First order with Hontwatch, rapid answers, everything was nearly on time (expect chinese holidays had a small impact on QC)
Looked at many models Tag and Breitling previously, unfortunately since GF is not reachable anymore I could not find proper TF alternatives in my taste. So I ended up starting with a Tag and Hont provided lots of options when I checked. I wanted to start with an everyday watch, which I do not care to scratch or drop like my gens.

Contact was fast and easy, watch arrived in perfect condition, nicely packaged.
I am not a fan of orginal lookalike warranty cards and boxes, I do not want to think it is original because it is not, but packaging was really gen-ish, even received an operation manual.
Watch is really nice, I would consider saying it is not just NWBG but also a super rep. There is only one thing which can be noticed is the buttons on the clasp are harsh, but nothing what a dremel can not solve in under 2 minutes. Running SW-200 Sellita mvmnt, which I really prefer, I have gen watches with that movement and never had any issues with them. Rotor also decorated well, was nicely assembled and clean when I opened. I have it for more than a week and so far no issues at all. Rotor also moves nicely, of course I oiled the back plate seal.
Overall it is a nice/detailed watch, definitely go back to Hont again soon! :) highly recommend.

Just following up, after one month still running strong. Power reserve is great, did not measure yet exactly (if requested i will do so) but roughly skipping a day on arm and wearing it again on the next morning was not a problem. Actually i kind of like it even more.
Strap is durable, no signs of wear, case material is also above expectations, i did accidentally hit it already with my metal garden door and no sign or scratches. Ceramic bezel is still mint. At 2 month im going to take some pictures how it looks. Im wearing it 70%of the time.
