Persona 9: the quarantine collector who gets all dressed with nowhere to go so he buys watches that Teddy shows and tries them on and models them at home then sells them on ebay for a loss.
Teddy, never apologize for the length of an excellent video. I believe most everyone appreciates the work that has to go into these type of videos. Keep up the good work!
@@adaptivekalman yeah I agree this watch should be worth around $20,000 because of how good the quality is but grand Seiko is nice enough to sell it for a fourth of that price
Got a hamilton khaki auto. Being in the military, I've worn this watch out in the field, at the shooting range, and on the weekends with a t-shirt, jeans and boots. I love this watch.
I too am in the military, but favor the skx007 on an olive NATO for my field watch. Gets a lot of nods, both compliments and negatives from some salty Sergeants who think it is too “shiny”. Jealousy I say!
@@dparis2172 negative, the order says green khaki or black or anything inconspicuous. The steel case is the same gloss as dog tags which people commonly wear on the outside of their boots. Also, Vietnam GI’s wore dive watches all the time in enemy territory. That’s what I tell them and they have nothing left to say and I carry on with my watch still on
Had 1500 EUR and wanted to have the best value collection for any occasion. Went for: Seiko SARB 033 Seiko SARB 017 Hamilton Khaki King H64455533 Tissot Heritage Visodate Automatic T019.430.16.031.01 One watch collection would be: Omega Aqua Terra 150M
Personally, once you start getting into watches made by Tudor etc., anything over $3k, you are better off saving up some more and buying a Rolex or Breitling. You won’t be happy for long when you spend thousands on a watch that you wear once and is not worth 50% of Retail or maybe even less.

honestly, Teddy, this is some of THE most relatable watch content for young professionals: $1000 well-made watches with history and great movements. not cheap microbrands, but no omegas/zeniths either. there is a LOT in the $800-1800 range especially with gray market and you are really hitting all the best watches that most of us can afford, at least a couple of. GREAT vid Teddy, thank you!!
Even 2 years later, I can firmly say I completely agree with this comment. Lots of prices have inflated over the past couple of years, but these videos remain a great resource.
Here's my plan, buy a Tissot PRX quartz (350e) as my first watch. Then save money to buy a nice Omega or Rolex in the range of 4-10k euro. Because I just don't see the point in wasting money buying models for 650-2000 euro. Might as well buy a really really cheap watch and save up. A 500-2000 watch is nothing to boast about anyway, it wont get you any really nice watches and it wont increase in value most of the time. So I'm going to buy the Tissot PRX because even though I can afford buying a Rolex or Omega now, it's not economically wise as I don't have enough excess money to justify such a huge spending. The money I have is better invested in business ventures as of now. But in the future I dream of a nice Patek, Omega or Rolex. In the ranges of 4-25k euro. Buying the Tessot because imo they are the most respectable watches in that price range. Mostly buying one because I think a watch is an accessory that demonstrates value in men. A majority of women usually find it to be a quite attractive piece of fashion. Odds are when I finally have enough excess money to justify buying such a expensive watch, I will still be as frugal and careful with my money as I am today. They're nice to look at and admire, but quite scary to buy. Think I might try to flip some more expensive models though, need to learn more about the watch game first though.

Dress - Tudor 1926 opaline 39mm ,$1500. Chrono - Hamilton Intramatic Chronograph Blue 40mm , $1400 . Diver - Diver - Seiko sbdc101/spb143 Gray 40mm , $1200. Im $100 over but I think this would be a stellar 3 piece collection for around 4k .
Awesome video Teddy! You picked some great watches for these categories, most of which I wouldn’t have even though of. Except the Tudor Black Bay 58 (That what seems to make every list haha).
My suggestion for the dress watch persona in the $3000-$4000 range: 1. Oris Pointer Date (bronze w/ green dial is my personal fav) - dressy enough for a suit but also works as an every day watch, looks beautiful and adds a splash of color to the collection. 2. Max Bill (white dial w/ black leather strap) - light-colored option that looks so clean and the white dial with dark strap makes a nice contrast. 3. Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 (black or blue dial on bracelet) - bracelet and dark-dial option with an 80 hour power reserve at a great price, I personally think bracelets look best with a darker dial and this watch offers great value for the money.
Hey T-dawg! I'm recently obsessed with the zenith el primero shadow. Should I buy it or wait 3 years until its half price like I would assume is happening with the watches from zenith. Looking forward to your appreciated opinion.
Great stuff as usual, Mr. Teddy!! Coincidentally, I recently saw IN PERSON a friend of mine’s Rolex AirKing....man and is it beautiful!! And I was not a fan of that specific model. Definitely different when you see some of these watches in person!!
The Conquest 39mm is SO underappreciated! Pictures doesn't do it justice at all, it's stunning in real life, such great specs and beautiful to look at, it's my favorite watch (blue dial) to wear daily and feel most comfortable with, among much more expensive pieces in my collection!
Really enjoyed this video Teddy. Please keep doing these. I learn about brands I had never heard of before, and I'd rather learn about them from reputable and knowledgeable sources.
@@StuntpilootStef to hear a reviewers opinion of course. I'm good with the watches I have, but to many watch reviews I see stay in the 40 and under range. I'd like to see more options for thicker wrists.
26:55 this is so true. As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, no one actually gives a rats ass about our collections other than the occasional enthusiast. xD

