My aunt sent this up with my mom when she was here for Christmas since she knows I am into watches. My aunt got it for a graduation gift from my grandparents over 50 years ago. She always complained though that she only got a watch and my uncle got a 54 vette for his graduation. It actually still works. I dont know alot about Benrus. Are they a collectable brand? This will be going for a good cleaning and a lube job when the Gallet is returned. I know you guys probably dont want to see it but maybe the girls will.

Thanks guys. I also have a Helbros that was my Grandpaps. This one will go to my cousins kids (my Aunts grandkids) sometime in the future. I will keep it in good shape so they can hand it down.

I dont know if its 14 k or not. I have to get a magnifying glass to see. The letters are so small that I cant read them. It makes me wonder that it may be because like I said, my grandparents bought my uncle a 54 vette for his grad so, the watch may be white gold. And yes, the bracelet is in excellent shape.
