1st ever purchase with Hont: Two Daytonas white 116500 ZF

[Darnie]

Hi everyone!
After many questions asked and a lot of patience from him I ordered two daytonas 116500 white dial from ZF. The time line was:
07/01/2024: Order the watches, made the bank transfer and ask for the QC.
08/01/2024: Hont saw the transfer screenshots and confirm.

Now im waiting for the QC. I will update with all the info.

Hey, I am curious why you picked ZF over Clean or VSF?

Thanks in advance

Update:
14/01/24 Hont send me the QC and they are from the 126500 model so i ask for a change, it isnt the model I want. He apologize and start the new search. I decided to keep one of them.
16/01/24: Hont send me the new QC, that time right. I checked the images and the watch was great. I little misalignment in the 6-120 marker-bezel. But hont take the worst pictures among all TDs so... maybe its better than I tought. I will see when I have it here.
19/01/24: He give the tracking number and now Im waiting.

Hi! Becouse it have deep crystal, bezel and dial from CF and good case and brazelet. The only thing that is "questionable" is that have the SH4130 inside instead of the DD4130. Its a new movement and not all people have the trust to give it a try. It was in offer too, 598usd, so i thought it worth the risk.

Update:
The first watch, the 126500 just arrive a moments ago. Its been suuuper fast in the shipping, it was shipped in 12th and arrived today, 22th. 10 days.
Im going to open it but the box and all the proteccion is superb. Hont have no rivals in this. And the watch looks amazing, better than the QC photos.

Now im waiting for the other one, the 116500, i supose it will arrive three days later, 10 days shipping so 25th.

Hi everybody,
The second Daytona arrived today.. its impresive how fast the shippings from Hont are. I have to say the photos make no justice to the real look od the watch... its simply awesome. I now that its a rep but seriously, this daytona its awesome, it have nothing to envy the gen.
Another thing i want to highlight its that many of the problems that people see in QC are not noticed later or not are a big deal in the end. The angles of the photos, the light... all this things can fool us for bad. In my second daytona the 6 marker was a little crooked and was missaligned from de 120 of the bezel, well... in my wrist i dont see any of this things, its all OK.
Thanks to Hont!!

Please let us know how well the SH4130 movement keeps the time and if it really supports the 72h power reserve?
