lukenorris2011 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I was under the impression this was his son, furthermore the man I contacted stated it was his son. Life's a [censored], then you marry one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKE32500 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 How is it possible to have a such website in US ???? !!!!! I did not know US was the most permissive country in the world... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptTripps Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 His prices may be high, but his work is outstanding. I have 3 watches based off of his kits and all are superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaPOFL Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Now website doesn't work Edit: it works now.. I was getting 404s first two times I clicked on the link Edited September 8, 2014 by astrograph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 The links working for me but I'm on my laptop, not a small something or other. I think Phong and his son get away with what they're doing because everything is vintage and Rolex's patents have run out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martijnp Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Didn't know these phongs where so expensive.. Looks great tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 "Didn't know these phongs were so expensive." I knew it but still can not believe it. I would buy a cheaper Yuki etc case. Why? Because a replica will always be a replica just like a monkey in a tuxedo will always be a monkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be honest his stuff varies massively in terms of being close to Gen spec. I've had some crap cases from him before DH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 For older models that had the more pronounced bevels, phong's cases are best. Yuki doesn't do a great job in that department Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc33 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Is it Big Crown case from Phong?! Yes but with a gen bezel, his is almost the same, and brass too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denimhead Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Yes but with a gen bezel, his is almost the same, and brass too.. True A, the best out there and very reasonable against the mind blowing price of a gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukenorris2011 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 True A, the best out there and very reasonable against the mind blowing price of a gen +1 phongs bezel is fabulous. Brass, played over like gen. MQ etc doesn't come near too it. Deffo worth the £! Life's a [censored], then you marry one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quaresma7 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Yes but with a gen bezel, his is almost the same, and brass too.. Wow those bevels are simply amazing.. I really need to get start a Big Crown project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imajedi Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 The links working for me but I'm on my laptop, not a small something or other. I think Phong and his son get away with what they're doing because everything is vintage and Rolex's patents have run out. But Rolex's trademarks have not. This website, well more the sale of the products, is def illegal by US standards and will eventually be shut down. It's basically like whack a mole. They shut it down and 3 days later it's up again under a diff domain. It's much more difficult to shut down a domain listed under certain country domains like China's instead of .com. Eventually they figure that out and park it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam007 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Can someone PM me on how to get in contact with Phong's Son? I can't find any contact info on the website Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mir36 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I'm sold on the case set. What do the experts think about the dial which comes with the 6538 project kit? I missed out on CC's 'legendary' 6538 project dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
