I've only really lurked because I'm mostly just interested in watches but as I remember it, early on LAX was small time trying to make it reselling Rolexes for cheap and was or claimed to be extremely knowledgeable on them but not much else at the time. I think he tried to get in and Ben Baller would make jokes about him non-stop, didn't respect him (shocker). He started making ****** pieces, that Rocafella knockoff and little bears after he'd gotten certified or whatever in diamond setting/jewelry testing or making (like I said, I don't know all that much).
People would clown him all the time but it at least seemed like he was working really hard and trying to make it, I believe he gave a Breitling to a celebrity to help get his name out and get cred, would sell gold items for dirt cheap and did whatever he could to build a base. Once again, it seemed like he cut out a lot of the overhead and was selling stuff for cheap and actually started to do much better work and was getting co-signed. A lot of people were saying they had worked with him, he could be a pain in the *** and bad at responding, would take his time but most ultimately seemed happy with his work and prices. Now this happens.
Oddly enough, a friend was looking for a watch and I got Lax's info to him. I know he ended up getting something different locally (in NY) and I'm thankful he did because I would've felt guilty as hell if it turned out to be fake since I was like, I know of someone who sells a lot of watches for cheap and a lot of people use him. I texted him a little while ago to ask and he didn't remember much about it, said he thought his prices seemed good but he saw exactly what he wanted here and went that route.
