How about dinner with my third cousin? Skip it. Prince Fluffy's favorite treats? Skippable. Midnight snacks?

Skip. My neighbor's nightly saxophone practices. Uh, nope, you're on your own there. Coulda skipped it. Shoulda skipped it. Skip to the good part and get groceries, meals, and more delivered right to your door on Skip. And if I'm nice to you from day one,

like, I don't know, customers can always, no matter if they're buying, not buying rich, not rich. I love that, dude, because certain Rolex stores you walk in, it's almost disrespectful. Yeah, they're very disrespectful. Like I've walked in without a watch before and they won't even talk to me. They're assholes. And then I'll pull up with a watch and they'll flock to me. I'm like, damn, that's how you really value your customers.

No, it's wrong. Like what if someone walks in there with sweatpants and they're a billionaire? All right, guys, we got Neil from timepiece trading here today the number one watch plug in the country right now I'd say I'm getting there in terms of viewership you walk you're already there. It's a thank you, bro I appreciate that. Yeah what you're doing on YouTube is kind of revolutionary in the space. I feel thank you You you have a crazy community too. Yeah, that's that's what it's about though, right? Yeah, how you built your business? 100%. For me, social media built everything from the ground up.

Was that planned or did it kind of just happen? No, bro, it just happened. I started social media because I actually did it for my dad because he never did any social media. He didn't have Facebook, Instagram, nothing. When I told him the word Instagram, he didn't know what it was. Like, his employees were laughing at me

because I worked for him a little short period after college, unexpectedly also, because Hurricane Irma happened in St. Martin where I'm from so I growing up there I thought I was very connected and I was like I can protect my family because there was looting there was a lot of crime going on after the hurricane so I went back and there was no crime I didn't really have to protect them but I started going to work with my dad instead of just chilling at home and There was no clients broke because the hurricane destroyed the cruise ship terminal St. Martin's an island that relies on tourism. So there was none of it, you know, that's where your dad was

That's where my dad he owns boutiques there like watch boutiques on it and a like a big jewelry store You know and st. Martin and Aruba so we used to own the Richard Mille store. Wow still on the AP store Holy crap. Yeah, And we lost those brands right before Irma, bro. So firstly, no one's really calling in because those are the brands people would call in about. He still has 30 other brands such as Hublot, IWC, Panerai, good brands, you know. And I started going online and wholesaling to other countries

in big quantities his product. And then I got to a point that like I grew a following that people were trying to sell me stuff too. And people were asking me about stuff that my dad didn't carry that I was being offered on Instagram. And I just put two and two together. I did a trade. I was making my dad tons of money and he was paying me 3000 a month.

So I was like, dad, I'm gonna open my own company, start trading. I kept the Instagram account, changed the handle to Timepiece Trading. And it's been Timepiece Trading since. Yeah. And then when did you move to Miami? I moved to Miami. When I first moved here, bro, it was 2018 and I was actually, so in St. Martin while I was there working with my dad, my grandpa was very into real estate and he kept pushing me. He's like, Neil, you got to go into real estate. You got to go into real estate. So one of his partners who they owned a property with was working the import export business. He had an office here in Miami and also had

businesses all over the Caribbean. Like he would sell, he had retail stores where he would export from Miami to the Caribbean and sell what he was exporting in the stores all over the Caribbean, making good margins. You know, he was worth like 20 million. And at the time when I'm making 3000 a month, 20 million sounded like fucking unachievable.

Right. And I was like, dude, I got to get into this. Like, fuck it. Whatever it is, I'm going to love it. I'm going to do it. So my grandpa convinces me to work for this guy, but in his Miami office so that I'm away from my family, you know, like independent. And I was working again on a salary of like $3,000 a month. And it was labor intensive, brah. I was working in a warehouse. I thought I'm going to be on the computer buying and selling import,

export for this guy puts me in the warehouse. I have a 22 year old boss, a Spanish manager from a door. Oh, and he's having me pick up boxes like he's at the top of the shelf, throwing me boxes at the bottom, bro. Super labor intensive. I actually actually got a condition, lumbar spondylosis from this job. Like I hurt my back. It's permanent. And yeah, discs, your discs like go out of place. Oh my gosh. I still lift every day. I can't, can't get over it. Like I have to.

