Darren,
Not really - 1931 seems to be a time of change. If You note the Case designs of the 1920's were evolving into the sleeker styles of the 1930's.
In this time it's possible Bulova were using up what inventory of 'old style' Dials they had - pure speculation.
The Movement block of this Watch fits the bezel perfectly.
The 'wear marks' around the perimeter of the Dial itself, although not blatent match the bezel opening 100% with no signs of this Dial being in any other Case.
...and there's the second 'UNKNOWN' belonging to Mr Baker with an identical Dial.
I have no reason to doubt its authenticity in this instance.
