The stunt was effective at generating the interest. I suppose if I was enamored with them before the stunt or had a consignment watch in their hands.or was less jaded.I might have seen it differently, but none of those things are the case Id call it a PR stunt but that seems too professional. I am shocked so many here saw it from the beginning as anything other than an orchestrated stunt.

The intention, no matter how TPG "followers" spin it, was to manipulate the hearts and minds of the public purely to attract attention and stroke their egos. It’s really bizarre stuff….TPG doesn’t make watches….they need to buy, sell and trade amongst other dealers to get product to resell. What did the TPG think the people calling them and getting no response would do? Just go away? Of course it will spill over to their collaboration partners and they’d have to deal with it….all the while those guys were being judged for their loyalty and allegiance? Why was it necessary to test loyalty and allegiance of their content collaboration partners by putting them in a rotten position in the first place?ĭisrespectful to waste the other guys time by essentially forcing action on their part due to having to deal with all the panicking watch consumers who think that TPG has collapsed and the whole market is next.


That came out of left field (or the depths of narcissism). The video of TPG watching the Roman Scharf and friends broadcast, judging the groups reaction and individually affirming the loyalty of their collaboration partners, was an appalling optic. Their are lots of layers to this debacle.
