Scottish Watches Podcast #253 : Paul Thorpe Answers Our Questions and Reveals All – The No Holds Barred Interview

Welcome to the Scottish Watches podcast episode 253. In this special edition of the show recorded Monday 26th of April 2021 we finally speak to Paul Thorpe and ask him questions directly covering all the things that we’ve mentioned on prior shows over the past 2 years.

We cover Paul’s entry into the watch industry, his past growing up and on to becoming a successful watch dealer and the problems that brought.

In this no holds barred interview Paul reveals all, from his video about the Krays to why he was arrested and charged while defending his shop from armed robbers through to the story about his son and why he’s been secretive on that front until now.

This episode has been 2 years in the making and we think you’ll find it informative. Paul doesn’t skirt or evade anything we ask which has to be commended and true to his word he came on and didn’t ask to have any editorial control over the show or afterwards request that anything be changed or removed.

Enjoy the show and let us know what you think.


In today’s show Paul is wearing his Rolex Sky-Dweller in gold with an oyster flex strap. https://www.rolex.com/watches/sky-dweller/m326238-0009.html
