I acquired another Gruen Precision from the 1950s. The previous owner indicated it to be from around 1955 so this is about 64 years old. It is in very good shape with what appears to be reapplied lumes. This is my 3rd Gruen Precision watch and can easily be part of my rotation.

The watch runs a bit fast, gaining more than a couple of minutes per day. I haven't had the chance to have it serviced recently but it is in pretty good condition and should be no trouble to repair/adjust.
