I believe we have the "Windsor"... first applied numbers dial we've seen. Sporting a really different 13 AF that is shaped like a 7 series.. pretty interesting.
Usually these applied numbers are in that transitional time around 1929-1930' ish where the watches will have an either or... curious if it was a choice for the buyer at the jeweler?
It certainly looks to be a match to the Windsor but with an applied hour marker dial.

Cool watch Jerin - I always loved that case with those arrows. Replacement dial could also be just a survivor or maybe it came that way. 1929 Bulova Windsor
1929 Windsor
Based on other models from this era, I think it's safe to conclude the Windsor likely was offered with both radium and "Dress" dials.

A really cool model.

I think this is the 'CROMWELL'
Why? The sub-seconds dial of the subject watch is fully obscuring the 6, as in the 1929 'CROMWELL' ad. n the 'WINDSOR' ad part of the sub-dial shows.
in the 'WINDSOR' ad part of the sub-dial shows.
* another tell is the curvature of the Case bezel, the subject watch bezel is flat, no curve.
the 'WINDSOR' has a curve to the bezel, accepting a MX type crystal.
I would also venture to say that the case of the subject watch is slightly narrower than the case of the 'WINDSOR'
I think that looks correct FifthAvenueRes. Would be nice to get measurements on both from you and Jerin.

Once You see the differences You can't not see them.
