surprisingly, the B737-300 does not have a gear hatch on the fuselage, the wheel has a big hub cap on it and it is just about flush with the bottom of the AC.
From wikipedia
The 737 has no main landing gear doors. The main landing gear (under the wings at mid-cabin), rotate into wells in the plane's belly, and seals activate to aerodynamically smooth (or "fair") the wheels in the wells. The sides of the tires are exposed to the air in flight. When observing a 737 take off, or at low altitude, the dark circles of the tires can be plainly seen. Boeing claims that this design saves weight and reduces complexity.
