All those used rolex shops peddling watches with no box or papers provided by those same robbers. London circle of life

[@GShockWatchFan.]

Papers can be fake now, very hard to see difference

[@FunDiplomat]

The shops are colluding with the robbers. They inform the robbers in the area, rob it, bring it back to the shop, shops pays 50% under the reselling price, rinse and repeat. Bob's your uncle! The correct way to conduct businesses with them is to make appointment for them to come either to your office or to your home.

[@jayv9619]

If there’s a robbery you can def expect Paul Thorpe to be around lol

[@robertdoyle4098]

That’s because he’s a criminal and so is his son they sold millions in fake watches they know criminals

[@simonbutler377]

that racist bastard. Im glad I never bought watches from him.

[@ah97165]

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)

[@ah97165]

But I guess clickbait is the game of KZbin.

@kcw3733 yeah that's the only way someone can get robbed 100% there is no other possibilities I can think of

[@truevanpencil5403]

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 😂

Why what’s wrong with him ?

[@arronhughes6393]

When did the robbery almost happen? When Paul saw someone who didn’t recognise him?

[@Graham-rc1cp]

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.

[@Juniar101]

[@dirtysouth1294]

Bro no offense your the ONLY person getting robbed every other video, or getting scammed, stop the CAP already

[@user-kh3nz9lb2k]

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.

[@pepevonkek7803]

Those are called spotters. Obviously this location is way above their paygrade. You have to be streetwise.

[@truxton1000]

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.

@@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 KZbin and deepening a culture of division and a confrontational rhetoric is going to solve any of the above? No.
