Watch Description

Hello, I am hoping you can help identify my new watch.  It has gold stripes down each side of case, case is engraved/chased and steel coloured.  The dial is silver coloured with black markings, there is no trace of white paint or lume on dial.  Would this be original or was the paint/lume removed?  The hands show traces of lume.  I have no information on its history, I bought it from a Canadian seller.  It looks like it may be a 1932 Apollo.  Thanks in advance.

edit Alex: changed to 1930 based on case date, not movement that is a repalcement.

Pics are too small to be able to identify and when you retake them please take pictures of the back of the case inside and outside and pictures of the movement.

Brendan - the new  photos are uploaded - I might suggest that this is a 1930 watch with a 1932 movement as we have been dating to the case serial number.

I agree that it looks like the Apollo.
