My latest buy from Hont, a VSF Seamaster 300 Spectre. I got it for €378 which is pretty cheap for this piece that was out of stock for a very long time. I found this from Hont's Telegram where he advertised it as being in stock again with 24h QC. The curved end leather strap was not included and is aftermarket. It comes with a Nato strap and the steel bracelet which is really nice by the way.
For a timeline for everything I ordered it Sept. 15th, got an answer within a couple of hours and paid the same day. I got the QC early morning on the 16th. GL'd it the same day and got shipping information early morning on the 17th. The watch arrived the 4th of October after 16 days of transit from China to Europe. This was spectacularly quick because he already had a stock of these watches and didn't have to wait for the factory to send him a watch.
As for communication Hont is as always pretty short and only communicates the necessary information. If you're OK with that and don't need a girlfriend experience from your TD he's one of the best around. Hont's been a TD over at RWI since 2008 so he has a lot riding on being reliable and reliable he's always been in my experience. Even though I've waited a couple of days to get an answer at some points I'm always certain he will get back to me.
Full disclosure: Hont asked me to write a review and I'm happy to do so. Never had a bad experience with him. Buy with confidence from one of the oldest TD's still active.
