Got a question? Chances are, someone’s asked it before. Look below for some of the most common questions.
Yes, there are always other strap color options and usually options for different patterns and materials.
There might be an upcharge. If the watch is from the Selco Geneve or A*Belle line then there are probably color options at no additional charge but if you are looking for something specific, there is likely to be an upcharge. If Selco sources the strap, it could slow the order down a little but there are great companies in the U.S. that supply great strap and band options. Contact Selco for details.

ATM stands for Atmospheres. It is a measurement of the amount of pressure a watch can withstand. 1 ATM = 10 meters or 33.3 feet. A watch must be at least 3 ATM (30 meters or 100 feet) to be considered water resistant. Watches typically range from 3 ATM to 10 ATM for entry level divers watches and up to 20,000 ATM, only from our partner, CX Swiss Military.
Watches are never considered watch proof because there is always a condition in which water can get in, and once it does, the face and inner workings will be ruined. The term water resistant is used instead. Usually when a watch that is water resistant gets water inside, it is cause by a case back not installed properly, a crown not pushed in fully or a screw down crown not screwed in properly.
Selco can make a new dial for and cover the date or day/date window for many watches but not all. The replacement dial can be a flat dial with printed markers and a printed logo or it can be a die struck medallion dial with a raised and polished logo. Not all watch lines permit dial replacement so contact Selco for details.

Many brands have rules on how their product can be decorated and Selco keeps track of these rules to keep your warranty in force. Selco is a dial manufacturer but some of our partners will not warranty a watch if the dial is changed out while others brands are okay with the change. Although we do not run into it often, some brands have restrictions on logos from certain industries. Selco can walk you through the process to ensure there are not any surprises with the brand you chose.
Selco has access to nearly all of the watches provided by each brand. Because we work with so many brands, and each brand offers a large selection, we try to support best sellers and watches that fill a price point of gap in our overall lineup on our website.

In 2020, Selco added hot stamping including the capability to foil stamp.
Yes, Selco has many partners that offer wearable technology. Selco can supply activity trackers, full WearOS Watches (formerly Adroid Wear), and hybrids from many of our partner brands. Selco can customize many of these items either on straps, on packaging and in a few cases, on the face.
Selco does not have any university or corporate licenses. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure they have the right to use the logo they are providing. Selco might question the right of the buyer to use the logo if the address does not seem to match with a reasonable use for the license holder.
If the watch is initially provided by one of our partners that has certified Selco to work on their watch, then your warranty is still in tact. If we feel the watch will not be under after we customize it, we will warn you of our concern.

Case Studies
Rewarding Safety
A large oil company needed to reduce employee safety incidents. The company established a safety program using watches as a reward for qualifying employees. After 10 years, the program is still going strong and the number of incidents has diminished so significantly that the company has earned a National Safety Award.
Boosting Sales
A large automotive dealership wanted a way to recognize top sales associates in a continual program. Selco created a custom die-struck medallion dial specifically for the dealership. After achieving a specific dollar amount sold, sales associates were awarded the watch with their name engraved on the back. After additional sales goals are met, the watches are sent in to have diamonds added. Top performers strive to get all 12 diamonds added to their watch. This program created a healthy competition that has resulted in more high earners for the company.
Raising Funds
A college wanted to honor past football players and raise money for the athletic department. A custom watch was the answer! The watch included the player’s name, jersey number, and years played. The former players responded in droves. The initial order was well over 100 watches and additional orders continued to come in. The players had a unique piece of their college history and the athletic department raised additional funds.
