In which case we know that it's definitely wrong because Breitling never used double casebacks.


As an aside to the core discussion, are you absolutely sure they didn't?



Yes.

It's been discussed here before and the only person prepared to make an argument in favour of double caseback Breitlings was a former memebr who was trying to sell some. None of the experts here have ever come across a genuine double caseback Breitling and I am absolutely certain that there never were any.

. . . and I don't really know where to look for it, are the contemporary rules for marking "Chronographe Suisse" watches in the 1940s and 1950s. I don't know if it was an industry guideline or a Swiss law, but the gold content could be deceptive to buyers in the 1940s, just as now.

In other words, "Chronographe Suisse" was a recognized and regulated market segment, to which Breitling never belonged.

I wonder if a note to the FHS might turn something up.
