As many of you that visit our site regularly already know, we are very fond of Gruen watches and are
always pleased to locate one in great shape that has a bit of pizazz to it. Here is such a find! This 17 jewel, 14k solid gold ladies' Gruen is in wonderful condition and running like the proverbial top. It measures 16mm in width, at its widest (not including the crown), by 27mm lug to lug, by 7mm thick (including the crystal). This was a presentation watch for loyal service which was the norm back-in-the-day. It is engraved on the reverse with the following: "Presented to Tobie Altmaek for 5 years of loyal service 9-28-64". We always think that this is a big plus, because it nails down the date and also carries with it a sense of history of the owner, even if we don't know his or her story. Being solid gold adds to the value and longevity of the presentation. Make sure you notice the "Shield" shape of the dial and the bezel... it is what makes this one a stand-out. Our one year warranty will allow you to put this one on without any trepidation about its performance.
