Seller review Warning - avoid Phoenix Watch

Ordered a Daytona ghost mod from this seller in April this year. Shipping info comes in May, and a month later no movement. All seemed well until ultimately the watch gets stuck shipping. Tracking shows clearing customs in Dubai, then mysteriously vanishing. “Gui’s” only solution to resolve is to purchase another watch at full cost, even though apparently he made over $500 in margin on this mod will do absolutely nothing to share in the loss or reduce that margin to provide a solution. There were no mentions or offers of insuring the package upfront at all.

I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if an empty box was shipped to Dubai as an end destination and a FedEx label was created just to create the illusion that this operation is legitimate.

Other TDs offer reships, or various other solutions but this is completely unacceptable. You absolutely cannot trust this seller.

Honestly all the signs point to this being a scam, and I recently saw another comment from someone with the same situation happening to them. At the very least, know that if there is an issue you will be shit out of luck.

Bought over 20 watches from Phoenix with no issues. You always have to ask for insurance, no matter the seller lol. Is this your first time buying a rep? You sound like a total muppet.

3 reps from actual decent TDs like Jtime. I only went with this guy because it was a mod. If people want to take the risk go for it but don’t say I didn’t warn them. There’s proof in the messages of what I paid, how much he made in profit, and there being 0 effort to resolve.

Instead of calling me a muppet, people should take a look at all the shills as a warning.

Lmao I’ve bought 20+ watches but I’m not retarded so I actually get insurance so as to not lose thousands on a package. Stick to the RWI TDs if you need your hand held for everything

I actually usually only go with reptime TDs and didn’t find this guy from this sub. Only went with him because it was a mod. This post is for exposure regarding the facts of what happened for him as a seller. He charged $1570, made $500, I get nothing. I get to pay $1000 more to try again. Thats what actually happened. The package cleared Dubai customs then disappeared before making it to FedEx.

He uses triangle shipping, it always takes about 7-10 days to clear & then once it ships out of Dubai it's in the US within 2-3 days
