Thanks for the builds, Jack. Yes, I settled on 252 after looking at the general case and the dial (the minute/seconds track on the outer edge), but I am certainly uncertain! Added 245 & 249 to the OP.

Quick aside --- With the similarities in construction, I have wondered if Gruen licensed the Pioneer patent for all of its threaded import cases from the period. It is possible, since the patent was filed in 1939, that the technology had been available.

VT Scientist is shown in the "Engineer's perfect watch" ad, reaching all the way back to message #151. Haven't found a clearer image...
