Gruen Master

Given how many 75x movements appear in cases marked 740, and the relative rarity of 740 movements in 740 cases, I wonder whether Gruen placed a large case order in the late teens/early 20s and then struggled to use them up due to lower demand (maybe because everyone wanted a Verithin instead?).

I would say I've seen more 740s in cases with no caliber mark than I have seen 740s in cases marked 740.
