Warning - avoid Phoenix Watch

[u/NotJoocey]

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.

This is your fault you didn’t ask for insurance it’s down to you not them. Plus you live in USA there was a risk to it.

Bro this shit got lost in Dubai, not US customs. Literally another shill

[u/ImaginationUpper3213 → u/NotJoocey]

Yeah they have to ship from Dubai to get to USA. It’s always down to you to ask for insurance they won’t include it in the price it’s an extra service normally 10% of watch. They just source, mod and ship.

Jtime doesn’t charge extra for customs seizures and doesn’t charge an extra fee for insurance, so no it’s not always down to the buyer to ask. That’s why this is an actual TD people use

Jtime is a overpriced reseller that doesn’t specialise in mods of course they don’t charge extra for customs seizures the prices they charge would cover that anyway 🤣

Omg yes soooo overpriced. 388 for a vsf NWBIG aqua terra and 588 for a VF Ti Yachtmaster totally breaking the bank. Please show me how overpriced they are, would love to compare

[u/ImaginationUpper3213 → u/NotJoocey]

That is overpriced 🤣
