How TikTok took over NY’s Diamond District

Julia Azeroual buys $36,000 worth of watches in one day. Tyler Mikorski -- aka Vookum -- flips a watch in 30 minutes and makes $500. All around them, deals swirl. Welcome to New York’s Diamond District, an institution that has gone global across TikTok, KZread and Instagram. Not for the faint hearted, this new generation of hustlers are making it big…or trying to.
In this week’s episode of Stay Tuned, we go behind closed doors to see what it takes to close a deal on 47th Street.

    Lol you know what I noticed? They just sell watches to each other like it goes from one seller to another seller By the time it gets to the customer, that's why the prices are so expensive lol

    More importantly, by the time it gets to the final buyer, the “origin” of this watch has legitimacy because it can’t be traced, Rolex should make known the watch list of stolen watches.

    All the people in this watch world realm on 47th are all beautiful human beings from the main players that bring the content down to all the unlocked characters from Benny to Walter giving the world a piece of their lives with this entertainment platform , You are a part of New York City that no one can ever take away from each one of you and is a world I can't imagine any one of you not being a part of , Couldn't get a more stellar cast on Broadway than the cast on 47th , All stay well and Safe ! Much appreciated .
