Day 1 (6/7/17)
So contacted Hont about some watches on his site (after reading the newbie tutorials and then all the reviews of the TD) , I sent him 3-4 ones I liked , this was about 10 pm , by the time I woke up at 5 am , he had already replied and was very open and helpful.


Day 2 (6/8/17)

My previous day interaction, combined with his reviews, gave me the guts to push the button. Purchased a
41 mm DJ SS/YG Oyster Grey Stk Asian Eta 2836-2 and selected DHL shipping. I emailed Hont just to let him know I placed the order, gave him my order number and watch info as a backup.

I asked him if there were any problems with stock or if he had questions , I would help him. Otherwise, I'm going to stay out of his way for a week maybe and then see about a QC update.

I will update this thread as new stuff happens and end it with pics on my wrist :)

Day 2 (6/8/17)

Hont replied to my email about 6 hours after my first post above - thanked me for my message and said he would get back to me asap when things were ready.

Now I become patient , follow instructions...and wait.

Day 9 (6/16/17)

Got a DHL text message last night about a shipment due today - I'm assuming this MIGHT be it - but also slightly concerned that I didnt get any QC pics or any notification from Hont on this - BUT - I could be wrong and this could be something else entirely

Will let you know what happens when it shows up lol - it could just be underwear LOL

Watch arrived - looks beautiful at first glance

Cant get the clasp undone - feel I'm babying it - but regardless I'm taking it to a jeweler tomorrow to have him size it for me and show me the lock - I dont want to mess with it

After that - Pics and Video for everyone and will welcome feedback - thanks

:: is this thing on - anyone reading these? ::

Like a previous review - Hont sent me the DHL tracking # a day after I *got* it LOL

Took the watch to get sized today ; the watch guy said it was beautiful and asked how many thousnds did it set me back......

That felt nice lol :)

Watch looks good. But, you really never received QC on it before he mailed? And didn't get tracking til after it arrived? Glad it worked out, but I'd probably be a little miffed.
