While sorting through my old memory box, ran across this old Gruen that I purchased back in the early 80's...while I was still lusting after the Rolex! Thought you folks might get a chuckle out of this old beater purchased from Consumer's Distributing way back when! BTW..hour hand can be set independently of the minute hand, unlike my GMT I!

Looks like it's in great shape. You should put it on ebay & see what you can get for it.

Even has ALL the original paperwork!
