It is possible that it is a year indicator.

You may well be right that it's a year indicator. I found Gruen-made case # C454xxx engraved with a name & "12/25/1951", so C began sometime in/before 1951. Beyond that...??

Hoping others can shed more light on 50s case letters & dates!

My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more
