  3. Phong is now selling eta stuffs

    The 5508 case is nice but the dial looks like a matt service dial with white print not gilt relief. I have no idea what yuki's looks like but Minh would be the one to talk to for dials.. Unless of course you want to remortgage your house and buy a certain gen like gilt dial and use a 1530 mvmt..

    So a Phong ETA is, what, a rep of a Phong gen rep?

    :bangin:

    No! Haha, it's identical just now the buyer has movement choice,, eta with spacer ring from him or you source a gen movement 

     

    Just his cases alone are close to this price. So you are getting a dial, hands, spacer, and movement for next to nothing. Is this is good deal?

    sounds like a good deal to me, I've always maintained that if you use a phong case with a gen dial or redial on a gen plate then you HAVE to use a gen movement, but if you want to use any other dial like one of his or any other rep dial then why not use an eta? Cheaper and makes more sense

    Are these the same cases that we would buy if we were just looking for a Phong case?  In other words, if I buy a case from him for a project would this be the same exact case, only now it is assembled with a movement, spacer ring, dial and hands?  Aren't his cases this same price or pretty close to it?

    Same cases but he got ahold of a bunch of eta movements and I guess made custom spacer rings to accommodate them... He has pretty much ran out of genuine movements so you can buy a watch with an eta movement and spacer ring now but still have the quality of his cases for less money then using a genuine Rolex movement

    Holy smokes man, you find all the best ****.  That has to be the last acquirable t-19 SD on the planet.  Pretty much finishes that build off.  Man that is gorgeous.  

    Thanks! I guess there are not many left these days, I emailed a parts hoarder friend of mine and the next day it magically arrived at my door, I got very lucky.

    You think...LOL  That is absolutely stunning.  You always have the best stuff....and taste.  You know that is cold with me looking for a gilt 5513.  So early 60's model?  Just WOW!  Love the layout of that dial.  Cannot stop staring.  

    OK back to shopping for the gilt now....

     

    Thanks for the high praise, it's a 65 case.

    What a beauty cc33..

    i was happy with mine until I saw that cheers :lol:

    Yours is very nice as well! Ive admired it for a while now

    @cc33, wow man great shot.  Wait a minute....have I seen this one before???  Gorgeous.  That insert might the be the best one I have ever seen.  Cartoonish fonts.  Love it.  

    Thanks! You have only ever seen the insert, I got a gen 5513 that had a fake dial in it for a cheap price and just got the special dial and gen hands to complete my vision. It worked out well I think :)
