I bought a PRX powermatic 80 not too long ago as the first watch I’ve ever bought for myself. My dad has always worn a Tissot (previous generation PRX’s) my entire life so it made sense. Turns out, he actually owned a Tissot Seastar back in the 70’s which was the model that the newer PRX was based off of. When I found that out, I went and bought him a new PRX for Father’s Day. To me, that makes this watch mean that much more to me, having that connection to my dad.
Orient is not well known in the US. But it is well known everywhere else basically. I mean hell I am from Cuba, a small country with very little access to the international world, and must people in Cuba buy Orients, even going back 30 years. Off course also many people buy Seiko as well. But you ask any cuban person,anyone if they ever heard of Orient and the answer will be yes. Can't say for sure what is that make Orient watches so popular in Latin America and Caribbean, can't really say, but this brand is very,very popular down there
Teddy Orient was originally marketed as a more affordable watch for LATIN AMERICA and AFRICA where battery distribution was difficult at first. That's why they only manufacture mechanical timepieces. At one point they briefly made MORE mechanical movement watches than now parent company Seiko. The Tri-Star series is legendary in Latin America.
My best watch is the Seiko turtle. I've got other watches but my absolute favourite is the turtle. The crown doesn't dig into the wrist and the dial is almost perfect.
Ya Jacob deff deserves props! Anyone with that level of creativity should be appreciated. My AD spent a good 20 minutes with me showing them off even though I said I couldn’t afford them. Had a great time admiring them!
My collection (based on what i was able to afford) 1. Seiko presage bought at 250usd 2. Seiko5 GMT bought at 360usd 3. Orient kamasu III bought at 160usd And i love them
My pick for the best under $1000 is between the seiko alpinist or the seiko gmt. Probably my favourite watch of all time is the SARB017 model of the alpinist even not regarding price point and the affordability of the seiko 5 gmt is unmatched but also is a flashy looker which looks way more expensive than it is especially with the jubilee bracelet. I've got both so I'm biased but as I said, those are my picks, I also have the bulova devil diver and mido ocean star which I believe both are very underrated.
I love both orient and seiko..both are great value for money watch makers !! If i have to buy a dress watch i ll go with Orient and sports watch its seiko for sure
Sometimes you find in Japan domestic Modells, which are 50% off, especially in the "Loft" Shops with stationary. They have a selection of watches. So at Christmas I founded a autumn special Modell for 125$. Nice! This is a very low price!
I appreciate your love for small brand watches. I'm thinking of the orange Doxa watch you did with Mr Wonderful. What do you think of the French watch brand Yema? They seem to use some Seiko movements as well as their own.
16:06 for those who feel Sinn is no longer the value it once was, I would refer you to their “sister” brand Guinand, instead. They don’t do the more extreme tech that Sinn does, but from a sheer price-to-performance perspective, it really fills the void in the market that Sinn used to occupy. Being that Sinn himself used to own them, you’ll find a very similar design language coupled with monster specs. They also offer incredible customer service…being open to bespoke customization requests, along with top tier build quality. They’re especially good value for chronographs, often being several hundreds cheaper than comparable Sinns, with a better buying experience and basically equivalent quality.
Fail on the $1000 and under survey. How could you not include the Longines conquest line? MSRP on a quartz model is under a grand and Street on an automatic is also under Grant. Fail!
The one brand I would feel comfortable buying vintage would be Longines. Based on your visit they have parts for AGES on hand to restore your timepiece.
Absolutely love how you show your passions and self expression through more than just watches when you showed what you wear other than suits The selvedge denim and boots speak volumes about your love for high quality & fairly conservative/classic style
Jacob & Co have a unique design style. Not for me per se, but I appreciate the craftsmanship.involved. I say this while wearing a somewhat gaudy Seiko Mod.
I have a ~5.5 inch wrist and prefer to wear and have collection of 39-42mm watches, Omega Planet Ocean 42mm 8500 being most worn (one ~34mm antiques one as well in collection); just wear what you like and buy what you can. Oh, and that Casio G-Shock - what size is that 50mm+ :) (though I don't wear it, just have it). As per servicing, and as an example, Omega service costs USD600-800 (includes replacements) but then if you know who is ace and no replacements are required, go trusted cheaper service; of course if you have 25k-50K+ watches, better go 100% authorised.
I find Orient to Seiko analogy similar to Omega to Rolex analogy. All four great watch brands but somehow Orient and Omega are still chasing their big brothers while providing higher technological value for the money spent.
Dear Teddy, how are you? My girlfriend really liked the Longines Dolcevita ( she likes square watches in general ) but her wrist is super small so the watch looked too big on her wrist. The salesperson didn’t know what else to recommend so I would if you know anything. Love your work !
A lot of the listed watches have mineral type glass. Very scratch prone. I would highly recommend Citizen. Most of their face glass is sapphire crystal.
Just found your channel. You’re doing a great job and really helping new and experienced buyers/collectors. Very well spoken. New subscriber right here.
Being from Brazil I can attest that every mall here have 3 or 4 dedicated whatch stores and they are flooded with lower prices Orients and Citzens and Casios. And than we have jewery store with some Bulova, Victorinox and some Seikos as well. I suppose your miliage may vary and I suppose here in my country Orient sells a lot more than other brands.
Love these Q&A videos. I agree about it really being a personal thing as to size of a watch. I have 7 in. wrist and my favorite everyday watch is a 1947 Omega that comes in at 33mm and I won't wear anything over 35mm.
same, I switched to only vintage a few years ago. I recently looked at rolexes current line at watches of switzerland in vegas and they all looked so big and goofy.
@@MrMadvillanThe smallest Rolex is 28mm. I can just about wear one that size. 10 years ago, it was 26mm. What's happened to make watches so big? I can't wear 90% of watches for men.
Hallo Teddy, I think these Q& A videos are very informative. As for rist size. Be yourself, it is far more important to be happy then to fit into what others think! Buy it , wear it ,enjoy it any way you like😊 Thanks and as always love from Switzerland 🇨🇭
