If its a stainless steel case and only says 18K on the back case without any hallmarks accompanying it; then my friend, you have a fake.

Hallmarks are a moot point in the case of a SS case stamped with 18K. We have all seen them and know what they are...junk

Yes, if they are 18k gold cases; there would also be other proper Hallmarks too. Of course, Stainless Steel cases could not bear such a stamp.
