Not sure, but these guys probably all have warrants out for their arrest at this point. I would imagine many people who had watches on consignment, paid for watches that had not yet shipped, etc. have filed police reports

Tensai · 30 June 2021, 10:25 AM

So good.

Pw92676 · 30 June 2021, 10:25 AM

Doesn’t surprise me.
FWIW one guy at my local AP boutique sold to them directly. Then would “refer” people to him and get his cut. Anyone local that wants to know, buy me a beer and I’ll sing like a canary :)

RollieNZ · 30 June 2021, 10:25 AM

If true - no great surprise here.

PepsiBezel · 30 June 2021, 10:25 AM

Whoa.

ks58 · 30 June 2021, 10:26 AM

I wonder what happened.

Yea saw this coming.....Scary people paid the $2k and respectable dealers stood behind him.

Sephiroth · 30 June 2021, 10:30 AM

Never a dull moment with these guys.

Patton250 · 30 June 2021, 10:32 AM

It seems to me this nonsense could’ve been avoided if people would simply stop paying $100,000 for a $30,000 watch that really should retail for $20,000. It’s all out of control.

Knappo 1307 · 30 June 2021, 10:32 AM

Marco was on here earlier, and reading the thread started today about them.....

Wouldn’t it be a soap opera if some of the “respectable dealers” now helped them move the “missing” inventory? I hope none of this is true as many people will be affected.

Excel is a very advanced and sophisticated and can definitely handle keeping track of revenue and inventory. WHEN DONE PROPERLY.

I was disappointed that long time reputable dealers associated themselves with and gave credence to the TPG. The videos on YouTube almost developed into bragging about whose d**k was bigger.

1665fan · 30 June 2021, 10:35 AM

Gotcha!!!! Sad to hear for the consignment owners

Bladeshot · 30 June 2021, 10:35 AM

Disappointing to see. That last YouTube video seems to indicate they were not good bookkeepers, at a minimum. That’ll do it.

I'm not buying it... yet...

KJBrandal · 30 June 2021, 10:38 AM

Roman, Watch Eric and everyone else that we’re visible with them needs to come out with some sort of statement if they’ve actually vanished. Could be a publicity stunt but most likely not

Polar Bear · 30 June 2021, 10:46 AM

I'm reserving judgement at this point
Not saying this whole thing passes the sniff test, but its still too early to really know whats going on

Could be Rebranding, a Publicity stunt or Foul Play, but regardless, it doesn't look good and i've seen a number of customers who either have pending deals or watches with them on consignment say theyve been unable to reach anyone in the company...

ks58 · 30 June 2021, 10:47 AM

Seems weird to delete your website and instagram if it were a publicity stunt. I can see them doing some sort of stunt, but not deleting ways for customers to do business with them.
