Appraisal Report
This is a Gruen watch case made by Wadsworth and reinforced with 14k gold. The numbers likely indicate the model and serial number. Without seeing the complete watch and its condition, it's difficult to give an exact appraisal. However, given it's a 14k gold reinforced case from a known watchmaker like Gruen and Wadsworth, it has some intrinsic value due to the gold content and collectibility. The value would be higher if it were solid gold, but the reinforcement with metal means the gold content is less significant than a solid gold case. The condition appears fair in the image, showing some wear.
Appraisal Value
$50 - $200
