Description: Presented here is a 50s Vintage Swiss Gruen Veri-Thin Real Diamond 10K WGF Women’s Watch - Parts or Repairs This gorgeous, highly collectible watch was made by Gruen in the 1950’s. Despite being in remarkable cosmetic condition, it does not work and hence listed for Parts or Repair. It features an elegant 10K White Gold Filled tonneau case with beautiful, elongated lugs adorned with a genuine Diamond on each side. I am not a jeweler and don’t know the Cs but they test real with a Diamond Selector Tool. The case measures 16mm wide and 28mm lug to lug. The crown is original and signed. The case houses a silver dial with Arabic numeral indices and blue dauphine hands. It is signed GRUEN-VERI-THIN - SWITZERLAND. The crystal is original and domed. This timepiece is fitted with a Pontiac black cord bracelet with 10K White RGP clasp and stainless steel back. Not sure if it original to the watch but certainly period correct. It is powered by a Gruen Veri-Thin Swiss 17 Jewels Hand Wound movement that does not run despite being wound. For a timepiece that is ~70 years old, it is in cosmetically Excellent pre-owned vintage condition but not working. The case is very clean with very light, superficial scratches. Diamonds on the lug are both intact. The crown is clean with a crisp Gruen marking. The crystal does show considerable scratches. The dial itself has light patina & settled dust but in excellent condition with all lettering intact (see pic of dial outside its case). The cord bracelet is in an excellent clean condition. The movement appears clean and complete (I am not a watchmaker, please review pics) but does not run. These watches, especially in this cosmetic condition, are not common and if you can manage to repair it, you have a winner! To me it appears more of a repair candidate than for parts. In any case, it will make a fantastic donor watch for case and bracelet. A beautiful example of mid-century Swiss Watchmaking, it will be wonderful if someone can get it going again.
