Ha! Yes, I raised an eyebrow at that too. With all (ahem) due respect, when did that pundit become a criminologist. Cracking journalism!

He’s a pusher for the greys. All he does is - AD BAD! AD BAD! AD BAD!
What about all the negative grey news? How about his G4P friend who has shut down his business because of DUI and about to go to prison again? How about greys who keep a link on purpose to resell later when they promised a BNIB watch? How about greys voiding Rolex warranty by opening the case back for inspection? All these while claiming watches are BRAND NEW YEAR 2022/2023 etc. How about greys being forked tongue by saying they polish pre-owned watches to make it attractive for customers, yet low balling customers who polished their watches via RSC? Mind you, greys don’t even send their watches to RSC for servicing and polishing…. So which random dude is tinkering with the watch without proper qualification to do so? The silence from Thorpe is SO EFFING DEAFENING!

But watch theft is no doubt on the rise. A broken clock is right twice a day….

Yeah, that was big news when that happened. He spent so time distancing himself from his son’s activities.

He sure knows a lot for not liking him. I know PT was around a while back, then disappeared and is now back. That's about the extent of it.
