First Order - VSF 126610LV & VSF SMD 300M

[shift]

Placed my first order with Hont last week and things have gone fairly smoothly thus far.

Timeline, for those interested:

• Feb 16 - Messaged via Whatsapp to inquire about availability/pricing.
• Feb 18 - Hont replied with pricing and payment instructions. Payment sent.
• Feb 19 - Hont confirmed payment.
• Feb 20 - Hont provided QC photos/video for VSF 126610LV. Provided GL, but requested movement adjustment as rate was +19s/d.
• Feb 21 - Hont provided QC photos/video for VSF SMD 300M, confirmed he would adjust movement. Provided GL. Hont advised he would ship after 126610LV was adjusted.

I did leverage r/reptimeqc as I'm fairly new to all of this stuff. The only remarkable findings were:

1. The rate (+19s/d) for the 126610LV
2. The 12hr batons on the SMD 300M, which I decided to GL anyway. I did some research on other recent QCs, some of which were GL'd with worse alignment than I observed with my QC. I also looked at a bunch of gen (or "gen", depending) examples on Chrono24 which showed the same or worse baton alignment, so, I decided to GL.

Thanks. Did you order via whatsapp with Hont? Because I can’t find the VSF 126610 on his site.

From what I see, when I zoom in and invert the colors, the Sub LV has a „Q66..“-serial number. That’s the newest batch if I’m. It mistaking.

Yes, I see it now.
