It seems I'm really lucky to live so close to that guy, interaktiv , basically 15 mins apart by car.
I wanted to install some gen parts on my franken daytonas and have them serviced as well.
I gave him three watches with the following asks:
- Noob V2 116500 with gen 116519ln dial & CF bezel installed: I wanted the gen parts transferred to the noob V3 case stated below, install gen hands and crystal, and service the movement.
- Noob V2 116515: I wanted a gen 116515 panda dial installed and service the movement.
- Noob V3 116500: I wanted the movement serviced and replace the case with the Noob V2 above.
it took a little while for him to start working on them as he had too many projects before me, but as soon as he got his hands on them, he did what I wanted pretty fast.
I was very pleased with his service and obviously the final products were very impressive with the gen parts installed, which made me very happy. The power reserve of my daytona frankens is now higher than 48 hours, basically close to 72 hours, if not above that. Before his services, the noob 4130 clone movements would stop after about 5 hours of not wearing them, with the most important of them (the 116519ln one) stopping randomly while wearing it.
He has basically become my go-to movement service guy now, and I'm gonna give him my gen Breitlings for service in a couple of weeks, followed by some of my other reps/frankens that show signs of movement wear. My renewed interest in those daytonas is inspiring me to spend more on gen rolex parts and, as you understand, he will probably also be the guy I will buy them from.
I'm currently contemplating on what gen dial to install on the Noob V2 that has the rep dial. I think i'm gonna go with the gen blue dial with red accents and a white gold bezel, although i already have four blue dial watches.
Final verdict? Highly recommended, if not the best one in the south-east part of Europe.
