I have enjoyed collecting watches since the mid 1950's, but now it's time to pass them on to those of you who will appreciate and care for them as I have.

 A few years ago, I acquired several new Gruen men's wrist watches.  Some were in the boxes.  This is one of them.  The pictures were taken with the clear plastic protectors still on the front and back crystals.  Perhaps I should have removed these protectors when I took the pictures. However the pictures turned out quite good.  As previously stated this watch is new.  This makes it easy to describe.  I just refer you to the pictures.  However there are a few things I should mention.  This watch is a 25 jewel automatic; ETA caliber 2824-2.  This movement has the hack feature.  This watch is rated for a depth of 330ft.  The rotating bezel is unidirectional.  The hands and dial are luminous.  The presentation box has shown some deterioration in that some of the plastic faux leather interior pieces had stuck to the case and band.  I cleaned it off of the watch, but I thought I should mention this so there wouldn't be any surprises.  If you look closely at the pictures you can see what I'm talking about.  If you have any questions please send me a eBay message.

NOTE:  THE LUG WIDTH IS NOT 18mm AND THE CASE DIA. IS NOT 33.2mm W/O CROWN & 35.6mmW/CROWN...I HAVENT FIGURED OUT HOW TO DELETE THESE .
