Dear Bugsatty, your watch is a 1927 Spartan. A beautiful representative of the Art Deco period. Congratulations!

I see you initially classified the watch as 1924, probably the result of the date of June 10, 1924 stamped inside. This refers to a patent that was granted on that day for a dust protector, a piece of cellophane protecting the movement from dust (missing on your watch).

Can you double check the date code of the movement. You can find more info about movement date codes here: https://mybulova.com/bulova-date-codes

The date code should be under the word "SWISS" which is placed before the text "FIFTEEN JEWELS". I think I see a square. Thanks!

Dial variation from the listed advert examples, but the case is indicative of the model.

Case stamping of 'Bulova & American Standard' indicates 1929 t this point in time.
