Vintage Gruen Precision wristwatch that has an original dial and is in excellent condition.
It has a rose colored gold filled case, gold filled case and back! This is a classic Gruen from the 1940s. The movement is a  calibre 405,  17 jewel windup. It even has a new rose crown. There is some wear on the case, it is on the front between the lugs and it amounts to the thin line on the upper and lower edges of the case. This is common from wearing a watch under a suit for years.
The lugs on this case are very unusual. It has a gold filled case that was made by the Star Watch Case Co. The lugs are not solid. The way the case was made is that the lugs were actually straight strips that were "rolled" up to make lugs. This lugs are easily bent and deformed and they are not perfectly lined up on this watch. There is some wear on top of them also. Overall I would rate this watch a 7.5, but it is a sweet looking rose watch.
