He does just seem like an ultimate blagger, using daddy’s money up at the auctions trying to find good deals to then sell in town whilst pretending to ‘know about watches’.
It’s unsurprising that tiktok has now also brainwashed him into buying fakes and having the audacity to display them in what was once a respected jewellers. But it’s expected these days with these wannabe kids..
Sadly there is one in every town
I don't get it, I sold literally thousands in the mid 2000's, and I didn't want the sort of buyer who was expecting to buy a Gen for £300, for a (back then), lets say £4k Submariner.
Some of those watches are still going strong
I was up front with everyone, they were reps, they were not "bazzar canal street shit" they were the best you could get back then.
The type of guys i sold to were Accountants, Solicitors, Car Dealers, Club and Pub owners, Business owners, even friends at the Waterski Club.
All folks I had either done other business with before or friends I knew well, some who frequented our local country pubs etc.
Never the scuffy town / city bar room ex spurts, except on one single ocassion when we were in a Folkestone night club on my birthday, and some pissed up pikey kept pestering me about the 7750 Breitling Navitimer I was wearing, he obviously thought it was a Gen ..........
He was a real big geezer, a "drunken and bolshy" pain in the arse who kept on and on
So after a few "Kesh now M8" offers of a few hundred then he hits me up for a Grand
"Kesh now M8 !!" as he bunged a wad of nifty's on the bar .............
So I slapped his hand very firmly, took his money and gave him the £120 watch.
He goes back across the floor to his bretheren, showing off his purchase, at which point I said to Mel, "Sup up Minxie" as I swallowed me beer, and then we fucked off quick smart to another establishment nearer home, never to go back to Folkestone again as it turns out