Geez. For me, the gym makes me like ready to go. You know, I do the first thing in the morning. And uh, anyways, so I'm doing this job, but while I'm doing this job, every night I'll go home and trade two or three watches. So I'd add to my income and I was bringing in like five, six K a month. Total. I do like two trades of watches throughout the month working at the warehouse got to the point where I was closing Like four deals a week when I'm now making eight thousand so I'm like dude I'm not doing this warehouse anymore, right? They keep promising me that I'll reach where he is 20 million, but I'm making three thousand a month

I'm working like a slave like legit like hard labor, you know, and Yeah, when I started making eight thousand month, I was like I'm done the whole six months. I'm working like a slave like legit like hard labor you know and yeah when I started making eight thousand a month I was like I'm done the whole six months I was working I was living in my aunt's house and in her daughter's bedroom her daughter had to go sleep with her son like and I didn't have money for my own place and wow I eventually ran it up I proved my dad my results and I think I saved up maybe a hundred thousand and that's when he lent me half a million dollars and From there on it's what it is today. I just traded traded traded traded notes lots of millions of dollars stock So you spent the half million on watches? Yeah every dollar bro, even today like I mean, I'll buy a car here and there

Everyone's trying their best around you so take time to appreciate someone close to you. I've tried therapy in the past and it helped me go through some tough times when I was in college dealing with mental health. I was on prescription medication. I actually had agoraphobia when I was in college and therapy helped me figure out some answers about how to fix that problem. For two months I couldn't even leave my house or I would have a full on panic attack. So I love companies like BetterHelp

Everything in the world I want, but every dollar, I'm pretty responsible because if you come see our inventory from 500 K to what it is now, it's phenomenal. What is it now? We're blessed.

I won't say a number, but it's lots of millions of dollars and it's definitely the best watch inventory in Miami. Really? Yeah. No one has better watch inventory in Miami than I do. Because a lot of people just middleman deals like you started, right? So they don't actually have inventory. I think that's why I'm a destination because you go to the Rolex store, you can't try on

what you try on a TPT. You go to Richard Mille, they laugh at you. They kick you out. Like I will bring you in with open arms. Even if you have no money, like I, I see the value in people and I see that one day you may reach somewhere. And if I'm nice to you from day one, like, I don't know, customers can always, yeah, no matter if they're buying, not buying rich, not rich. I love that dude. Cause certain Rolex stores you walk in,'s almost disrespectful yeah they're very disrespectful like I've walked in without a watch before and they won't even talk to me they're assholes and

then I'll pull up with a watch and they'll flock to me I'm like damn that's how you really value your customers no it's wrong like what if someone walks in there with sweatpants and they're a billionaire yeah like I'm not a billionaire but I only wear sweatpants and I feel judged sometimes in these stores but um that's why we exist that's why we do good yeah no for real you I'm not a billionaire, but I only wear sweatpants, bro. And I feel judged sometimes in these stores, but that's why we exist. That's why we do good. Yeah, no, for real, you really solved the problem

because a lot of people can't even get these watches retail too, that's the other problem. I know, definitely bro, going back to earlier point, like being able to try it all on under one roof, it doesn't exist really, you know? I have 40 Richard Mills, I have 100 APs, I have 30 Paddocks, I have 50 Rolex, you know, always. Are those the big four brands right there?

That's all I stock. I mean, I got a couple of Jacob and Cole, I got a couple of MB&F, like nice independent brands, but mostly just those four because I like to sell, I don't want to sell you anything that you will lose your ass on, right? Like when you come to sell it back to me, I want you to be, like it's gotta be reasonable, you know, you enjoyed it, you lose a little, or you make a little. I mean, in the last four years, bro, people were making 100% on their watches.

Now they're pissed, they're like, yo, why do I gotta lose 10%? And I'm like, bro, imagine you bought a car. You'd lose 40, 30, you know? And like, I think watches is a great place to put your money, bro. When you have a lot of money and like, you're not using it, it's very nice.

You can, there's a lot of utility that a watch, you yeah. You know. Yeah. It's steady. It opens a lot of doors. You wear a watch to a conference or some event or nice restaurant. It opens up conversations. Yeah. It's the same like people say it with the car, like that they'll get a supercar for their image and their branding, but you can't bring the supercar into the room. Yeah. Right? The watch, it's everywhere with you. Facts, you need both. You need a nice car and a nice watch, especially in Miami. That's why I sell both. Dude, it's hard to stand out here because everyone's got both.

