All those used rolex shops peddling watches with no box or papers provided by those same robbers. London circle of life
Papers can be fake now, very hard to see difference
If there’s a robbery you can def expect Paul Thorpe to be around lol
That’s because he’s a criminal and so is his son they sold millions in fake watches they know criminals
He said "boys we got to get out of here trust me"
Spoken like a true expert in theft and crime.
Or a bnp rally
Or his Son
that racist bastard. Im glad I never bought watches from him.
Clickbait. Let me tell you how watches get robbed in London. Someone will be wearing a watch to restaurant/club. The security guard/waiter at the place will notice that you're wearing an expensive watch.
He/she will then contact people setting you up. They will be ready around the corner of the street in balaclavas on a moped waiting for their inside man to tell them that they're leaving and so forth.
I've been Hatton garden millions of times. This is not even 10% accurate 😂
(I live 20 minutes away from Hatton Gardens. Trust me I know)
But I guess clickbait is the game of CZcams.
And I guess the only way someone can get robbed so happen is your way, cause you know... talk about mr know it all
@@kcw3733 exactly!!
@kcw3733 yeah that's the only way someone can get robbed 100% there is no other possibilities I can think of
Until they changed the way the police could ‘interact’ with moped robbers, you could get a high value watch robbed anywhere in London. Obviously gangs will target areas with more of them watches on peoples wrists.
Soon as police started crashing into the mopeds there was coincidentally a downturn in moped watch thefts 😂 who would’ve thought it 😂
I really hope this is not another one of your fake scenario videos y'all need to quit that stupid s***
@@robertqueen3695 lol what
It’s not, I filmed it.
@@CameronStyleFilmslol shut up
Agreed
Those guys are their with cameras, seem more like fans than robbers photographing (with big cams) their targets?
Direct from Anthony's playbook
Not really, he actually avoided getting robbed
Clickbait title...
Not the first time they’ve done this
And yet it worked
Welcome to CZcams…
I knew it was, I just had to click to find out how egregious it was
Thanks I’ve avoided these videos since he shafted most of his staff, I got 5 min in till I read your comment if it’s bollocks click bait I’ve not watching the rest of it 👍🏻
lol it was actually me in Hatton garden, I recognised the guys and as I love watches I just wanted to see what watches they had on , also I text my friend who is a big fan of all you guys to say you was there ??
Sorry if this scared you
😂
Jeez..... The guy with the casio
bloody fool
Yeah right? I got the same feeling, like relax go away ,man...
You mean Mr. Bean? 😊
He sounded proud to be broke, typical Scot lmao
Hilarious, I heard he got sacked after this. And has been barred from every watch event in London.
Need to hire body guards.
They can be inside men too
But I bet they tell their insurance companies that they travel with armed security, which is a prerequisite of coverage.
How do we know your watches are authentic and not Frankenwatches when you fired Peter?
Kevin now does the authentication with his vast knowledge of cell phones.
@@user-pn2vg5zz2b 😂😂😂
Know they’re going to “risky” area, roll sleeves up and flash their $100k watches talking loudly about spending huge sums of money.
When this fails they point to a group of passersby who are looking over wondering what all the noise/filming is about and claim they are a gang of watch thieves.
Pathetic.
Yeah pretty cringe acting like they’re behind enemy lines, but it makes for good TV
Almost robbed??? Just because you see someone looking at you and texting??? Absolute BS!!!
Paul thorpe is a total embarrassment
People who want to be replaced in their own countries are embarrassments
And a lying w*****r
Why what’s wrong with him ?
Those guys across the street were not thugs, the clothes and general appearance were all wrong, one of em was even carrying a camera FFS. They probably just recognized you as youtube watch guys, that said, stay alert. The thugs usually ride around 2 up on mopeds, they dress in black, grey jogging bottoms, coats and wear full face helmets. You will know them when you see them.
Those are called spotters. Obviously this location is way above their paygrade.
You have to be streetwise.
Well it’s hard to judge if they were there to look out for thing, of course they will dress like tourists to try a blend in. They are not totally stupid you know.
I live in the UK and so glad NOT in London. It is a shit hole. You can't have nice things
Well it's not like the rest of it is much better.
Was that an Apostle Spoon at the Antique Silver Boutique?
I have had zero luck finding value in watch shopping in London. The pound is too strong at the moment and VAT at 17% makes everything far too expensive.
Vat is 20%in UK and you can claim that back if not UK citizen was my understanding
@@markrichards3720 correct, 20% - since 2011. london has a concentration of interesting valuables, but i wouldn't visit expecting it to cover everything. more chance of that in italy or japan, afaik.
Fly to the USA and buy a watch, cheaper
The pound is too strong. 😂
15 years ago we were getting 2$ to the £.
