Hi Tahl,
That's a very handsome watch! Do you by chance have a way (perhaps Digital Calipers?) to measure the length and width of the crystal, on this timepiece? The case appears to be almost identical to this watch??
Please view: http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1936-physician-1647
and also the related crystal specs. I posted in the comments, below...
THANKS :-) Scott
Hmmmm. . . it appears that we don't have any support for this ID? Anyone have an ad that shows a 1933 Gladiator with this case?
Tahl - can you tell us how you made this ID?
Its not 1933. Can you please update this to the correct year.
Admin -
I have the same watch (well, the same case, at least), and it too dates to 1933, unless there's some other year associated with the "X" symbol? I listed mine today under 1933 - Unknown. Any help identifying would be greatly appreciated.

Ohhh, I just realized that there's also an "X" for 1943. Can't believe I missed that!
Here's an ad for a 1943 Commodore. Case shape look right, except it doesn't show a recessed crown.
This watch has since been identified as a 1933 Oakley.
I didn't think the Oakley had numerals. Mine has hash marks.
Not the Gladiator, or the Oakley.
September 1934 ad from Lisa.
The "OXFORD".
Sure looks like the Oxford graphic to me, although I can't read the text very well. I do think i see 21 jewel for Oxford though.
