I believe that this style had a plain crystal, no bevelled sides etc. This size crystal fits many bulova models, some are flat some have a ptched centre, some are like this and some have a domed top, all are invariably the same dimensions, basically you can pick and choose which you think looks nicest with these.
Just a few GS numbers to throw out there cmx 326-35F (quartered with pointed centre) CMX326-35G (pitched across the middle width ways) CMX326-35 (domed across) CMX 325-36 (bevelled sides)
I agree with the assumption that the dial would make it a X varient. I have seen other "academy watches" with this cross dial too.
I have a good collection of mens academy's 3/4 different kinds of mens and two kinds of ladies, all mens rectangular ones seem to take a flat top crystal. I have not yet found a replacement that doesn't sit up some.
HMMM... Academy case, the '49 (7AA) movement (Applied Gold Numerals) and NOT an "X" dial?! Here we see YET ANOTHER variable, on the "for sale to the general public" theme???
I may well have an ad snipet of an "SS?" BUT, does ANYONE have an "applied gold numeral" ORIGINAL 1950, 51 or '52 dial, in this case... with a 7AA or AK???
Perhaps Shawn, Gary and/or someone else has had one+ of these???
Best :-) Scott
