I remember after the initial stunt (before we all got bored and tuned out) Eric was on a live with the other KZfaq watch talking heads - he was the only person to call it out and really speak his mind, and you never heard from him in those circles again. Eric is the only KZfaq watch guy I would trust with my watches/money.

Eric is my kinda high integrity dude. Eric doesn’t talk big about “sales targets”, “sales volume” and “how big his business is”. Rather, Eric stays true to the watch game and his passion for watches. Stay true Eric…don’t ever change.

Sunglasses indoors is embarrassing 😂😂

It kind of makes me sick, seeing him throwing around stacks of $5,000 casino chips as if it's nothing, knowing what it means to the people who's money it actually is/was. That's a whole different level of entitlement/narcissism, to think 'it's not my money, but I deserve it more than they do'.

Let’s be real all you secondary watch guys seem shadier than a weeping willow. Respectfully

So what about calling out Roman? The guy who seamlessly pushed him everywhere? The guy who was using Anthony’s clout to enlarge his own KZfaq. Roman is very much to blame for pushing him.

Anthony always came across as slimey & arrogant, to me.

Always respected you for distancing yourself from this guy as soon as things got weird. Guys like Roman werent smart enough or just didnt care and now their reputation of 20 years is in question.

I was Team TPG from the start. I was still living at home at the time and would watch their weekly series thing on the TV in the living room. My Mom came in one day and watched part it and said "There's something off about that guy. Not gonna end well" (She's a lawyer). I kind of dismissed it until the blackout happened. Turns out she was right lol

DON'T EVER TRUST ANYONE WHO WEARS SUNGLASSES INSIDE!

Mad respect for how you’ve handled this fiasco. Other GM dealers & KZfaqrs like Roman, Nico, PT, etc. enabled and promoted this clown and have handled this despicably.

Eric you absolute G, see you soon my friend, glad you opened up!💪

I believe that Eric, Luxury Bazaar (Roman and Co), Timepiece Trading Miami, CRM Jewelers all should be held accountable. You introduced Anthony to us via your platforms and numerous collaborations, you indicated trust and reliability so customers had faith putting their watches on consignment. All these brands mentioned above - including you Eric, should have done a more thorough research on this con artist before collabing and doing business with him. I have zero trust in any of you now

There is no possible way they made enough to live that lifestyle. He was always talking about charging 5% on consignments. On a $100,000 sale, that is $5,000, not counting expenses of shipping labels back and forth, employees... He would have had to do thousands of watches a month to profit enough to live the lifestyle he had.

What other watch dealer(s) are driving Ferrari's , Lambo's on 5-10% watch sales margin hmm

Where is Paul Thorpe on all of this...he was in love with AF

This is the type of dude who isn’t really sorry for what they’ve done. They are sorry for getting caught, and that’s the only thing they are sorry for. If all of his problems went away with a blink of an eye. He would be right back to screwing people over immediately. He’s the type of guy that would look down on someone because of them wearing an entry level Rolex over a Richard Mille RM 88 that he may own.

i'm not sending my rolex to a guy wearing sunglasses indoors.. no chance

You know Watch Eric is honest because he wears sunglasses indoors.

In my opinion, Anthony Farrer was going to make off with peoples money the first time with the "blackout". But then he still had customers, suppliers, investors and people willing to work with him so he reconsidered and just kept going and dug his hole deeper.

Your companion is fighting the urge to nap.

Eric, you dont need to waste any breath distancing yourself from AF. Your content, work ethic, and customer focus speaks for itself. Could tell how pissed you all you dealers were when they did the blackout.

His you tube blew up and some watch dealers whored them self to him to get views

I picked up my GMT Master II Batman from my AD last month and we talked about the Pepsi being discontinued. She just returned from Rolex in Dallas for training and the instructor told the class that the Pepsi is NOT slated to be discontinued and the reason for inventory restraints is because they can produce 10X Black & Blue cerachrom bezels compared to Red & Blue. It's a logistics - material manufacturing thing .

