hello ytony2876!
Great first post. I did delete the other post as it appeared to be a duplicate of this one. Forgive if that was not the case.
You noted, "a wartime material substitution" and that is exactly what is going on here. The G3xxxxx case serial is right in the middle of WWII.
As to the crystal... some good news/bad news: I have the same watch and in a crystal lot that I recently acquired I pulled out the correct one for the watch. The bad... none of the crystals have their labels; it is the mineral glass. The only thing know about the lot was they were for Gruen. I can poke around in the container and try to find one for you. I've pulled out ones for the VT Nomad/Viceroy, VT Adams/Nimrod and the VT Alan, to name a few. most are unknown to me. I'm sure there is another for a VT Master.
I'll let you know. Will ask for shipping cost, if you find that agreeable.
All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
