Gruen Box
https://vintagegruen.org/vgforum/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=16379&th=2224#msg_16379
I as wondering if anyone had any idea which decade this box might be from?]]>Brian S2022-04-07T14:05:55-00:00Re: Gruen Box

this is what I also first thought, first appearance in advertisements are from 1971, I have never seen an earlier one. Last appearance 1981...
But I own a Guildcraft watch which was definitely built between 1963 and 1968 (caliber 510 with GXC mark).
And Gruen already filed for the trademark in September 1952!

Yes, this leaves the original question completely unanswered.]]>Barney Green2022-04-09T17:10:58-00:00Re: Gruen Box

Due to the reuse of names I would assume that it is not the same model, but to me the model name would indicate a ladies watch also for a Guildcraft model.
Here my Sea Beauty with not original band (looking for one!)
Would the sticker also have the model number 4952W2745?

It looks to me like the sticker reads: "SEA BEAUTY GC 782 WHITE"
I will guess GC stands for Guildcraft, 782 is model number? and "white" is the colour of the dial?
I would post a small clip of photo but did not want to assume it was just ok. But you can easily see for yourself Bernd as it looks like the box ships to Germany.
Interesting about your Sea Beauty being a regular Gruen model.]]>Ephemerald2022-04-10T17:36:00-00:00
