What does it take to run a trustworthy vintage watch business in 2025?

For Episode 2 we sit down with Alex - a self-taught Rolex dealer who’s moved over 250 watches in just two years. He's operating almost entirely through Facebook groups and WhatsApp chats, all while holding down a full-time job.

Together, we unpack the realities of sourcing vintage pieces, managing logistics without proper tools, and building trust in a market full of risk and ambiguity. From misrepresented parts to missing serials, we dive into why transparency matters more than ever and how Collected is building the infrastructure to support it.

Whether you're buying, selling, or somewhere in between, this one's for you.
