Gruen Authority

I think the new crystal made the dial appear much better...
BTW does anyone has a proof that the Dix was still sold after 1942? I only have ads mentioning it from 1941 and 1942. Also the movement serial number of this watch dates it to late 1941.

At Paul Schliessers website it is said that "Although Gruen did not manufacture watches for the U.S. military, they offered the public a collection of eight military-style watches, to be used as personal watches by (or gifts to) men and women doing military service.". This is not quite right. There was an ad in 1941 Paul might refer to which showed 8 watches for this purpose, but there were more than these eight being sold as "Service watches".
