Is there a Gruen watch catelog that the Carre is featured in? Just the master book? I looked at my copy of the Guild Book, and unless I've missed it, no mention. This includes the 1930 update pages too. It must really be 1931 at the earliest for their introduction? What resources are people using for the letter designation for style?

Edit - Never mind, found it on page 3A of the 9-31 supplement.

As to enamel work... I was given supplies for true fired enamel work (with the kiln), but have yet to do anything with it. Other than use the kiln for other jewelry aspects. Think I'd want to experiment on a lot of other things before trying my hand at restoring a watch case. In fact, restoring watch dials with fired enamel is not possible. I think that Cary's mention of Ceramit is the material used by the watch dial restoration service in the UK I once contacted. Sounds like what was described to me as part of their process.

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
