The watch is a Doris. 
 

I mentioned to you that there is more to tell about the case serial numbers. One of the things is that Bulova started the year 1930 with a 3, not a 0. This Doris is an example. You can easily check it yourself with the search function in this database: there are no watches starting with 000. But there are a few with 300 and they are all Art Deco models not available anymore in 1933. Like this Doris. After the initial 300 series, they did switch to using the 0 for the year 1930, hence you will find cases starting with a 0 as from 002.....
