I am a Rolex rep collector. I have 30 of them and do my own regulation and light maint. For over a year I have been singing the praises of the Noob 4130 Daytona. Many have said the the movement is a real peace of art and worth the $700 just in itself, and I have whole heartedly agreed.
But now I am beginning to worry. A few days ago the chrono function stopped working on my panda. Worse the watch would intermittently stop running for a few seconds until shaken. I am watch savy - always treat them with respect - and know what I am doing operationally - this thing just broke. It may be a simple fix for a competent watchmaker - or something more involved - I don't know. But it does give me pause in what had been a very enthusiastic supporter of the Noob. I hope its an anomaly. I will keep people aware of the problem - but in the meantime would appreciate others reporting any issues.
