Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is the Gucci Change Bezel 26mm ca 2000 watch? A: It’s a vintage, Swiss‑made Gucci quartz watch from around 2000 with a petite 26mm case, white dial and gold‑tone hardware. Its signature snap‑on “Change Bezel” system lets you swap coloured bezels to transform the look in seconds—perfect for a refined, jewellery‑like aesthetic on smaller wrists.
Q: How do I change the bezels safely without damaging the watch? A: Place the watch on a soft cloth. Gently lift the current bezel at the small notch using your fingertip (avoid metal tools). Align the new bezel over the case and press down evenly until it seats flush with a soft click. If it feels tight, check alignment and try again—do not force it.
Q: Which bezels are compatible with this 26mm model? A: Use bezels specifically made for Gucci Change Bezel watches in the 26mm size; other sizes (e.g., 33mm) will not fit correctly. When buying extras, ensure they are genuine Gucci parts listed for the 26mm version to guarantee proper fit and finish.
Q: What are the bezels made of and how should I care for them? A: Most Change Bezel sets feature coloured resin/acrylic bezels (some may include metallic tones). Resin can show light wear over time and may fade with strong UV, perfumes, solvents or abrasive cleaners. Wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store away from heat, chemicals and direct sunlight. Keep bezels separate to avoid scratches.
Q: Is the watch water‑resistant and can I wear it in the rain or swim with it? A: As a vintage piece, water resistance cannot be guaranteed. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best and avoid submersion, swimming or showering. If light moisture resistance is desired, have the gaskets inspected/replaced by an authorised watchmaker and keep the crown fully pushed in.
Q: What movement and battery does it use, and how long will the battery last? A: It uses a Swiss quartz movement. Many similar Gucci models take a 1.55V silver‑oxide cell such as 377/SR626SW, but please have a professional confirm the exact battery for this specific watch. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years depending on use and storage.
Q: How do I set the time on this quartz watch? A: Gently pull the crown out to the time‑setting position and turn the hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in firmly when finished. This model is usually time‑only (no date), so there’s no date‑setting step to worry about.
Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can the bracelet be resized? A: This piece fits a wrist of approximately 15.75 cm or smaller. The bracelet for Change Bezel models is generally fixed in size and not designed for easy resizing. If you’re unsure, share your wrist measurement and we’ll advise fit options for this model family.
Q: What’s included, and can I find extra bezels? A: This listing is delivered with its box and 6 interchangeable bezels as stated. Additional bezels can often be sourced via vintage marketplaces or specialist dealers—always confirm they are genuine Gucci parts for the 26mm Change Bezel model.
Q: Is it authentic, and what warranty/shipping do you offer? A: A Retro Tale rigorously authenticates every item and guarantees 100% originality. All watches include a 12‑month movement guarantee. We offer free, fully insured DHL shipping, a 14‑day return policy, and 0% customs fees for EU buyers; contact us for any specific delivery or warranty questions.
