They never had a 5522
Well last night on “TheWatchBox” Brian said they never had a 5522.
I personally couldn’t help but notice the “Watch Encyclopedia’s” (Tim) expression after Brian said that. Tim is a great guy from what I can tell and his memory is down right perplexing at times but still thought I’d share since this was kind of a huge deal which many here took opposing stances. My stance was that dealers have ways of making over retail on high demand pieces by a number of different ways. To be clear, that is just my opinion and I’m not pointing fingers but do want to spread the word about any concerning details other members may want to know before deciding to make long term relationships with others. |

I’d love to read the previous thread the OP is referring to.

It's a long thread where someone was promised a 5522 by Govberg who reneged on the deal on required the person to spend a bunch of money on other purchases first before getting a 5522. Lots of other accusations starting flying around and the thread led to multiple people being banned.
TRF has since removed the thread. |

But yes the old thread did start as you said but once people started seeing a few speculative pieces accusations began or some questioning of how they acquired some of the pieces was the main topic for a while. |

The 5522 was on their site for sale as used well above double retail if memory serves me well but Brian was quick to correct Tim that they never had one on the show. Tim seemed awfully confused after Brian made the comment so I guess he didn’t know about why it was taken down is just my guess. |

Mention you're on TRF and you'll get the royal treatment... or a contract put out on you.

The only way to know for sure is to buy 20000$ worth of jewellery, which gives access to receiving true responses from this particular AD.

FYI, they just posted a review of the 5522 on their Youtube channel, although the watch does not appear to be up yet on the website for sale -- unless it already sold.

Yea but Brian specifically stated they never had a used one for sale which is the entire point of me making the thread. Many of us saw the watch listing which was taken down once the other thread gained traction.

He says in the video it’s for sale. I would be surprised if it has sold before they got it listed. I bet they ask $55k minimum for it lol. I wonder when they got it?.....

I am sure like the last incident discussed over 22 pages it was just a rogue employee acting independent of managements wishes. Entirely innocent and coincidental and best left unmentioned to avoid tarnishing an above board AD's reputation, getting people banned, and having the thread frozen.
