I'll check & confirm. It's just very strange--only cases made by outside companies were marked "cased & timed... by Gruen Watch Co." True Gruen house-made cases always say "...by the Gruen Watch Co."

BTW, regarding style #s, I think with more data we'll find the style numbers you referenced as 1957 are actually 1953, as well.

For example, I have in my collection a Norwood-made 21J 235 (aka 2351), style pair 235-911, produced 1952-53 (Gruen house case # D471268). Here's a pic of that one. Note the SN is 1 letter + 6 numbers here, and you can see "THE Gruen Watch Co." Maybe this also addresses your question about the previous case # reference being too short, but I'll check anyway.

My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more
