5 out of 5 starsDear watch nerds: take heed. This seller hasn't had a lot of recent reviews and maybe this is the reason. This super rare Soverign was advertised as "running fine". And to me, that made it worth the asking price. But what I instead received was a watch that won't run and needs a service. To add insult to injury, it came thousands of miles with no protection but a plastic bag. I now need to source a crystal because it cracked from shipping. Your experience may be better, and I'll leave it to you to decide if it's worth buying from this dealer.

5 out of 5 starsThe watch was a perfect gift and Mark provided extremely good service when there was a problem due to my son over-winding it.

5 out of 5 starsThis is my 2nd Gruen Watch to add to my collection and actually it’s my best Gruen Veri Thin Watch, it’s outstanding there’s know other word to describe this watch. You would think just looking at this Gruen Veri Thin Watch that it had just come out of the Gruen Watch Shop , when it arrived I wound it 8 times and it didn’t drop a second over 36 hours for a 65 year old watch that is amazing.
