Gruen Master

If the serial numbers were built in sequential order, this movement should have been built in 1917.

I also have another such movement recorded: SN 471132. It is a 17 jewel movement with similar features (at least the balance cock, regulator, and Precision marking in diamond). It is part of a wristwatch conversion somewhere. At the time I recorded it, I assumed it was a mongrel (and it still could be I guess). It would also have been built during 1916.

The SNs for 1916 (470k-477k) contain the most diversity of movements and odd movement markings anywhere in the sequence from 450-715k. And that was before this latest addition!
