1. any adult conducting business with a company called 'Watches 'R Us' is a mark. 2. any adult conducting business with a gentleman who models themselves as a prison convict is a mark. 3. any adult conducting business without due diligence is a mark.
Interesting, you'd do your research how long the person was into horology, and in Sydney, who would you trust? Well there's a guy who is a real watch maker who invested a crateload to build watches who has been dealing for yonks, so he's the kind of person you'd deal with. It takes a long time to build reputation, so do some real due diligence, don't be a sheep.
You are absolutely correct 100% Oisin…..And yes, you could tell by this guy‘s appearance…. He’s not a refined person….! Another scam artist…! Don’t ever sell your watches on consignment ever! Good reporting Oisin…5 ✨
Anyone that get tattoos in place they shouldn't be you know there fucked up people. I got 4 tats if I could go back in time I wouldn't have never got them they make people look trashy.
Those "refined types who know about art & wine" can be scammers too, they're just better at it; look at Aurel Bacs and Goldberger, for example. Pretty silly to assume that these people are any more honest, just because they wear a suit and know a fun fact or two about grape juice.
Never buy, sell or consign a watch to a guy who: 1. Wears a ball cap backwards. 2. Wears a hat indoors. 3. Has tattoos. Etc. Why does anyone have to write this?
As an Aussie who has spent way too much money on watches, most of them from second hand dealers, what were these guys thinking? Did they do no homework before they rushed into this? There are highly reputable dealers in all the capital cities that have been around for a long time and earning very good reputations, I've dealt with a few of them with no drama. These guys were just suckers waiting to be ripped off.
Again. Who wants to deal for a time piece like this by a dumpster in the back alley from a guy who just got out jail? Why anyone does business with these charlatans is beyond me.
Hey O'Malley, you may not like everything I have to say here but ever since Roman started filming the trade shows, it has left a semi bitter taste in my mouth; The way they handle these items that we cherish, it is with no emotions, sure they are some what used to dealing day in day out and therefore, they see it as a business. However. the treatment of watches in these shows has lost some value for me in a lot of these dealers. Another big issue for me is when these guys wear watches they have for sale, that is so unethical. So, yea you are right about the watch world full of cow boys. Online journalists have commented about the market being low, it is a correction in my view because prices went from 0-60 in few months with the help of guys who thought they were in the stock market with high frequency trading. I am so happy with the current state. The industry was fostering investors, rather than true enthusiasts, they are part of the problem.
Funny, about 4 yrs ago I emailed Roman to ask a few questions about a watch and mentioned why do you guys treat watches like crap and throw them around....he just said yes you are right but never really answered my question.
@@GregSmith-pb3gh IT really is off putting, it was really nice to see what goes on. I'd rather go into a so called hated AD and buy a watch whenever I can.
the same muppets who throw around watches like groceries will skin you from the value of the timepiece you want to sell if the caseback is scratched by laying flat on the bracelet. low class scumbags
These watches are just stock to them, it could be anything else… These trade shows videos are interesting for the banter but the huge mass of these watches gave me nausea. We are led to believe these are rare, exclusive and precious, etc… but in reality not so; there are truckloads of these and these are also sold by the truckload…
The people who trusted this dodgey tattooed criminal are absolutely mind blowing. There are many reputable traders in Sydney. I believe this man is either in Bangkok or Dubai
Funny thing is a watch market is worst place to do dealls, Im often buying and selling antiques, electronic. all kind of stuff that I can make some money on it, and watches are most risky, brutal, angry, fake, non trusty and ugly market from all of them. People are rude and so many scammers between them. I never buy watches for flipping, always for my self and sometimes I help people with my knowledge and many times they didn't say thank you when they know what they need. This is very ugly and specific market infected by worst people.
If it looks like crap and smells like crap chances, are it probably is crap . I feel sorry for the pigmy with the tough stickers one day he might meet a guy he ripped off and the tough stickers are not going to save him . Karma is a bitch when it bites back.
That's a very exclusive Sydney CBD address. No wonder people got hoodwinked with such a High Street location giving them confidence thinking their timepiece can be sold quickly and for a profit by a professional, successful and connected dealer. I agree with our esteemed venetian host Oisin: avoid such geezers. They can often be identified by their heavily tattooed knuckles scraping on the ground behind them and they saunter down the high street, usually dressed in bright Fluro designer garb, often in company with a rotund, short, uncouth and obnoxiously loud man-child screaming into a GoPro.
Asking for cash for significant amounts is an immediate signal of a bad operation- at the very least they are involved in tax avoidance. It’s also known that expensive watches are used for money laundering and even trafficking. People criticise authorised dealers but they offer security and you don’t have to deal with criminal types out to scam whoever they can. This sort of thing only started happening when some people started regarding watches as investments, which they are not.
I hate to say it, but I fear the same. Once the flexing and the flying starts, it just raises red flags. I own my own business and know what travelling like that costs and is there enough money in watch sales to carry all that? Please let me be wrong!
At this point I can't feel sorry for anyone that gets scammed by giving their watches for consignment. FInd yourself a brick and motor store with someone that has been in business for 10-20 years. Stop giving your expensive watches to these johnny come latelys.
The watch market world wide had such a dark side, you thank used car dealers are crooks. let me put you on a wait list and I will see if you can spend $10,000.00 bucks on a stainless steel watch. another Crime piece gentlemen !!.
I am in Dubai. If this guy is genuinely in Dubai then it would not be easier to report him to the local authorities who will do their job. Fast and efficiently. Through friends I know a local who deals with deportation of scammers. The other way to catch that guy is passport renewal as at some point he’ll need it. Yet another easy way to clamp onto someone unless that person goes rogue abroad…
How can people trust such a hooligan tattooed like a tagged public toilets' door? When walking in the Sydney's CBD, one changes sidewalk just seeing him! How people are naive and gullible....
You are not being a snob, you are just voicing what many of us think. Handing 40,000 dollars to an individual like that is a huge leap of faith. The true colours of these individuals is being exposed time and time again. ( lets not even mention the right wing elements showing their true colours from other tattooed watch dealers)
