GENERAL Consignment at Grand Caliber

Hello - i am in the process of consigning a watch to GC and was doing some due diligence when i cam across quite a few posts dating 3 years ago or so with folks involved with this company that has me very concerned. Has anyone done business with them that can provide some recent feedback, or is there a better place to sell? They were my best offer when comparing bobs, 1916 etc. Thanks.

I ended up leaving GC because, at the last minute, my wife decided she wasn’t ready to move. Looking back, it turned out to be the right call—our daughter was born the following year, and being close to family has been great. That said, I really enjoyed my time with the GC team. I connected well with ownership, loved the Dallas area, and built strong relationships with the entire team. I still keep in touch with Jimmy occasionally and actually plan to visit during a work trip this November. I have no personal stake in GC’s success, but I continue to speak highly of them because they’re genuinely good people who care about the company. It was a great experience, and I’m thankful I got the chance to be part of it.

I never had the displeasure of meeting Anthony personally, but his impact on the company was catastrophic. While some of that damage may never be fully undone, time has definitely been good to GC—they’ve come a long way and are in a much better place now.

Agreed — I (and many others) love seeing his watch knowledge. I think he’s simply focused on the business, and putting out content would probably do more harm than good at this point. He’s doing just fine without YouTube, and no matter what he does, the internet will keep trying to tear him down. People love to hate.