@@markrichards3720that's not true that ended in the UK in 2020 no more vat free shopping for tourists
That memory cabinet and the story behind it is awesome.
Hi Roman, it was nice to shake your hand at BQ. when in London or anywhere in Uk You can
realy on Paul to look after your safty
Used to enjoy Paul Thorpe's channel, now it's political jingoistic posts, nothing more than 'old man yells at cloud'
Someone should tell him that Britain doesn’t have a multicultural empire anymore, and that’s the reason for our multicultural society!
@@pandora8478 it’s nothing to do with this, as these problems exist only because Europe is rich. As most countries in Europe suffer from exactly the same problems regardless if they have any colonies or not.
With you on that.
@@dwillis1 So I guess you don’t care about saving the country from being ruined. Dig the head in the sand, “as long as I am ok” attitude.
@@truxton1000 you guess incorrectly. Not enjoying Paul’s videos or how he goes about spreading his message does not directly mean that I don’t want to “save” the country. I don’t feel you can save something by cutting it in half, quite the opposite.
Do I feel safe in London? No. Would I wear any of my higher end watches into certain areas of the UK? No. Do I feel that a traditional way of life is threatened in the UK? Yes. Do I think ranting on CZcams and deepening a culture of division and a confrontational rhetoric is going to solve any of the above? No.
Check out the clock exhibit at the British museum in London. It’s free and very cool
Spence the man!
Buying nice things with history from a verified dealer with knowledge, it's a pleasure!
I loved seeing that five minutes of microbrands at the beginning. Wish I would have been at that event! Certainly would have picked up a few affordable pieces.
The Chronometer you bought was fantastic....👍
That Marloe Watch Company watch (limited to 1,000 pieces) for only $430 usd…. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 for someone that can’t afford a Rolex just yet, that’s a GREAT BUY!! Thx Roman
Maybe they were just wondering who’s the guy walking around being filmed with a camera??😂
That's what we thought at first, but it was not the case.
Why blur out their face if you think they were up to no good? Could probably help someone in London to know what these potential thieves looked like.
Because it was click bait nonsense from Thorpe
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
Great prices at that Micro Brand Fair ..!
Do you know what the name of the fair in London was?
Stop hanging around with Spencer, you’ll be fine🤣🤣
Bro no offense your the ONLY person getting robbed every other video, or getting scammed, stop the CAP already
i like the suit jacket that roman was wearing
Love these videos where they travel around and I get to see some of the inside of the trade.
Welcome to London Roman you gotta be careful on these streets but i think you lot were acting a bit paranoid, can't be too careful tho
Loved the variety in this episode !
Good marketing knowing the reputation London has for watch robbery putting this in the title bound to bring more traffic not saying they wasn’t scheming but definitely not almost robbed 😂
Great video Roman.
Who's that cutie in gray's market 😍
His name is Johhny and he's awesome.. very knowledgeable man.
The videography is getting so good. Really nice intro of London to „a normal CZcams video“
Surprised old Forpee didn’t have a shooter or two on him the diamond gangster geezer he is.
Almost robbed ? Wtf 😂😂😂😂😂 yeah that’s going to happen whilst filming.
Click bait to promote Digital Watch Vault.
I swear I seen my apartment out the window at one point,gutted and didn’t know there was a watch event in Wembley?
When did the robbery almost happen? When Paul saw someone who didn’t recognise him?
Kinda disappointed there wasn’t more to the “Almost Robbed” story. Kinda left with the impression ‘maybe it happened, maybe it didn’t.’
How much you paid for Ulysse Nardin WII?
Casio guy lost his job I'm sure.. No product knowledge 😂😂😂😂
I think they found him selling the Big Issue at Kings Cross, tidied him up gave him some money, then dumped him back on the street again.
Yes I heard they dumped the loser and he has been banned from every watch event.
He's actually a mentally ill vet. Got the gig for a few quid and then fucked it up. Last I heard he was back on the street. LOSER.
Yeah, not a chance. If youre getting robbed in london, you aint being checked out first. They just take it and deal with it after.
Japanese yen USD rate is good at the moment for shopping
Ah yes, cultural seasonings abound
the second guys watches were great
120 pounds nooo 120k lol
Great video
Thank you for the video. I enjoyed it as always. Be Well Be You
competition is the key for growth
UK should allow the VAT refund for tourists. So sad sales are going to France and Belgium
Politicians have no idea what they create. And now with Labour it will be more of the same madness. God help us all, I say that being an extreme atheist!
Watches are so delicate and intricately designed, so I have intense respect and admiration for MaMaCoo watch makers
I’m amazed at this amazingly amazing superbly superb video.
