Anthony would go to other watch dealers, take photos of their inventory, and list them on social media as his own.

Once he saw he could make good money from this he learned everything he could about watch dealing and formed his company to what is known today as The Timepiece Gentleman. Anthony made the sale with this buyer and then did a few more flips after. He decided in order to meet the buyer at 8pm he was going to quit his job. However, Anthony would not be able to meet this buyer because he could only meet at 8pm the time Anthony was waiting tables.Īfter doing some thinking, Anthony told himself that if he were to make this sale and then do it again a couple more times, he would be making the same amount of money flipping watches as he would’ve working his two jobs. Selling this watch to that buyer would mean that Anthony would make a $1,000 profit which was a big deal considering he was only making $1,200 a week working mornings at a gym and waiting tables at night. Three days after buying another watch to flip, he again found a potential buyer. Anthony made a $500 profit from this sale and used the money to go buy another watch. The potential buyer met with Anthony and did in fact end up buying the watch. This offer was much more than Anthony was expecting so at first, he thought it was a scam. Shortly after listing the watch, he got contacted by someone interested in the piece offering $2,300. Anthony later ended up listing this watch on a reseller’s website.
