The Second Hand is a long-form show about the people who actually move watches for a living, and how they built the businesses behind them. Every episode sits down with a working dealer, broker, or operator and takes them back to day one: the first flip, the first deal that went sideways, the systems they wired together to get from a phone and a hunch to a real operation. No hype, no unboxings. What comes out is a blueprint, the kind of honest, in-the-weeds conversation you would only get across the table from someone a few years ahead of you. If you buy, sell, trade, or broker watches, this is the show that treats it like the business it is. And if you are just getting started, it is the closest thing to an apprenticeship you can put in your ears. New conversations with the founding dealers building the trade. Powered by WristBook. For the ones that never stop moving.

    $500K Flipping Watches in His First Year — Vincent Mercandetti

    Vincent Mercandetti did about $450,000 in revenue in his first year flipping watches — and he'll cross half a million inside 15 months. He's not moving Daytonas. He works in the $1,000–$8,000 range, and he built the whole thing while holding down a full-time job with two young kids at home. In this episode Vincent breaks down the entire playbook: how he went from buying his first automatic on a whim to moving 200+ watches a year, where he actually sources inventory, the margin advice he'd give every new dealer, and the $1,800 deal that fell apart the day before the meet. If you're sitting on the sidelines waiting for the perfect first buy — this one's for you.
