I placed an order with Hont on June 19. OP 41 silver VSF V2 and OP36 Pink VSF V2. I asked him multiple times if he was able to get these and he said yes. He told me QC for VSF V2 were a little slower and told me it would be 10 day QC turn around time. I messaged him on July 1st to get an update, with no response. On July 3rd I messaged again and He said still no QC and offered to switch them to Clean Factory. I told him I really wanted the watches I paid for. Again he told me to wait an additional 7 days for the QC and "he would put in the order again". Needless to say we're a couple days away and now nearly 20 days later without even QC pics to show. If I had known he didn't have access to these watches perhaps I would have paid more through another TD to acquire them. However, being a TD I assumed through his reviews he was pretty legit. I'm pretty frustrated.

Everything is slow. Both TD and non TD are backed up pending raids. Switching dealers wont change anything. Practice patience.
You'll get your watch just chill and ping him once a week.

You want a definitive answer from me but I can't promise you anything on timeline.
Noone can tell you on the forum because none of us are on the ground in Guangzhou.
VS is a factory that only releases it's watches in batches, often only once or twice a month. A month wait time is fine. And you're not even at 1 month yet.
I can tell you I once waited 3 months for a watch. Most noobies would cry and scream scam if they had to wait that long.
Update: He was not able to get both VSF watches I ordered from him. He kept pushing me to switch to clean saying it was a fast QC, so on July 8 I told him to switch it to Clean. He sent me QC pics on 7/10 for the OP41, the 3 hour marker was misaligned. So I RL it and he said he would get a new watch but would take a couple of days. Today he sent me a video of the exact same watch saying it looked good to him and to let him know if he should send it. I asked him why he's sending a video of the same watch that I already RL, plus I had already let him know last week I didn't want that watch. He said he could be get another watch but would take a couple of days or he can refund. Due to him not even sending QC for the second OP36. So, I opted for a refund.
He said the refund would be slow though. I asked him why it would be slow if I sent him the money and it arrived within the day and he said it because sending money out of China isn't easy. Which is completely insane excuse. As if people don't send money to each other all over the world literally every second. I sent him $936, I am without watches and money for now. I sent him my PayPal email but he says he doesn't know how to do it and will ask a friend.
This has been an awful experience overall with Hont.
