Gruen Apprentice

As far as I know, all the 123s had the gold-colored plates. I believe it was the last of the "original" Quadrons to be made before Gruen ceased production in favor of the Curvex and other Calibers. Interestingly, the Gruen's materials department continued to refer to many new calibers as "Quadrons" if the movements continued to fill the majority of the movement cavity in the case. For example, the materials department referred to the Caliber 500 as a Quadron, even though the name was dropped in Gruen's advertising.

Other folks may have some additional thoughts on the 123. I am merely speaking from experience and how Roy Ehrhardt's original "Master Book" was organized.

Sincerely,

Bruce Shawkey
