Thanks. I made up my mind and will get soon!! Thanks for the advice!!

Very nice! Will get one when I'll be back home thanks to the advices of the WC community 😉 enjoy your watch! https://www.watchcrunch.com/lansine/posts/new-on-board-seeking-for-advice-on-military-watch-219606

It definitely doesn't look like a lady's watch. However, I find it personally too small for a daily use. I would wear it on occasions. Also, a watch must fit with you, your personality and your style. You have to feel comfortable and confident wearing it. if you are already asking yourself if it's a good fit and have doubts, it might not been the one for you. I personally apply this method (learned from a book) when purchasing clothes and accessories. It's only my opinion. Good luck!

I sold it anyway 😉 what's the value of the watch new? Service and bezel for 600$ and you have a brand new watch

I would have the watch polished in a small watchmaking company. In my opinion, it's the first step to take because they will tell you straight away if it can be polished or not. If it cannot, then the NJ option but I would insist that for this price, they polish the whole watch before replacing the bezel so you end up with a brand new watch.

On the other hand, you could also keep it that way. I personally had my Hublot Classic Fusion Chrono polished and ended up scratching it the week after which was more frustrating.

just checked Marathon's watch website. I was expected cheaper watches 😬. They are nice but I have to think about it before spending 1K on a quartz watch (that's the one I like: https://eu.marathonwatch.com/collections/36mm-sar-watches/products/limited-edition-medium-diver-s-quartz-with-white-dial-arctic-msar-medium-search-rescue?variant=42358343991483)

Thanks to my post, I have enough positive feedback about the HKF mechanical to get it. I wasn't sure it was a good choice and based on the comments, it's an interesting to have. Thanks @TimeJunkie!

Thanks. I'm glad to hear someone who went through the same process. I think I don't take much risks in getting the HKF mechanical. It's relatively affordable and although, I discovered many other brands in reply to me post, I still prefer this watch. Many thanks for comment 🤝
