Could this be the Apollo from the new ads posted by plainsmen? Looks to be the same watch that I recently posted. Dial looks like the last ad and case the top. Dial also matches the 1938 Apollo. Mine has a different movement but still 15 jewels.

1942 ads seem to be a match, I'll agree to Apollo.

Its nice to know that the unknowns still have a chance of getting identified at some point.I'm not saying that my first thought on this being th Apollo was correct;I'll leave that up to the panel but it sure would be nice.
