Movement | 17 jewel Cal 440 manual wind movement signed Gruen Watch Co., and marked "Precision Curvex". The 440 is one of the "true" curvex movements. There is slippage on the winding mechanism but watch winds and operates fine despite this. This couldn't be corrected due to part wear and unavailability of replacement part. Watch is priced with this flaw and sold with this caveat. Aside from this exclusion, watch comes with a 9-month mechanical warranty. |
