You guys should really address the elephant in the room. Allegations of non disclosure agreements being forced on those that were fired/quit. Half the sales force gone as soon as Anthony is in jail. Faking being an AD on video. People spend real money with you. In your words “this business is built on trust” and people are losing trust in you.
Agree that was strange but who knows the real reason. He was supposed to be a salesman but was not unless I am incorrect. Dunno. They also let go of Nick who I dealt with and liked who has since hung his own shingle.
I like LB unlike many of the people with negative attitudes in the comments. But you are correct, I always find it odd when grown men dress like wanna be teenage rappers. At a certain point, you look silly.
I kid you guys not. I tried consigning my watch Rolex 114300 White Dial 39mm (extremely rare) These guys offered me 3600 for back at 2021 when it was going for upwards of 9.8k, or to first send the watches for them to inspect. Also mentioning about how watches are down in market bs. I'm tellin you don't trust or deal with these phonies.
Dave had life threatening health issues and the stresses of live at LB would have done him no favours in the long run. As I understand it, Peter left of his own accord because he wanted a larger salary to reflect the fact he was an authenticator/watch maker as well as a salesman. Sabina, Chris and Nick came from different backgrounds and never came across as killer salespeople. None of these departure means there is no room for additions in sales. All business can only grow through the efforts of their sales staff. The difficult part is getting the right people for the unique LB culture.
@@auxmike718 I agree it was rough on Dave. He was working on deals whilst on holiday and when he was recovering from his stroke which speaks volumes about his commitment and desire to succeed. Chris was given the Tudor in recognition of his "machine gun" work ethic, moving across the country to join the team, helping Adrian with buying before Marco joined etc. Its a ruthless environment and none of those attributes means he was an outstanding sales person. Both him and Nick seemed to focus on the lower end brands like Tudor and Omega, whereas Kevin for example, is happy to try and sell high end Rolexes, APs and RMs despite his relative inexperience. Much higher margin on the higher end pieces. It seems harsh but its a numbers game at the end of the day, especially in a depressed market.
I understand times are tough and people will be fired. My thing is the channel is transparent on almost everything else but not even a thank you for you service to LB , we can still work together, you can always use our inventory to buy wholesale etc.
Damn, Anthony spilling all the tea, throwing people under the bus. Cant wait to watch this play out. Those recordings are damaging. You gonna have to make a video about your side of this.
Marco is slightly obnoxious dropping knowledge. Coworkers don’t like that. These guys have a high turnover on sales people but hey go for it! Query why they haven’t invested more in the people they employed. Sales courses etc
A 23 year old with Marco's freakish watch knowledge is very rare, if not unique. It has proven to be a huge asset to LB as his sales numbers testify. Knowledge is essentially free and his co workers can also educate themselves if they so wish. Not sure formal sales training would be beneficial to the team at this point, but if they did decide to go down that route the first thing they would be taught is to know everything about the product you are selling. That's exactly what Marco has done and why he will continue to be successful in this industry.
He might not have wanted to. You guys act like Peter had no say. Also, they aren’t a repair shop so they don’t make money in that. What else would he do? They hired him for a specific reason, that didn’t work out. That’s business.
When watches aren't selling, you make jewelry content lol. This is why as a jeweler, i can always make a living. People always want jewelry and theres always broken jewelry to fix.
@@BillyJeans1993 yup ive seen their entire ebay process. Its pretty cool and for years made more money. Ive actually been saying for years they need to show more jewelry so its that not obvious to them. Plus i think they are more worried about their fake Rolex AD video getting caught and employee turnover. Grey market is dead so jewelry will probably be a bigger focus for them
@@BillyJeans1993 the funny thing is Alex called us jewelers crooks in that miami video but lots of jewelers actually work very hard and long hours.. I hand carve waxes like the old school way. We cast the gold or silver.. We repair jewelry. We polish it. Were hands on and sometimes work crazy crazy hours. What does Alex do other than answer messages and the phone? Hes not a watchmaker. He doesn't do jewelry or anything custom. Just a glorified salesperson. Time to pivot for them
People also always want watches and watches always need repair lol. There was an insane couple of years and now it’s back to normal. That happens like every 15-20 years.
Idk why Peter has to be a salesman, like if he comes in there and he’s better at other things that no one else can do, why would you get rid of him. Oh that’s right $$$$$$$$$$$
LB used external watchmakers before Peter arrived and there is nothing to stop them doing so again. In an ideal world they most likely would have kept him, but it did seem a bit of a luxury to retain his specialist skillset in a depressed market given the overall size of the organisation tbh. Their need for out and out killer salespeople is simply greater at this point in time.
@@MrTrickyfull Not sure what Roman's dress sense has anything to do with it, but it's true outsourcing Peter's skills would inevitably cost LB more money. His departure is due to market conditions not his competency. They simply need salespeople to generate revenue more than they need watchmakers
It’s not falling off, why did you click this channel in the first place? It’s about watches and the passion for sales and the industry If you find that boring don’t watch( no pun intended). I love this show and I don’t just jump ship because the industry is slow.
That kid would do anything to be one of the guys. He's a clown and a horrible salesman. He should be on a used car lot somewhere selling 10 year old Hondas!
Lol they have been around for decades. They don’t need your crappy advice. And Peter is doing his own thing now. They hired him for a specific reason. It didn’t make money like they thought. And that’s it. It’s business.
Guy puts a loose fitting bracelet on your wrist then tries palming it off that you're guys now need to fix it because of trying to take it off. He's only mastered the art of lining his pockets with fools...well lack of a better term gold. I don't care how well he's known. Trax has always, like most jewellers, come across as a guy that will say everything you need to hear to shift his 1k chain for 10
The most effective way to grow your organization is to have new sales people shadow your best sales people. You build up a sales force for one year and then part ways with half of them based on market cycles? How do you plan to sustain a competitive edge if you don’t have the potential within the organization? You should reflect and adjust your capital structure and capex before cutting payroll and other low hanging fruit - maybe not repaint the inside of your lobby every 6 months or buy expensive art. With time, you could have a solid sales team that could expand nation wide and capture market share, but that’s ultimately the strategic leader’s call, who may be more concerned with buying designer sweaters and F1 replica cars - no more white tee’s. Human capital > designer sweaters, infrastructure > quarterly sales.
Welcome to sales in literally every company. When I did sales years ago, I won awards (literally) and was regularly a top producer. Two bad months and I would be pulled into management and essentially threatened with losing my job. It’s a terrible industry in general but it is what it is. Produce or get out.
Had to forward through Trax NYC, after that, enjoyed the LB crew. Consider bringing “what’s on my desk” back. WOMD never gets old for watch enthusiast.
I love your channel, ever since I discovered it for the past few days all day and night I've been watching your videos. I love the content & have learned alot. I can't wait til I can purchase my first Rolex Day Date from yall!
I like how they showed the Bracelet right away instead of stringing me along. I then chose to watch the rest because it was interesting content, bravo that was refeshing! :)
I guarantee there was no $9800 worth of gold in there because there ain’t no $9800 worth of gold in a damn Rolex because it’s only 18 carats at the most
Neo (new) vintage watches are around .20 years old. Traditional vintage watches are typically much older. Anything less than 20 years old is not considered to be vintage
Can't believe you got rid of Peter.
lol Trax explaining how he stole an ounce of gold
I was doing the math in my head like damn dude stole over 2K haha maybe that’s the price for the commissioning
😂😂😂
Bro bro bro dust, and the polish, and just so much dust bro 😂😅😅
Prime NYC jeweler ... that live rant was so embarrassing
Wait til Nico comments on this…video incoming 😂
You guys should really address the elephant in the room.
Allegations of non disclosure agreements being forced on those that were fired/quit.
Half the sales force gone as soon as Anthony is in jail.
Faking being an AD on video.
People spend real money with you. In your words “this business is built on trust” and people are losing trust in you.
I wanna discuss with you got something special for you
The FBI has Anthony Farrer's spreadsheets. Do the spreadsheets have Ray-Ban Sharf / LB listed as the buyer of any of Anthony's watches?
Can someone give a quick summary on what happened or a link to a video explaining what happened?
Any new Rolex AD interview coming up..?
Peter was a bad move to let go one of the best for content
Agree that was strange but who knows the real reason. He was supposed to be a salesman but was not unless I am incorrect. Dunno.
They also let go of Nick who I dealt with and liked who has since hung his own shingle.
We don’t know the reason obviously numbers don’t add up
Agreed Peter was great. Huge loss
Well, he has his own channel now.

