Our Take
Although Gucci is actually an Italian company, their watches are produced and assembled in Switzerland, which only says one thing, quality. During the ’90s the Gucci watch market exploded and the 8000L ladies model was amongst those produced. The uniquely designed rounded steel case with cascading gold plated bezel with the ‘Gucci’ logo makes it stand out from the crowd, this one measuring around 28mm in diameter and 34mm from lug to lug. It has a mineral crystal protecting the gold dial and gold sword-shaped hands, stick numerals and quick set date at 6 o’clock position. The steel back case does have a few light scratches and is marked with the logo and model/s/n 8000L #0018176. The original gold crown is signed with the logo and sets the time. The original strap had to be replaced, we used a brown genuine leather bracelet with gold buckle, and it will fit a wrist size of 7.5” or 19cm approximately. Overall, a nice watch, with plenty of wear still in it, but also plenty of wear to it. The watch comes without the original box or papers but a gift box will accompany it. Water-resistance cannot be guaranteed.
