Hello! I have this Gucci watch with me, it was gifted to me years ago. I need to know if it is authentic or not. At the back of the watch it says Code Ref 1142 Swiss Made Unique serial # DY119126568

SOURCE: Is my watch authentic?

no need for serial number- look on the dial, if the 'x' marking the ten o'clock has 'cartier' written on it, your watch should most definately be authentic.

How to distinguish from genuine to fake are first the weight the genuine is heavier than the fake . Secondly the color the fake is too shiney while genuine is not dull.Thirdly the markings the fake is the letter is very thin and not too deep while genuine is bold letter and deep markings.

Hope it may helps:

Get a #0 1.6mm precision Phillps screwdriver (these are brittle) or similarly strong, thin piece of steel.

Hold the watch upside-down across your index finger while gripping the straps tightly between your index finger and thumb on one side, and index finger and middle finger on the other (ie. squeeze the strap around your index finger).

On the underside of the watch, stick the tip of the screwdriver under a square slot where the watchband is connected at an angle perpendicular to the strap. Firmly pry upwards on the cover on one side, then the other, until the cover pops off.

The battery is a Renata 379.

To put the cover back on, align the square slots precisely with the ends of the straps (keep these out straight), then firmly push the cover straight down until it "snaps" shut.

Most watches are either screwed on and typically have a series of small notches around the circumference of the case back. A special tool is generally called for. Otherwise they are "snap back" . These are simply pressed on. To remove you can carefully use a regular knife in the absence of a "case knife". There is usually a small gap/groove/notch area to insert the balde and lift the back off.
