The Timepiece Gentleman YouTube entity is obviously geared towards a younger audience, which is fine by me. My man Tim Mosso and the WatchFinder dude.are my current go to jams. I remember when all them influencers were trying to push micro brands, and in their livestreams they would say, oh, I wouldn't buy any of them.OK. Maybe as I get older, I get grumpier and these types of influencers are so lame. But, I would not go to his channel to learn about horology. I will say he is pure business man and he is doing well for himself. Part of my disdain is he has finally shown me that all this Rolex hype is truly artificially inflated by the likes of him. In another video, he wants to take investment money and buy a Lamborghini. Then why do I hear him yelling and swearing at customers for backing out of a watch deal, and threatening to expose them. In one of his low-budget episodes he says he doesn't want to be on Netflix because he doesn't want to create artificial drama. The dude and his partners come of so arrogant it sickens me. I ran into this Reddit thread because I was wondering if other people had similar opinions such as mine. I have done it wrong for 39 years of my life and I need to reevaluate my career. If they do reach their goal of 2 million. It's amazing they can even sell at the volume they sell at and not get confused. They also just literally track sales through email, phone, and text. "This isn't just my store, but it's your store too." OK buddy. Hey, we made a lot of money this week, but we need your help to build out our dream store. Look, I was a felon and now I'm successful. Look, I bought some more watches from the AD.
Maybe eat some ramen instead of fancy $1500 restaurants for awhile while simultaneously selling your personal watch collection full of Daytonas.Įvery episode is the same. Rip off your customers and viewers so you don't have to take out a business loan like a normal human being. They are leveraging their YouTube status as much as they can, especially to suckers who want to donate 2,000 USD to be on a Facebook group with goals to get 2 million dollars to build a store? I had unsubscribed for awhile, but after a few new comments on this old thread, I did skip around the latest episode. I understand you are trying to look normal for the camera, but being maskless in a high-COVID state where thousands have died, while you are selling 10k+ watches seems kind of tone-deaf.Īgain, let me know what y’all think.and if you haven’t seen the Timepiece Gentleman his channel is definitely worth at least checking out. Even in banks or public areas, they are usually mask-free. Lastly, I’m not a COVID freak, but it bothers me that most of Anthony’s employees, clients and himself never wear a mask. No disrespect, but his audience is definitely more of the “Producer Michael” than “Tim Mosso” crowd as well. I have a ton of respect for “The Timepiece Gentleman” as a person, and his story is amazing, but the entirety of his channel makes me feel automatically more douche-y as a watch enthusiast. The entire behind-the-scenes look at how reselling works, really just proves that steel rolex and sports APs are more about hype than horology.
I respect everyone’s individual hustle, but his videos give me “uncut gems” vibes. It’s clear that he has a good understanding of watches, but he seems to be more about the $$$ than the actual watches. In my opinion, this guy is everything I hate about watch collecting. I have watched almost every video, and was wondering what the reddit watch community thought of him and his channel. The content is well produced, and it is certainly intriguing. He has a fast growing YouTube channel, that does Q/As and documentary style videos in the day of a watch reseller. You may have also seen him on TikTok or Instagram. His medium is mostly online/social media but they operate a small brick-and-mortar as well. So there’s this guy named Anthony Farrer that operates a watch resale business in the DFW area with his business partner Marco.
