    • From $50 to $5,000: How Watch Flippers Really Make Money

      From $50 to $5,000: How Watch Flippers Really Make Money
      Feb 2 2026

      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:

      • How watch flippers actually spot undervalued pieces
      • The biggest mistakes beginners make that kill profits
      • Affordable watch brands most people overlook
      • Why cleaning, servicing, and storytelling matter more than brand names
      • How Detroit hustle translates perfectly into the watch game
      • The difference between fast money and smart money

      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.

      Whether you’re:

      • Trying to flip your first watch
      • Sitting on watches you don’t wear anymore
      • Curious how people really make money in watch culture
      • Or building a long-term collection with purpose

      This episode will change how you look at timepieces forever.

    • My First Shinola: How a $900 Derby Watch Marked My Entry Into Detroit Watchmaking

      My First Shinola: How a $900 Derby Watch Marked My Entry Into Detroit Watchmaking
      Jan 25 2026
      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. Why the Shinola Derby Was Different for Me 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: GrowthBelongingCraftsmanshipAnd respect for the work put in behind the scenes That feeling is something no hype watch can replace. Shinola Derby Mother of Pearl 38mm — Watch Details The Shinola Derby is a perfect example of understated luxury—clean, versatile, and built for everyday wear. Case Size & Wearability 38mm stainless steel caseIdeal for daily wear, business casual, and dress settingsBalanced proportions that never feel oversized or dated Mother of Pearl Dial The standout feature of this Derby is its Mother of Pearl dial, which: Reflects light naturally and changes with every angleOffers subtle iridescent tones rather than a flat white finishElevates the watch without being flashy This dial brings elegance and personality to a simple design.

Movement & Build Reliable quartz movement for accuracy and easeScratch-resistant sapphire crystalSolid construction designed for real life—not just display Understanding the Value Beyond the MSRP 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: Detroit-based manufacturingAmerican assemblyEthical productionLong-term durabilityA watch built with intention As an employee, that value hit deeper. It wasn’t about cost—it was about earned worth. How This Watch Shaped My Watch Journey 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: Watches with meaningEducation over hypeCommunity over clout Every piece we curate or create is rooted in that same philosophy.

    • “From Refurbishing Ebay Timepieces to Building a Watch Brand: My Journey as a Black Founder in Detroit”

      “From Refurbishing Ebay Timepieces to Building a Watch Brand: My Journey as a Black Founder in Detroit”
      Jan 20 2026

      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:

      • Building confidence when no one hands you permission
      • Creating legacy through timepieces
      • Being a Black founder in an industry where representation is rare
      • Turning mistakes, losses, and long nights into momentum

      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.
