Anthony Farrer

Hi Gentlemen
I used to watch his videos.Couple of weeks back he posted a short video telling he is temporarily not going to be posting any videos due to threat to his employees.Any one knows what happened.

I suggest you visit the sub reddit that is dedicated to him to get up to speed.

Numerous reasons though, first one being a 6th DUI, imminent return to prison for it, evading arrest, and blamed pins in his feet for not being able to do resulting sobriety test. No threats though, that's just his cover for not being able to post while in the pen.

I’d avoid that sub Reddit. I’m no supporter of Anthony, but that forum is full of the worst of humanity. Very sad to read.

IBTL.

That sub reddit is hilarious. I could care less about AF, but I get a kick out of reading that stuff.

Same. I was interested until all of that went down. Hope he gets himself to a good place.

The whole thing seems a bit grubby, even the way people talk about him. There should be a rule somewhere that we only write online what we would comfortably say to that person. (Referring to Reddit crowd, really.)

So you're saying these "clowns" are... imho... just like modern Formula 1 LOL!

Sadly, it seems popular society values Clowns versus people of actual substance. Nowadays it's not about quality, it is about...

Look

Me

Stunts to get eyeballs and ratings. Shameful IMHO.

Why not simply limit it to the objective truth?

Like others noted, there are several subReddits that follow him & have uncovered some seriously shady stuff. There's also a long thread in here on his company TPG (either in Watch Out or Who's Who).

For watch dealers, there are far too many better options. If it's just for his Youtube content; well, whatever floats your boat.
