What and when did you pay for the watch. This will tell if it is gold or gold plated.
If its stamped "metal" it usually means something other than gold or silver - such as chrome. It could mean that the outer portion on the back of your watch is 14/k but the inside layer is something else. If that were the case then I am unsure if advertising the watch to be 14k is actually correct or not? Try pulling up the specs or manual that should have come with that watch on line and see what it says about what it is made of?
That's what I worries me. I don't know how you can have one side to be 14K and the other side "Metal". If it's not all 14K, it should not have the 14K stamp period. Vicence used to only make gold watches. Now they have 14K case+stainless steel backs, but they are normally clearly hallmarked as so.
If the whole back is all gold, why bother to stamp "metal" on the inside? I am planning on selling the watch case as scrap, that's why I am concerned. The back feels very heavy.
The watch casing is white gold. The back is stainless as in most watches. They do t put a soft metal on the back because if they have to get into it to get to the mechanics, the backing will get damaged. I have an original Vincence diamond and white gold watch. The back has always been stainless.

My Friend your watch is Fake.I cant find a site with this company.
I hope you buy this watch...
I have a Vicence Watch as well. In trying to replace the battery, the back would not come off and the 14K started Peeling off - like aluminum foil. That part tests at 14k but the rest of the back plate is base metal. Not sure about the actual watch case but I am afraid to mess with it too much. It does test as 14k but again it might be only the surface. Does anyone know how to contact Vicence. they seem to be selling only through QVC now and there seems to be little to no customer support. I did get the battery replaced finally and the watch still looks very nice but I no longer have the hallmark to prove what it is. I would love to get a replacement back piece for it. Any help would be great!
Hello sounds like a gaf / knock off the 14k /( 585 ) european measurement. if its a 14k case it would be inside and out . take it to any pawn shop and have it tested and you will know for sure at no cost to you . but sounds like fake. good luck hope its the real thing
