Well I got my Gucci Watch Back

RibbonsRosesRainbows · ‎05-12-2014

Repair was $50 but it was special made being that you could not get the leather band in red and they did that for me at Gucci...........I have had it since 1998.............$70 plus tax and it has a 6 month warranity. It is the red band but the face is a turn over dial........with G being on the other side of the watch. Well it is a bracelet type watch but I am happy to have it back.............I hate though that I spent $70........but it was expensive so I might as well wear it...........happy holidays to me, my gift to myself.

Good for you. I have two Gucci watches that my DH got me in the 80's. I need to put new batteries in them but I have to take them to a jeweler. I should do that one day. Thanks for the reminder.

Happy Holidays to you.

I never owned a Gucci Watch but back in the 80's my boss and his wife went to Europe and they brought me a Gucci Wallet that I loved and it wore for years and years. If you own an expensive piece of jewelry it is worth spending money to maintain it.

They were very big Sweet 16 and graduation presents in the 80's. I remember my younger sister and all her friends had one.

My brother gave me my Gucci watch for Christmas back in 1996 and I still wear almost daily. No repairs just a new battery from time to time at the jewelers'. Just got one about a month ago for free since I buy the warranty. Good thing that battery only lasted about 14 months.

I, unfortunately, had two Gucci watches in my lifetime, and I will NEVER have another!

I had the popular bracelet watch with interchangeable bezels. I remember QVC had a an almost identical knock-off for about a 1/3 of the price.

If you are going to buy a status watch, buy one from a company known as a watchmaker.

Is a "Gucci watch" considered a "status watch"?

Not in the world of watches but for many, anything Gucci is status.

If you look at the watches they have for sale now, most look like knock-offs of more famous watch makers.

Isn't it great when you get something repaired that you love and can continue to use it? ${#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}$ Hope life is going well for you, RRR.
