I showed it, it was on a period correct, gold filled “scissor” link bracelet. I lucked into this two-piece, tapered bracelet recently, and it was looking for a job. So I put it on the Gruen.
