After doing a lot of digging and researching I came to the conclusion that ill buy a watch from trusty or jtime. Went ahead with trusty, Andrew replied fast everytime I contacted him. Waiting for QC now. I got a sub and a zenith pilot type 20 45mm because I have a big wrist. Will be posting pics once I receive them.

The zentih has a miyota 8215 movement. Is it a reliable movement? The sub is a asian 2836 movement. Do you guys think I should service the watches upon arrival?

These are the watches incase anyone wants to have a look and comment on my purchase lol :

Also do I need to get tools to make sure the bracelet is intact or anything like that.

Any knowledge or insight would be appreciated regarding what to do with watch once Ive received it.

Nice choices. Wish my wrist was big enough for that Zenith Pilot. To answer your questions about movements, I’ve never had a miyota but have had several Asian “copy cat” or “clone” movements. I’ve never serviced them or have had the need to yet and they have been running well for 2 years (my oldest). If possible, servicing them is always a good idea but these movements are robust enough to last a decent amount of time on their own from my experience.
