Here I thought it was thojil I might be bidding against. I figured I'd need to fight for this one.
Is the movement you show the one that came with the watch? It is an older version of the cal 157. The reduced barrel bridge design is the later model. Also your's says 'adjusted' which puts it back to 1929 or before. I ask because of the idea that Gruen was taking material on hand (or returned as unsold) and casing things to sell watches. That said I agree with what you and Barney say: this watch is surely 1935-ish. Our case serials are pretty close.
Cheers!
