Gruen Apprentice

Wow, how much did that one sell for? A Boeing 314 pilot's watch would be particularly of collector interest, I would think, so I would imagine it went for a good sum.

I would assume that the early ones you mention-- the wartime ones in the 86,000 serial number range-- would by definition have been sold to Pan Am personnel, as the wartime ads said that they were only for sale to them.

By the way, those ads show a Pan Am watch with a darker inner ring, as opposed to the lighter inner ring seen on many of the ones on eBay and for sale on the Net. Is that a solid clue? (Any other tips for dating them?)

Thanks again for all your help.

Matt