What do you think about (Cover Watches): Cover is a Swiss brand that not a lot of people know about it and I think it’s really underrated because their quality is really good and it’s not expensive I think it’s under a 1000$ or even under 500$ I have the Co192 Chapman Chronograph and it has a really nice specs (Dimensions:42.5 , Stainless Steel , with a sapphire glass, water resistant to 100m , movement: Ronda Quartz Cal. 5021.D) and all that under a 500$ so what do you think about it and can you make a video about it?????
First watch rec? I want it to be diver and with steel bracelet. If it could be below $200 even better. Been looking at Casio duro but I have to buy bracelet seperately
For the under 500 watch brand, most people may choose a Japanese brand. However a Swiss brand Swatch has been delivering stunning good watches. Use this budget 500 I have bought a few highly exciting and lots of fun Swatch watches, which is big bold chrono, black-one chrono, swatch x with Center Pompidou as well as a hotcake moon watch chrono.
Can you recommend a list of best solar power watches, preferably dress and/or casual collections? I've a few mechanical and quartz watches, however, I don't wear them everyday and don't enjoy replacing batteries. Thanks!
So after the suit question, the both suit and especially non suit clothes you were wearing were pretty cool. As a guy its pretty hard to get any good clothing advice. Do think its possible that different clothes that may possibly go with different watch brands? Would you ever do a video on different clothing styles that you have for your different watches? I say this because at 41 year old guy i literally have no idea how to dress. Great watch reviews, thanks!
A lot of good topics were covered in this video. I feel I can speak a bit on the BB54 as I have tried it on and have a 7.25" wrist. I am on the taller side and I don't know this person's height, but proportionally it did not look correct on me. If the AD has a full length mirror, look in that. The sales person was seeing that same view and either way potentially sells a similar priced watch, so they weren't likely trying to lead him astray. Although the BB54 does wear bigger than 37 sounds on paper, it's still small. I personally think a BB58 is going to be better for that size wrist when thinking of a compact/vintage sized diver. For me personally, the Pelagos 39 is an even better wearing experience with its slightly larger bezel and lug width. Having tried on vintage Submariners, the wearing experience is pretty much the same with the P39. I will wear 38mm field watches, but a 38-39mm watch looks the same on my wrist as what a 36mm watch looks like on smaller wrists. Don't fall into the trap of thinking a very small watch is what you should be wearing even if it's the talk of the watch community or hyped right now. I don't go into a store and buy a medium sized t-shirt because it's the popular size. I buy what fits me. I bet that guy could get a lightly pre-owned BB58 for a good price at this point and save some money. Teddy, thanks for addressing the Seiko price thing. You really summed it up well. So many people don't seem to get that those prices back in the day were artificial so to speak and not meant to be that low. That being said, I do think some of Seiko's Prospex price increases well into 4 figures are a bit much for what they're offering with the movements/accuracy. That doesn't mean I don't want one though.
Hi Teddy., as a frecuent viewer of your content, becuase of the topic, and matter you discuss, I appreciate that you are always well dressed, I see it as a very polite and respectfull thing., It says you take your time to be at your best for your viewers, your channel, and yourself. Thank you. Greetings from MX
Took a Cartier watch to a darker to have serviced. Specifically asked where they would send it and it wasn't too Cartier. It was to a local shop that did every other brand. So i didn't give it to them.
On Seiko vs Orient, totally agree, didn’t know anything about Orient until I got into collecting. On Teddy seeming like he’s always in a suit - sorry Teddy but absolutely I have never thought of you in anything but a suit!! 😂😂
If we're being technical and not basing off of popularity I believe that the mido ocean star would be the best watch under $1000. It's light, thin, has a nice design, has a sapphire crystal with double AR coating, has an 80 hr power reserve with a strong reputation for being very accurate, 200m water resistance, great bracelets with ON THE FLY micro adjust, good lume and even a day date display. I love my ocean star in titanium, but the regular model at $1k just can't be beaten on a technical level especially in the swiss watchmaking scene.
Hey Teddy! What top 3 would be your go to when it comes to a watch under $500 USD on a Jubilee bracelet? I'm hoping I can find one that ill love and can buy in a couple months.
A salesman telling you a watch is too large or too small is like a salesman telling you favorite color is blue or green. It’s is 100% subjective. If you like, and can afford it, but it.
1. I agree that under $500 Seiko is king and the better choice, Orient is less relevant. Especially because Orient QA is better, its movements are slightly more precise than Seiko and watches are offered with better crystals. A better product cannot be the winner, especially when compared to a larger parent brand that makes you pay more for an inferior product. 2. I also agree that JacobCO watches show "great engineering", especially when offering extremely useful performance and precision enhancing dual rotating tourbillons, as well as roses and movie posters inside their watches. I also admit that the music box function is what I was always missing when wearing a luxury product. I agree that the uniquely poor legibility of the watch dial and hands in this case can indeed be called "thinking outside the box". Possibly the watchmaker really wanted to either coat the crystal with black paint or apply goldplating to the crystal, but instead was forced to think of creative ways to make sure the time could not be told just by a glance at the watch face. They should make an even more limited edition of godfather watch, where the entire crystal is replaced by a piano top with Don Corleone's portrait staring straight into my eyes, him letting me know that my time is up, since this is the watch I've chosen to wear.
I hope that guy got the smaller Tudor. Get what moves you when you see it on your wrist. That rep is swept up in the ridiculous large watch trend of the 2007 period.
It would’ve been funny if you ran with that suit question. Have you waking up and getting out of bed with a suit on. Coming home from work and taking off your suit and there’s a suit underneath the suit, etc.
I bought a PRX powermatic 80 not too long ago as the first watch I’ve ever bought for myself. My dad has always worn a Tissot (previous generation PRX’s) my entire life so it made sense. Turns out, he actually owned a Tissot Seastar back in the 70’s which was the model that the newer PRX was based off of. When I found that out, I went and bought him a new PRX for Father’s Day.

