$500K Flipping Watches in His First Year

Vincent Mercandetti · Moment for Time

August 2026

Vincent Mercandetti did roughly $450K in revenue in his first year flipping watches. All of it in the $1–8K range, and all of it while holding down a full-time job with two kids at home.

We get into how he sourced with limited capital, how he thinks about margin on fast-moving pieces, the mistakes that cost him real money, and the one deal that still keeps him up at night.

If you are early and trying to figure out whether this is a real business, this is the blueprint from someone a step or two ahead of you.
