I have to correct myself, was going off memory. Your case was made at the very end of 1923, one of Wadsworth's last 2-3 production runs for Gruen in 1923. I would assume this was a "new for 1924" model, that your watch was launch production. It was, I am certain, made before the patent filing date.

After years of looking for an absolutely certain (documented at the time) case production benchmark in the early 1920s, I've found one for Wadsworth. And it corresponds to Jan 1st 1924.