I’ve been following Eric for a while now since the CRM days. I really enjoy the content and how much of a stand up dude he is. He was the only one that didn’t hold back when he did “the blackout” like Roman and the other stooges.

The Pontiff knew from DAY 1. 😅

I just figured out who Jose Feliciano 😎 is unbelieveble but true 😂

I’d say AF represents exactly what people think of the grey market (advantageous, grimey, pawnshopish) and Eric is on the other end of that spectrum; which is incredibly hard to portray online. people like Eric deserve to have have an official retail license for brands like Rolex, Patek, and vacheron; because he holds his integrity in opinion and practices while at the same time presenting products with absolute respect.

This guy is gonna be giving tuggies till his hands fall off.

The most stupidest thing I've ever seen in my entire life is a bozo wearing dark sunglasses indoors, but whatever, 🤣😂.

So... can't wait to have a side mission in GTA VI with getting watches from Eric

The fact that he framed it like he was in debt rather than having stolen from people says to me that he doesn't truly comprehend how awful the thing he was doing is.

Eric, I remember you distanced yourself when the original on of the stunts happened. good for you.

"the watch market is not dead but one dealer stole $5mm, others layoffs half their teams and prices keep falling but it's not dead" come on do you see the irony mate?

Eric stayed solid throughout the whole watch craze. He is straight up. He hasn’t snaked anyone and doesn’t play the “Buy a ticket to win a watch game”. Anyone who wants not just a sales person but a genuine watch dealer to do business Eric is the guy. Blessings 🙏

His new name in prison is going to be Jerome's Dimepiece Bandit 😂

The Pontiff called out the Tugger from the get-go. 😂

"The massage, whatever...." You mean male-on-male out call. As a dealer, Watch Eric, Nico, RayBan Sharf, Paul Thorpe, et al should have known Anthony's business model could not support Lambos, $17,000 dinners, etc.

You are part of the cartel

You wait till he’s in jail to talk trash. Sounds weak AF

Eric no sun not sunglasses needed. Are your watches blinding you?

23:23 Yeah, this rumor has never passed the sniff test.

Why do you not have prices on any of the watches appearing on your website? Seems deceptive...

Next cover the raffles at CRM…

Thanks for being one of the good ones out there in the watch game and community Eric!

Apparently the issue with the Pepsi bezel is that they’re having trouble with the blue/red painting process so basically they’re getting a lot of rejects. In the meantime I hear they’re upping the production of the Batman inserts while they perfect the Pepsis. This was what my AD manager told me. So not discontinued, just temporarily halted. Imagine getting hold of one of those rejected ceramic bezels though, there might be some cool ones.

I love the "I'm a watch and diamond dealer"....when did he ever deal in diamonds

lol dude didn’t want to address it because he was involved with him 😂 no directly but indirectly. You associated yourself with him so I make you apart of the problem

Archie Luxury knew what was up!!…say what you will about him, but, he was one of the 1st to be right about this…late to the party Eric…

He is definitely not the first and he definitely won't be the last. I got a feeling who might be next.

I don’t care what he meant to do in the beginning. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

Clicks down, so you are making a video about this now? Sunglasses indoor=shady gray dealer

You 2 geniuses just answered your own question about the red ceramic. They just wanna charge more money😂😂

Couldn’t care less about the prices- huge shout-out to you Eric- thanks for your dedication & social bloody media contributions. Much appreciated! Cheers, IF

