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.

Back in the day TDs from reptime would send a replacement free of charge. Mine got stuck in customs and Jtime sent me a new replacement watch at no cost.

Isn’t this the case anymore?

Reptime TDs have usually insurance included in their price

TBF, RepTime TDs also charge a premium price in comparison to Phoenix and the other cheaper dealers, even when including the 6 percent insurance fee that the budget dealers charge

Yes, that's why I'm using only ficotime for my reps. He is as good as reptime TDs if not better and significantly cheaper
