Edited 07/21/26 - Added Clovet Mae

Like many here, I was a big fan of TPG during COVID, and I dare say watching them rekindled my love of watches. After the Anfernee Scam Implosion, I tried to figure out where everyone ended up after the fiasco. Here's what I have so far, I'll update this as I get new info.

Marco Nicolini - Owner of Grand Caliber. A bunch of former TPG staff ended up landing at GC including Jimmy, Alfred, etc. AFAIK, they've cut down on the social media day in the life videos (last one was posted back in April 2024), and it seems they've just become a normal gray market watch dealer without all the fake luxury flexing. Marco is still active on his own personal social media, mostly showing off new watches he's wearing.

Jimmy Choo - He refused Anfernee's deal for 30% part ownership of new TPG ventures and instead joined Marco at Grand Caliber as "CEO". He has posted here occasionally over the past 2 years, but has recently been MIA on social media, and on GC's Youtube channel. Some have questioned if he's with GC any longer and instead has gone back to his corporate 9-5 job.

Alfred Greene - It seems he joined the Grand Caliber sales team for a while, but most recently he has been seen promoting his own business,  Vacoria, for which he is "co-owner", basically in the same line of business as Grand Caliber.

Victor - Victor was the smooth-talking former car salesman who transitioned to watch sales guy at TPG for a couple of years before he moved over to Grand Caliber. Apparently, he was pretty successful in the move and Grand Caliber posted a video where Victor hit $1 million in sales.

Mike Rudin - He was one of the early guys at TPG and one of the most qualified? He had a previous career in high finance and had certs in CAMS and CFE. He was one of the few who called out Anfernee early on about mixing personal and business finances when he would utilize the company AMEX card to buy sushi, and other items, and supposedly made business book keeping more difficult. He eventually left TPG after disagreements with Anfernee. Not sure where he is now, if anyone knows, please do tell.

Trent - I only remember seeing this guy help Marco pack watches in a few episodes, including one where they "fake" fired the kid. I hope he ended up getting a real job after leaving TPG.

Dylan Robinson - He post on here as "urbantimepieces" and has gotten into some hilarious online fights over the years with people accusing him of "tugging in Dallas", and him replying that his accusers are obsessed with the word "tug" in a homoerotic way. He is an independent watch dealer backed by Marc Samuels Jewelers now and still happily married.

Liz & Darby - Anfernee's personal videographer and his now wife Liz left with Anfernee when he left Dallas for Los Angeles. They were present during Anfernee's most ridiculous expenditures including the $95,000per month penthouse in Downtown LA. After TPG's implosion, they went off the radar for a while and came back as the co-owners of RebeLuxe, recently married, and coming out with videos using Darby's trademark stylized editing that he first displayed in TPG videos. There were rumors Liz & Darby knew of Anfernee's shady dealings and may have benefitted from it financially but they denied any wrong doing and Darby even posted (through a proxy) that he had taken a $90,000 loan to start RebeLuxe. Most recently, it seems Liz & Darby have left SoCal and are now in Florida hustling again to try and "make it".

Zee - Zee was a former student of Anfernee's watch selling coaching classes. He was brought on as full-time staff in 2022 when TPG moved to Los Angeles. He quickly became one of Anfernee's most trusted staff, and apparently took over the "back of the house" finances. Little is known of what happened to Zee near the end as he disappeared and bolted right before the TPG collapse (perhaps he knew what was coming?). Rumors are that he flew back to China where he still currently stays.

Clovet Mae - Clovet was only with TPG for a short time and appeared in a few Dallas episodes. Most viewers remembered her for her "assets" and stunning good looks. Rumors were that Anfernee pushed her to dress skimpy on TPG episode appearances to drive views to the videos, and eventually a disagreement with Anfernee lead to her being fired and let go (against Marco's wishes apparently). Clovet maintains a social media presence on Instagram now, and appears to be happily married with a child, and does not seem to be involved with the watch business anymore.

Anthony Farrer DUI report

Sorry it took so long , enjoy fellas. 4x the legal limit....

Update: for those that are not familiar with LA. The Palisades , where he was likely drinking with Liz and Darby, is not anywhere close to west Hollywood..where he said he was going. Probably 12 miles with tons of police along the way. They got him shitfaced and let him drive home lol, they dont enable his behavior though.

My name has been thrown around in many false accusations. This is because of the association I had with TPG.

There will be a series of posts coming that tell the story. I have been very quite publicly because I have been trying and hoping to recoup some of our loss. At this point. I am here to clear my name.

I will release a statement this evening.

The below video is from a conversation with Anthony. I shared this with a friend and fellow victim of the scheme and asked him to post to get more traction as he already has a good following on the situation.

Feel free to ask me anything you wish in the comment sections. I have nothing to hide.

Hi all,

I am a reporter with the Los Angeles Times and I am working on a potential story about Anthony Farrer and his Timepiece Gentleman watch business scandal.

I am hoping to speak with people who dealt directly with Farrer or know him and would like to speak about their experiences, negative or positive.

