Gruen Master

What I have found in Blancpain historical data is that Blancpain-Villeret was renamed into Rayville-Blancpain in June 1933, which looks to be a good 10-15 years after this wristlet was produced.

I agree that "Factory V" could be referring to Blancpain-Villeret however again according to their own historical data they didn't start supplying to Gruen until the mid 30's, which isn't matching with the calibers that carry this signature.
