@@mikesmith6543 Well, the grey dial on the Speedmaster is pretty dark and the PAM00914 dial is black, so I think I'm good :) EDIT Speaking of keeping it at four, I might have cheated a little. My "perfect 4 watch collection" is like, my nicer watches. I do have a Tissot beater for holidays and the beach and such, and a Marathon Navigator for hiking/kayaking trips.
Some great choices here Teddy. I do love the Longines Master Calendar Chronograph, the 40mm wears so much smaller on the wrist than the measurements would indicate. It does take a little time to get your head round all the hands but once done is surprisingly easy to read. Incredible what you get for the money. I also love the Oris rectangle.
The Longines Master Calendar Chrono comes in 40 and 42mm. Regarding the calendar function, you still have to manually change the day and date on month's that end on the 30th. I would call it a day-date-month calendar rather than an annual. All things aside, I love that piece and it's my first automatic watch. Thank you for featuring it on your channel and giving it the attention it deserves!
I love these videos. I tend to lean toward the formal look and was glad to see you featured the King Seiko (wonderful watch) and the Oris Rectangular (great alternative would be the Longines Dolce Vita). I really like the color choices for the Oris and the look is seriously "tank".
I just love that Teddy doesn’t do videos that talk about rich peoples collection with their Rolex, Patek, AP. He really thinks of the modern collector and so much brand variety. Who else tells you to collect a G-Shock? Keep rocking it Teddy!
Love the look of the Frederique Constant. The round edge to the case gives it a look that's really similar to the IWC Portofino but clearly at a lower price point... and with the moonphase it is worth some serious consideration.
Great video, I really enjoy every single one of them. One idea how to make them even better, at least in my opinion. Maybe put a picture of all the watches for a particular persona once you are done with it, it will give us a better overview. Just a simple picture with basic dimensions and price. Keep it up, really great videos.
Christopher ward is one of my favorite brands. IMHO, the brand ticks all the boxes at 1000-3000 € price range with their catalogue. Love my C63 Sealander Elite. 😎 Tudor is still a safe choice. You can’t go wrong picking a Tudor. The Farer Markham world timer is just an amazing and refreshing design with great specs. 👌
Absolutely spot on video, Teddy. Would love to see you add another persona though, a "Tool Watch Fanatic" kind. Someone who just loves rugged designs and watches that are meant for more than just wrist candy. Cheers.
Nice video Teddy! I would love to see a video that I have not seen in the watch community yet, about your top 5 or top 7 watches to survive during months or even years in a desert island. I think it would be very interesting. Thank you!
The moment you restrict yourself with budget* to build a collection* you do not really understand what you yourself is looking for. There is no rush, find a watch you like and buy it. 20 years since I bought my first Seiko (the one for fifa 2002), it is still in my collection today with my Rolex, Tudor, JLC, Cartier, IWC, Casio in no specific order. Casio was actually the first watch I owned as a kid. I still have the two baby G but they were gifts, I did not spend my own money to buy.
True on this. The first luxury watch I bought was a rolex oyster perpetual and sold all my other fashion watches (Mk and kenneth cole 😅) one thing I didn’t sell was the one handed down to me by my husband which is a fossil chronograph… then proceeded to buying smart watches (apple- for health & wellness, garmin- for the advance running metrics for my running), then bought a casio duro, a quartz divers watch, which was on sale. I was searching for the perfect dive watch, when I saw the Duro online, and for the price, I just can’t let it pass… it is such a great deal for the price… a true diver’s watch, and one that you’re not afraid to actually use when diving, just in case it got lost or something in the sea! 😂 I’m more of a watches’ functionality person, because I know that I’ll never ever wear a diver’s watch in an office set up or anything, hence I chose to be practical about it. 😅
My dream collection at 7000--- Oris aquis red dial $2000 - $2500(market is crazy on them), aqua terra white dial $4000, Hamilton kahki $400, Seiko SKX $350 (always in my collection) some may not like that selection but its perfect for me.
The globemaster just doesn't look like a 7200 dollar watch..... Great stuff Teddy...been watching from your beginning... just dont really comment . Enjoy all your vids.
Good lookin' on the SPB115... didn't know about that black enamel. It's cool when you include new and different watches instead of the ones you've praised many times in your other vids.
