Gucci105 Series 26mm Bangle Watch

Q: What wrist size does this Gucci 105 Series 26mm Bangle Watch fit?
A: This watch is listed to fit a wrist up to 16.5 cm. Because it is a bangle-style design rather than a flexible strap, the fit is more fixed, so we recommend comparing your wrist measurement with the stated size before purchasing.

Q: How does the 26mm case wear on the wrist?
A: A 26mm case gives this watch a compact, elegant, jewellery-like look. It is ideal if you prefer a refined vintage silhouette rather than an oversized watch.

Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic?
A: This Gucci 105 Series is a quartz watch, so it is battery-powered rather than automatic. That makes it easy to wear without winding; if it is not running, it will typically need a battery change or servicing.

Q: What materials and details does this watch feature?
A: This piece has a stainless steel case and bangle, a red crystal embellished bezel, and a white dial with silver-tone hands. Its slim bangle construction gives it the feel of both a watch and a piece of vintage jewellery.

Q: Can I wear this watch in water?
A: We recommend treating vintage watches with care around water. Even if a watch was originally designed with water resistance, that protection can reduce over time, so it is best to avoid showering, swimming, or submerging it unless it has been professionally pressure-tested very recently.

Q: How should I care for the stainless steel bangle and bezel?
A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after wear to remove fingerprints and moisture. Avoid perfumes, detergents, solvents, and abrasive cleaners. If a deeper clean is needed, professional watch cleaning is the safest option for a vintage piece with decorative bezel detailing.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: It is described as being in very good condition overall, with very good internal and external condition. The hardware remains shiny and shows light scratches consistent with careful previous wear.

Q: What is included with this watch?
A: This watch comes with a box. Everything included with the item is listed in the product information, so if something is not noted there, it should not be assumed to be included.

Q: Can the bangle be adjusted?
A: Bangle watches usually offer less flexibility than standard link bracelets or leather straps. For this piece, the most important guide is the stated fit of 16.5 cm or smaller, so please use that measurement as the main sizing reference.

Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Gucci watch like this one?
A: At A Retro Tale, vintage designer pieces are checked by in-house experts before sale. For watches like this, authentication typically involves assessing the overall construction, dial details, engravings, reference markings, materials, and consistency of the design with the model.
