Honest question, why would anyone do business, or trust this 'alleged' ex-criminal, versus the solid and reliable DavidSW or European Watch Company?

Is there some added benefit I'm missing seeing?

Maybe a personal service he provides or ?????

Anyone here have a firm hands-on experience with them?

Is there some special back-door deal he doesn't advertise?

Thx. It's hard for me to wrap my thick head around him.

Well put Steven, and my question exactly.

First, I will not hold his criminal incarceration against him personally, we all make mistakes, he made some, he paid a price, and is entitled to a second chance. Are these robberies suspect? IMHO, definitely yes, but I will not accuse him of anything since I was not there and I do not know. I am glad no one was hurt, regardless of the circumstances, and hope this is all cleared soon.

But do BUSINESS with this guy and TPG!?!?!?!?!?!?! Never, I don’t care how good the deal appears to be. As you put it, there are too many other options like David, Tony, OC Rolex etc. Even if I were to pay more/earn less, it is worth it.

According to his masseuse reviews via Reddit, he’s had quite a few clients.

Well said Paul and agree.

Yet even a casual onlooker sees far too many questionable 'coincidences' surrounding their 'business'. Why anyone would.... seems to me there's far more to this story. Maybe the first full service is included free of charge?

TPG literally Invited this to happen; posts private details of your life, locations, hard assets, cash, watches, then... leaves the door unlocked! No cameras, alarm system or protection measurements? If I'm an insurance adjuster looking at this something smells fishy. Time to rethink how you do business and turn down the high profile lifestyle.

x3. And from a personal standpoint, I would feel uncomfortable amplifying Reddit hearsay. Good to avoid importing any homophobia into this space too.

It's his 'coolness' persona. Everybody wants to be the popular kid's friend, because that makes you cool by association. You get to be his friend by doing business with him.

Some people are just heavily swayed on a notion of his smoke and mirrors.

Just because I don't get it, doesn't mean that the droves of his followers don't either.

I only watch the Time Piece Gentleman videos because of Marco’s knowledge. Other than that, I could care less. I feel that they are always focusing on looking rich.

The gray market on the other hand is gray and I enjoy it.

He’s always been saying that he’s trying to get a Netflix show. Who knows, maybe he will get one. Just not the one he wants.

If anything, he will end up on American Greed. They could dramatize this up really easily and would be a good one.

Funny. My question is who in their right mind would consign their watch with him??? Does not have cash to buy 85k watch but signs a 95K a month lease. Dont wish failure for anyone but this is not going well

Why would someone offer a million dollar reward for:

They ultimately left with an empty briefcase, a laptop and over $30,000 worth of jewelry and cash.
We all know Anthony doesn’t have 1 million dollars. Something is very wrong with this situation. This makes no sense. None.

Because it was faked & they'll never be apprehended. No risk of payout.

If the LE investigation uncovers a fraction of their previous antics, they will look deeper into the potential for fraud. Tony/Travis may find his way back to prison faster than anyone thought. At least in prison Travis has a marketable skill.