I like that though, because it keeps us motivated, bro. Otherwise we're like, oh, we're the best already. Over here, I never feel that way. And in Dubai, I'm the same. And there's a few cities that I feel like I have to stick in, bro, to keep this mindset When I go to certain cities like when I go back home st. Martin Like I drive a Audi has five there and like over there. That's a Ferrari like people don't got cars like that

Wow, I don't feel as motivated bro. Like I wake up and I'm like, I I'm at the top. No, that's true though That's that screams out to me coming from a small town, you know, where you from Bridgewater Jersey Like it's easy to get to the top there though. I. Where are you from? Bridgewater Jersey. Bridgewater. It's easy to get to the top there though. I don't even know where that is. But Jersey, I know there's a lot of small towns. I went to school in Philly. Oh nice.

How was that? Very nice, bro. I like Drexel a lot. I mean the area, University City is beautiful. I know when you go further down, either way gets a little ghetto. I loved Philly, bro. I went out a lot.

I never was flashy in college. I Had a good life. My dad would give me three thousand a month allowance the same He paid me when I was working when I wasn't working but uh, yeah I never really had money growing up So like when I when I finally came here started making money like all this shit was like mind-blowing crazy Did it change you up first it? Definitely bro. There was a period where I was just it got to my head. This is an ad by Better Help. What comes to mind when you hear the word gratitude? Maybe it's a daily

Like recently, like it goes and comes sometimes, bro. Sometimes it comes and goes. And like right now, I feel super grounded. I feel great. Yeah, I feel that though.

There's definitely periods where you feel like you're the man. You may close a big deal or some shit, make a million in a month, and then you're like. Yeah, no, I went to Dubai and I hung around crazy people. You got humbled. Yeah, I was like, I am poor. I need to work my ass off.

Dubai will do that to you. Yeah, it's good to travel,. I need to work my ass off. Yeah, I will do that to you. Yeah It's good to travel. It's good to get out there But like I said like depends where you go, you know, cuz sometimes I'll travel come back all fucked up So no, I feel that though. I need to get out there. I haven't been there yet. Dubai is insane, bro Yeah, yeah insane to me. It's Miami of that side of the world. Damn. Yeah, what's what's the money out there? Is it old money is a new money boat? Both. There's a lot of kids like us. I call us kids because we're under 30. But there's a lot of people like us, bro,

that they're in the social media game, the young entrepreneurs, young hustlers. I mean, we got Iman Ghazi, got Mike Thurston, Mo Vlog. There's a lot of people there. And, bro, they're all super friendly. It's the same vibe as Miami. Yeah. Same. Iman's impressive.

His watch collection is really impressive. Insane, bro. Have you sold to him yet? I have sold him one watch. I don't even remember what it was, but only one, he has like 50. Damn. Yeah.

Yeah, that was a good investment on his end. Yeah, I don't know where he bought all his watches, bro. Honestly, but we're tight. He's got some retail plugs. I've seen a couple of his videos. Yeah, he'll get some APs and Rolexes, but it's hard to get retail these days, especially AP and Richard.

Yeah, it's very hard. And even Rolex. If you do get through though, I'll tell you happily, I'll be like, bro, I can't compete with that. Please go buy it there, you know? Like if anything, I'll say sell it to me if you don't want to go buy it though. Then they'll ban you if they find out you sell it. If you get caught, yeah. So what we do a lot of the time is for an Audemars Piguet, for example, the warranty card, you can scan it, there's a barcode and you can re-register the warranty. So for people who buy from the boutique and have a relationship with the boutique, what we do is we buy the watch at a little bit lower than I would normally pay. In order for me to do this, I'll keep the warranty card in my safe.

I'll show it to the client when they come buy the watch from me, but I'll be like, bro, my client who sold me the watch, it's very sensitive. The card is here with me. You'll get it in one year and it stays in my safe. You as the person selling it to me can FaceTime me whenever and I'll show it to you. And the client can FaceTime me whenever and I'll show it to them. Like they know the card is there, but it's being held so no one can take their phone to the code. Because the only time the boutique gets flagged is when the barcode is scanned. Interesting. Immediately they'll get flagged.

