Bit of a long rambling post but it may help someone.
Ok so Hont has been getting a bit of bashing of late, was/is it justified?
So I decided to see what the fuss was.
I've been eyeing an XF Pelagos for a while and decided to see if anything was true with regard to Hont. Used the contact info here and informed him of my RWI user name and what watch I wanted. Within a couple of hours he responded with price and payment options. A bit of issues with different payments being rejected by my side
While he was waiting on me to get my shit sorted he sent QC pics, which I was very happy with, again payment was rejected on my side a very understanding Hont gave me his revolut details (I prefer this) and bang we were in business. All relevant details were exchanged and he told me he would ship the following day 13th April. I had tracking details when I woke up. I headed off to Portugal with the family and thought I found myself in a race home with the watch but alas no. It took no time to get to Europe but stalled for a whole 3/4 days then shipped over the weekend to arrive at my door this morning while I was "working" but the wife was off sick 🫣 "did you buy another watch" (luckily she knew my Hublot was sold and now replaced 
). 15 days from contact and shipping to delivery.
At all points during these transaction Hont was pleasant and professional to deal with and I was pleasant and respectful with what I wanted and with Hont. Overall a very pleasant experience.
Am I happy with the watch I bought, yes but I don't like the bracelet and plan putting it on a NATO or canvas strap, but that is my choice and was decided before I bought it
To finish
From my experience of other TD's and Hont, they are professional in there dealings AS LONG as you are respectful of there ways and treat them as you would any person. So from my point of view the Hont bashing in unjustified. But this my experience yours may differ. End of my rambling
