Case is in very good condition with hinged back - very little wear on the case and lugs. Case is 29mm X 26.5mm not icluding crown - measured with calipers. Lug end to lug end is 36mm.
Watch dial has had an initial cleaning and was once lumed but the looming has come off. The hands were completelly rusted away making it difficult to get the face off. Movement has been repaired and is running very well. AS you can see I need a set of hands for this watch - I think they would have been cathederal hands if anyone can help??? also need a crystal for this watch - the original was yellowed.
Do not know the model name - will leave that up to you guys and gals ?
Here's the Apollo ad from two comments up, subject watch and Albert ad. Rotated, scaled to appx same sizes. Subject watch is shaped more like Lisa's Albert ad (right) than Apollo ad. But the engraving is more like the Apollo (left). Noting Apollo ad says "...trimmed w/ strips of green gold" Great ads to work with!! We are ID'ing/learning in leaps and bounds.

I'm good with tentative Apollo ...forgot to add that part. And it does look like GVP's 1930 Unknown seen below. Crystal specs between the two watches are the same. GVP's case SN begins w/ a 9, so cases of same date. Am noting the seconds registry partially obscuring the six on the two subject dials, and completely obscuring the six on the Apollo, but minor.
Here's GVP's 1930 example:
Looks like we ID'ed two of these :) ....and I'd probably go three ticks even w/o jewel count and the "green gold" text.
Not to confuse the Apollo designation, could this be a 1929 Glenford. While the ad does not state the gold bars all indications are this is an exact match on the engraving and layout. Although this is missing bottom of the six. Probably just a wrong name given to an Apollo but thought I would thru it in.
