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 this model? A: It is the Gucci Change Bezel reference 1100L, a Swiss‑made quartz ladies’ watch with a 26 mm case and snap‑on interchangeable bezels so you can change the colour to suit your outfit.
Q: How do I swap the bezels safely? A: With the watch off your wrist, locate the small recess on the bezel edge, gently lift the bezel using a fingernail or a plastic pry tool, then press the new bezel on evenly until it clicks into place. Avoid metal tools to prevent scratches; if unsure, ask a professional watchmaker to assist.
Q: Are bezels from other Gucci models compatible? A: Bezels made for the 26 mm 1100L/11/12.2 models are generally compatible with this watch. Larger 30 mm bezels and other series will not fit. When sourcing extras, look for bezels specifically described for the 1100 or 11/12 series and the 26 mm size.
Q: Is this watch water resistant? A: As a vintage piece, and with this reference commonly listed as not water resistant, it should be kept away from showers, swimming and heavy rain. Vintage gaskets can also compromise any original sealing, so treat it as not water resistant.
Q: What battery does it use and how often will it need changing? A: The 1100L runs on a silver‑oxide button cell; many examples use sizes such as 364 or 377, but the exact cell should be confirmed during a professional battery replacement. Typical battery life is around 1–2 years depending on use and storage.
Q: What wrist size will it fit, and can it be adjusted? A: The bracelet measures approximately 17.5 cm in perimeter. If you require sizing advice, a professional jeweller or watchmaker can advise options for your wrist and the bracelet style of this specific piece.
Q: How should I care for the gold plating and bezels? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid abrasives, chemicals and perfumes, and store the watch and spare bezels separately in soft pouches to minimise scuffs. Keep away from moisture and extreme heat.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this piece, the watch is supplied with a box and a set of interchangeable bezels. If a specific item is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to ask us to confirm details.
Q: How do you authenticate this watch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, finishing, stamps and movement. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional product information on request.
