Gruen Master

This is an automatic watch from the 1950s. It most likely has the 17 jewel 480ss caliber inside. You are more likely to find success identifying it by looking for the case design - dials can vary quite a lot, but this is a reasonably common case design.

It's quite possible that the movement is still in working order. The 480ss is a fairly rugged design by vintage standards. The watch was probably retired when the hands fell off. Of course, that's all speculation.

It definitely needs a good cleaning inside and out, but just looking at it, I suspect that it will be pretty economical to get it going again (by vintage watch standards!).
