Hello and welcome.
You've got a great choice there for a first Gruen watch, and it looks to be in fine original condition!
I don't like expansion bands either, and that one is certainly not original to the watch. I would recommend a conservatively-styled leather band, perhaps in dark brown or black, to allow the watch to be the focal point. These metal bands distract the eye.
My Curvex (a 440/450 Trooper, and not as long as yours) does well on a black band with off-white contrast stitching.
