Johnny Depp - an asset to our community and a true gentleman

In the last few months, I have repeatedly used JD’s services. I entrusted him with various projects. From the mere movement service of my new Oyster Perpetual to several Franken projects. Everything was in the program.

From the very first assignment, I was amazed at how good the communication with JD was. He always answered my questions immediately and when my watches were with him, he informed me about every step and even sent me many pictures illustrating the progress. I did not and do not take that for granted. What I also appreciate about him is the fact that he has always kept every promise and every deadline.

Why does this thread sound like I'm in love with Johnny? Well. Somehow I just became a fan of his professional work. And, I'm very happy right now. Here's why:
Recently I was lucky enough to buy a TC V7X LV at a German forum. The watch was (and is) great. Of course. It's a freaking TC V7X. But the case and bracelet were scratched. The 12 o'clock marker and the pearl triangle were not in line. The TC LV bezel insert is ok, but it doesn't come close to a gen insert. So I sent the watch to JD. Because he had been able to get me a new gen LV insert.

Today I got my watch back. It looks like new. Everything is perfect and the gen insert is the icing on the cake. And you know what JD wanted for his work? Nothing! I just had to pay for the inserts and shipping. This is customer service at its finest. Thank you Johnny Depp !

Here are some pictures of my like-new gem:

I've seen the thread. I'm really sorry for you!

It is so important that you can trust the modder. I recently sent Johhny watches and material worth over $5,000. Despite the high value, I wasn't a bit scared. After he finished his work, he even suggested to return my watches in three separate packages to minimize the risk. He obviously cared about what happens to my watches. That, for my part, has created additional confidence.

Germany. So far, it's always worked out very well. He always sends me a picture of the package before sending it. The tracking number can be seen on it. Tracking has always worked without any problems. Usually the parcels were already with me after two days.

Actually I'm not talking about getting them back I'm talking about shipping to Italy!! Lots of issues w Italian mail actually getting to where it needs to be.

Conversely, it was never a problem either. So far I've sent about seven packets to him.

He rescued a gen 3135 and installed to my Hulk along with gen hands, a very honest and excellent modder that is now a good friend..

Thanks guys...
What I mean was who is the equivalent high quality, respected, renowned watchmaker/modder in CONUS as JD is in the EU?
Thanks for the comments though... they were amusing ;)

I like this thread. It's positive, explains the steps that the modder has taken to ensure safety, and encourages us to do better. :) Sometimes I feel we take our modders we use too much for granted, so appreciation is needed esp when appreciation is due.

Well written OP!
