Model name : Unknown
Type : Octagon wristlet
Period/date : c1925
Gender : ladies
Case Maker : -
Case Material : Ultra Quality. Unmarked, but presumably white gold filled
Case Serial : 5011448
Case Style no : -
Caliber : 885
Movement Maker : 15J Gruen Guild, 3 Adj
Movement Serial: 102703
Bracelet : Appears to be original and the design matches that of the case
Other info : (Thanks to timeliz for her input). Recently acquired from ebay, I bid on this because it appeared to be a match set of watch, band, and case. Now that I have it in my possession nothing suggests that it isn't all original. This has the odd looking 885 that timeliz posted about in http://vintagegruen.org/vgforum/index.php?t=msg&goto=286 1&#msg_2861, and our SNs are very similar.
Notice that the case material matches the material for the similar era parts cases. The booklet was included and it folds up and fits nicely but there is nothing that identifies the date or printer.

Yes, the set appears to go together. I believe Gruen made a same/similar style 1925-1927. Many of the ladies watches in the 1920s were sold with ribbon straps. I am not a Gruen expert, but have a few 1920s-1930s Lady Gruens.