Whenever a company says "PVD" and it's black, it means they cheaped out on doing a proper, tough DLC treatment. Great video; I think the personas are of limited value, but the smattering of watches shown is always good to see. 👍
Great video, as ever. How about: 1. Tudor BB58 (Dive) 2. 9F model GS (Dress/smart) 3. Hamilton Khaki (Field/everyday) 4. Casio/G-Shock (Beater/sport) Ps. There is NO such thing as a one watch collection!! A collection is more than one of something, surely! ;-)
7K is a tough range for multiple watches. Normally I'd be a 3 watch type person. For 7K i'd go Diver: BB58 everyday: Oris Big crown pointer date dress: Longines Flagship Heritage * Might barely over 7K but it's within range.
IMHO the perfect 7k watch collection contains: 1 x Omega Speedmaster Professional 5 x different Straps for the Moonwatch 1 x basic Casio G-Shock Thanks for the video!
I’m a doctor and sometimes we look through what to buy by our profession. I own an Omega seamaster diver - 300 and it’s absolutely lovely. Thinking of adding another diver- the Rado Captain Cook 300m. What do you think, Ted?
Great review especially the 1068 on a 6.25” wrist. I have a 00051 on leather and at 40mm, COSC rated. Looks great on my 6.5” wrist. A bit thick though. Would love to see the Submersible at 40mm, 300wr, lower thickness of less than 13mm, lug to lug of less than 49mm and of course hacking. IMO, would like to see a yellow dial submersible similar to the Doxa 600T Divingstar
Now that I am into watches, I remember a colleague of mine on my first job in the metro as he is fund of watches and would often show us his vintage watches… 😅 He’d just stop at our cubicles and just talk about what vintage watch he was wearing. At that time though I am still not into watches, but I’d always be fascinated to hear out his stories and look at the watches. 😅 The men that I’ve worked with on my first job were fond of watches and that’s what they’d often talk about and I always found it interesting to listen to. 😅 That’s also the time I saw a real rolex kermit submariner worn by someone. My former boss introduced me at one of the gatherings and I noticed it the moment he offered a hand shake, because we all know that Rolex have a lot of replicas out there. 😅 when it is one of the big bosses, you’ll know that it’s the real thing… and he’s also one of the nicest and most humble and intelligent person I’ve met. 😅 I’ve also seen Rolex submariners in the past worn by my husband’s relatives, but the Rolex kermit is just a rare find, and seldom do you see an individual wearing one. 😅 The coveted pieces are just something. 😄
You forgot persona 8: the look at me show off. And one of the largest collectors of the modern world! Also Teddy can you redo all these lists with watches you dont sell? So there will be 2 of each list and video for each. 1 for only products you sell and are capable of getting. ( so these already done) and 2 every watch that are great and sometimes better them only ones you sell. Thank that would be great to see and give other options for
I mean...........you cant buy a DECENT rolex for 7,000$ let alone build a collection with a rolex in it. Nothing against rolex but their prices are way out out of line for what they are giving you.
Easy, a Seamaster with couple of extra straps. Job done. In a few years you might have again budget for a watch. Spend it all on the best you can get and like. Then some more years will pass. You'll end up with better watches from several periods, matching your progression through life. That's a proper collection.
The Longines isn't an annual calendar, it's known as a triple calendar or a complete calendar. You have to change the date each month that ends on the 30th and of course February.
I’m trying to become the perfect duo persona. By tool watch pick was the black bay pro and my dress will probably be a Nomos just not sure which one. My favorite is the Lange sector dial one from the 90s
Great video as usual! Every time I see the Zenith Defy I would run to the ad to buy it...if just Zenith had made a 38mm version!!! I really hope they will do it sooner or later. Thank you for your detailed work!
For this price bracket I’d probably go Nomos Orion White 38, Hamilton Intra-Matic Chrono w/ blue and white dial, Seiko SPB143 and the Tissot Gentleman W/ blue dial.
Teddy, great Videos, big fan of the channel. Just a little feedback. This format could make a bit more sense if you go from wide to narrow or viceversa regarding the ammount of watches of the collection. 1.- one watch collection 2.- perfect duo 3.- Formal collecton 4.- Only sport watch (2 or 3 collection) 5.- 3 watch collection 6.- Check the boxes (4 to 5) 7.- Conversation starter (being one of the last it can be a few or a lot of watches) 8.- Hipster (leave the exotics, weird, boutique and rare watches for the end as a dessert). You could also make a budget speciphic for 1 watch adquisition (best watches for every type on XYZ budget). So you make a 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, etc and go throug the categories like dive, chrono, complications, dress watch, everyday, ruged beater, conversation starter, field watch, etc and give a mainstream and a boutique option for each. Keep the great work up, this is hands down the best timepiece channel on the web
I have recently discovered your videos. Thank you for all the advices! What do you think about the Longines Master Calendar Chronograph in blue with blue leather?
