I don't think its GF. If you look at the back of the case there is a thin stamped gold case over the steel or brass case. I took the back off and it has service dates scrached in the back. 56 57 and 80.

Hi, welcome. In the Gruen catalog this is wristlet model "WR 766". Its listed as having movement calibre 215ss. It was available in gold and gold filled. Jennekes correct, this is certainly the gold filled option, with a steel caseback.

The back of the case says the gruen and steel back, The gold I don't think it is plate. There is a thin plate that is stamped the case cover out of. I am sure its not a great amount of gold but I don't think its plate. I am positve the scratches are service dates. 2-9-56 *-28-57 5-10-80

This is the Gruen Pilgrim from 1952. It definitely is gold plated, a relatively rare model. Original price was $49.75, today watches like this are close to worthless, sorry, but there is no market for these ladies watches.

I agree, it is worth more than that, but if you try to sell it you would not get much more I fear.

I bought a bag of watches at a flea market one was a Womens Seiko gold color watch that is quartz, new battery and a few links I took out and my wife loves it. This one and it works and keeps time. The other three are a Timex Works then stops mechanical movement, Bulova, liberty. Nothing of real value but I will try to sell the lot for the 2 bucks I have into the 5 watches. I will sell them for repair or parts.
