Hi! to all! Well, there is definitely nothing on the back of the watch, even with the help of a very good magnifying glass. Possibly hidden by the strap...? Don't think so. I have asked to Kyle L - who posted a picture of a similar watch he sold a few years ago - where was the french hallmark, and he answered it was inside the case. So, wait and see for the proofs! One thing I am sure of - no proofs needed - is that my husband is gonna to be thrilled with the watch, anyway. Two more days to wait , and it will be his!!! When the watch will be opened - some day - I'll keep you informed , in case you were still interested! I love the forum - by the way !
