All fair points except I disagree with your take on Anthony. He seems trustworthy to me and he obviously loves watches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Every watch I have sold Anthony in 3 years he has had no Issue paying me. The people he may owe money are people that he is selling watches for and many with deep pockets that do not mind. He is as trustworthy as it gets in my opinion. I have done 8-10 deals with him buying and selling. And his prices are usually below other grays |

You guys are a tough crowd and really should just respect someone turning his passion/hobby into a business. Every smaller/newer business has capitalization and infrastructure struggles. His channel would be blown up if he wasn't treating people right or not paying.
It seems you'd get a better experience with him than some AD laughing at you when you ask about the availability of a SS sport watch, the AD experience is a laughable business model. I had a friend who's dream was a white dial Daytona, he called GT and had one in 2 weeks, he knew he paid well, well above MSRP but he didn't care, he wanted the watch and had the means so price wasn't an issue. He's over-the-moon happy. |

That was intense with the other dealer.

The platona with diamonds looks incredible. I never paid much attention before, but the great video in this episode made it very appealing to me. |

Is the dealer a bigger name or just a hobby guy? I've never heard of him before.

Just finished the episode - really good. He's now implementing a vetting process to get through to him, which is smart.

I can’t explain why, but I am intrigued by this fellow and his team. I especially like Marco’s vintage Daytona

I’ve been following him since he started on YouTube. Great insight on the business. Hope he continues to do well.

These guys have done a great job on the videos—at times I forget I’m watching YouTube. One question though...has anyone noticed every member if the staff is wearing what I assume are for-sale pieces. Does anyone wonder if these pieces are listed as “new/unworn” meanwhile the staff is wearing them.
I’d hope they only let the staff wear pieces listed as “preowned”. Who knows, random thought that popped into my head as I was watching... |

Made for TV.
If his show gets picked up, he’s going big.

Oh yeah and the submariner will become unobtainium as Joe Average stretches to put $10k on his discover card and flip it.

Heck, even most flippers wear the watch with stickers on so they can flip it and still claim “unworn w/ stickers”. That’s why on some you see the stickers are lifting a bit with grim underneath. |

On another note, I can't believe a SS Daytona is $30k now? I am one of the few non-fans of that watch regardless of dial but definitely would have loved to get one when it was $20k and sold it.
Amazing to see how all models are going up recently....I got my 126715 full RG Root Beer for $32k last May....you can't find those for less than $40k now after tax. I don't buy watches for these reasons....but it's nice to see a luxury purchase actually appreciate in value, LOL. |

Anyway it’s a really fun show to watch. I was skeptical of him starting out but he gained my respect. I appreciate his honesty in exposing how the gray dealer business works. I’m also super impressed how he turned his life around. |

Does anyone know the account name they post watches for sale here on TRF? Anthony has mentioned to one of his employees several times about postings to TRF. Sounded like for sale psotings.

That is so odd. Banned. He clearly has talked about TRF posting in recent videos. |
