Hi all Can someone help me identify this Premier and tell if it is an original? Also what you think about it’s condition - it does have some scratches. I’ve asked for photos of the caseback, serial number and movement and can follow up with these later. All the best, Jacob |

at least a redial & incorrect hands, but I don't recognize the lugs shape, so will be interesting to see the caseback |

Hi again Now I received the other photos attached here. I’m thinking that it isn’t a good sign that there is no 6-digit number on the caseback and no “Breitling” tag on the movement - but maybe the watch is before these things were used? I’m looking forward to your comments? Best, Jacob |

actually the unsigned movement woulkd be fine until ca. 1944/45 (even appears in some later perfectly correct watches, reason still unclear), but the "U-shape" bridge would only be correct until ca. 1940/41, years before the Premier branding was used on dials. to sum it up: 100% fake, as assumed |

Thank you Fred! Do you know a good site, page or book that you can recommend for looking up all the premier references? |

Can't recall seeing that on a Breitling before. |