I've become a combination of a One-Watch Collector and Hipster. I am perfectly happy with my Baltic Aquascaphe GMT. Unless a Rolex GMT Master falls from the sky and drops in my lap, I am perfectly satisfied with this $1k GMT.
I like the format of this video, as it helps me (a fairly new collector) try to identify what type of persona I am before committing to expanding my collection. I only considered myself a "collector" when my wife bought me the 42mm Aikon - it perfectly suits my taste and I could not have picked a better watch myself (unless I could afford the AP Royal Oak, which I certainly cannot). Still don't know what type of persona I am but I feel like I'm learning more about myself (and the many watches available out there) the more I watch your videos.
Love your videos but especially the ones like this. Now I know it doesn’t fit your model but I would love to hear your take on smart watches. For ex I bought an orient and broke the bezel insert. This was supposed to hold me over until I bought my big boy watch. Since it broke I caved and got an Apple Watch (stainless with the bracelet) until I can afford a carrier santos 🥵
The Longines isn't an annual calendar. It doesn't correct for short months; you have to set the date at the end of every months with less than 31 days. It's also odd to compare it to a Patek, which, aside from being a Patek, is a perpetual calendar, which by itself puts it in an entirely different price point.
Was going to say the same thing, had to do a double take that I wasn’t misunderstanding. I was like wait I thought the Master Collection Chrono just had a complete calendar, not an annual. I know that the Master Collection does have an annual calendar reference, but not this exact chronograph calendar watch.
Yes and no… for the price difference can you really complain about a calendar reset once per month? A perpetual calendar is nothing more than a bit more math in development, but nothing to be blown away by. I understand your qualms but I believe it to be a fair comparison. Can you think of other quality calendar watches between each? Not a dig btw I’m curious bc I can’t think of anything. I’m also a novice about this stuff though
Pretty much all of that is a non sequitur. What qualms? It was just a question of definition. That Longines is not an annual calendar; it doesn't do what an annual calendar does. An annual calendar costs thousands more than a standard calendar, a perpetual calendar costs multiples of an annual calendar, and a Patek, just by being Patek, costs an order of magnitude more than Longines, so yeah, it's $150k. He mixed several categories to make an outlandish comparison. The comparison is odd, not to say weird. What's "fair" about it?
I like to hunt down the limited edition version of a particular watch that I like. I'm getting the watch that I like but also I feel like I have something more exclusive or unique because it's that limited edition color or dial or whatever.
Some brilliant watches in this. I've toyed with the idea of swapping out my Longines 1945 for Longines Sector...I just feel the 1945 should have been a touch smaller than it is. The size of the Sector is better.
I think Teddy has a video dedicated to this... he visited original home of Hamilton and looked at both the Auto and the Mechanical. Really cool watches
For a one watch persona I would choose an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 38mm saffron dial. It's got it all for an MSRP of 6,000 USD. IMO the new King Seiko missed the mark with the lack of a bespoke movement as the originals always had.
Maurice lacroix masterpiece annual flyback is the one to be mentioned here instead of the Longines. Not only up for grabs for less than 2k on the grey market but also with a solid 18k bezel.
my current 3 watch collection: BB58 925, GS Snowflake, Khaki Field Mechanical. Perfect trio.
Nice, i like those 3
Just completed _my_ perfect 4 watch collection this week:
- Breitling Navitimer A23322, blue dial, blue leather strap
- Rolex DateJust 16013, cream dial, green leather strap
- Omega Speedmaster Date, grey dial, bracelet
- Panerai PAM00914, brown leather strap
Hey Stacey. You've made great choices. Nice collection!
@@mikesmith6543
Thanks! :)
I think it's a pretty diverse 4 watch collection.
I agree with you. Well thought out, nice pieces. It'll be hard to keep it at 4. A black dial?
@@mikesmith6543
Well, the grey dial on the Speedmaster is pretty dark and the PAM00914 dial is black, so I think I'm good :)

@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n I don't think the Tank ever left, I love them.
@@anthonystevens8683 Same here. There's some great variations of watches with corners as well like the Hamilton Ventura.

A lot of thought went into this video, the personas categories was very interesting. Awesome work!
100% agreed on that Globemaster. I love the “pie pan” shape of the dial, reminds me of the old Constellation
Christopher ward is one of my favorite brands.
IMHO, the brand ticks all the boxes at 1000-3000 € price range with their catalogue.

Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite TH-cam channel by far.
I would love to see more breitling and tag heuer. Maybe review the aqua racer?
The Mido is a splendid alternative to the Certina at 39.5mm. I just bought the Ocean Star Tribute on the mesh bracelet. Most pleasing.