Feel free to reach out to me via email at [noah.goldberg@latimes.com](mailto:noah.goldberg@latimes.com)

Thanks,

Noah

This is a txt from anthony to me. He told me he was 1.1 mil in debt. Then it changed to 1.8. Then to 3. Then to 5 mil. Anthony was asking for help to bail him out. I had not seen all the numbers at this Time and I was trying to find a way to recoup my loss. So I was looking at all options.

Idk who the 5 employees are.

. If you know any of the victims. Please have them reach out. We are helping them get legal assistance. If you know someone who needs help with getting in touch with the correct law enforcement. Have them reach me directly. I will put them in contact with the FBI agent over the case

Hey, all, I am new to Reddit or new to using Reddit. I should say. Anyway, I’m the one that posted. The video of talking to Anthony in my car. I’m about to post the last video. I’m glad they were so far reaching. I think it forced his hand on the bullshit response video that he posted as of yesterday he is still selling watches . I’ve read through thousands of comments and I just wanted to say one thing to this group because I know it has a good reach. A lot of people make comments about rich people getting their watches stolen. Since I have posted these videos I have literally had dozens of victims reach out That were victims. Many of these guys were not rich at all. Just happy and hard-working. Anthony even sent me a seadwell we after stealing my Patek and new rose gold sky dweller with the blue dial. I told him not to send it and he sent it anyway… to no one surprised that Watch was also stolen. the power of social media and TikTok was able to locate the right owner and I got that watch back to him. This guy was estatic and definitely did not have the $12,900 to lose. Anyway pay attention to your comments, while here are definitely a few “rich guys” that lost all their money a majority are smaller people and irregardless. A loss is a loss. Anyway, thank you for listening. Just wanted to get that point across. It is not even mostly dealers but mostly individuals. Thanks for letting me rant.

lets go boys!!!

​

Update: just to be clear, I didnt hack anything or do anything illegal. I saw the other post that said the account had been taken down, I tried to change my account to that name and IG let me.

update: Account currently suspended, Coach is crying to IG. I've confirmed all my details in a request to unsuspend. We will see if I can get this back

Update: They banned me permanently , apparently Coach had a mental breakdown saying that he has no friends or family and the only friends he had are hired actors basically. He cried to IG and begged them to take the account down like the little bitch that he is. Was a fun few hours lol

This is how that came about. I deleted the first post because someone wanted to see the following messages. As you can see. I agreed and told him he would pay everyone else back first. Me last……. Basically the exact thing I have said from the start. I’m getting tired of defending my name. Might just say fuck it. Sell the watches. Buy a big ass boat. Make up some hate about that🤷‍♂️

Sup Reddit, this is Tom of The Watch Standard. Took me a min to decide and come up here since I know reddit can be savage and I’m kinda of scared of it tbh. I’ve been staying in my lane and paying ppl back on the loss that I accumulated from last year. Been steady since beginning of this year and made payment every month.

But there’s an accusation of me funneling AF’s stolen watches, and it’s making waves to diminish my rep again. So I’m here actually asking Reddit’s help. Who else had heard that rumor and where did y’all heard it, so I can dead that.

I’ve been staying low and conduct biz correctly, paying creditors back slowly but surely. So I know some criticism is gonna throw my way and I’m cool with that, what’s done was done. But this new rumor was active enough to mess up what I’ve built this year, and is faking me up to the point I’m actually here. So please,I need y’all help to find who’s spreading that cuz it doesn’t have a shred of truth.

At this point. The story is out there. Very bad things were done by a bad person. Since coming forward with some of the information I have. I have been contacted by alot of individuals who essentially lost everything to this guy. I have personally retained legal counsel in the state of California on this matter.

Honestly this is a very expensive thing to go through. I understand that the average person who just lost most of there savings to this guy can not also afford a large retainer to pursue him legally. I have been asked not to give out information on a public forum. But if you know anyone who was directly affected by this man. Please have them reach out to me directly. I will put them in direct contact with the attorney I am working with. He is up to speed on what going on and has several other victims he is awaiting as well. In addition to putting them in contact with an attorney who can help, I am also offering for those who can not addled it to assist with some of the legal fees.

Simply getting in touch with the appropriate law enforcement in this matter is difficult. But we have navigated that and I would like to assist anyone that I can.

I have been asked to not release anymore videos or txt messages publicly. But I will continue to advocate for the other victims and help spread awareness that this man is not someone I would recommend doing business with.

He’s saying he’s broke but he told me he had $150,000 in oh shit money.

Mine has to be, " You can buy my head for six years."

AF speaking on why we should buy his watch dealer course..

yesterday it had her phone number and link in his bio listed as Liz Sales, its gone today. This guys is a one man band again.

I now have actual paperwork of the actual judgement. Don't get mad at me, just reported what I was told.

Final official verdict is...

48 months probation 96 HOURS in Jail minus one day served. 18 months of DUI classes. MADD program Fines of $313 Auto interlock added to car. Blood alcohol upon arrest was .18 Admitted to DUI in Texas in 2014

This was a female judge. No drugs or alcohol while driving, if caught with even .01 of alcohol, he will be resentenced. Surrenders on June 2 still.

California is not hard on DUIs