Now sir, you are the smartest buyer going all japanese and getting excellent quality at half the price of the swiss counterparts
My collection is identical lol. I just got into watches last year.
I have a Rolex air-king, a Cartier Tank, and a Movado Museum. But my next watch will probably be a Seiko. Good day to day watches.
Casio Tiffany
Seiko Tank (stainless steel)
Seiko Neo Classic (black)
Zodiac Olympus Automatic (Ocean Blue)

Orient is the value play vs Seiko. Seiko has moved their pricing higher of late. Orient's 70's retro line is killer.

Japan has Seiko.
Switzerland has Rolex.
Seiko is still a more innovative watch company.
Mass production always requires compromise between quality, cost and volume. Seiko does this better.
Seiko also puts out a lot of uninspired crap, where almost everything Rolex releases is a homerun. So that innovation comes at a cost.

I love my ocean star in titanium, but the regular model at $1k just can't be beaten on a technical level especially in the swiss watchmaking scene.
It's all about the watch.
It's not about the wrist.
What goes for Seiko pricewise, also goes for Sinn I think?

Hey Teddy! What top 3 would be your go to when it comes to a watch under $500 USD on a Jubilee bracelet? I'm hoping I can find one that ill love and can buy in a couple months.
A salesman telling you a watch is too large or too small is like a salesman telling you favorite color is blue or green. It’s is 100% subjective. If you like, and can afford it, but it.
Yoo, sugess is rock solid under 500 dollar
Some tough choices in that poll! Gonna be fun to see it play out.
Absolutely love this QnA videos, keep it up Teddy💪 Thank you for the great content as always❤
What about Swiss Military Hanowa?

1. I agree that under $500 Seiko is king and the better choice, Orient is less relevant. Especially because Orient QA is better, its movements are slightly more precise than Seiko and watches are offered with better crystals. A better product cannot be the winner, especially when compared to a larger parent brand that makes you pay more for an inferior product.
2. I also agree that JacobCO watches show "great engineering", especially when offering extremely useful performance and precision enhancing dual rotating tourbillons, as well as roses and movie posters inside their watches. I also admit that the music box function is what I was always missing when wearing a luxury product.
I agree that the uniquely poor legibility of the watch dial and hands in this case can indeed be called "thinking outside the box". Possibly the watchmaker really wanted to either coat the crystal with black paint or apply goldplating to the crystal, but instead was forced to think of creative ways to make sure the time could not be told just by a glance at the watch face. They should make an even more limited edition of godfather watch, where the entire crystal is replaced by a piano top with Don Corleone's portrait staring straight into my eyes, him letting me know that my time is up, since this is the watch I've chosen to wear.
I hope that guy got the smaller Tudor. Get what moves you when you see it on your wrist. That rep is swept up in the ridiculous large watch trend of the 2007 period.
It would’ve been funny if you ran with that suit question. Have you waking up and getting out of bed with a suit on. Coming home from work and taking off your suit and there’s a suit underneath the suit, etc.
Completed survey
Still think Seiko still offers the best overall value at this range.. although they have lost a lot of ground.
