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 exact model and size of this watch? A: It is the Gucci Change Bezel reference 11/12.2 with a 26 mm case and a slim bangle bracelet. The dial is white and the movement is Swiss‑made quartz.
Q: How do the interchangeable bezels work and how do I change them safely? A: The coloured bezel is a friction‑fit ring that snaps on and off the case. Work on a soft cloth, use clean fingertips to gently lift the existing bezel from one side, then align the new bezel and press down evenly until it seats flush all around. Do not use metal tools or force; if a bezel feels tight, ask a jeweller to assist.
Q: How many bezels are included with this piece? A: This full set includes twelve interchangeable bezels. The exact colours are shown in the photos; everything included is listed under the product information section.
Q: Are bezels from other Gucci models compatible with this watch? A: Many 26 mm bezels made for the Gucci 11/12 and 1100L series will fit the 11/12.2, but tolerances can vary by production run and by aftermarket pieces. Test gently and never force a bezel; if in doubt, consult a jeweller.
Q: What is the wrist fit and can the bangle be adjusted? A: It fits a wrist up to approximately 18 cm. The bangle itself has limited adjustability, but third‑party extenders exist for the 11/12/1100 series. These can add a small amount of length and must be purchased and fitted separately unless shown in the product information.
Q: Is the watch water‑resistant? A: As a vintage, gold‑plated bangle watch, water resistance cannot be guaranteed. We recommend avoiding bathing, swimming and steam. If you need improved sealing, a watchmaker can replace gaskets and perform a pressure test, but we still advise treating it as splash‑only at most.
Q: What movement and battery does it use, and how often will it need a replacement? A: It houses a Swiss quartz movement. Battery life typically ranges from about 1–3 years depending on use. Because cell size can vary by movement batch, we recommend professional battery replacement and a seal check by a qualified watchmaker.
Q: What are the bezels made of and how should I care for them? A: Most coloured bezels for this model are resin/plastic; some metallic‑tone options may be coated. Avoid solvents, perfume, and prolonged UV exposure; wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store bezels separately to prevent scratches.
Q: How do I care for the gold‑plated case and bracelet? A: Light surface marks and slight colour variation are normal with vintage plating. Avoid abrasive polishing compounds. After wear, wipe gently with a soft cloth. Remove the watch for vigorous activity to minimise friction and preserve the plating.
Q: How do you verify authenticity? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hallmarks and movement. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional details on request.
