    Google search his name then scroll to the bottom. He has had listings removed.

    He was done for having a shotgun at his shop without a licence.
    He got pretty paranoid post a robbery where he lost his front teeth, hence his denture. This was in the era when he specialised in buying worn out old perspex Rolex models, putting sapphire glasses on them, then as many diamonds as possible with fake dials and bezels.

    You just have to look up the convictions against his family members who are in and out of the trade.

    I bought a 31mm YG Datejust off him about six months before he packed it in.

    I found him very up front and easy to deal with and he operated from a rented office near Gatwick.

    I took the watch into Rolex the very next day for a service, which is my usual practice, and they pronounced the watch 100% legit and original.

    He has remade himself a few times after issues. He genuinely seems to be trying to push the legitimate side these days. As far as I know he moved out of the fake dials etc on his last re launch 6-7 years ago.

    Still based on his past I wouldn't touch anything he has.

    It would appear he's retracted his comments :-

    As a newbie, I’ve only recently found Paul on YouTube and to be fair have watched a couple of his videos and have learnt a few things too.

    Everyone loves a self promoter don’t they ? And then they properly join the clan by paying a monthly fee 🤣
