Everything points to an Apollo but noting that the ad does say Green Gold stripes.  This appears to be yellow gold which might have been a variant.   That being said I am comfortable with the 1930 Bulova Apollo assignment.

We discussed this a few years ago; if I remember correctly the difference between yellow and green gold is the amount of copper in the alloy. Green tends to darken over time like brass does.
