Identifies the first watch he pulls out as a nautilus instead of a Aquanaut, but I’m guessing it’s not easy knowing the names of that many watches.

the guy is an idiot and has been busted for wearing fake watches and a fake hermès belt, as well as for making claims that are untrue.

Dang a fake belt as well as a fake watch? It’s honestly incredible the mind games people play in order to lie to themselves that this is ok. I personally couldn’t live with myself knowing anything I had was counterfeit.

After seeing a few of his videos and some places he shops. I would not be surprised if he, or the shop owners had no clue the items he purchased where fake. His net worth clearly supports buying the real thing.

Michael Blakey is loaded and I can't believe he is wearing fake stuff.
Do you have any proof for your statement?

I like Producer Michael, self-deprecating, good sense of humour and absolutely minted unlike the majority of You Tube 50p millionaires.

Agreed.
I recall a video where he took his cameraman to a gray dealer to shop for any watch he desired. The guy is definitely eccentric, but I doubt he is intentionally buying anything fake.

He seems to buy more watches as gifts than he buys for himself. Not many of us do that.

Never heard that Blakey was anything but legit. Always someone with negativity...

He has over 100 pieces of high end watches including at least 2 different Jacob & Co Astronomia watches with a retail value of over 1 million a piece.

He also loves his diamonds but that is another story.

he’s been called out for wearing fake stuff on other channels.

clearly the guy has money; i’m not disputing that. but certainly i have seen evidence (that i’m not going to spend time cross-posting) on at least two very well-known accounts that call people out for fake flexes.

don’t shoot the messenger. just passing along information that seems to be fairly well documented and proven.

have a look at instagram’s finest, the folks that call out fakes.

fake hermès belts; fake RMs, fake assertions that he’s buying aircraft.

yes he owns jacob and co watches. but apparently he’s been loaned the astronomical by jacob arabo.

insta @ballerbusters will show you what i’m on about.

Okay, I finally found it. I have to say, the baller busters looks like someone's opinions to me sorry. I just ran a background check on him, and he is a multi millionaire with legit businesses, real estate and so forth. Based on the real date I found, I think this baller busters is just as fake as some of the people they are talking about. Don't get me wrong, I am sure there are a ton of scam artists on youtube, but not this guy as far as I can tell.

Here's what he's referring to. I've also seen other people come forward with proof that he's asked to borrow exotic cars for his content. Be your own judge, but personally I've never felt right about him. He may have money but I don't believe him to be as hyper wealthy as he portrays.

FYI, Ballerbusters recently had many news outlets report on him. Again, be your own judge but they usually don't report on people without the proper information. For example, the jet being owned by a different company (public information). They aren't saying he's broke or unsuccessful, rather that he flaunts/fakes having more wealth.

Here's a NY Times article for reference. Again, be your own judge.
