Personally I have no doubt that this is a Weber case. The serial number suggests as much and this is a style of case that Weber definitely made. Here's the same base case (rounded shell with incised lines) but with added crown guard elements in 14k that is marked Gruen-Weber:

I'm not in a position to say anything conclusively, but I now believe that aside from the occasional American gold filled cases exported to Alpina, Weber was Alpina's sole supplier of cases for the Alpina-Gruen line of watches. If it wasn't Weber exclusively, it was darned close.
