When I bought this one (while hyperventilating), I was sure it was a President, like Geoff's. Nope, the President is rectangular with no seconds complication. I believe this one is unmolested except for a possible re-lume of hands, with a silver radium dial that has an almost imperceptible sunburst pattern. Just the slightest hint of plating wear (to brass) on the outer edges of the upper lugs. Two piece case. Received as seen running and keeping time.
This is only the second case with this engraving pattern I have ever seen; the other is Geoff's President that was uploaded in 2011.
I'm open to suggestions, I have no idea........besides "strap watch"

I added the strap, it is likely from the 30's.
At first glance I thought, well that's a ladies model but after a closer look I see it isn't. I'm stumped (for now)

I considered it may be a ladies at first as well. However, lugs didn't seem to appear on ladies models until 1926, and sub-seconds on ladies sports models in 1929. Movement is the same as your President. My conclusion is that this one is too early, making it a men's.

Wow Bob this is gorgeous! Congrats but Unknown for now I think.

This one has been stumped too. I can recall seeing engraving like this before. Unknown.
It could be considered a yellow version of the Executive, with the observation that early yellow gold versions got a special engraving. But given we have no ad: unknown.
Note I see a triangle with number 22 and I don’t see a date code?
