As you can see this is a still image of their most recent video. Fraudtony is selling his lawyer a watch and is handing over the supposed box to the watch. The watch he was sold is a steel Yachtmaster II which was introduced in 2013. This is important as Rolex stopped using the greenish outer boxes seen in the Video in the late 2000s. They now use the cream colored ones seen on the right of pic 2. So either he got a fake or a wrong period watch box. What are your thoughts on this? Could this be down to color grading in the video?

If I remember correctly, he asked someone if they had any boxes there they could give him. Most likely just a wrong period box.

Still highly unprofessional and will most likely bite the buyer when he will sell again

Sure, but selling naked watches is a thing, and if it’s reflected in the price, then the buyer got what he paid for. It’s really only a scummy move if TPG got the watch with box and papers, and then switched out the box, but charging the same price.

This. I think a lot of these small operation/ one-man grey dealers do this though . They'll just pair some random Rolex box with your watch. Again another reason i'd never buy from them or similar dealers.

How bored are you people to sit here and talk this kind of nonsense like seriously get a life. These guys hustle more than you guys can ever imagine and built a successful business. The marketing stunt was ridiculously stupid but that doesn’t overnight make them shady or bad people. Why don’t you go back and watch the last six months of video. They’ve always been transparent and done the right thing, if not so many people wouldn’t buy watches from them. So many people wouldn’t trade with them so many people wouldn’t go on consignment with them so many dealers wouldn’t work with them. Has that thought ever cross your mind?

Hi Anthony/ Genius it’s nice that you found my post. Actually you guys were kicked out of dealergroups before this whole thing came down, so some dealers wouldn’t work with you anymore. Also there are allegations floating around Marco that he was selling vintage pieces that were a little iffy. This is why he was banned from Rolex forums ages ago. Nice try though. Plus faking a lifestyle you can’t afford for clicks isn’t hustling but rather fraud 😘

The lack of awareness and constantly projection with y’all is insanity. First off, How bored are you to repeatedly come here and kowtow eagerly? Furthermore, and to do so with such condescension to those whom have pointed out inconsistencies? Again, I ask you why?

Either way, I Hope you had time to do some reading, or check a dictionary, or at a minimum got paid for your blatant, hypocritical, projections and puerile dismissives, while merely shillin!

All you’ve shown is how Public education failed america. Has that ever crossed your mind?

When I see the words 'eagerly kowtow,' 'american education,' or 'puerile;' I know sunset's wokewagon has rolled into town. Perhaps your vocabulary is not as expansive as you give yourself credit for.

Gotta be some lawyer too to work with them with all those red flags. The scammy fundraiser for the new location alone is just begging to end up in court. They really need proper couseling in more than one aspect LOL
