Not to mention, a few episodes back, Farrer was speaking with his administrative team and they explicitly discussed how an all-new website was almost ready to go. We know they’ve been planning to move to a larger retail space (or multiple locations) to accommodate their rapid growth, for months, and in fact, in one of the most recent videos, Farrer told their commercial real estate agent that they needed to have a new lease signed as soon as possible to meet an impending deadline. But that’s not proof anything dubious has happened. Of course, the blackout was unexpected, even amongst the closest friends of the show. Most tellingly, their flagship YouTube channel is still online.Īs a background to those that have never seen the show, it’s weekly “A Day in the Life Of” YouTube show about being a secondary watch dealer and it’s not scripted per se, but as someone that’s watched all episodes - because it offers an interesting and educational behind-the-scenes look at the secondary watch market - there’s clearly a storyline. Also important to note, the website being set to “Private Site” does not mean it was deleted, and social media accounts can typically be set to private or paused without actually deleting them. In fact, the lawyer went on record to say that all investors who have put in money to be part of their VIP watch network have been able to reach the team during this media blackout. Running off with investors’ money is definitely illegal, but as the lawyer representing The Timepiece Gentleman rightly stated ( i n this video from today), there’s no evidence that Anthony Farrer or his business partner Marco Nicolini ran away with anyone’s money. Going dark on social media is not something an active company typically does - although Bottega Veneta famously deleted all of its social media accounts earlier this year. The website and social media pages have not been responsive, so people consider it a Gentleman Scam. It is not confirmed by the government.Ĭomment or scream about these scams? Comment below.The Timepiece Gentleman is a Dallas-based secondary watch dealer that has become rather famous over the past few years, leading up to this week when all its social media channels went dark. This is a surprise as the owners recently raised $2000 cash from collectors, promising to offer Rolex watches at affordable rates. Timepiece Gentleman is a well-known Dallas store with thousands of satisfied customers. SquareSpace has shut down the website and Instagram pages of the store. However, none of them have confirmed that the looting took place. The group was supported by consumers who said they were a reputable company with a track record of success and that doing a Timepiece Gentlemanscam seems awkward.Īt the moment, there is no information on whether the group swindled $2000 from consumers. Readers must wait until confirmation is posted online. Consumers must wait for confirmation online before they can review the comments and discussion. Many consumers used social media and forums to discuss the matter.
However, the Dallas office, website and social networking page of the store are not functional.
This has led to consumers deeming it a scam. This is Gentleman Scam. In order to sell Rolex watches wholesale, the store collected more than $2000 from various collectors. The store’s official website, shop, and social media page have stopped working since they received the money.
Squarespace is currently unavailable and their Instagram page is also not functioning. The Dallas office is also closed and the gilt logo at the front door of the store has been scratched. After their official website was down, a discussion forum and social media group looked into storing a scam.
