/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=3726&private=0For your viewing pleasure is a 1929 Gruen Cartouche with the original cloth band and it's buckle! What's interesting to note is that the engraving on the buckle matches that of the dial... flower theme! The inside back cover is stamped 833 - 8! This watch is in excellent condition and it is running nicely! Enjoy!

What really amazes me is not only the condition but that it is still has it's original "strap and buckle'' attached! How often do you come across a museum quality watch with it's original attachment's? Now, if I only had the box and the paperwork!

It just sold yesterday on eBay for $25. If you keep an eye on eBay, one will show up before too long.
