Took a gamble:
Caseback is known to be stamped on the outside - B-10K Rolled Gold Plate
0273122
Unknown if the inner Caseback is stamped - 17 Jewel Movement (center Seconds 10''' ?) Dial looks original and authentic.

The watch being discussed appears to be a REGULATOR, per the 1st 1941 add in the ad data set! I have been looking for one for some time . The lugs are add ons to the case on the Practitioner and Buckingham. The lugs on your example are a part of the bezel/case. In addition the case has a step on each side , like the Regulator. There is a discussion of the Medical Officer and Regulator in this thread:

A regulator was also a precision clock maintained at designated RR Stations or jewelry stores for use in scheduling trains before the US established time zones. Reason, every town kept its own time putting trains on the same track in danger of colliding, since there were not many tracks and sidings. So the various RR lines got together and desinated Regulator Clock sites, started publishing schedules, engineers and conductors made certain their watches good for the area where the train was operating . Eventually the telegraph was added to regulator clocks and saftey improved, and you can imagine the rest.

This is not The Medical Officer or The Regulator. Check the shape of the crystal. It has a distinctly Bulova look to it and I'm hoping that it's something that we haven't seen yet.
