Very Good Condition
Perfect for weekday meetings and weekend brunches alike, this vintage Gucci Change Bezel 26mm watch brings refined versatility. The white dial and gold-plated bangle strap feel elegant, while the interchangeable bezels let you adapt the look from understated to playful in seconds. In very good condition, it’s a chic finishing touch for everything from tailored suiting to a little black dress.
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 size is the case and who does it fit? A: The case measures 26 mm across. This bangle version fits a wrist up to about 16 cm and is not designed for micro‑adjustment. Vintage 11/12 bracelets were produced in fixed sizes, so please measure your wrist; professional resizing options are limited.
Q: How do I change the bezels safely? A: Work over a soft cloth. Gently lift the fitted bezel from the edge with your fingertips, then align and press the new bezel on evenly until it sits flush. Do not lever against the crystal; if a bezel feels tight, ask a jeweller to assist.
Q: Are bezels from other Gucci models compatible with this watch? A: Compatibility is size‑specific. This watch uses 26 mm bezels from the 11/12 family (often marked 1100L/1200L/11/12). Bezels from other sizes, such as 30 mm, will not fit. Always confirm the size before buying extra bezels.
Q: Is it water resistant? A: Vintage change‑bezel models in the 11/12/1100L family are not water resistant. Avoid showering, swimming, or exposing the watch and bezels to water, steam, or chemicals.
Q: What movement does it use and how long will the battery last? A: It uses a Swiss quartz movement. Typical battery life is around 1–2 years depending on use. For battery replacement, we recommend a qualified watchmaker to prevent marks on the gold‑plated bezel and to refit seals correctly.
Q: How do I set the time? A: Pull the crown out one click, turn to set the time, then push the crown back in. This model does not have a date display.
Q: What is included with this piece? A: As listed in the product information, this watch comes with the box and a set of 12 interchangeable bezels. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Can the bangle be resized? A: The bracelet is a rigid bangle with a clasp and is not designed for traditional link removal. Some watchmakers may source alternative bracelet halves or size variants, but options are limited; we recommend choosing based on the stated wrist fit.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑plated finish and coloured bezels? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear; keep away from perfumes, lotions, and prolonged sunlight. Store the watch separately and place bezels in their tray to avoid scratches.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this watch? A: Every piece is inspected by our specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, finishing, dial and case markings, serial and reference numbers, and movement, and is backed by our authenticity guarantee.
