I've recently inherited my grandfather's Gruen Airflight. He passed in 1960, and unfortunately my family has no knowledge of this watch's history. I recently had it restored, and the shop provided me the following numbers from inside the case:
Movement Caliber: 422RSS
Other Numbers: 130 / 422SS-108 / 19266
I'd greatly appreciate any information you could provide on the watch. Please note that the bracelet is new (Hirsch), not an original component. Thanks!

 Hi,
I was very happy to find this group.
I need help to identity my Grandfather's watch.If anyone would know the model and what it could be made from.
I don't have an antique watch repair shop near me and I am not comfortable taking the back off myself.I have searched best I can and have not found one exactly like it.
I have owned it for 40 years and to the best of my knowledge it is in original condition.
Any info on it much appreciated.
Thanks.

Gruen Wrist Watches Presentation
NAWCC 135 presentation and summary notes; Thu, 16 February 2017 00:43
Here is the presentation that Jack and I shared with the local chapter that you all were asking to see. I was waiting for the meeting summary notes to attach for you as well. We both had our collection of watches and Jack had a couple dozen advertisements for folks to look at.
I converted the presentation into PDF to reduce the size as it was rather large in the PP format. The Orné slide is not shown for it is copyrighted.
Let me know if you see any glaring errors that pop out, we might use it again in the future. We put it together rather quickly as most chapter programs do when they are first conceived.
Enjoy!
