The watch was from ebay, it did fail the pressure test so the watch shop said, the gaskets and possibly the crown needs to be replace, they suggested i could "upgrade" the movement to the NH36 movement?

Should i do this or keep the 7s26 movement.

i want to test the movement out and see if i think it is worth it or just fix it so it passes the pressure test.

Also i am thinking the bezel could be aftermarket?

Skx009 (pepsi) would’ve came with a blue dial, so this it could’ve originally been a skx007. Either way it definitely has an aftermarket bezel. I originally thought the hands looked wrong, but I take it back after comparing to mine. But another thing is your lugs look polished, and should be brushed, but it could’ve been polished at some point as well. It’s also hard to tell off just one picture…it may be a modded skx007. At first glance when I typed my original reply I could tell it was not an skx009.
