warranty/use & care

2-Week No Questions Asked Returns:
If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with the fit and finish, please utilize our 2-week no-questions-asked returns policy. The watch must be in new and unworn condition to be eligible for a refund, with all original packaging intact. The buyer is responsible for the insured return shipping cost, including tracking, and a 10% restocking fee. Homemade reserves the right to deny a return or issue a partial refund if these terms are unmet. Please use the contact form under Shop/Connect to start a return.
12-Month Limited Warranty:
There is a 2 in 12, so it works :) Anyway, in the unlikely event that your watch acts a fool within 12 months of purchase, please send it to me for a free diagnostic, repair, or replacement. You pay the insured (with tracking) shipping to me; I pay the insured shipping back to you. This limited warranty covers assembly/manufacturing faults, failures, or defects. This warranty does not cover issues such as the following, but please note that I will repair any of these issues at cost during the warranty period.
Damage due to improper care or expected consequences of use, such as abrasions and aging.
Mechanical failure from impact, mishandling, or extreme temperatures (e.g., leaving the timepiece in a hot car).
Water damage. I can repair it at cost in the unlikely event it happens.
Malfunction of the quick set date function due to poor mechanical care (e.g., changing the date between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m., AKA “the danger zone”)
The warranty is voided if the watch is opened by anyone other than me.
2-Year Fresh-Up & Check-Up:
Send your watch to me within 2 years of purchasing for a complimentary exterior cleaning, strap change (you supply the strap), caseback gasket replacement, and time regulation. You pay for insured (with tracking) shipping to me, and I pay for insured shipping back to you.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-Metal-plated parts (e.g., Rose Gold) are excluded from warranty because they will tarnish over time and require re-plating based on many factors, including use and daily care.

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.
