 Gruenites, Pan Am runs great, 117 had broken mainspring. Both cases are nice.
Most of these have been left in original "as found/patina" condition. I have a few that I completely restored. Two of these have a broken mainspring, but will run good. Not all the cases are mint, and others have wear spots, scratches, or NWT, (normal wear and tear) This is just the beginning. Here we go!
117 and Pan Am. Good cases, nice crystals,117 broken mainspring.
Auto and Pan Am. All original dials, and cases. Cases ok, both run well. NWT on hands
Gruen 117, worn case, excellent dial and hands, original strap, hairspring is magnetized. Will demag before shipping. Runs very well. I need to remember to demag tools...darn it.
Gruen Cushion. Runs slow, just had case polished to original, dial is superb, hands are all original, should eventually have new staff. I wear this seldomly. It's about 4 minutes slow over 24, but it does run well.
SS Auto and Lavina. All original hands and dial again. All of these watches have good crystals, or are recently replaced. Fact: I have replaced all of these crystals at one time or another. Lavina is all original, but back of case is heavily pitted from years of wear, sweat and dirt. Runs very well, and is absolutely one of my favorites. I have a ton of parts and moveents for aall of these that will be sold separately, or we can negotiate for the whole lot. Hey brethren.....I got a mess of this stuff!

Hi Jack,
Yeah, that one needs a mainspring. I went to wind it the other day, and BOING....the rest is history! This is all original, the crown is very tight, serviced, and in nice shape. PM me
