I'm selling my vintage Gruen Pan Am manual-wind pilot's watch from the 1950s. I'm not the original owner, but it's almost as old as me--and works better. I've had this watch for many years and have worn it on a few occasions; only once with this strap. This is a particularly beautiful example of this historical model, with rose and yellow gold and an unmarred dial. Pan Ams are getting harder to find, especially in this state of preservation. Please be aware that watches of this era were much smaller than today's; the diameter is approximately 32mm and there is no lume. This Pan Am is currently on a chocolate brown genuine crocodile strap with matching rose gold buckle that was hand selected for this watch by the strap seller. I'm also including two other like-new smooth leather straps--one black and one mid-brown. A gift box is provided but, obviously, it isn't the original. >>>PRICE DROP: $525

Price includes PayPal G&S fee and USPS Insured Priority shipping to CONUS addresses only. No trade offers, please. First "I'll take it" here followed by BF PM or email to: jrn5070 at gmail dot com.

PLEASE NOTE: I've tried to show the watch as best I can in the photos (BTW that's dust below the 10 in the first photo, not a scratch on the crystal). I am not a watch dealer and don't have many details about the movement, etc. I do have a sheet on the history of the model that I'll share with the purchaser. Also, and this is important, although I've taken care of this watch and the watch currently is in good condition and is working well, like any vintage watch (or for that matter any watch), there are no guarantees that it will continue working without need of service at some point in the future. So buyer be advised, as I do not accept returns.
