Just to give you guys an idea, I received 2 watches from Robert today and wanted to share my thoughts.
I have the Hont blue Surf. The movement seems identical. The quality also seems identical but have variants.
I have no clue on the accuracy as to which one is more than the other...But I will be comparing them to gens next week when I visit a friend who has the real deal, and we are going to have some fun pairing them up.
Anywho here are some horrible pics, and honest thoughts...

I can't speak of accuracy, as I don't know enough...But the quality seems equal.
Looking at Honts pics it seems his bezel is solid silver (on these MM Divers) color while Roberts is black. I don't have Hont's to compare but I think i'd like the silver better.
The bands on Roberts version are much tighter at the insert...which I kind of like...Although one Clasp is too loose...which I am hoping is an easy fix.
The engraving and inserts i'd give the edge to Robert, because they take on the look of titanium a bit more and seem a bit deeper with the engraving. Same with the clasp.
The rehault seems much deeper on Robert's...and i am not sure if that's good or not.
They are equal in weight, and the movements seem identical.
Overall they are IMO a very nice buy.

Damn Zoso. I've been thinking of picking up one of these and you've already got a collection going. Very nice.

I will often buy a cheaper version of a watch before going for a high end just to see if i like the look. To me, these had the same feel as the more expensive watch, and actually have some better variants. If my buddy likes them, I may buy a few from Hont just to compare. At these prices you can have some flexibility. Great offering IMO. Take advantage of Robert's special while he still has them!
