Looks good to me. What do you experts think?

The breitling on the signature is printed. Should this be signed? Sorry, just took a second look.

It appears to have a chrome-plated case, which is wrong. I think it's 100% bogus, but shows high skill in bogosity.

Bill, where do you see signs of plating ?
bridge marking is clearly wrong for an early 50s Premier.

I'm not seeing the plating either, but don't like the watch. Dial is in remarkably good condition for supposedly 60 years old, stamping is very crisp, movement definitely wrong.

I was going on the basis of "STAINLESS STEEL BACK" on the inside caseback. It's a very nice job of plating.

you are right Bill, this points to a basel metal case, chromed or GP.

still see no evidence of rechroming, outstanding work.
