Outstanding find. Crusador from me.  I swear Mark you must have a way back machine cause you just keep comming up with these great old watches.

1929 Crusador from me. Three ticks. So the fatty is the Crusador and the skinny is the Templan? Also noted Crusador is in dropdown model list as "Crusader".  Is the e vs o at end of name a typo, or are there two models w/ this very similar name?  Must be typo in list or in ad below.
1930 Crusador ad and 1929 Templan ad below. I was careful not to stretch or alter original ad image pixel aspect ratio. We have case measurements on both?

I would agree with the Case difference Will.

The Model was recently added to the menu so the spelling should match the ad, if it's correct or not I'm not sure.

Crusador seems to be an unusual spelling Will, but We're not dealing with a usual Company.

How about a database "clean-up" to reflect the  "correct spelling" to "Crusador" not "Crusader"???

Ad is correct.
