I hope everything works out for them and I enjoy watching their series, plus they have also paved the road for Roman to get back into sharing more content again. With that said you cant talk about your million dollar personal collection and then in the very same day ask for 2 million from random people with no equity stake. Just sell that collection and put it in the business which you did awhile back (He's scared of saying he doesn't have a top notch collection). I don't get why on gods earth you want a thousand people to be hounding you about their deal and giving them the perception they will get special treatment. Basic common business concepts are being voided and that's what's causing everyone to be like wtf in the threads. Hell give Roman equity, if not already. I can already see the chaos ahead if they get the monies from the public for a name plate. For gods sake don't slaughter the sheep, bc in the end the blood trail will always lead back to one place. Love the show! haha

The show started off well enough a few months back. Now, it’s getting very messy. Why does he need so many sidekicks in the office, all the so called million dollar collection but no money to put a shop together, the new sales girl dressed in lingerie... it’s not going to end well the way they are tracking.

Wondering if any of the participants are TRF members. Would he be interesting to get an insider view on what your $2K actually gets you.

So I thought about it... The $1M collection and raising capital didn’t bother me. I work in private equity, you would be surprised how many owners raise capital with no skin in the game. What got me was the “wholesale pricing”. Initially of interest, then upon reading the email they point out the pricing is for watches they want to move quickly. The models I want, and you all would want, move quickly on their own. So that was a showstopper for me.

With that said, raising capital without equity and then being somewhat obtuse about what the $2k actually gets you (statement, perception then reality) will ultimately end in a lawsuit or several lawsuits.

He’s entertaining, and the joys of a private company mean no EBITDA to worry about. But I don’t think he is a prudent businessman. Spending $250k on dinners out is reckless for a business the size of theirs. Buying a G550 and Lambo just add to that. This is a lifestyle company for him. I still of course wish them the best.

I agree, but I’ve seen crazier. I took a bar public one time... An actual bar, or specifically a cigar lounge. I advised them against it but they insisted. The IPO was something like $.000035 a share or something stupid like that. Needless to say the organization ended up being taken private and closing their doors permanently.

I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve never heard of a company raising money, while giving absolutely no value for the raise. The worst part, I’m certain he will get it.

This guy will eventually leave someone holding the bag. It’s likely going to be about 1000 people for $2,000 each.

To be honest it’s the people that actually pay the 2K that are the suckers. To be part of what?? Someone else’s business? Their smart for asking for money. Their whole life spending is written off as business expense. Eating out 17k. Write it off cause it’s for content. New 2 million penthouse. Bussiens expend. Labo? Bugatti? Business expense. Need content.

To my dismay it seems odd to spend 2 million on a renovation in a rented space even if it’s for 10 years. Well if it’s not their money I guess spend 3 mil. Why not? After 10 years then what? I guess go to more fans and beg for their money to pimp out a new place. Oh. And give them a plaque somewhere. These guys are letting it get to their heads.

Smart move to have apart from 2mil free fund a database with 1000 potential buyers throwing at them watches someone out of 1000 will always buy
This if everything goes according with their plan

Well, it is not the one who asks……but the one who accepts

Good show for us to watch and wish them to stay true

I was on their website today and noticed that the offer " layaway".

IT LOOKS LIKE A TOTAL SCAM TO ME.

Layaway is for reserving and item so that it is not sold to someone else. Their version of layaway involves sending them money for free. Once you have sent them enough money to buy a watch them let you buy a watch.

These guys have no financial literacy and they are showing it.

I hope someone from their organization reads this.

Their layaway program is a joke designed to scam idiots into giving them a free loan.

They’re raising $2m in capital to build out a new storefront. In exchange for $2000 you become a VIP client and have access to wholesale pricing. Pretty much it. You may also get to do a meet and great. Hilarious stuff.

Their videos are very entertaining, but I’m not likely to ever do business with them as I only buy from my AD at retail.

Other watch Youtubers have charged a subscription to be part of their limited “Finders Group” or whatever, like Random Rob, but that only turns me off and I just unsubscribe after getting tired of all the talk about their private founders group activities and giveaways only available if you buy into their group.

Timepiece Gentleman have a great business plan, but they may turn off a lot of people on this deal.

Take 2,000, split it 4 ways and buddy up with 4 sales associates at 4 separate ads. Straight up send out the bribe money. Roll my dice that way. Ad events and swag bags is a way better investment than drywall and paint for this kids youtube studio / lounge.
