No hard issues when installing its origin hands?

The watch ships with an ETA 2824 clone.

The Sellitta is a ETA 2824 Clone (sans date function).

Why would there be any issues? Genuinely asking.

Spin-off not in the sense they're the same company, different companies, different shareholders

Has someone tried to swap the bb54 dial with replicas dials of vintage Tudor or Rolex submariner JAmes Bond?
Forgive my poor English and thanks for patience and kind answering.

How is going with this rep?
It's still beautiful or have fed up?
Still beautiful and I still admire it when I check the time. Practically my daily driver now for most days of the week.

Still investing in it, just purchased an Uncle Straps Senator bracelet to try which comes with a half-link that should provide a better fit.

replied to the wrong person. My bad.




Thank you for the extensive write-up. Could you tell us more about your bracelet method? Are you referring to the bike lube products Rock-N-Roll?
No problems, glad I could help.
Yes, Rock n Roll Bike lube.

Heres a link: https://amzn.asia/d/iMq7PMZ

I can also confirm since my original write up, the bracelet has remained muted and smooth, still feels gen like.

I've been using the watch as my daily wear, even leaving it on while washing my hands.

The lube seems to still be in there somewhere. Have not experienced any oily residue and no gunk build up either. Seems like it cleans itself or something. Bracelet still feels super smooth.

Clean your bracelet before hand and just place the bracelet and clasp in a zip lock bag, add the lube and a dash of johnsons baby oil, shuffle it around and really rub the stuff in.

I left it in there for a few hours so it would absorb, the longer the better I guess and I just rinsed it with water when I was done. I dried it with a cloth afterwards.

You don't need much, just enough so your not drowning it. Apparently it's formula also cleans the bracelet so that's a win win.

Great stuff, give it a go.

There is a tutorial archived online for this method somewhere, which I can't find right now to share. Will post the link if I find it.

ZF BB54 on a newly purchased Uncle Jubilee. Highley recommend.

This is the “w/ clasp” version for anyone wondering. I saw on Reddit this version is recommended for those with smaller wrists.

For normal and larger wristers the “no-clasp” version is compatible with rep “oem” clasps.

Gonna pair this with some holiday sweaters.

Unfortunately the lume in my pip fell off, not sure when or when, but I just noticed it. Does anyone have a suggestion for an easy fix? I don't mind it too much visually, but it would be nice to fix it at some point. Thanks!

@Feefo Send this guy a micron of Vaselume, but make sure it's sealed in some sort of lead crate capable of transporting nuclear waste.
