Hi,

Don't know what to tell you on the band as to whether it is original or not. But here are a few things that I'm confident in based on your images...

Jewelers fit metal bands to cases all the time. File and polish.
The case is marked Cincinnati because the case was made by Gruen, not a contractor such as Wadsworth or Star. The Movement was imported from Switzerland.
Only the cal 335 movement was made briefly in Ohio.

Sorry to hear that the staff was damaged.


All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
