biggest advice to you, wear any G-shocks for 3 months, your 42mm will feel like a tiny dot on your wrist and just a layer of skin on how thin they'll feel.
I think the craze of big sports watches is that, a craze. Sure, big watches will always have their place due to legibility and durability, but like most things in the watch world, they are not necessary for telling the time. Therefore it comes and goes like the tide.
@@racebannon2332 Like a dress watch, you could think of it as your day watch. I find the fact that the hour and minute hands are very similar to be more of an issue than the lack of lume.
After a year of saving and much thought, I finally acquired a Mark XX on the stainless bracelet and I can honestly say it’s my favorite watch I’ve ever owned.
Brilliant video Teddy, always finding a way to cover so many different brands and models. Love this type of series. Thanks for the exposure to watches across the board here!
Agreed. I have two and one is so banged up as it was my daily and scratched on a brick wall unlocking the door to a new house I was in and unfamiliar with 😢
Great video. This is the size I am poking around at for my first automatic watch. Most of these are way out of my budget, but it’s still awesome to hear TB’s take on these. In particular, I picked up on that Mido, which I wouldn’t have otherwise shopped. And his comments on some of the movements were enlightening. I appreciate this one a lot!
Think twice before getting it. I have sent my big date to get service because the date got stuck and now waiting for the movement replacement that hopefully resolve the problem (although still a bit sceptical with the replacement)
Teddy, great video as always. My humble suggestion would be to do another series based on wrist size, not case size. You can showcase dress watches to divers of different case sizes all appropriate to a particular wrist size. It's a new subject explore over many videos.
Brilliant idea! Bring in a guy with an 8 inch wrist (for example) to model different watches. This would be very helpful. (My wrist is 8.25 and I MUST try a watch on in person to know if it will actually work for me.)
This! Exactly this. Too many reviewers have tiny wrists. I'm 6'3" 225lbs, 8" wrist. Every single 36mm glory review makes me want to find the biggest Alpina equivalent. Where's the middle ground? We need better representation for larger wrists (preferably from bone structure and not obesity)
I have the IWC Mark XX. Beautiful watch that is both flashy and subdued. I changed the leather strap to IWC fabric strap. It allows me to use it for any occasion without saying "look at my watch" but if one would notice, they would appreciate it :)
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from amzwatch and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
I am so happy Eddie finally mentioned Breguet tradition, he tends to only showcase boring clean dial watches that all look the same, glad he finally showcased some less traditional (pun) dial watches
It would be so awesome to see you do a video where you take a watch at 2 stages in its life (ex. The Rolex air king, 2016 vs. the Rolex air king, 2022) and point the different design changes - the addition of crown guards and the 0 in front of the 5 minute mark as an example - I am interested to see how the design/idea progresses through time and would love your take on it. It would be like an interactive game for viewers too by showing 2 images of a watch and we can see how many changes we can point out along with you. Differences in polishing or in design elements. Just an idea for a different kind of video I’ve never seen before. Thanks for all your content I love it.
5712 could be my one watch collection. Worn with a suit to court, in the backyard while grilling, on a Sunday drive…maybe other than with a tuxedo but as I’ve come to learn true tuxedo attire means no watch at all…guess I’ll need a pocket watch for those occasions 😅
"It's one of the most underrated brand in the industry" I'm happy that in this video you mentioned even my "Frederique Constant Classic Index" that I'm so glad to own. I've been thinking for quite a while to buy it and finally I made the step in March. 😊
I bought a 116710LN about a month ago. My first Rolex to celebrate my most pivotal year in the last decade. It's such a universally wearable colorway used in a refined design, and its black bezel really tones the watch down a notch, allowing it to fly slightly under the radar. The GMT Master II is a great size for a sports watch but might be rather hefty for a daily driver for a lot of people. I was wearing a Longines Master Collection daily for over a year before the Rolex. I'm about 5'10", 85kg with a wrist size of 18cm. Even at my size, the wearing experience is night and day. The Rolex is substantially more robust, for the lack of a better term, and the weight really took some getting used to.
May I recommend humbly also: Grand Seiko Rikka SBGH271, amazing, to die for Zelos Mako v3 (if you can find one online) Orient Star Open Heart Moonphase (I have the blue one on bracelet with the wavy water dial texture) Seiko SBEC005 is also great but somewhat thick. Limited edition so will be harder to find but worth it.
I would love a video like this in 42mm or 44mm. I know smaller watches are becoming more and more popular but a lot of the watch lovers forget about us big guys where even a 40mm looks like a 36mm.
Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from MaMaCoo I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.

