2-Week Return Policy
If you aren't completely satisfied with the fit and finish of your watch, you may return it within 14 days of delivery—no questions asked.
Condition: To qualify for a refund (minus applicable fees), the watch must be in new, unworn condition with all original packaging.
Worn Bands: Any band showing signs of wear or creasing cannot be returned. If a watch is returned with a worn band, the replacement cost of the band will be deducted from your refund. Please check fit carefully before wearing.
Watch Pouch: If the included watch pouch shows signs of use or damage, its replacement cost will be deducted from your refund.
Shipping & Fees: Returns are subject to a 10% restocking fee. This fee applies in addition to any deductions for worn or damaged components. Buyers are responsible for insured return shipping with tracking.
Custom Orders: Bespoke dials, personalized rotors, and bespoke bands are non-refundable once production begins. Made-to-order and pre-ordered timepieces canceled prior to shipping are treated as returns and are subject to the 10% restocking fee.
Right of Inspection: Homemade reserves the right to issue a partial refund or deny a return if these conditions are not met.
To start a return: Please get in touch via the Shop/Connect page.
12-Month Limited Warranty
There is a 2 in 12, so it works :)
In the unlikely event that your watch experiences a technical issue within 12 months of purchase, send it in for free diagnostics, repair, or replacement.
Coverage: Covers assembly faults, manufacturing defects, and component failures.
Shipping: You cover insured shipping (with tracking) to me; I cover insured return shipping back to you.
What’s Not Covered
(Note: I am happy to perform some of these repairs at cost during the warranty period)
Normal wear and tear, abrasions, aging, or cosmetic tarnishing on metal-plated parts (e.g., rose gold).
Mechanical failure from impact, dropping, misuse, or exposure to extreme temperatures (e.g., leaving the watch in a hot car).
Water damage.
Date-wheel malfunction caused by adjusting the quick-set date during the "danger zone" (between 9 PM and 4 AM).
Important: Opening the caseback or attempting third-party repairs will void this warranty.

Your watch is a marvelous little machine. Like any high-performance machines, it eventually needs a professional tune-up.
I’m here to help with fair pricing, clear communication, and transparent turnaround times. Whether it's a routine service or a complex repair, let's get your timepiece back in "tick-tock" shape. In situations where I cannot complete the work, I partner with local certified watchmakers. Head over to the Shop/Connect page to get started.
A Note for the Hands-On: If you’re servicing the watch elsewhere—or even giving it a go yourself—I’m still in your corner. If you need technical specs or best practices for maintaining a Homemade, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to support the craft.

After unscrewing the crown (counterclockwise, and please BE GENTLE), the functions are as follows:
Position 1: Manual Wind (clockwise)
Position 2: Date Setting (counterclockwise) NOTE: Dateless watches (NH38) do not have this setting.
Position 3: Time (both directions)
After use, return the crown to position 1, push in, and screw down until it stops (clockwise). This is vital, as it produces a water-resistant seal.
DO NOT change the date between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m., AKA "the danger zone"
Wipe down with the provided cloth after each use. Skin oils, products, and environmental conditions will affect your watch's finish, which is not covered under warranty.
It’s typically best practice to avoid prolonged water submersion of your timepiece and to avoid saltwater. Please refer to the Water Resistance Guide for more information.
Your watch should be professionally serviced and lubricated every 5-10 years.

IMPORTANT: Sellita recommends manually winding the watch 5-10 times ONLY to get it started, and then use the rotor's motion to fully wind it.
