Gruen
For auction is a 1960's Gruen Precision Autowind 1500 feet 43mm caliber 731CA Orange dial automatic vintage diver. A fairly under-appreciated and high grade watch the prices of Gruen 1500 feet divers has always been head scratchingly low as compared to what is on offer: a tremendous amount of water resistance, a large and good looking high quality case, good movement, acrylic bezel and color. With another name on the dial it would easily be double. A very cool and not very expensive oversized vintage diver.
