Phong?

[sarron7]

Hi All,


Is Phong at jewelryandwatch still good to go. I wanted to place an order, but saw online that there may be some legal trouble going on and I didn't want to throw my cash down a black hole.
Thanks in advance for any info.

I would wait. Yes, he is in a legal battle against the US and Swiss attorneys.

Did the status change? I was planning on ordering from him and stumbled upon this.

I heard that he reached a settlement with Rolex that including him stopping copyright infringement. That would mean no more knock offs I would think. I doubt someone whose been targeted and settled with Rolex is going to dance too close to that fire again. Plenty of hits on google relating to this.

I just looked at his site and he's removed all references to Rolex- now it's RLX and a lot of model numbers w/o the Rolex name. He's always been upright in the past, so I'd figure he's still a good source for aftermarket parts.
I didn't find his son, Jensen Dinh/Vintagewatchmaker.com anywhere, so it looks like he may have been shut down or quit the business- I do know Rolex was after him a while back

Looks like it was his son Jensen that was specifically targeted, so IDK if Phong is still doing business or not. That post says they share an address, so in any event it hit very close to home.

Does anyone have phong's contact?

I have been trying to get in touch with Phong for several weeks now with no response, I have 2 gens that need servicing. No response to text messages or emails that he normally used. I haven't been in contact with him in roughly 2 years. I thought maybe something happened to him som I googled him and I found out about the legal issues. I guess he is laying low.

He’s fine. Business as usual.

Contact via email but his replies are a bit slow (couple days).

Contact him on WhatsApp (his number is on the website) and he replies immediately. I texted him just last week.

He’s on hols out of the US until the end of March, so that might be why there’s been a delay in his responses.

For west coast I’d recommend Craft and Tailored, Downtown LA.
For east coast I’d recommend John Brozek, Saint Petersburg

Shame that Vanessa Contreras has retired:

Just make sure to use a CW21 certified watchmaker. Not sure if phong is?

Phong is still doing work. I just had him do a case engraving for a 5517 build.

He's retired, website is not operational.

His son Jensens' ebay:

Not the same quality as his father.

I have just ordered a set of MK-0 (millerighe) pushers for my 6240 Daytona from Jewelryandwatch. There's a WhatsApp contact on the website. I am pretty sure it's Jensen as the the area code of the number is for Arizona.

Anyways, you tell them what you want and they send you a payment link (that directs to the website Jewelryandwatch) with an order number. I am waiting for the order to arrive. I'll update if/when it is delivered.

By Rolex I assume?

Yep. The first lawsuit in 2019 was smoothed over but I guess he got caught again.
