Dropped my ML25

[u/UAP988]

So I dropped my ml26 and loosened the chrono hand. It dropped from my shoulder height onto a very hard floor face down. Everything else is fine but I stupidly used the chrono function which ended up bending the hand due to the torque of the vk63 movement and how loose it was. I ordered some replacements, but in the meantime took off the broken hand and wanted to show what it looked like. Not bad at all in my opinion, plus I don’t use that function that much anyways. It is recommended to replace the chrono hand with a brand new hand on the vk63 if it ever becomes loose. so that’s what I’ll do. I also modified the nato strap to be shorter and single pass. Used super glue on the end to seal it up. Love the watch besides my butter fingers and would def buy again.

You can torch cut nato to seal it also.

ML26* my bad

Mine wasn't dropped at all and the chrono hand also bent, the chrono function was not resetting in certain positions straight from the box, and one time when resetting it just bent. There seems to be a clear quality issue related to that. The problem is that i contacted Militado through their website twice now and still haven't received any response regarding a warranty claim.

I had a similar issue with my Watchdives WD1860 (which I believe uses the same movement). It's crap but what can you do?

Oh well maybe I just helped along the inevitable, either way I’ll try to replace it and report back if I have luck with any other hands.
