Hey all,
After the great success with my first rep from Hont (VSF Omega Aqua Terra - Green) I've dived back in for a Pelagos.
Watch: XF Tudor Pelagos 42mm Black
TD: Hont Watches.
17Jan25: Hont confirmed price and 1-3 days for time to QC. I paid via Wise. To my shock he sent QC pics within 9hrs (~1am in the morning China time). Unfortunately I immediately noticed it was the 39mm version which would have been from a different factory as XF don't do a 39mm (as far as I can see). I pointed this out and he immediately apologized, explained his worked made a mistake and he'll fix it. No harm and I'm absolutely fine with this interaction.
20Jan25: Proper QC came through within the 1-3 days he initially offered

He's now awaiting my GL to ship. I really only have concerns about the 12 and 4 o'clock marker alignments and maybe the date window (which seemed to correct itself after he took the pressure off the crown).
