    Dappertime Watches

    EXECUTION 
    realistically it's a mix between a new design and an existing watch. I scoured through hundreds of thousands of pictures of watches and pocket watches to find something similar to what I was going after. I chose the movement I wanted and reached out to manufacturers in a few countries with a...

    Dappertime Watches

    EXECUTION 
    PM'd. As an update: I have been in talks with a few manufacturers late last week. I am spending today and tomorrow making sure I and the manufacturers are on the same page as far as the design, and there are no typos in any of the caseback or logo engravings. once I have the details hammered...

    Dappertime Watches

    EXECUTION 
    I agree completely. Social media has made it so much easier for people to show everyone all the stuff they have. The watch market is incredibly crowded, but it seems there is no shortage of people who want them, regardless of how many brands are out there. The struggle I was having is finding...

    Dappertime Watches

    EXECUTION 
    I've been watching what original grain has been doing over the last few years, with crowdfunding and all, but their product does look like garbage for the price. All the other wooden watch brands are as you said, either shit or have shitty websites. Huge potential

    EXECUTION 
    I didn't expect it to be as expensive as I'm seeing. SST and rose gold, leather bands, and the only expensive piece I could see is the automatic movement. I am looking at 500pcs as well. Did you have any luck selling your watches?

    Dappertime Watches

    EXECUTION 
    I've been struggling lately with getting a good quote that I am happy with. My manufacturers are all capable of supplying exactly what I want, the price just seems to be a bit high. I'm looking at about $120/piece shipped. Now, with that being said this product can compete in a more luxury...

    Looking to buy first multi-family home

    REAL ESTATE 
    I'm considering 80% occupancy as the worst case scenario. In my area rental property in 1,2 and 3 family houses is NEVER available, they show up on craigslist and are rented the same day. (I know this from talking to my current landlord and my landlord from a few years ago as well as a little...

    Looking to buy first multi-family home

    REAL ESTATE 
    I've become more realistic in what i'm looking to buy, staying with a 2 or 3 family for now until I can grow. I have looked into this, and there are ways to get a mortgage on a duplex or triplex with very low or no down payment through FHA loans. The only issue with these loans is they charge...

    Copying a business

    EXECUTION 
    I am copying the business model with a higher end product, my product will have a few very distinct changes. I am lucky enough to have a brother who was gifted one of my competitor's products so I know what i am up against and exactly how to create a better product. You're right, i'm on the...

    Copying a business

    EXECUTION 
    What's up guys, I'm currently working on my fastlane success story, but I've hit some small stumbling blocks, and to be completely honest they may just be in my head. I'm basically copying someone else's business, but my product will be more luxurious and therefore more expensive but in the...

    HOT! 
    So what happens to the funder's money when a kickstarter project isn't completely funded? do they lose it? do they get it back? do they get the product anyway?

    Dappertime Watches

    EXECUTION 
    Update! I've co tatted a few suppliers/manufacturers in China about producing my watch. I've figured out my niche and am currently working on The design. (Speaking of, does anyone know of a good rendering software?) Once my design is done I will be sending it out for quotes while putting up a...

    Dappertime Watches

    EXECUTION 
    I will be updating you all with my plan and progress once I get my research finished and hammer out my products. I have never done this ecommerce thing before, but I would think you can set up your own website and start selling pre-orders so you don't waste your money on building an inventory...