Wow. Yeah. Or with the Rolex, holding a card doesn't really make a difference because there's no barcode. But I just tell the client who's buying it, I say, bro, please, as a brother and friend, don't go to the boutique with this watch. Don't go ask if it's authentic. You have an invoice from me. You can sue me if it's not but please don't do that It'll fuck up my fuck up Sean's relationship Yeah, how good are the fakes getting have you been sold a fake watch? I impossible to sell me a fake really people have tried many times because I heard they're getting good through Yeah, they can get good. I have a good team

Now it's so good. I heard you have to like physically hold it to see if it's fake like yeah We can't tell from anyways. I have a way around this so I don't pay for any watch till it's in my facility so yeah maybe I get just get tricked by a picture which has happened and it gets shipped shipped to me and I have 12 hours to pay for it that's my process and within those 12 hours I catch it mm-hmm I have three people who it goes through yeah before it goes to my accounting to get paid oh that's smart yeah stock excess announced they stopped doing the verifications because the fakes are so good for like sneakers and I bought fake off stock ex one exactly

because they're so good it's fucked up crazy I only use goat goat to me is way better damn yeah that's scary though imagine buying a fake wash that's that's a lot of money well with me I tell the client look if ever it's fake you have an invoice from me okay like if it does happen by mistake, it's never happened, but you have an invoice from me I will refund you or if I don't you fucking sue me like I mean, I'm a business bro. Like I'm public Yeah, you ever have any weird customer stories or anyone pissed or anything like that? There's a weird clue story about fakes, right? So I was in Marion this club downtown, you knowrickell. Marion. It's like a restaurant club. It's kind of like a Bagatelle vibe. Okay. And I went there and I see this dude wearing an RM 11 chandelier, the baguette. And I go up

to him and I'm like, yo, that's a crazy watch. Then I look closer and no, his wife's wearing the baguette and he's wearing on the doll. And I, I'm wearing an adult and I go up to him and I'm like, damn, that's crazy. that's crazy watch blah blah blah and look closer and it's fake right? And the guy's wearing all Philip Lion all white, his wife is wearing a crazy dress, crazy diamond necklace and I'm like bro, y'all look like really well off, why are you wearing a fake watch? Like I call him out. And he's like what do you mean fucking fake bro?

I just bought this watch like three days ago, whatever like he he's telling me a story and I was like, bro, how much you pay? And he's like, I paid 25K for each of them. And I'm like, well, how do you think you're getting an adult for the 20? And the guy was like, he had heard the name Richard Mille from his friends and he knows Rolexes are 10K, 15K. He wasn't into watches,

so he thought it's a real Richard Mille. He thought he bought it for 25K, he thought that's the price. He never looked on Google, school guy you know I tell him he's like Neil that's fucking amazing that you're telling me and are you sure you sure you asked me like we're in Marion we're partying we're drunk and he's like are you sure bro because I actually bought this on my Amex I'm pretty sure I have like whatever two more days to cancel the charge I'm like bro go home and cancel the charge so he calls me the next

day in the morning he's like bro it was a pleasure to meet you. I actually got all my money back from Amex. You're right. I checked with my other friend. The watch is fake. You're a savior. I'm going to come to you tomorrow and buy a real one. And they both came and they spent $400,000 the next day

on a real Richard Mille and a real AP chandelier. Holy crap. Yeah, crazy, bro. That's nuts. Yeah. Yeah, there's probably people that have no idea, honestly. Yeah, he had no idea. He had all the money in the world, but not all the money.

He was well off and yeah, he got scammed and he came and he was very happy and it was the craziest shit because usually I call out a fake watch and they're like, they turn around, you know, they avoid me. This guy was like, no way it's fake. Like he really thought it was real. Crazy. Do you have a favorite watch brand? For me, it's Richard Mille Yeah, he's mine because of a tire like I just feel like it suits us paddock on us will look too classy I'm too formal. I think yeah, my wrists are mad skinny. Like I don't know if I could pull off a Richard actually you can There is ultra thins bro. Like Luke Belmore. Yeah loves the ultra thins. You only buys that they're like Quentin bro. Damn

Yeah, I got looking in those. Yeah, I, I have three in stock or four in stock. Okay. Come on. The thing with Richard's is I'm not a fan of the strap. But what's like metal. I like metal. They make rubber. Oh, the rubber ones.