❤LB in my City!
I honestly don't understand what the hell to that guy flashing a cheap 20bucks G-shock.trashing & calling other new watch brands like Atowak a cheap ripoff watch ? When Romam mentioned it a resemblance to Uwerk.That guy got completely lost & have no farling clue what brand was that !.He emd up looking like a fool " Lolz 🤣
I think you will find that is called sarcasm my friend 😂😂😂
🤦♂ he was jokin 😂
I know he's just a loser. I think they felt sorry for him, scraped him off the street, tidied him up a bit and gave him $50 for a day's work, but he fucked that up. So he's back on the street where he belongs. Loser.
Yes well said, he was a LOSER and had no right to be at that event.
Fascinating
Love it that you're supporting the small and sometimes unknown brands.
Good work.
Very interesting !
BIG W
Why censor their faces? If you think they’re criminals you shouldn’t hide their identity
Because they're not criminals, and insulating they are on CZcams could be slanderous and they could sue
Because they’re millionaires and have a lot to lose, the thieves can end up suing it’s 2024
As others have said they can be liable. Yes they acted suspicious, but looking suspicious isn't a crime. If a crime happened that's different
MrBalzeSniping - " Innocent until proven guilty".
That's because it's all staged.
He can claim the vat back as he's not a uk citizen
Watch and Smartphone theft in Central London is terrible.
yes its the usual suspects also........
Jeez so much negativity in the comments, everyone has an opinion or a keyboard to attack I guess. For myself I enjoyed that Roman as I quite like these ' walkabout ' type videos.
Yes , an opinion....just like yours
you look like you could handle yourself.
amzwatch You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much
As a new watch collector from scandinavia , i really luv your videos... (Oris,Panerai and C.W. have some of my favorite watches listed at a cheaper price in Norway!)
Funny because when it said robbery I imetatly thought of the pikey Irish watch guy
Guy with the Casio, my god he was awful.
Oh he was awful. One of life's losers, I mean what was he doing there with such a cheap watch?
He's actually a mentally ill vet. Got the gig for a few quid and then fucked it up. Last I heard he was back on the street. LOSER.
Roman you’re from Philly and you had back up. Should walked straight across the street and asked those chaps if they needed ‘help’ 😅
As a Londoner can confirm this is a click bait for views
Thanks for another great video! London is cool!😊
It would still be a Rolex. Just a Rolex that has been rolled over by a tank.
It would probably be worth more call it a 1 of 1
Love the knowledge transfer through your videos
Lets go
This clown with the Casio watch was very annoying.
Clown? I didn't see that he had a red nose or clown make up on. The only clowns are those wankers tossing themselves off over cheap tat.
He's a social case for sure.
He's actually a mentally ill vet. Got the gig for a few quid and then fucked it up. Last I heard he was back on the street. LOSER.
It'll have to be a very small driver to drive a cartier Tank over a Rolex.
1:36 i guess guys who blown nord stream pipeline were wearing it 18:58 any NBA player
Do watch thieves normally carry cameras? Is that part of their disguise? 😂
Hı, Time:1.05 Seamaster 300M 50.Years Sir please touch with me.Thank you.
I felt this wonderful feeling in my mind, body and soul when she said “I prefer kislux
How tall is Nina?
5’8” but usually in platforms which puts me up quite a few inches 😂
im surprised about the VAT issue, dont you guys have VAT free on purchases since you're american tourists.
He is lying to you about the VAT these are second hand pieces, so he is paying VAT under the margin scheme, so basically VAT only applies to their profit, not the whole price.
All you had to say calmly to the thief “Babayaga”.
Was a pleasure meeting you in London on both days of the show too Roman, always a great guy to talk to.
I lived in England for over ten years but I want to ask someone else, why is everything so expensive there.
Primark, Poundland etc offer insanely cheap food and clothing in the uk. I’d say food and clothes are way cheaper than in the US, as a comparison.
@@truevanpencil5403 I am not sure about that, U.S seems to be the land of plenty, I cannot comment on the quality of consumer goods there but I know scales of economy is their thing.
Sport coat hoodie....very unique!
Great video! I really enjoyed it.
Quality of these videos has improved massively! Loving the European tour Roman!
5:37 Mr bean
M Has-Been I heard they sacked him after that.
So dramatic 😂 it’s really not that dangerous
Scottish guy is trying too hard to be funny.
Clearly he has mental health issues, I heard they sacked him after that.
Why you blurting the face show the people so they are recognized… expose the people trying to STEAL the watch’s…. F their privacy at that point smh
What happened to this channel?!
Clickbait, fake comments, and a walking prune with tattoos?
Usual Paul BS .... lost all credibility
