these are among the favorites of our dear Frankenfakers in Argentina, Italy and Turkey, so I thought I'd share some pics of a recent arrival, an 18k
"Cadette" with an untouched dial.

No dual caseback, of course :wink:, but a relatively massive 18k case, very similar to the 18k Premier; interesting to see that many clearly correct 1950s pieces of the 11xx line of lever movement chronographs do have an applied logo, be it the cursive "B" or this applied and slightly surprisingly slanting "Breitling" script.

Excellent piece and incredible condition. Judging by that case back it has spent a long time sitting unworn.
