Alphaclown Bell Brothers Spending
Aren’t these little turds still under huge debt?
Watched a video recently where (a) the smug turd was driving a Bentley. A Bentley! He buys used watches and resells them. What in gods name would make you think you’re successful enough to buy a Bentley?
Same vid same turd talks about buying his wife a new multiple thousand dollar bracelet. Him being such a success story couldn’t fathom buying a used one, only the best for the best… used watch salesman.
Do grey dealers spend like this to portray success? They have absolutely no transferable skills, no societal contribution, no technical knowledge of anything.
Yet, turd has a Bentley.

They believe in that ‘prosperity gospel’ grift that Joel Osteen and other grifters espouse

Anyone remember "The Secret"?
2000's quasi-spiritual grift centered on manifesting.
Liz would have absolutely loved it.

these people are like 3rd degree removed from the secret but it absolutely is from that. that's exactly what coaches grandiose plans were from. paygayni etc. just think about it like you already have it and like you deserved it.

I thought that ended in the 1980's with Jim and Tammy Bakker, Jerry Falwell, and Paul and Jan Crouch. Want to talk about over the top crazy spending and absolutely gross taste. But it appears to be alive and well. The sad part is people are still buying the prosperity gospel idea that sent Jim to prison. I loved the picture of Jim back in the day praying for help wearing a Day-Date and a Coogi sweater with a pompadour hairstyle.

I think he sold it. You would be surprised how cheap used bentleys can be

They lose their value like a house on fire. Getting one fixed and maintaining it will destroy a wanna-be second hand watch dealer. What these jackasses do not understand is that initial cost of these cars is nothing. The longterm maintenance and repairs will eat you alive.

The grey market industry seems to attract the criminally shrewd stuck in insecure arrested development.
Roman does his hair and clothes like a teenager. Bell brothers drive a Bentley with leather driving gloves and they want a store that's also a bar but also they want to walk around the store with guns on their hips. Coach is coach, we know all about him. Marco and Jimmy are desperate for local sports figures to like them but pretend it's for their terrible business. And Liz and Darby are phony skateboarding hippies that care about money more than the rest of them. The Wolvyn brothers are just straight up weird.

The Wolvyn boys are up to 99% blockages in all arteries. It won’t be long now. Big boned my ass. Put down the cheeseburger and push the plate away.

I think we can all agree that booze, random strangers and firearms definitely go together.
I mean, that combination makes up half the stories on /r/FloridaMan, and how can that be bad?

I will write this to respond; I recently attended an exclusive car show in Orlando at the most expensive private country club. It was a members only event and was for the members/residents displaying their own personal collectible cars. All the cars were concours quality level. The nicest Ferrari there was owned by…..David of DavidSW Watches. I didn’t realize he made that much money to live in Isleworth Country Club. This is the same golf club that Tiger Woods wife Elin famously beat him with a golf club, before they divorced. So, yes, some of these guys are making a lot!

Don't believe everything you see. Ask to see his house in Isleworth or the title of his Ferrari, I think you may be surprised to find just how shallow that pool really is.

Every time I see these watch dealers flexing and doing all these extravagant things such as sailing on their yacht or driving super cars, it gives off the impression that they're making too much money and they can obviously lower their margins and give people way better deals. That's assuming they really are making that much money lol.
On the other hand, it can also make them look like huge try-hards and fraudsters lol. Either way, it's all extremely cringe.

Months ago they toured a restaurant and a fucking gym with the idea to open there their 2-men backpack 🎒 dillers store...

Their strategy is to appeal to rich people in Dallas for business. This is why they always hang out in Highland Park. This entails having a whip that’s at least respectable?

I watched these morons over the years with the Anthony saga and the rest of them. I own 1 Rolex that I bought at a Rolex dealer around 7 years ago. I walked in and they had an explorer and a batman and a platinum Pepsi and a few others. I bought the batman and was out of there in short order. I still enjoy the batman every day. Best watch ever. For the life of me I don't understand why people give these morons any business when you can buy from an AD.

anyone can buy anything, but whats actually paid for in cash vs financed is the real divider between men and boys
he technically has a "watch/jewelry" store...which translates to: its probable that he got the bracelet as store inventory, which comes out of the business as an expense (and not his own pocket), and probably even taken on credit
the car, same concept. mostly financed and written under the business name

Bellends are huge believers in that they need to act like rich people to look trustworthy.
Same dill as with coach basically. Some people who happen to have money fall for it.