recently got a GS SBGH295 soko frost as my first luxury piece, saw it in person and immediately knew it was the one for me bc i stopped looking at the other pieces in the boutique 😂😂 really happy w my purchase and i'll probably be wearing it for a very long time 🎉🎉🎉
A little bummed the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf didn't get a mention. While I can't say I would consider it as an every day wear watch, the pink/white GMT bezel is absolute a conversation starter. I'm glad Zodiac is willing to make a watch that stands out from the crowd.
Hi Tessy love the video…. Love the content!! The grand Seiko you mention in the 44GS SBGP005 was pictured with a SBGP013. It maybe possible for you to change…. Either way both 40mm and great 9F moments with the 9F85!! Great video and my preferred case size, all mine are 40mm!!
Hey Teddy you should see if you can get a tour of the Bugatti Tourbillon. There's a reason why it's called that. The gauge cluster mechanism is actually developed by Concepto!
Great review, thank you for this one. Happy to see Ball and Hamilton mentioned here as I have a personal connection to both. I believe Webb C. Ball did have some connection to Hamilton at some point.
Ball never produced their own pocket watches. Elgin, Hamilton, and Waltham made watches for Ball. I have two Elgin Ball watches. Both are 18 size. One has 19 jewels, and the other has 21 jewels. Each dates back to the beginning of the 20th century.
The VC 1921 is a very deceiving size due to its “cushion” case design. Although, the 36mm is showcased as a “ladies” watch in its online website advertising, it’s suitable for smaller wrist gentlemen as well due to its unique case shape. Plus you get the dark brown calf skin strap included as a secondary bracelet vs the reddish hue strap that’s included with the 40mm variant
Hi Teddy, maybe you could do a video about thin automatic and hand-winding watches... Nomos seems to be the only brand that can build a watch under 1cm thickness... N Thanks for your videos!
I'd throw in the Zenith Pilot type 20, excellent legibility, flat caseback and aged finish make this a very comfortable daily driver that doesn't shout "look at me"
Mido Big Date in blue or with the orange rubber strap, IWC Mark XX, Breitling B09 Pistachio and Speedmaster 57 in red are some of the watches on your list I hope to (realistically) be able to pick up in the next few years. I actually almost purchased the Speedmaster 57 last month but went for a Panerai Luminor Due instead. Why? I've never owned a Panerai but have 4 Omegas already.
Teddy, was a bit surprised not to see a couple of high qulaity time Pieces like the Charlie Paris Concordia GMT (under 2k) and the Jack Mason Stratotimer (under 1k) on your list here. Some nice timepieces here, but these two find far more time on my wrist than I had anticipated and the CP has some features I think are not only super classy and refined but should be "copied" by others. Cheers and thanks for the content!
The older i get the more i like a 37.5 to 40mm..... Some of my 42's look like a dinner plate on my wrist 😂
biggest advice to you, wear any G-shocks for 3 months, your 42mm will feel like a tiny dot on your wrist and just a layer of skin on how thin they'll feel.
I myself am starting to appreciate smaller sized watches. I say this while wearing my G Shock Rangeman GPR 1000 lol.
I’ve a 6.5” wrist and feel 40mm is too big for a dress watch. Some of the shots in this video reconfirmed this for me.
I think the craze of big sports watches is that, a craze. Sure, big watches will always have their place due to legibility and durability, but like most things in the watch world, they are not necessary for telling the time. Therefore it comes and goes like the tide.
36 mm ideal
The Grand Seiko four seasons is such an incredible collection. The hi beat is gorgeous!!!
I have yet to purchase a GS although they are stunning. The lack of lume is a problem
Agreed, but soon someone will comment on GS bracelets! It’s like Pavlov’s dogs!
@@grammarboy1318 lol, I would remove the bracelet and replace with a leather, rubber, etc strap anyway
@@racebannon2332 Like a dress watch, you could think of it as your day watch. I find the fact that the hour and minute hands are very similar to be more of an issue than the lack of lume.
@@racebannon2332 If the bracelet fits, it is great.
After a year of saving and much thought, I finally acquired a Mark XX on the stainless bracelet and I can honestly say it’s my favorite watch I’ve ever owned.
Mark XV is better.
What color dial?
@@joereagan6612 I went with the blue dial.
@@joereagan6612 Blue
Brilliant video Teddy, always finding a way to cover so many different brands and models. Love this type of series. Thanks for the exposure to watches across the board here!
Honestly the Bulova was super impressive. For some reason I can’t seem to get into them, but that watch definitely intrigued me.
Seiko cocktail Time's are so nice, except for the mineral crystals...
Agreed. I have two and one is so banged up as it was my daily and scratched on a brick wall unlocking the door to a new house I was in and unfamiliar with 😢
I guess that Tsuyosa pronunciation is gonna be a running gag 😂
...You mean the "TEEyosa"?🤣
@@TheLurkmeister nah obviously it's the Toyota 🤣
LONG-gines aswell
Po-tay-toes
More bothered by glasshute oreginal
The Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar with the green dial looks sooo good. For me it is the best lookin watch in this video.
green dial ? 🙅♂
The white dial accentuates the zero space, but they are all gorgeous.
Great video. This is the size I am poking around at for my first automatic watch. Most of these are way out of my budget, but it’s still awesome to hear TB’s take on these.