The only lie is the comment where Eric says that he “doesn’t care if you watch this video or not.” People don’t go through the trouble of starting a KZfaq channel or post a video and spend thousands on video equipment plus dedicate time to filming if they “don’t care.” Eric, I think many would agree that it’s safe to say that you care. Otherwise you wouldn’t be doing any of these videos. If your KZfaq channel were to suddenly disappear, I believe you would still have a business. I believe you would still be able to make a good living. This is Miami, after all. We like rare, flashy and expensive things here, but you have to admit that KZfaq magnifies your business times 10 (or more). It’s easy to judge a whole industry when the few bad apples become infamous. The reality is that attorneys are corrupt. Mechanics are corrupt. Medical doctors are corrupt, and dangerous, pushing meds that will harm or even kill you. Dentists are notoriously corrupt. Bankers are corrupt. All industries have dishonest people trying to make a buck at the expense of the safety or well-being of others. Even our government cheats us. I’ve had personal experience with all of these, so this is my perspective. I’m sure many can relate. I saw Eric’s live stream when Anthony pulled the marketing stunt and disappeared from KZfaq. It was Roman’s live stream. My opinion: I saw it live and it was evident that Eric didn’t want to be there. He may have just done it for his friend. Eric immediately called out Anthony. He was brief and straight to the point. You can tell that he didn’t care about being on the live stream and he just wanted to stay away from the drama. Eric was being truthful when he said on this video that he wanted to distance himself from Anthony. Would I ever buy a watch from Eric? Yes Would I do my homework? Yes. Eric said that we all should. I would take every precaution available. Personally, I don’t know Eric. However, I would do my research whether I was hiring an attorney, getting medical treatment, buying a house, or purchasing a watch It’s unfair to judge just because someone was seen alongside 1 or 2 rotten apples. Yes, to a certain extent this is debatable and certainly depends on the offense we’re talking about. None of us would want to be judged if, let’s say, we have an idiot friend who makes a bad move and gets into legal troubles. Should we be considered unethical or immoral just because our friends are? It’s definitely a service to the public to expose the rotten apples in business so that they can stop harming and cheating the consumer, but we can’t judge everyone because of the bad deeds of the few that decide to burn the house down. No industry is exempt from the crooked cons. Don’t forget that people have families to feed. If you go into full attack mode, you’re being no different than Anthony. Eric has cojones. He’s been the only one from the industry to call out the B.S. Would I buy from Eric? Yes! He seems legit, passionate about the industry, and there’s no doubt that he’s pro! But, moral of the story: Always do your homework, not matter who you’re dealing with. If not, you can only blame yourself if shit hits the fan. Dale! ✌😎

This week on American greed . Social media sensation and sales superstar 😂😂

I like how you guys are sitting for apart from each other. No diddy!😂😂😂

If your not bothered if people watch this then delete it

It’s funny to see him say he drinks to sleep then showing him balling out in lambos and mansions is the biggest joke .. I feel nothing for people like this . He has never worked a real job and earned a honest dollar .

Who the hell is this black dude who tell people to ‘get rid’ of their 116? If anything, Eric should get rid of him before he destroy his carefully curated business. This guy has bigger eco then Anthony

It is about time Eric

I feel you are the most genuine of the bunch Eric, thanks for putting this out and wish you success in your business

I wonder if that snake Thorpy will bail Anthony out.

red flags were always there, even for the people that were knowingly doing business with him, plain and simple. even the most "experienced" older watch dealers fell for it.

“Log off this bullshit” A1😂

Still have no idea how somebody would buy from this trainwreck, red flags were just everywhere... Tbh can't even feel sorry for the clowns who fell for this ! Keep it humble like you always did Eric 👌🏻

My man makes me laugh when he says he loves watches, but he doesn’t know it’s called a bezel 😂😂😂 🤡

I watched one video from that guy and my spider senses went off that he was a scam artist.

We’ll know something is up when Eric does not wear a black shirt 😂😂😂

I’m glad you put all those old roulette footage in. You can tell he got hooked by the look of his eyes and his addictive personality. I think the biggest reason for him scamming was bc of gambling. $3M isn’t burned through from drugs and alcohol.

He is tired because he can’t hide it anymore.

Eric.... I was happy that when the TPG Douchebag started with the drama over a year ago you distanced yourself from them while others like Luxury Bazaar seemed to hang around and share in his asshat shenanigans. I unsubscribed from anyone that associated themselves with TPG but stuck with your channel. Keep doing what you're doing and I wish you all the best.

