Hello,

I have seen some post regarding to Phong, I have no idea what it is.
Collecting from posts I have read so far,

Phong is a store in vietnam that sells high-end replicas that costs phenomenal cost + $10000
for gen watches that costs +$100000

I tried to google it for more information, but had no results.

I am hoping everyone could enlighten me with an answer to what exactly is a Phong.

Thank You.

Wow Holy crap Reps over +$5000?
Hmmm, Retina I dont know
I mean people used to say who the hell spends $500 on a rep?
Now it became a norm.
One day in the future people might spend over $5000 on a rep that are indistinguishable even by experts.
We never know

Um. People already do spend more than 5000 on reps. We had a Daytona rep in the sales section last year listed for 10,000

There are $30,000 + Patek Reps available as well. I assume if someone makes 'em, someone else has to be buying them.

Phong sells the high end stuff. There are many people out there who will pay 10, 20 or even 30k for a rep of a watch that is 100s of 1000s for the real deal, they just have a higher disposable income than we do is all. A loty of the time these are using the gen movement, dial, hands etc in a replicated case. In the case of the 30 Patek reps they are damn well near perfect and use a vintage Swiss movement converted to look like the real deal. In this case we are talking real solid gold of course and that can be several K of the price. Take a look at his gold vintage Daytonas, they are things of beauty.

Phong also sells parts such as cases, dials etc as well as reps such as snowflake Tudors for around the 1k mark. Many folk here have a Tudor from him or use his cases in builds.
