Most people think flipping watches is luck.
Or hype.
Or having thousands of dollars to start.

That’s a lie.

In this episode of ENDS The Family Time Podcast, we break down how real watch flippers turn a $50 watch into thousands—using knowledge, patience, and strategy instead of gambling and flexing.

We talk about:

This isn’t theory.
This is real-world game from the resale trenches—pawn shops, online marketplaces, estate finds, and everyday watches people sleep on.

This isn’t just about watches.
It’s about family, time, and legacy.

There are watches you buy…
and then there are watches you earn.

My first Shinola watch wasn’t just a timepiece—it was a milestone. As a hired Shinola employee, receiving and wearing the Shinola Derby Mother of Pearl, two-tone gold & silver 38mm watch meant far more than its nearly $900 MSRP. It represented pride, craftsmanship, and being part of something bigger than myself—Detroit manufacturing, legacy, and time well spent.

This is the story behind that watch and why it still matters to me today.

When you work for a brand that’s rooted in your city, your culture, and your community, every product carries meaning. The Derby wasn’t just my first Shinola watch—it was confirmation that my time, effort, and skills mattered.

It symbolized:

That feeling is something no hype watch can replace.

The Shinola Derby is a perfect example of understated luxury—clean, versatile, and built for everyday wear.

The standout feature of this Derby is its Mother of Pearl dial, which:

This dial brings elegance and personality to a simple design.

It’s a watch that works with your style, not against it.

With an MSRP close to $900, the Derby isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about investing in quality and story.

What you’re really paying for:

As an employee, that value hit deeper. It wasn’t about cost—it was about earned worth.

Wearing the Derby changed how I view watches entirely. It pushed me away from hype and toward purpose. It taught me that watches aren’t just accessories—they’re markers of moments in life.

That mindset eventually helped inspire Shabazz Collection:

Every piece we curate or create is rooted in that same philosophy.

Absolutely.

The Shinola Derby is ideal if you’re looking for:

It’s timeless, wearable, and emotionally grounded.

If this story resonates with you—if you believe watches should mean something—you’re already part of the family.

At Shabazz Collection, we focus on:

Whether you’re buying your first watch, learning the craft, or joining our growing community, this is about more than timekeeping.

It’s about time well spent.

What does it take to build a watch brand when you have no formal watchmaking experience, no investors, and no safety net—just belief?

In this deeply personal episode, Jovan Shabazz, founder of Shabazz Collection, shares the unfiltered story of how a Black man from Detroit turned curiosity into craftsmanship.

From refurbishing broken watches bought on eBay and thrift stores, to reselling on eBay, Poshmark, and Facebook, Jovan breaks down how learning by doing became the foundation for something much bigger. The journey eventually led to designing his own automatic and quartz watches, officially going into production at the end of 2025.

This episode isn’t just about watches—it’s about:

Jovan also talks about the recent relaunch of ShabazzCollection.com, designed by him personally, and why every Shabazz Watch represents more than style—it represents growth, resilience, and belief.

If you’ve ever started with nothing…
If you’ve ever learned as you went…
If you’ve ever wanted to support a brand that stands for community and legacy—

This episode is for you.

 Time is legacy—and every Shabazz Watch tells a story.

In this powerful Detroit-rooted episode of ENDS The Family Time, ENDS Bazz breaks down why the Shinola x J Dilla limited-edition watch has become one of the hottest entry-level investment pieces in modern watch culture — and why collectors are already paying far more than retail to get their hands on it.

This isn’t just a watch. It’s a tribute to J Dilla’s legacy, a celebration of Detroit creativity, and a masterclass in how culture + scarcity + storytelling can turn a timepiece into a real asset. We explore how Shinola’s limited production run, the deep hip-hop connection, and the emotional weight behind this collaboration have created a perfect storm for rising resale value — making it a smart, attainable starting point for new collectors who want to build a serious watch portfolio.

You’ll learn:

Whether you’re a hip-hop head, a Detroit supporter, or someone just starting your watch investment journey, this episode shows how a meaningful story on your wrist can also be money in the bank.

 Because when culture meets craftsmanship… time becomes an asset.

Everyone talks about retail price—but in the real watch world, retail doesn’t mean much.

In this episode, we break down what truly determines a watch’s trade market value—the number dealers, jewelers, and resellers actually use when real money is on the line. This is the side of the watch industry most people never see.

From demand and liquidity to condition, completeness, brand trust, and timing, we explain why two watches with the same MSRP can trade thousands of dollars apart—and why some watches hold value while others quietly lose it the moment they leave the store.

This episode pulls insight straight from the secondary market, where emotion is removed and numbers decide everything. You’ll learn how dealers price watches, how risk and speed affect value, and why hype doesn’t always equal money.

Whether you’re a collector, trader, flipper, investor, or first-time buyer, this episode will change how you look at watches forever. You’ll walk away understanding how to buy smarter, sell stronger, and move with confidence in the real market—not the marketing.

This isn’t about flexing.
This is about understanding value.

Tap in and learn how the watch trade market really works.

From ultra-lightweight tourbillons worn during NBA Finals games to off-court flexes with Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe, this episode explores how LeBron treats watches the same way he treats basketball: elite, intentional, and built for greatness.

If you love watches, sports, or luxury culture — this one’s for you.

What kind of watch does Elon Musk wear — and what does it say about the man shaping the future of technology, space, and transportation?

In this episode, we break down the watches Elon Musk has actually been spotted wearing, including the TAG HeuerCarrera SpaceX Chronograph and the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra, and explore why his choices are surprisingly minimal for one of the world’s most powerful billionaires.

We talk:
• Why Elon Musk isn’t a traditional watch collector
• The connection between SpaceX, engineering, and chronograph watches
• Function vs. flex — what Musk’s wrist really represents
• How his watch choices reflect innovation, discipline, and purpose
• What an Elon Musk–designed watch could look like in the future

Ever notice how some “gold” watches and chains look incredible in the store…
but weeks later they’re dull, faded, or turning your skin green?

That’s not bad luck.
That’s bad gold plating.

In this episode of ENDS The Family Time, we expose the jewelry game most brands don’t want you to understand.

You’ll learn:

If you wear gold-plated watches, chains, rings, or bracelets—or you’re tired of wasting money on jewelry that doesn’t hold up—this episode is a must-listen.

Because gold isn’t supposed to fade…
and now you’ll know exactly why yours did.

Behind the glass cases, handshakes, and nonstop movement of 47th Street lies a world most watch lovers never get to see. The New York Diamond District isn’t just a tourist stop or a jewelry hub—it’s the real-time trading floor of the global watch market.

This is where watches stop being “retail pieces” and start becoming assets. Where a Rolex can gain or lose thousands in a single afternoon. Where Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet are judged not by hype—but by liquidity, trust, and demand.

In this episode, we take you inside the block that quietly controls watch prices worldwide. No filters. No fluff. Just how deals actually happen, why online prices follow this street, and what collectors, resellers, and everyday buyers need to understand if they want to move smarter in the watch game.
