After some deliberation I bought this watch today.
I saw this watch months ago in an antique store and I couldn't keep it out of my mind. So today I bought it. The movement is going to need some looking after but I bought it regardless. I think its a Schild movement but not sure.
On closer inspection the guilloche is more interesting than I expected. And the markers are cut in and gilded...not applied.
I know close to nothing about the brand so if anybody wants to express their knowledge I'm all ears.

You are probably correct considering what guilloche looks like on a Shapiro or Breguet (and the resultant prices). But I like it too and I'll get more than my moneys worth in enjoyment.
Not expensive do not mean it is rubish

I've also read through most of the threads that come up when I search "Angelus" on this site. Although most of the posts are either regarding newer Angelus watches or the obviously more desirable vintage chronographs, it still provides interesting reading...
