Hey now! Lets play nice.

All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me

I wrote up a tutorial on opening Gruen cases as an addition to the Style Number Dating tutorial. I figured since the first step in using Style Numbers is to open the case, I should provide some kind of guidance on how to do that rather than leave it up to the reader to hack their way into their Gruen watch.

The tutorial is posted on the GruenWristwatches website. I have another round of editing to do on it. You can find the tutorial here - How To Open a Vintage Watch Case. I have another round of editing to do.