Really appreciate all the different watches. Must have been a ton of work. Thanks.
That Omega Globemaster is a beauty! Had a Seamaster 300, but the hockey puck case/bezel catches on everything and hangs on shirt sleeves so I sold it.
Excellent suggestions with a wide variety of choices from different manufacturers. Yes please continue these type of videos!
The Longines Master Chronograph is So SO SOO gorgeous!!! Ugh.. so pretty!
Really enjoy these videos, nice to see the combinations of good watches for a reasonable price 😀 👍

Teddy, great Videos, big fan of the channel. Just a little feedback.
This format could make a bit more sense if you go from wide to narrow or viceversa regarding the ammount of watches of the collection.
1.- one watch collection
2.- perfect duo
3.- Formal collecton
4.- Only sport watch (2 or 3 collection)
5.- 3 watch collection
6.- Check the boxes (4 to 5)
7.- Conversation starter (being one of the last it can be a few or a lot of watches)
8.- Hipster (leave the exotics, weird, boutique and rare watches for the end as a dessert).
You could also make a budget speciphic for 1 watch adquisition (best watches for every type on XYZ budget). So you make a 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, etc and go throug the categories like dive, chrono, complications, dress watch, everyday, ruged beater, conversation starter, field watch, etc and give a mainstream and a boutique option for each.

The Longines isn't an annual calendar. It doesn't correct for short months; you have to set the date at the end of every months with less than 31 days. It's also odd to compare it to a Patek, which, aside from being a Patek, is a perpetual calendar, which by itself puts it in an entirely different price point.
Was going to say the same thing, had to do a double take that I wasn’t misunderstanding. I was like wait I thought the Master Collection Chrono just had a complete calendar, not an annual. I know that the Master Collection does have an annual calendar reference, but not this exact chronograph calendar watch.
Yes and no… for the price difference can you really complain about a calendar reset once per month? A perpetual calendar is nothing more than a bit more math in development, but nothing to be blown away by. I understand your qualms but I believe it to be a fair comparison. Can you think of other quality calendar watches between each?
Not a dig btw I’m curious bc I can’t think of anything. I’m also a novice about this stuff though
Pretty much all of that is a non sequitur. What qualms? It was just a question of definition. That Longines is not an annual calendar; it doesn't do what an annual calendar does. An annual calendar costs thousands more than a standard calendar, a perpetual calendar costs multiples of an annual calendar, and a Patek, just by being Patek, costs an order of magnitude more than Longines, so yeah, it's $150k. He mixed several categories to make an outlandish comparison. The comparison is odd, not to say weird. What's "fair" about it?
Can you make a video on Grand Seiko GMT SBGN005? It is a luxury quartz watch which claims to have a service interval of 50 years.
I like to hunt down the limited edition version of a particular watch that I like. I'm getting the watch that I like but also I feel like I have something more exclusive or unique because it's that limited edition color or dial or whatever.
Some brilliant watches in this. I've toyed with the idea of swapping out my Longines 1945 for Longines Sector...I just feel the 1945 should have been a touch smaller than it is. The size of the Sector is better.
Looking forward to a $75,000 watch collection video
26:55 what does he mean by "rehot" on the Tudor Pelagos?
What do we think about the Hamilton Intra-Matic Auto?
I think Teddy has a video dedicated to this... he visited original home of Hamilton and looked at both the Auto and the Mechanical. Really cool watches
I love the Speedmaster ‘57 Broad Arrow for the single piece at $7k. The Zentih & GS ShunBun would also be on my shortlist.
For a one watch persona I would choose an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 38mm saffron dial. It's got it all for an MSRP of 6,000 USD.
IMO the new King Seiko missed the mark with the lack of a bespoke movement as the originals always had.
Yes! I just bought the exact Aqua Terra, that Kevin bought in Teddy's $60k challenge. Absolutely love it.
Tag Heuer Grand Carrera collection is fantastic for the 1 watch collection... speaking from experience :D
what glasses do you wear?
can you review oceanica thresher dive watch
Casio G + Tudor BB + Fredrique Constant
Teddy, ill need a video on building a collection with $700😅Thats a challenge even for u.
What do you think about Bvlgari watches
I love these videos, BUT I think you forgot the 60 different G-Shocks collection.
Maurice lacroix masterpiece annual flyback is the one to be mentioned here instead of the Longines. Not only up for grabs for less than 2k on the grey market but also with a solid 18k bezel.
Top notch
OMG! Wanna get them asap he he
He loves nomos i just had the plain white dials idk i guess for a dress watch but at the price idk
