The movement is a caliber 115 which was introduced in 1925. I would date the watch to around this time. I am not quite sure with the lugs looking to be solid on one side but like a wire lug in the other. Probably an old repair? Or I simply don't see it correctly.
"Wadsworth" is the company which made the case for this Gruen. Gruen used different case makers as they were not able to produce enough cases for their watches. There were specialised companies like Wadsworth producing cased for the watch companies.
The number 99 in the case is indicating the style of the crystal.
There are some experts here in the forum who can most likely tell you much nmore about the watch than I can.
