Based on new information I propose this is a Bulova Wilson.  The ad is 1940 and we have two with this Curvex case ID'd as Wilson.

WILSON

I would agree, the '37 'PRESIDENT' case is much different, along the lines of the 'TREASURER'.

'WILSON'

The dials don't match.

The Wilson, certainly looks to match the advert. Merc what's the issue with the dial?

It's nice to finally put a proper name to this beauty.

1935 Bulova Wilson.

There's a partial "6" under the sub-seconds track on the "Wilson" dial that's not on the subject watch. And the subject watch appears to have an original dial that hasn't been refurbed.

"Bulova" is below the "11" and "1" on the Wilson dial and above them on the subject watch.

Artist rendition issue perhaps?  The ad is a drawing.
