Makes you wonder what the one inscribed with "Babe Ruth" would go for...
It went for $717,000

That is alot of peanuts and popcorn.
Oh nice! Wow.
It was big news. This is what I love about Gruen.
I have learned more about Babe than I ever have because of these watches.
Started out as a pitcher blew my mind.
Looks like the Sultan of Swat had his own collection of Gruen watches.
Very cool. I think I prefer the green gold octagon, personally.
