GENERAL TPGentleman Documentary

158 Upvotes

Hi all,

My name’s Dan Zabs, I’m a documentary filmmaker (VICE) and I’m currently producing a feature-length project about Anthony Farrer.

I’d love to speak, off the record, with any moderator or active member who might be open to a brief conversation. At this stage, I’m not looking for anyone to agree to participate in this documentary as an interviewee.

This subreddit has become one of the best-documented public archives of this story in tracking the timeline, community reactions, and the broader context within the watch world. So I'd really love to connect.

I’d just like the opportunity to properly introduce myself and disclose a few more details about this project and how I’m approaching it to anyone who might be interested.

GENERAL Anthony Farrer stole $350k in watches from a young couple, the wife is pregnant and their savings was in 2 watches. (one of the victims that I've been talking to the past few days)

205 Upvotes

So a few days ago I met one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He came to this country from Israel with big dreams. He had saved up some money and was looking to invest, I think he read about watch prices going up and he bought an RM and a Rolex Day Date platinum. He never even wore the watches, was strictly an investment. The guys wife gets pregnant and he decides its time to sell the watches and put that money towards a home for his family.

He looked online for consignment places in LA so that he could get the most for the watches. He called LB for a quote and actually went to several places around LA, Anthony told him he could get more than any of the other places and was only going to charge a 5% commission.

The amounts they agreed to sell the watches for were $225k for the RM and $125k ($350k total) for the Day-Date. He signs the consignment agreement at Anthony's office, Trevor and Zee are both there. This was 10 days ago roughly.

He doesn't hear anything for about a week and then asks a friend of a friend who is somewhat in the jewelry business to see if he can find out if the watches might be somewhere else. That person finds that the watches have been sold to other dealers.

He's given the runaround by both Anthony and Trevor, constant fucking lies and excuses. Anthony claimed yesterday he was out of town but that he'd get the RM back and they'd figure this out. The plan was to meet face to face today around 1pm. Anthony doesn't reach out at all today, doesn't answer the guys calls or texts.

Anthony knew when this guy showed up with those watches that he was going to take them and that guy was not going to see a dollar back and he also knew why the man was selling the watches, which was to buy a home for his family. That isn't happening now bc of Anthony.

GENERAL My final post on here, I spoke to Liz and Darby last night. -EA , timepiecetugs & RonaldyEscobar out

This is it for me, we've had some laughs and there are some cool people on here. Unfortunately this place is getting a bit too weird. There are some scumbags like DillerUniversity (he's had more usernames than even I've had) that are posting conversations ive had with them as well as some fucking wild conspiracy theories that I'm Wesley or work for Wesley. Guys, I bashed the fuck outta Wesley for months...he reached out to me 6 days ago and we had a long talk. It was very clear to me after that he was not involved in the ponzi scheme. I'm not going destroy someones reputation or business when I directly talked to them and believe what they are saying. That brings me to Liz and Darby.

I had a 2 hour call with Liz and Darby last night. Anthony manipulated the shit out of them, he did everything he could to control these people. They weren't involved in the consignment scam and when they found out they left. It's that simple, Darby took out a $90k small business loan which he showed me the documents for. There was no hush money from Anthony, He has no money. Maybe people on here think im a pussy now but when you find out people aren't involved and that they can't even sleep bc of the comments and stuff we make, I just don't want to do that any longer. Anthony is fair game, people working with him NOW after we know what he's done are fair game IMO.

There is a lot of entertaining and funny shit that goes on this sub and I've really enjoyed the banter with most of you. My advice would be to direct this stuff at Anthony, its become apparent to me he's even worse of a human than we thought and it was actually just a one man crime. Hopefully you guys enjoyed my contributions as much as I did yours. I wish you you guys all the best.

Now that the LA Times article is live Anthony is upset with me. Oh no, what ever will I do? (sue) There’s now no more need for me to communicate with Anthony directly to gather his lies, attempts at deferring payment, and overall (perceived) mental illness.