If i were you, distance yourself Roman Sharf....do your own thing...your in the right direction

Why are you getting mad at people calling you, concerned about their watches? You should be getting mad at Anthony and the other clowns in your line of work who are making your industry look bad. Don’t misplace your frustration. Because of this shit-show, folks are starting to realize that they can’t give trust to someone just because they are a familiar face/voice on social media.

I bought my first watch (navy blue AP offshore) from you 10 years ago Eric. I wear it every single day. Looking forward to buying another from you. Great video.

At the end of the day, like what Federico said, never consign with dealers unless you have a great relationship with them, or you really trust them, or else if they screw you over, it's not a legal, but a civil case, which is a pain in the ass to deal with.

Eric has always maintained a level head

If rolex can't produce the ceramic bezels for Pepsi, maybe they should buy there bezels from pagani who sell homage watches.

Like I said when he showed up on KZfaq: First words out of his mouth set off my bulsh!t detector FULL BLAST.

Dude just sentenced himself to prison with this confession video lol. 0 leverage in negotiating a deal with feds.

If the market didn't crash it wouldn't matter what Anthony did. His demise was expedited by the market crash and the fallout from his actions have exaggerated the damage to the secondary market. If the market didn't take a dive no-one would be talking about Anthony any more they would still be getting watches out the back door of Rolex and flipping them.

He really screwed people like Eric because I will think twice now before I EVER buy from a KZfaq watch guy again! I want PROFESSIONALS dealing with that kinda money!

Eric great perspective!! Shout out from Kansas City love the content!!

Don’t be Shady Luxury bazaar and Roman.

Agree with you on the rumours of the Pepsi GMT. Spread by people who want to drive up the secondary market prices.

Would be great if you could give tips for how to know you’re dealing with a trustworthy dealer in a future vid. Thanks Eric for the content as always.

I remember when the black out first happened. You were the first and only person from the "greys" that said look man I don't want anything to do with this guy. Yet all the other were riding this guys coat tails hard. At that moment my respect for you went up ten fold. Also I like your freestyle bike

CRM jewlers does 5% commissions on some watches so you can’t say 5% is crazy

I feel like if you weren't going to say anything when this topic was hot you should have just stayed quiet now that he's in jail. Sure, people are going to say what they are going to say but for me it comes off a bit disingenuous talking about this situation and any relationship or business dealings you conducted with him in the past now that he's locked up. This video was a lose/lose situation for you.

The vid i was so much waiting for

All Rolex need to be cut by 50%, considering how many they are cranking them out.

Eric, I commend you sir. You’ve explained clearly why you haven’t said anything to date, and why you’re saying something now. And there’s a lot to be said for this. Fair play good sir. Now, some other grey market dealers should watch this and consider why they haven’t said anything, explained there views and actions etc. because frankly, they’re killing the market for themselves. It’s sad, but the end is nigh for those who don’t, won’t or can’t explain there position on this. Credit to Eric, a simple honest statement, weather you agree or not, his explanation is understandable. Here here, I tip my hat good sir.

I’m 10 minutes into this video and I’m watching a guy wearing sunglasses indoors talking about TPG. Why?

This is really old news and adds nothing to the discussion; have no idea who the other guy is or his purpose.

can you move the 3rd piece from the left of the Porsche print down.

I like Eric. He’s what he seems. Just doing watch deals, making money, and no tugging.

Your Channel was the first one I subscribed to. I forget the original name. I believe you were partnered or working with another group of people? anyways prob learned the most about the market, trends and what to look for from you. Hopefully get to meet you one day and perhaps pick up a watch. I remember when AF was checking out your porsche and for some reason I could tell that you were being cordial and polite but you still kept your distance and guard up. The reason I remember that is I was thinking you might have been stuck up at first but now it all makes sense. keep up the good work and love your channel. Mahalo!

did you force the guy to sit beside you?

Great video, I never liked that guy tpg he seemed slimey and arrogant. I’m glad it didn’t affect your business and appreciate your integrity

A thief is a thief, and that gentleman had no intentions to give nobody their money back. As soon as she started receiving that money, he went back to his old ways and there you go it is what it is.
