Heading back to share two things:

First, I’ve been watching the Ph Wolf brands. I can say the front plate markings on my 615 (serial # in a rounded inset) do seem to fit with Aureole/Vertex as a source. Here is an Aureole match to another Gruen caliber (the 843). Can’t say if it’s a match to the 843 jewel mounts, as I’ve never seen one live, let alone the dial side. But the serial number format is a match for this 615: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Aureole-17J-3-Adj-Watch-Movement-Re pairs-Parts-1249-/255088944974

Second, there actually IS one Gruen caliber family that has the Glycine click. It’s the 137 138 139 & 1397. Just found one in Barney’s old post.
