At the very least, the value of the watch's gold density.
For such a simple question there's a long and complex answer that asks more questions than provides answers.You can research this answer yourself using the largest watch sales site I'm aware of, which is of course eBay.Gruens are not your high-end watches. It's part of the draw for many collectors. You can get a beautiful watch for a reasonable price. I'll go out on a limb and set expectations that unless you have something solid platinum or have history behind your watch to make it a significant piece, then you are not going to get rich from your watch.In my opinion, these are "Factors" that go help determine the "value" of a Gruen watch. But before you begin to research these factors below, take a quick look at eBay's sold Gruen listings. This will set the expectations somewhat. Don't get too excited at this point, but you will at least see we're talking in the $100's, not $1,000'sIf your watch is modern, and has a quartz movement, then it's not worth much. Tens of dollars.The case is the next determining factor.The condition of the case probably has the largest influence on the price.Solid gold cases fetch the highest prices.Next down is 14K gold filled and 10K gold filled.Gold filled cases often have wear at the tips of the lugs, if this watch does, the more wear, the lower the price. The price jump from no wear to some wear can be bigThe rarityThis is where you get to determine the value based on the market. If you really want to find the value, you'll have to work at it a bit.The best way I know of to look at current market values is to look on eBay at the completed listings. This is the market value at the moment in my opinion. Scour ebay for your watch.Gather information by researchingThere is a relatively easy way to find the age of the watch using the Gruen Style Number Dating Technique. Type that phrase into Google and you'll find a Gruen site with the information / paper posted there. The only requirement is that you can remove the movement from the case.Knowing the model name and thus the age and other stats about your watch is very helpful. Buyers like knowing what they are buyingThe age is a determining factor as well, of course. You will know the age when you find the model nameOnce you have gathered this info, post it here and on Gruen specific forums, the NAWCC forum, or a host of other large watch oriented sites with a forum. This is the kind of data, along with several pictures, that is required to answer your question.Hopefully by looking for answers to the above questions will lead you to identifying your watch and finding the value of it.
Many models are very tall and thin to begin with. They often watch what they eat and diet and exercise to maintain a thin frame. Many do have "poor" eating habits or eating disorders to maintain an extreme thinness, too.
The secret is to thin out the seedlings as they grow. Watch out for carrot fly though.
The Westclox pocket watch with a train engraved into the case is not a very valuable watch. The average cost of this watch is approximately $50.00.
No. This stuff is only plated with a very thin layer of gold.
Kristen Stewart had VERY thick hair that is very hard to copy. :)
The short hand is the hour hand. The longer hand is the minute hand. If there is a third hand, it is very thin and very fast. That would be the second hand.
Pretty much non-existent. Post-1982 pennies are zinc with a very thin copper coating and contain very little copper of any economic value.
The value of a Hamilton 992B railroad special pocket watch, with the serial number C309143, and in very good condition is about $455.0.
Which of these have very thin cell membranes?
