I would imagine the location of this watch (Uruguay) would speak volumes as to its aunthecity. I will post the pics and I am sure the experts will give us their opinions. |

I'm not competent enough to comment the movement, but other parts look good to me. |

The lack of Breitling on the bridge doesn't bother me - they often didn't in watches of this age. I am rather more concerned about HXW on the balance cock - indicates that the movement was made for some company by the name of Joseph Boillat, fils, Louis. That + Uruguay = Nuff said! |
