Hello, This is a 1942 based on the 10LB movement which I think may have only been used in 1942 and the T date symbol. It has a 10KGP bezel, sterling base and stainless back. This is a differenct case than I am used to on the ladies watches of this time period so I will have to figure out how to get the dial out later to take a photo of it. Looks like an original band from the time but it is in bad shape so I will put a leather one on it and it needs a good cleaning. It is a 14mm band width and 34mm lug to lug and 27mm without the crown across. The Commander from a 1940 ad is the closest model I can find with what looks like the same case, numbers, hands. The Apollo from a 1947 ad is pretty close as well but has different numbers. Looking forward to hearing what you all think it might be. Thanks, Kathy
Is there a way for me to edit the date or do you that later after the panel votes?
Not your typical ebauche by FHF or AS, this one is a Felsa 335.
I've come back to this one a couple times. I think I'm going with Commander too.

In the Apollo adverts it would appear that the lugs attach clean to the case, were-as the subject watch they don't, as per the Commander.
I'm still leaning towards the Bulova Commander.

Yes they seem like very close models but I think you are right on the corners. I wonder if there might have been a case size difference.
About face - the notch just appeared. The outer sweep of the lug on the Commander appears to terminate in a notch back to the case. it is not visible in the Apollo advert but seems to be there on the Commander. I'm back to:

43 Commander
Also seeing that the Commander had the small triangles at the hour markers, the Apolo does not.
