"I always thought so....:)".
Always thought so that the "Case bezel style is very similar to the PanAm Ace but larger"?
Ok, I see. What can I say you were ahead of your time seeing the similarities. 👍
But to be clear, my case is completely different model and construction than your case. (Not just size, bezel lip, but back also, and different style...
My hyperbole "did Gruen just throw a diff dial in a Pan Am Ace case?".
In fact was just that. Gruen was of course far more thoughtful, you can see here that it is the bezel and therefore the size of lugs, that really distinguished it from the Ace.
Thanks for comment. It's nice to see you around again. Def interested in your model, but dates from after Gruen/ PA deal. Do you have a name?
