Gruen Master

This is a stunning watch! Congratulations, and I hope it gets worn.

Comments on some of the statements earlier in this (very old) thread:

I have seen one 123 that is not gold flashed - but every higher serial number example is gold. I think they switched over quite early.

Regarding "original" Quadron calibers:
The 325 Guild caliber is the next evolution of the 117/119/123 family. Though it's marked Guild and not Precision, it can have up to 21 jewels. A worthy continuation of a very nice caliber family (if perhaps not quite up to spec?). Occasionally a 5th Avenue example will appear too, so I don't think it was intended as a drop in quality. It's not very Gruen-like to put a lesser caliber in a top-of-the-line case.

Now, whether the 325 is an "original" Quadron caliber, I won't say. But it needs to be part of the conversation.
