Hi All,
I've been after a cadette for ages and have just seen this one at a local auction... The face and serial numbers seem OK to me and date it to around 1949. Just a little bit unsure.

movement shot would be good to have, but looks legit.
logo on caseback probably a later addition, second hand might be a replacement.

Agree with all of that, chrono seconds definitely a replacement. Wouldn't risk it without seeing the movement, but that's just me.