They make Velcro, they make elastic. Yeah. I just feel like, cause it's such a nice watch. Shouldn't it be a metal strap in your opinion? Well, it's a nice watch for a young athlete entrepreneur. That's what Richard Meehl goes after. The young guy who doesn't believe in dressing in a shirt and pants every day and working a typical nine to five, who's an entrepreneur who has money. And really like, if you look at young entrepreneurs now, it's mostly

shirt, shorts, joggers, you know, whatever sweats. And Richard Mille really fits the vibe to me. To me, it's perfect like on the strap, but you got to try one on, bro. Yeah, I've never tried one. Maybe my opinion would change. Yeah. You got to feel the way it sits on the strap, but you got to try one on bro. Yeah, I've never tried one. Maybe my opinion would change. Yeah, you got to feel the way it sits on your wrist bro. Like I've worn all of them. AP Rolex, Patek. And the way a Richard Mille sits on your wrist, like I fall asleep with them on.

You don't feel the watch on your wrist. Damn. This is super, I like light watches, right? And this is also a very light watch. It's ceramic. So obviously. Oh, this is nice, dude. You would think it's heavier too. Wow.

And very sleek, subtle, sexy, black ceramic. That's my style. Yeah, this is nice. You think it's heavier too. Wow. And very sleek, subtle, sexy, black ceramic. That's my style. Yeah, this is super light. I've never felt a watch that light. So light, no? Holy crap. You come see the Richard. Yeah, I'll check it out.

Is that your favorite watch in your collection? No, this is the AP Skeleton in particular. So that dial is my favorite watch, top two. But then I have this watch and steel black ceramic and white gold with the rainbow bezel factory so yeah not particularly the black ceramic actually my my favorite skeleton is the steel one because it's the most wearable steel interesting with steel that's cool what's the most expensive watch you've seen seen like just seen with your own eyes. Yeah, like probably like fucking

Gotta be like 8 10 million. Why watchers get up to 8 million? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, dude The most expensive one I've heard of like a million.

This week I sold a watch I lost a hundred thirty five thousand on what yeah, so that's what that's why people like timepiece trading because my cost is irrelevant Okay, I could pay it for this There was a time. This was 525 cheese my cost could be 525. It's not I paid 220 for this one But today if I was to sell this watch I would sell for 220. That's market. So my cost is irrelevant

I just sell according to market. You know like stocks like I Always buy good at the time I buy but sometimes I may have a watch for two years if the market drops I'm fucked right, but I need the money out because I reuse the money Yeah, cuz you're buying what almost every day at this point, right? I spent 300,000 a day. Holy watches. Yeah, are you serious? Yeah every day. Oh my god. I saw 300,000 a day. I buy 300,000 a day on watches. Are you serious? Yeah, every day. Oh my gosh. I sell $300,000 a day. I buy $300,000 a day. Wow. Yes.

Yeah, so in the market, because there was a crazy spike and then a big dip like last year. Crazy spike, big dip. You said it perfectly. So how did you adjust to that? I just tried to sell as quick as possible. I sold a little bit on the market at the time

to get rid of it quick. Tried to just break even instead of lose, but there were pieces, there was a watch, titanium, green dial, terbion unlimited 50. My cost was 505. This is the watch I sold this week. I sold it for 365. So I lost 140.

But it's okay. It's okay. We, I had four years where every watch I had in stock, if it wouldn't sell, bro, by the time I sold it, I was fucking 100% return because the market would go up so much on it. And now I'm going through the downside And this is where it shows who's strong and who's living on loans and who can continue to be a dealer because a lot of Dealers got wiped with the drop right had loans. They couldn't pay their interest. They're losing money Me I yeah, I was making so what I was happening

I'd lose money on my old stock, but I was still closing new deals of watches I didn't have in stock. I was making money on those. So I really like last year was like a flat line I don't really profit. I had crazy revenue. I think it was a 89 million or so, but I didn't profit much and that's why because the downfall but I'm happy because I know so many people who got smoked bro Plus you have the Rolodex now. Yeah, so you kept building your Rolodex yeah kept getting this year next year you'll crush your problems kept doing the social media like never like but yeah it did hurt it did hurt not knowing that like before bro i was like i don't care if i sell i'll close the office today because the watches are just gonna go up like i was so confident you know yeah it was easy to get comfortable during that period that's when all

the crypto nerds were buying yeah i'm sure you sold a ton for crypto back then. Yeah. Crypto is amazing, bro. It's amazing. And like you want to buy a watch today. Crypto is a God savior, bro, because you don't have to wait till Monday. Like you have a flight tomorrow. We do the deal today. Sometimes the wire takes days. Yeah. Like Aiden's going to buy the watch for Trump right now. And you guys are going to see his stream if you guys watch it and he's going to pay me crypto. Otherwise, how would we do it?
