Hi all, 

So, finally got around to starting with this Sellita branded golden watch. After opening the case I was very curious to know which caliber Sellita uses in it's own watches, couldn't find anything on the movement side. On the dial side however, the marking of a star can be found with the number 180. 

But.... million dollar question; what brand and caliber is this?! Hopefully you can help me out so I can bring this one to life (watch didn't run, and apparently didn't come with a mainspring in the barrel XD).

Many thanks!

Return bar has an indent which supports the set lever in set position, so set mech works decently dispite its damage.

    • Thanks Mark. I think I’ll leave the beat error for now - it’s a fixed stud so I’d have to adjust the collet position.    The watch has bigger problems. On reassembly I’ve found that the hour counter reset hammer is broken - I didn’t do it, the main hammer part was just not there. Can’t easily identify a replacement part. And the subdial hands. The running seconds hand needs an extended pivot tube as the pivot is below dial level. Can’t find one of them either. I’ve found a central seconds hand that might fit it - going to have a go at cutting, filing and polishing it to make it work. 
    • Good morning. I have a Caliber 11DO 17 Jewel that I utterly destroyed practicing on. My question is this. Are the 17j and 7j compatible in relation to swapping out parts such as the Wheel Train and Balance? Thank you in advance. 
    • Ah ok thanks , i see thing differently now. Won't that catch the wheel rim though ?
    • No Mark it does not offend me. I think I have already started another thread on the matter before you replied. But since you are unwilling to discuss it with us, I will discontinue posting there.  Thank you for considering it though. That's a good policy to have H , you should always safeguard yourself. Knowing who you can trust and who you can't is not a permanent thing. People's values change, people change and adapt to their situations,thats just nature stepping in and running the show. Not everyone is as genuine as you are H. The new no advertising looks much better, it never bothered me much, but it still feels cleaner.  I'm pleased that your thread regarding the missing images was also returned, so thats good news as well. It appears a lot of mine have also been removed ...oh well...🤷‍♂️
