'65 Gruen Precision
Found this poor fella in a resale box amongst timex, fake casios, and Mks- it was like a diamond in the rough. Picked it up with heavy pessimism. Band busted, crystal shot so bad you couldnt read the dial but then I shook it when I saw 25Jewel and with a "No Way" wisper that second hand started to sweep the doubts away. Paid my $4.99 and walked out like a thief. Got it home, new era correct band and some polishing compound and its been a great piece ever since. One that gets much love.

Love finding great second hand gems that could use a little TLC. New to the hobby but have loved them since I was a kid, always mystified by dials, cases and jingly jangly bracelets.

Great find. You can never have too many mechanical vintage Gruens.
Whoa... What a gem, my friend! Congratulations...
$4.99? Steal of a deal!
