He really started with some serious pieces..
Not that I have a problem with younger people getting into the biz, I just think it’s something to be considered when purchasing 100k+ watches from someone who hasn’t been in the game for very long at all. He kind of just appeared one day and with the level of pieces he dealt with I just assumed he has been around for awhile..

This actually helps explain the vague and meandering "about" page at his website. If what you say is correct, that he is a senior in college (putting him at about 22), then his claim of having been in vintage since 2006 is comedy gold. Either his start in vintage at 8 years old is an example of him stretching the truth or we are basically looking at the Doogie Howser of the watch world.
I am eager to hear his version of events here. I hope he checks in. Fascinating thread!
