After monitoring various posts on dealers for 6 months or so, decided it was time to make the plunge into the Rep world...have always been fascinated by the Rolex Explorer II Whiteface...a subtle, sublime timepiece, in my opinion...pymt sent on 11/11, Hont acknowledgment next day, shipment on 11/16, cleared customs in San Francisco, CA on 11/23, on my wrist on 11/25. Will break out the camera tomorrow for a shot or two, it is pretty much what i wanted/expected. I would appreciate feedback from you all, on your thoughts...pics in the 'morrow...

killer,
after 6 months you must have been just about wetting in your pants.
i think most newbies here blow their load within days of finding this place.
we should have a poll to see how long it took some of the members here to buy their first after finding this haven.
can't wait to see your pics.
holy shite...
i just noticed when you joined stumpie....
before me !!!!
yikes...i truly have a problem....

No argument...
Would have to agree... now my wife is suddenly facinated with the Chanel J12 line...funny how that works after she sees me with a happy wrist

Pictures / 1st Rep / Exp II / Hont
Again, apologies for the poor lighting and quality...i will have to get a camera
My take is that i like overall...wish the GMT hand was more red...wish the bezel hour markings were not so close to the outer edge...and of course wish the hour markers were outlined blacker than they are...am fine with the date mag; and it does have the rolex engraving on sapphire above 6'oclock.
All in all, i think a very good rep. 220USD from Hont, and he was quite responsive to my emails, etc.
It is supposed to be 2836 movement (swiss), but as we know, who knows?
Appreciate your feedback, as the learning journey continues.
Net/net, I would - and will - do business with Hont again.
Cheers...
couldn't of done it w/out you, many thanks !

Congrats on that piece, looks smashing! The Explorer II is one of my favourite watches. I have one with a black face, but after looking at your pics I think I will need to get a white one as well. (The "just one more" never stops, you know!