That MIDO is gorgeous! date windows are seldom done rite but they have nailed that.

Ball Engineer III Marvelight with Ice Blue dial is phenomenal
too thick

We’re so back
How back are we?
@@RichMitch So back.

In black?
Way back
My sweet spot is 38-40mm, with my 16.5 in wrist. I'm happy some of the larger cases have come out is smaller cases as well.
16.5 inch wrist?! Your wrist is bigger than my thigh. Are you a Frost Giant?
@@turbohusque 🤣 6.5

Frederique Constant is a under rated watch brand

Teddy, thank you very much for showing larger case sizes for us big guys!!!
10 years ago, after much deliberation, I bought a Khaki King as my one everyday watch. I was so naive. But I still have it and love it!
I came here for the Panomaticlunar and was not disappointed. It’s going to be my next watch and it’ll be with the green dial!

GS SBGA413 Shunbun
IWC Pilot Mark XX.
Have both, they’re fantastic. And if you made me pick, I’d say both.
May I recommend humbly also:
Grand Seiko Rikka SBGH271, amazing, to die for
Zelos Mako v3 (if you can find one online)
Orient Star Open Heart Moonphase (I have the blue one on bracelet with the wavy water dial texture)
Seiko SBEC005 is also great but somewhat thick. Limited edition so will be harder to find but worth it.

Thank you for making high quality videos!Love amzwatch ’s watches
Outstanding video.I have to go with the MAMACOO, especially with that green dial as my favorite
The ice blue tissot gentelmen is a must
I have this JLC. And I find its proportions simply perfect
Wow, that Glasshütte with the white dial is a surprise, I really like that.
Nice job, as always sir.
Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from MaMaCoo I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.
isn’t the Vacheron style called “driver’s watch?” So when your hand is on steering wheel 9-10 o’clock position, the dial 12 position is straight up