Big mistake getting rid of Peter

So... avi was the BLUR AD from rolex??? And what about that thing whit raiban?
Bring back Peter.
David was probably the weakest link of the new hire group but no way this new kid is an upgrade.

Ancient background music whenever trax explaining Africa trip was hilarious😂
I miss all the videos with Anthony Farrer. Why did you take them down?
You gotta fire sales staff. Now giving a chance to have someone become a salesman.
Confusion in process

bad design, that mechanism on the bracelet will not last.
If it can be damaged so easily , you are most likely right
Polished Patek, then not Polished, do not polish it, then you might tell your customers it's not polished. Really?!
I wanna discuss with you
I thought the same lol "you should polish the watch 'cause it's already been polished" then "I wouldn't polish it now"

LlB selling stolen watches that Anthony sold to LB
Why dude, why???? That tag heuer was beautiful. Was it a stolen watch, turned clean?
Maybe a watch from Anthony 😂
That tag deserves to be tossed in the bin, better he used the gold.
he doesn't charge me ... except taking 80g of your gold...

So they have so much to sale that the sales people can't make it. That's why they fired 2 because they had so much to sale?! 😂😂😂😂😂

The TAG was circa 2000. But you're the man who loves watches... while melting one down to make a terrible looking bracelet.

Designed by AI because there’s no imagination anymore.

What is the difference between vintage and neo vintage?
Neo is like 90/2000
Neo (new) vintage watches are around .20 years old. Traditional vintage watches are typically much older. Anything less than 20 years old is not considered to be vintage
