Curious if anyone knew if the case back labeling was a peel-away cling sticker or actually printed directly onto the crystal? I'm wishing for the peel-away like I've had with other timepieces. I enjoy the unobstructed view of the movement. Thanks!

adamkacenjarI have another version of this Mondaine watch. The printing on the caseback is printed on the glass. You cannot remove it.

rberg6868What a shame. It looks tacky. Not a dealbreaker I guess since it's the caseback anyway, but when you have a nice swiss movement you'd think you want it displayed nicely. Much of the same writing could be etched onto the case itself.

adamkacenjarA bit late to the discussion but, to add my 2 cents, agreed that the printing on the crystal marred what could be an otherwise beautiful view of the movement. Not that anyone would necessarily want to put the extra work into a brand new watch, but any decent watchmaker/jeweler or even a watch modder could replace that caseback crystal with a plain one without much fuss.
