Gucci Man Jewelry
Q.I have recently purchased a Gucci from the web site www.aatime.com. The service was very good, but i was wondering how i can tell if it is a real piece or not. It does seem to have the origanal serial number on the back. Any suggestions???
A.In this case "real" is a rather relative term. You see, Gucci does not make watches. They license watch making manufacturers to make their watches for them and put the "Gucci" brand name on them. "Gucci watches" are your regular mass produced junk watches, and use commercially available movements, that cost just a few dollars. Many, if not most of these movements are made by "ETA" in Switzerland (http://www.eta.ch/). You won't be able to get into most of the site, because you need a username and password. Another company making these mass produced movements is "Ronda" If you go to this page with all "Gucci" watches http://hwljewelers.com/ebproduct.asp?catmainid=3D915, you will see, that all of them have either ETA or Ronda movements The last page I want to send you to is=20 http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/QuartzWatchesAndBatteries.htm. "pmwf" in the URL stands for "Poor Man's Watch Forum". Here you will find an extensive list of watch brands and models, and the movements they have in them. As you will see, most of the are from ETA.
