Male end links generally look better - although it depends on the style of bracelet - and they can be used to add length to the design.

I’ve never heard about them having problems with either. They mostly use stock Sellita movements, so you can get them serviced anywhere.
I wouldn’t give a watch to someone who isn’t into watches.
The Series8 uses the 9054 movement, which is a modestly-upgraded version of the 9075 for use exclusively by Citizen.
Alligator straps are not banned for import into the United States. You can buy whatever alligator strap you like, or watch that comes on an alligator strap, from whatever brand or dealer you like.
No, I keep the bracelet at a length that is comfortable in all circumstances.
It's technically plausible, but it's not a practical concern. You might see significant marks after a couple hundred years of wear.
I prefer printed dials. They’re more difficult to get right than dials with applied indices.
Not a problem at all. Watches of far lower quality handled gunfire and bombardment in the trenches of WW1. Nerds just get paranoid.
Yes. I owned an Invicta Pro Diver for a while as a test drive for a Rolex Submariner. Ended up disappointed with the Submariner, but I kept the Invicta, ha.

Buy whatever looks interesting to you.

After you own one watch for a while, consider what you like and don't like about it, and then buy another based on that impression.

Many places sell watches. You can determine if an offer is fair by comparing it to other offers for the same watch.

Watch winders are almost never necessary, but you can buy one at any time if you want.
I don’t like color-matched date wheels. They’re always difficult to read, and it’s a cop-out toward placating fussy enthusiasts. I like a date with a white wheel that’s easy to read and framed prominently. It’s a useful feature; don’t try and hide it.
