Long Time Lurker, First Time Buyer with Hont

[StrandedSailor123]

Hello RWI!

Long-time lurker, first-time buyer. I finally decided to order with one of the oldest rep dealers in the game, Hontwatch. Smooth experience so far.

Below is the current status:

• 6/17/22 - Inquired via Whatsapp regarding 2 watches: VSF Omega Seamaster 300m (328 USD) and GF Cartier Santos 2018 XL (398 USD). I received payment details from Hont within a few hours
• 6/18/22 - Decided to go with Transfer Wise and waited for account verification (at least now I don't have to do this again for future purchases!)
• 6/19/22 - Sent payment and Hont confirmed receipt. Waiting on QC pics/vids now - Hont says it takes 3-7 days. From what I've read this is normal.

More updates to come!

• 6/21 - Asked for an update on the GF. Hont said there are delays.
• 6/27 - Since GF is still slow, Hont suggested we ship the Omega first.
• 6/28 - Received tracking number for Omega. Now we wait!
