freddy333 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 The dial is good, but not great, but the case & movement look very good. The question, as is always the case with these pre-assembled frankens, is whether the watch you receive will match the seller's description/pictures. I have never heard of this seller before, but, based on what I have seen & what I have heard from our own Ziggy, most of these frankens require a full overhaul upon receipt by the buyer. In some cases, the 'assembly' is so filthy & the work so dodgy that parts often need to be replaced to make the thing even function correctly. Maybe this seller is 100% honest & professional (that would be a 1st in my experience), but, as always when spending >$1,000 on a non-gen (from a non-gen seller), buyer beware. If you do purchase the watch, please post some good, clear pics here when you receive it. I would love to see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mir36 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Is this tonywatch's site? I noticed he's not posting rep dials on the bay anymore. The 5517 dial advertised at the site looks very close to something I bought from him on the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill33 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 It's phongs website. Absolutely crazy money for a rep. Was going to by a 5513 case from him, however a member posted an image of his case he received and it was horrendous. IMO the money he charges, these cases should be finished to exact gen specs or very close. But they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a similar experience to Phong, some say better, some worse. Seems to be the same product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickFlorida Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) I mentioned this before guys. Are the website photos of gen. Cases or does phongs son really make them that good?

sacsah1 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 That Jensen's site. Who is Phongs son. Despite acting all independent, I think they do work together.Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
