My Daytona 116500 by Johnny Depp (w/pics)

[bettoban]

After several problems with the SA4130, i sent this watch for a full service of the movement and some nice upgrades to Johnny Depp
Base: Noob 116500 v2
ARF dial v2
ARF bezel vs
Gen gasket
Re-brushed Noob bracelet

Now it runs smooth and it has a really nice gen feeling. I'm totally in love with it.

EDIT: The scratches on the hands was not made by johnny, but by a local watchsmith that in the attempt of reparing the watch mad a lot of damages. Johnny did the best he could since the watch was raped from this "watchsmith"
Here's some pic

Gorgeous buddy! What's the thickness now? I have the same thing essentially! Makes the watch so much better!

Looks very good! I'm planning to do the same! Noob base with ARF seems to be a killer comco

Was about 800€ (watch + parts to change) + the price for the service on the movement

No offence but I’d be sending it back as the left subdial is not aligned and what has happened to the centre seconds pinion?? The hour and minute hand look a little marked too????

Seems seconds chrono hand brake and was not well repaired. Btw you’re right hands are marked, and hours chrono hand not well aligned, too much on left, but maybe OP don’t see that because need a macro shot to see scratches.
It’s a nice watch at least, by doing those kinds of mods I know how hard is too well finished, reason why I am very carefully with hands, aligning and dial that could scratch easily when fitting the hands.
I have braked some hands, not really a problem, those rep hands braked easily but could be repaired properly and you will not notice the difference.
At least bro it’s a nice watch, enjoy and wear it well, those imperfections can’t be seen without macro shots, so doesn’t matter if you could live with.

Big chrono hand was installed with a hammer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys, that's not johnny fault. As i mentioned i had several problems with this watch. Before i found johnny, i gave the watch for a full service to a local watchsmith that have done a lot of damages (also scratched the hands). Probably in the future i'll swap hands with gen. Anyway as you said it's visible ONLY with macro shots.

I have same issue with chrono second hand. I had a dial fitted and now it don’t reset dead on 12 marker. Can somebody tell me if it’s an easy fix with a movement service. After reading this thread it’s made me really worried.

Not hard job to be done, need to fit out hands and fit them in properly, if your hand is really injured need to be changed if can’t be repaired properly.
It’s not a servicing problem but an hand stack one

Thanks man. Looking at the hand it don’t look scratched or damaged. I was going to get it serviced by domi soon so hopefully he can rectify it.

Domi will do that easily and with a good servicing your watch will have the same reliability as gen is.
