Guys

On a dutch forum I was asked to take a look at this Cadette

I haven't seen this caseback before and the owner says the case is not SS but some alloy ?
As I thought that I saw traces of gold I asked about whether or not it was gold plated but the oweners says no , and there's no 'Plaque 20G' either between the lugs

Whats your thoughts ?

Very unusual. I'd be worried mostly by the fact the movement bridge is plain and in 1950 it would have been stamped Breitling.

Dial obviously looks OK, caseback markings look right, but the style / material doesn't make sense, and agree with Paul that the movement doesn't look right. Wouldn't want to have my money in it, but would like ot know the story.
