From his FB profile it seems he has a successful business, handles luxury cars of all brands and obviously not a Toyota driver (like me ). For a Patek Philippe the price is still far from the upper limit (judging from prices outside Thailand). No idea how much you have to add for a legally imported watch. What is worth a laughter is his lack of street wise behavior. Walking in public with precious stuff in one of the most crime ridden cities in Germany is quite careless. A Nautilus, about 200'000 Euro and for a factory new you have to apply to queue: a fool and his money comes to mind. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearing a 6M Baht watch in an inner city environment is not exactly what I would label caution. Something doesn't add up in this tale however. He is an influencer. Any way to get more publicity is what they want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Must have been a quiet day at the news desk - it seems. The kiddo has quite obviously too much loose change by the car and the time piece. In my next life I want to be an influencer too - although I have not the slightest clue, what an influencer does 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I am happy with the 15 quid watch I bought off Ebay UK , 5 + years ago still going strong ,nobody is going to be desperate enough to steal it , I was just reading in Newcastle Chronicle ,two muggers chased a guy through the streets of Newcastle to steal his Rolex , they caught him and took it , but it was a fake one ....... regards worgeordie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, clever thief, understand in a short glimpse; "hey this is valuable, must steal" 🙂 it's probably another Thai made up story as most are.

Sigmund Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 In today's world, definately not a good idea to sport around in a swanky car with a swanky wristwach costing the price of the car, and to display one's fortune on social media. Should it be in Thailand or abroad. Hope the victim gets back his property. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post khunjeff Posted June 7 Popular Post Share Posted June 7 I can't imagine taking a watch that costs as much as a house on a trip to a foreign country, but maybe that's just me. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattlesnake Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 9 hours ago, tomazbodner said: I don't know this guy but most of at least travel video makers travel in groups of 4 or more, where the videographer takes shots from distance, and "influencer" holds own blogging camera like GoPro or similar. Hence for one of his crew video recording the whole session isn't strange, and in this case, given that's German police getting involved, probably quite helpful in identifying the culprit. He's the owner of Addzest Carcolor, a garage in Bkk, I wouldn't call him an influencer or YouTuber, Chat GPT's presentation is misleading. He does have a large following on social media though.
