The Value of Time (And Why Everyone Deserves an Opportunity)

The Value of Time (And Why Everyone Deserves an Opportunity)

I learned about time the hard way. Now, I want to help you own a piece of it.

A few years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer.

Don’t worry, I’m fine now. But when you are forced to stare down your own mortality, your relationship with time changes. You stop looking at a clock as just a utility. You start seeing it as a currency. It becomes precious.

That battle taught me to appreciate the artistry of time. It led me to watches.

I didn’t start flipping watches just to make a quick buck. I started because I was fascinated by the hunt. I loved the idea of finding something rare, understanding its mechanical artistry, and realizing that the market had undervalued it. I loved the “arbitrage,” the gap between what a watch was selling for and what it was actually worth.

But my appreciation for value came from a much darker place than just a hobby.

Years before the cancer diagnosis, I was fighting a different battle: Debt.

I struggled. I drowned in the system. I didn’t just “budget” my way out; I hit rock bottom and filed for bankruptcy. It was humbling. But it lit a fire in me. I rebuilt my life from zero. I started a non-profit to help other people navigate that same darkness and find their own fresh start.

I climbed my way back up. I built the wealth I needed to finally afford the luxury things that had always felt completely out of reach: the Rolexes, the Audemars Piguets, and the Pateks of the world.


The Hard Truth About Watch Flipping

We have all seen the videos. The guys standing in front of rented Lamborghinis, promising you can make millions overnight if you just buy their “Masterclass” for $2,000.

Here is the hard truth they won’t tell you: Flipping watches isn’t complicated.

It does not require a $5,000 degree. The math is simple: Buy Low, Sell High. The concept is easy. The hard part is finding the watch.

The bottleneck isn’t knowing that a Rolex Submariner is valuable; the bottleneck is finding one priced low enough to leave you a profit margin before 10,000 other people see it. That is where we come in.

That is why I founded Opportunity Watch Co. I built this club to be the antidote to the “Guru” culture.

  • Actionable Intelligence: Unlike those “pros” that charge you thousands for outdated theory, we give you actionable leads every single morning for $29.
  • Democratized Access: Unlike the clubs that gatekeep their community behind massive paywalls, we make it so anyone can play.
  • Real Tools: Unlike programs that promise “millions” without showing the work, we give you the raw tools to build your own freedom, one flip at a time.

We don’t just teach you how to fish; we take the boat out at 6:00 AM, find the school, and hand you the rod.


What is the Opportunity Watch Club?

It is my way of giving back. I stand at the intersection of two lives: The guy who knows what it feels like to have nothing, and the guy who knows the thrill of wearing a Rolex he bought with profit. I believe everyone deserves an opportunity.

  • For the Flippers: I scour the market and send you the top deals of the day. I find the margins; you keep the profit.
  • For the Collectors: I help you find the pieces you love at prices that make sense.
  • For the Dreamers: I hold regular luxury watch raffles exclusively for our paid subscribers.
