Hi, excited to post my first rep watch purchase! I went with Hont as TD and wanted to post my updates here.

06/03/2023 - Reached out to Hont via WhatsApp for purchase inquiry.
6/04/2023 - Payment sent via Wise. Expected QC in 3-7 days

Will continue to update as things move. Hopefully everything goes smoothly =)

06/06/2023 - QC came in just two days but the dial font has bad spacing (not a defect, but just how this particular clone was released). The watch is VC Patrimony 85180 RG by PPF and there is a noticeable gap between the 'I' and the 'N' at the end of the text: it looks like "VACHERON CONSTANTI N"

It's a shame because I couldn't find any pictures on the PPF Patrimony until I got the QC and digged deeper into some Bilibili videos to cross reference and they all have this issue. The VC Patrimony 85150/85180 was recommended on r/RepTime as the best version of this SKU (compared to MKF, FKF, AIF) so I was a bit let down.

Anyways, I RL'd and asked Hont to change the watch to a NWBIG rep so hopefully I don't run into any issues this time. Hont has been great to me so far and I'm looking forward to the next QC =)

2023/07/30 - Watch arrived. Shipping was really fast from China -> Canada. Everything arrived safely! Was concerned with some of the negative reviews I heard with Hont but everything went well for me. I got the ZFV2 JLC Ultra Thin Moon and it looks great =)
