The 179s have a strange numbering scheme. I own six of them with the following case /serial / maker combinations:
125686 / 996799 / GRUEN ULTRA QUALITY
130365 / 5144168 / Wadsworth 14K GOLD REINFORCED WITH METAL
320132 / 5158901 / Wadsworth 14K GOLD REINFORCED WITH METAL
320317 / 5239682 / Wadsworth 14K GOLD FILLED REINFORCED WITH EXTRA GOLD
320411 / 5278253 / Wadsworth 14K GOLD FILLED REINFORCED WITH EXTRA GOLD
1216071 / 2112798 / GRUEN 14K GOLD FILLED REINFORCED WITH EXTRA GOLD
The first one I dated the case probably too early, but I gave it a 1922 for the case and 1926 for the movement.
Number two and three I gave a 1926 for the case and a 1927 for the movement.
Number four and five got a 1927 all over.
The last one got a 1931 for the case and a 1930 for the movement.
The three 320k movements are very close, but three different watches: Strap 28, Strap 57 and Strap 91. The 30s one is a Strap 176.