Hey Teddy, you forget the SLA043 and SLA037. Two legendary pieces
A little bummed the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf didn't get a mention. While I can't say I would consider it as an every day wear watch, the pink/white GMT bezel is absolute a conversation starter. I'm glad Zodiac is willing to make a watch that stands out from the crowd.
One of the juiciest videos ever. Amazing pieces that suit my style so well.
40mm is such a great size.. masculine but elegant at the same time
40mm is also quite wearable by many women. It's my favourite size. I have a 6.75" wrist.
I have a large 8.5inch wrist so i tend to stick to this sort of size for the most part. Good video! Will there be a video for another size up too?
My most worn watch is the IWC Petit Price 43mm. Unfortunately, I can't do anything with this "make everything smaller" trend.
Wonderful, Teddy! Thanks so much. I would love to make it to your store someday and meet you!
I like dress watches that are 36-38, and dive watches that are 40-42. One of my favorite dress watches is my Rolex Air KIng 34mm.
Interestingly my 9F quartz gets tons of wrist time. Glad to see you mention these as they get no love…
Teddy is right onto the 40mm sweet spot! Nice one!
Would you still recommand gerting the jlc master control calender chronograph eventhough they increased the price a lot?
amzwatch I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter
Hi Tessy love the video…. Love the content!!
The grand Seiko you mention in the 44GS SBGP005 was pictured with a SBGP013. It maybe possible for you to change….
Either way both 40mm and great 9F moments with the 9F85!!

Up at 5 am, just getting back home from work, and I have a video from Teddy to watch with a Diet Coke in my hand. Life’s good.
No exceptions to the rule?
The Rolex explorer 40 is actually a 39mm diameter watch.
Nice job as always Teddy! I'll take the Omega Speedmaster '57!
WOW! Thanks, Teddy.
Is there any other videos like that from other case sizes?
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GMT Rattrapante and the Minute Rattrapante would have been interesting inclusions
Hey Teddy you should see if you can get a tour of the Bugatti Tourbillon. There's a reason why it's called that. The gauge cluster mechanism is actually developed by Concepto!
Interesting selection. Also , very well lit!
Trust me, when you pick up a Ball watch, you will be very impressed, feels atleast 2k mor expensive than its retail price in the hand
Excellent video Teddy❤
Bulova got me stunned
Excellent presentation

Wow, I'm impressed by the Frederique Constant Classics Index at $1,095 (7:55).
What a presentation!!!Once again!!!Thanks Teddy… 💪👍👏
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Mido do the TV design language before the Aquanaut? By a few years I think.
I like wearing 39-42 with 40 being my favorite. 7 inch wrist
Finally!!! Been waiting for this for so long
Why is STOWA never mentioned in any list?
another great watch video
Any love for the Railmaster?
They look killer especially on their respective denim straps.
Hi Teddy, maybe you could do a video about thin automatic and hand-winding watches... Nomos seems to be the only brand that can build a watch under 1cm thickness... N
Thanks for your videos!
Great video,but could you do a video on 39mm case watches 👍
When it comes to fine imitation watches, amzwatch delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.
GREAT VIDEO!!!
Great video as always, but not a fan of the linen shirt with jacket combination.
I'd throw in the Zenith Pilot type 20, excellent legibility, flat caseback and aged finish make this a very comfortable daily driver that doesn't shout "look at me"
I really enjoy this series!

6.75” wrist here…40mm case for divers, 39-36 for everything else 👌
Omega Deville is a great watch the best value omega
If you liked the oris omega just released a similar watch in the Deville range
Would like to hear about JPM brands like Kurono Tokyo by Hajime Asaoka
that chronomat gmt from breitling is one of the coolest watches in this list... and especially this white dial 🤩
I agree..it's a beautiful design
AMZWATCH is a must for me as a watch collector
Absolutely nobody talks about Alpina watches, at least FC was mentioned
Can you do a 37-39mm lineup? Unless you already have….😀
Could you review the mido tv big date?
Been putting some serious thought in picking one of these up

I feel like he has at some point, maybe not in a dedicated video. He loves it though, and specifically the way the date changes