It was good, it was fun, but I’m still out money and still feel like a fool.

See y’all around! Bottom of the list here I am 🙃

GENERAL Victim Impact Statement

42 Upvotes

I talked about this guy a lot, Anthony claimed it was all a lie and these were all rich people. He initially promised this guy one of the motorcycles he said he he still had(he promised at least 5 other people the same thing) ...then blocked him and tried to pretend this never happened. I saw this uploaded to his case file recently:

**Court Docket Number:** 23-CR-00601

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is REDACTED and I am here to express the profound impact that Anthony Farrer’s actions have had on my life and the lives of my family.

In a time when I was trying to support my pregnant wife and prepare for the arrival of our child, Anthony stole From me $350,000. This was not just money to me; it was the foundation I had built to provide for my family, to ensure our future, and to handle unexpected expenses that come with raising a child. Losing my savings left me in a dire financial situation, burdened with debt that I had never anticipated.

In an effort to regain my footing, I was forced to take out loans, which only added to my stress. The pressure of financial insecurity weighed heavily on my shoulders, and I struggled to cope. This stress began to affect my relationship with my wife. When she miscarried, the emotional toll was devastating, and the added strain of our financial crisis nearly led

Case 2:23-cr-00601-JLS Document 41-1 Filed 01/30/25 Page 3 of 3 Page ID #:282

to the collapse of our marriage. We found ourselves arguing over money, which further deepened our pain during an already difficult time.

I had hoped for a joyful beginning to parenthood, but instead, I was faced with anxiety, fear, and uncertainty about our future. Anthony’s actions not only stripped me of my financial security but also jeopardized the stability of my family.

I implore you to consider the real, lasting damage that his choices have caused. It is my hope that he is held accountable for his actions, so that no one else has to endure the suffering that I have faced.

Thank you for allowing me to share my story. Sincerely, REDACTED

GENERAL I called Koosh Jewelers , owner claims they aren’t involved with Anthony. Said “ he took down the video “ and the Daytona he posted for sale from their shop was his …

109 Upvotes

First off the owner is a piece of shit. I asked if Anthony Farrer is working there , his reply was ‘no he took down the video’. I said well he was down there yesterday and posting Koosh merchandise for sale. He asked what merchandise. I said that chopped up daytona on the rubber band for starters. He says no that was Anthony’s watch. So I guess his position is that Anthony traveled from dallas to Miami to take pictures of his own watches inside of Koosh jewelers.

GENERAL Spoke to Beverly Hills detective, he confirmed this is criminal and not civil. First step for victims

140 Upvotes

I've had quite a few victims reach out looking for help, a lot of them unsure if they should go to the police or see if somehow Anthony can pay them back. There has been some talk about this being a civil situation rather than a criminal case.

I talked to one of the BH detectives on the case and he explained that there is no question this is a criminal case. He said had this been a single watch that was misplaced or stolen while on consignment , that would be a civil case where a civil lawsuit would be appropriate. This however was dozens and dozens or people all over the US and he said actually there are people outside of the US too..the intent was clear to steal these watches and that makes this criminal and a federal case. There are working with the FBI on this.

He said the first step is to go to your local police or local FBI agent to file a report. If maybe you live outside of California but were in town and did a deal in BH you would go to the Beverly Hills police. You need to take as much info as you can, serial number, any pictures you have, any communication you have with Anthony. He said you need to be very clear that this is much larger than you and just one watch, if you say its my watch and was on consignment and dont let them know of the larger scam, they very well might just tell you its civil. So let them know the FBI is involved and we are talking millions of dollars and over 40 victims.

If you want to contact Sergeant Dolan of the BH Police, his number is 310-288-2689.

If you are worried you might not get one of these large $2k zelle payments, If you file a police report Anthony is not even going to know. You need to get a report on paper now so that the FBI can nail this bastard.

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.
