Hello......, i just came across a Breitling watch and I'm dont have any idea what it is.
Its a chrono with 2 subdials. It have "B" logo and below it is the word Breitling. However, theres a "premier" written above the 6 o'clock marker. All the photos I found on the net have the word "premier" written after the brand.

However, the casebqck have the serial number 706053 and below it 797.

Thank you

looks to be an old (and good) refinish; logo & positioning of "Premier" are wrong for a 1947 piece.

not a fake, but that dial seems restored and "refinished" - i.e. "repainted" during a service years ago.
here's a 797 for you to compare:
