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 model is this and what are its measurements? A: This is the Gucci Change Bezel watch, reference 11/12.2, with a 26 mm case and a slim bangle bracelet. This piece is best for wrists up to approximately 17 cm, as stated on this page.
Q: What comes with this watch? A: Everything included is shown and listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, that includes the branded box and eleven interchangeable bezels. If an item isn’t pictured or mentioned there, it is not included.
Q: Are the interchangeable bezels easy to swap? A: Yes. The 11/12.2 uses a simple change-bezel system. Gently twist to release and lift off the current bezel, then align the replacement and press/turn until it seats securely with a light click. Do not use metal tools or force; if a bezel feels tight, stop and try again with clean, dry hands.
Q: Are bezels from other Gucci models compatible? A: Most bezels made for the vintage Gucci 26 mm change-bezel line (commonly marked 1100/1100L/11‑12/11‑12.2) are cross‑compatible. Tolerances can vary by production run, so check sizing carefully; if buying spares, look for parts specifically listed for 26 mm 1100/11/12.2 models.
Q: Is this watch water resistant? A: Vintage Gucci change‑bezel watches are not designed for swimming or bathing and are generally described as not water resistant. Avoid contact with water, steam, and high humidity to preserve the gaskets, dial, and bezels.
Q: What movement does it use and how often will it need a new battery? A: It runs on a Swiss quartz movement. Typical quartz watch batteries last about 2–5 years, depending on use and functions. We recommend battery changes and pressure checks (if applicable) by a professional watchmaker.
Q: Can the bangle bracelet be resized? A: The bangle style is largely size‑specific and not easily adjustable like a strap. Some examples have small removable links or aftermarket extenders exist, but modification options are limited; a jeweller can advise on what’s feasible for your wrist. As offered here, it suits wrists up to about 17 cm.
Q: Are the bezels plastic or metal? A: Both exist. Many sets include coloured resin/plastic bezels, and some editions or replacement sets include metal‑finish bezels. This set’s bezels are as photographed in the product images.
Q: How should I care for the watch and bezels? A: Wipe the case and bezels with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Keep bezels clean and dry, and avoid perfumes, solvents, and prolonged sun exposure that may discolour plastics. Store the watch and bezels in their box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
