Gruen Apprentice

I have a watch that belonged to my grandfather. I am trying to find out a couple of things;

Exactly what it is....name, style...etc.
Is it worth cleaning up & servicing? (it still runs, but could use a good service)
How much should it be worth (insurance purposes)

Thanks!!

Model name : Not sure....but 'Batwing' keeps popping up in my searches.
Type : Ristside?
Period/date : 40's/50's
Gender : Mens

Case Maker : Apex
Case Material : 10K Gold Filled
Case Serial : V24166
Case Style no :

Caliber : 440
Movement Maker : Gruen
Movement Serial: 5270? Not sure...hard to read....but has 'B' marking as well.

Bracelet : Cromwell +1/20 12K gold filled (not the original, I'm sure)
