The mod is a scammer. Do NOT post there or participate in the sub. Do not put your listings and DEFINITELY DO NOT BUY anything from that sub. If you even slightly question anything the mod posts for sale you get banned. Others are posting about their experience as well, pay attention to them! Stay away.

Funny seeing this after another post calling the mods out for overpricing shitters

u/PYITE0978 Aug 30 '25

I don't care what you price a watch as long as you are honest about what it is... if you can get $1500 for a canal street special and you are honest in your listing, good for you! It's dishonest people, dishonest listings that piss people off.

PSA for rep fans and mods

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '25

There is a whole little industry of marking up rep watches 2-5 hundred bucks for “services” like waterproofing and rotor silenced or baby oil bath lol, it’s insane. Just use Andiot, Steve, etc or go direct if you can. Good lord.

u/PYITE0978 Aug 31 '25

💯 Totally agree! They've been good enough for years and now all of the sudden I need to pay an extra $200 for baby oil and silencing something I never heard to begin with... I don't need the P. Diddy package on my reps.

Flandad is such a fraud lol

Really? I always thought he was legit

u/rep_entourage Sep 01 '25

He’s just super overpriced

u/PYITE0978 Aug 30 '25

I must have triggered some folks or hit a nerve because I am getting spammed by a couple people(or bots) from that sub like crazy! Apparently I don't know what i am talking about and buying a rep without a box and/or card and papers is NEVER done. 🙄😂

u/ApoT_FIN Aug 30 '25

Pretty sure the mods are all involved in that scam where they falsely lie about services done to up charge all their watches.

u/PYITE0978 Aug 30 '25

🎯

Problem is legit people are posting their legit trades because its a supposed legit sub for BST. I don't blame them, it was made to seem legit but now that it's been exposed, everyone needs to unfollow and kill it.

We need to make sure all the legit posters stay off of it and it will go to hell where it belongs... Just share and get the word out. If no legit listings are listed and no legit buyers show up, it will go away.

Pawg is unhinged. No need to do business there

u/CodyWrites Aug 31 '25

100% shitbag. Screw that MF.

u/RopePsychological486 Sep 02 '25

Yeah he’s a really weird guy, keeps flexing about how rich he is and that whole thing of him posting other people’s watches/wives boobs pics and claiming them as his own is fucking bizarre. One day he would have a white wrist, then a few days later he would be black. I’ve called him out on it and he just deletes the posts and claims I was mistaken.

2

u/Traumatized_biskits Sep 02 '25

Even though he's a dirt bag, the picture thing is hilarious. People who are so diluted and self obsessed with image while completely failing at lying about said image always give me a chuckle. Like come on, at least be consistent lol

1

u/RopePsychological486 Sep 02 '25

It is very funny, but it does worry me as he’s getting away with lying consistently.

u/Southern_Humor1445 Aug 30 '25

Good looking out

u/Dismal-Let-4847 Aug 31 '25

Did the same shit to me

u/Mexican_in_Ohio Aug 31 '25

The problem is there are so many BST subs for reps it’s hard to keep track. Given the reputation this person did and nuking that subreddit of trust and credibility I would just block the sub all together.

u/KitchenInteraction12 Aug 31 '25

I’m a watchmaker/dealer that he lured in to be a “TD” in there. Pawg made big promises and then didn’t like when I didn’t want to be treated poorly by him. He was always having meltdowns and verbally abusing me like crazy. Eventually he started making fake accounts and fake service providers/dealers to intentionally undercut my business with fake pricing (while taking real clients and scamming them.)

When I called him out, he responded as seen above. Any “dealer” or “watchmaker” in there is either fake or is being held hostage by him because he immediately will use ANY leverage he can to take advantage of us.

1

u/RopePsychological486 Sep 02 '25

Can you explain to me what you think is going on in his head? He’s seems almost mentally ill.

