Update:
4/20 - payment received confirmation
4/25 - QC pics received...faster than expected

Sorry I know I'm not meant to ask for QC but I've got 2 concerns with the watch I'm hoping someone could advise on.

1) the timegrapher numbers seem high from what I've read, especially the error which is 2.4ms and the rate +12s/day.

2) the two 12 o'clock indexes appear to be different shades? What this warrant RL?

Thanks in advance

As for the error: can you ask him to regulate the movement to have it in the single-digit region?
The 2 indixes .. hmm .. could be the lighting. The index of 6 seeems also lighter than the rest

No more pictures of the dial?

Thanks for the quick reply. I might ask to see if he can regulate it. I read that the stud carrier needs adjusting to correct the beat error?

More pics showing dial which is also noticeable in the lume

Thanks

Based on feedback from RepTime I've sent a message to Hont to RL this one based on the colour different of the two markers and the very high beat error. Hopefully he can source a better one.

Just to update this thread:

4/25 - RL watch with reasons posted above
4/27 - Hont asks me to mark on the picture what was wrong which I reply with immediately.
4/30 - Hont asks is I want to keep this model or change. I reply stating I want to keep the same model.

Slow progress unfortunately

Another update:

5/3 - Hont asks again if I want the same model to which I reply yes
5/6 - Hont messages "After 7 days we check if more come"

I think I possibly made a mistake choosing Hont