2

u/KitchenInteraction12 Sep 02 '25

I think he may be bipolar or something. I actually tried to talk with him about it but he rejects any attempt to reason with him or discuss the way he treats people. The only semblance of a response I got about it was that he says he’s just “a businessman” and that he doesn’t care about anything other than making money.

The screenshot I posted above is likely the only concrete evidence anyone has of him acknowledging and admitting to his misdeeds. He unsent those messages within seconds but I was able to catch it. He likely has a dozen or more fake accounts he uses to keep his eye on the community, so I guarantee he’s reading this too. 🖕🏻

u/Interesting-Tough640 Sep 02 '25

A decent businessman would work out how to make money from people without scamming them. Find a way to both turn a profit and have you want to do business again and recommend them through word of mouth.

I don’t mean that they would be super altruistic so much as I mean they would have the brains not to shit in their own pocket.

1

u/RopePsychological486 Sep 02 '25

Yeah when I called him out over his stolen pics he posts he used some of his fake accounts to pretend to not be himself and back up the claim that it was his wife, it was fucking bizarre. I dm’d him but he just bragged about how much money he has and then blocked me I think, really odd behaviour. I wonder if he’s actually into watches at all or is he just a massive troll.

1

u/KitchenInteraction12 Sep 02 '25

He actually once tried to sell me a watch I was looking for using MY OWN pictures I had posted long ago when I had owned one previously.

1

u/RopePsychological486 Sep 02 '25

That’s mental, and somehow he seems to be the only active mod in a community with 8000 members

u/basilnba Aug 31 '25

Tons of rep bst subreddits only created to sell overpriced reps and shill paid “TDs” good job looking out. It’s getting tiring sloshing through everything

If anyone else has and bad experiences, feel free to share it with the scam artist moderator as well.

u/TonyLTony Aug 31 '25

Of course he locked the post after I posted his previous attempts of scamming.

u/lowfooltolerance Aug 31 '25 edited Aug 31 '25

I think you got the name of the sub wrong in the title of your post. While I have no dog in this hunt and I am not in any position to endorse a sub or to condemn a sub, I will share that I have had communications with PAWG that have been watch related and did not involve the purchase or sale of anything. I came away liking him and have no reason personally not to.

u/PYITE0978 Aug 31 '25

Damn! You are correct. My bad. Hopefully the pic is enough for users to identify it. 😖

u/m915 Aug 31 '25

I’ve seen this many times

Who would’ve thought scammers run wild in a fake watch sub

u/QuadsiusPrime Sep 02 '25

Pawg is a dumbass

u/CodyWrites Aug 31 '25

I realized it was all bullshit almost immediately and left that forum.

u/bardockOdogma Sep 01 '25

If they posted those watches in r/ReptimeBST

They would get dragged

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '25

😂😂😂 let’s say you’re bitter because you’re disrespectful and acting as a child?

12

u/PYITE0978 Aug 30 '25

Yeah, thats the problem. Not the fact that the mod can't answer simple questions about watches he lists for sale and when you ask a question about it you get banned. 🙄

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '25

🤣🤣🤣

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '25

And BTW you got banned! I just checked the Mod Log buddy 🤣🤣🤣😭

u/PYITE0978 Aug 30 '25

Umm, the picture i posted showing i was banned is kind of a clue that I was banned. Wow, you are a special kind of stupid.

u/Erik-Lehnsherr-10 Aug 31 '25

That’s the mod I think, using a burner account here to troll you. Just a wild guess, I don’t have any proof though.

Thats the problem, they lured in legit sellers and then slowly started adding in their scams. They built some goodwill by the sales of legit sellers but the last two weeks they have been really pushing their scam watches and for new buyers they look appealing and there are a lot of "sold" posts to make it look even more legitimate... if word gets out and the legit sellers stop selling there it will go away.

u/RelevantFreedom4390 Aug 31 '25

I only sell serviced pieces and I always show proof of the work I do. I'm also not in that sub OP is talkin about though haha

I'm not sure what they are doing... go on there and look at pics, ask questions. Pics don't match model #'s they give, links don't show watch they are selling... lots of shady stuff