Type 15: movement collector. I have Spring Drive, manual wind chrono, manual wind three hander, autos, solars, atomic, 262khz, High Accuracy Quartz, regular quartz. Have to find a Kinetic that’s not total garbage and I’m there lol
One watch collection. 1.IWC xviii. Can do it all. GADA 2.Omega Aqua-Terra. GADA 3.GS SBGR309. GADA, Japanese style. Two watch collection. 1.Brietling Superocean 42. Best diver for the price on the market. Tudor 1926. 2.Brietling Superocean. Yes again. Tag Heuer Carrera day date. Very underrated. GADA for a great price. 3.Any Nomos Oris aquis
I was avoiding the Seiko Turtle for years because I thought it was too big. I made the plunge and got a King Turtle. It is one of the most comfortable watches I’ve ever warn. (Even if the stock bracelet is trash) it’s getting a strapcode soon 😜
Amazing video! I am a 3 watch guy on a low budget(under 3k), have Seiko SRPE43J1 as my dress watch now. My eye is on the Tudor 1926 now. It looks beautiful! Or Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80! Thanks for such detailed videos of watch collections 1 could have.
Persona 1 Divers: Orient Kamasu 42mm $300 Field watch: Hamilton Field Khaki Automatic 38mm $575 Dress watch: Tudor Royal (Asia exclusive) 41mm $2,200 Total: $3,075 only

Boggles my mind as to why the Tudor doesn't have a lumed bezel... That's way too much money for a cheapo anodized aluminum bezel... It should have a lined sapphire or ceramic bezel insert....
As a member of the "dying breed", completely agree with your suggestion of Nomos (I went with the Orion and haven't regretted it one bit). For those of an even more dying breed, I would suggest vintage Longines and Universal Geneve.
@@TeddyBaldassarre Absolutely, sometimes you get lucky and can get a nice deal; a nice collection of straps also helps to accessorize with different outfits. Great video!
Detailed? Superficial, opinionated. Tell us something about the company and craftmanship. Don't bother watchng this video. Just get out there and get something that catches your eye. That's what he's "Selling".
I think 20K is reasonable. You get watches you won’t see other people wear. And you got something different then the rest. Off course you can buy 2 or 3 50K or higher watches. But 20K is a nice median. Just like buying a real cheap car.

Never, ever buy a watch with an integrated/proprietary bracelet/band. You're just asking to get screwed by the manufacturer when you decide to change the strap or completely fucked when something breaks.
Other than Grand Seiko I completely hate the S word. Buy Orient instead. I will never understand why horologists are infatuated with this banal crap. Good video though. Thank you
well... 80% of the watches are trash tbh But I like the concept of this video and the thoughts you have made yourself on what type of audience youre talking about. Keep going!
Something to consider would be to put time stamps for each category of collector. I've seen a number of youtubers starting to do that right in the video progress bar.
Love the Longines Flagship heritage, I really think they have there one of the most beautiful clasic dress watches. Maybe I would also give a mother of pearl dial option if I was longines, but those are beautiful, both the black face and the champagne dial
I love your channel but I feel like you’re always showing the same watches and I am not discovering new models, new brands, etc. It’d be amazing if you could venture outside of your usual watch preference zone and show us new things, even watches that you might not like personally from an aesthetics point of view but have great movement and are appreciated among watch amateurs
I just got interested in watches again and Teddy is sucking me back with a vengence. I'm watching 3 or more of the reviews a day. Really driving me crazy. Not helping me decide if I want to get several watches or one expensive to me watch.
Persona: Stat geek - Someone that only cares about the stats. a) deepest water rating. b) most accurate movement. c) most time zones at once. d) most durable. e) thinnest/smallest or largest case possible. f) oldest model still available for sale. g) newest tech available (ceramic/titanium/etc).
Teddy, Not even one gold/gold tone dress watch? Your killing me. Your conversation starters were unexpected as well. I would expect a tourbillion, skeleton watch or some sort of gimmick. Those choices wouldn't cause me to start a conversation or at least not a nice one.
disagree with the Orient Defender wearing small...it wears big IMHO...the case is 42mm, and the actual dial is farily large itself as the bezel is thin. It may be the biggest watch face in my collection.
Why would anyone own something under 45 mm?. I don't get it. It feels like I'm wearing a toonie on my wrist. Also is there any other oversized brands other than invicta?
Teddy has been promoting those same brand watches over and aver again more or less getting tired it. I'm a Ball collector watches and forgive me if I was wrong never seen once a video promoting its goodness.. Except omega, Tudor dress watches, beater etc...
Persona #9 The guy who buys dive watches to surf and dive and uses them like a tool watch. Doesn't mind spending big money to get a watch that won't fail when you're really relying on a dive watch to do what it was actually built to do. Scratches and wear are honestly earned and only increase value. Parts can always be replaced when serviced.
Teddy, I'm a guy so fascinated by watches, that I find it difficult to settle on any watch I want to buy because of all the others out there. It occurs to me the perfect solution would be for someone to set up a watch rental company. Now maybe someone has has already created this and I'm unaware of it. I'd be interested in finding out from anyone.

It's an amazing watch,the spring drive,dial and finish are mesmerizing.
@@adaptivekalman yeah I agree this watch should be worth around $20,000 because of how good the quality is but grand Seiko is nice enough to sell it for a fourth of that price
Dial is amazing for sure, but not wild about the case. And would be better in stainless steel imo

Teddy touches on this, it's a bit more expensive at retail.

Man, I like that GS for 4K! I didn’t know you can get into one for that price.
You sure did a lot of work putting this together. Didn’t realize there are so many watches under 40 mm. Great job

Yeah chronographs get tough given their price if you are going mechanical. We will see them more in the next episode for sure!

Teddy, Not even one gold/gold tone dress watch? Your killing me. Your conversation starters were unexpected as well. I would expect a tourbillion, skeleton watch or some sort of gimmick. Those choices wouldn't cause me to start a conversation or at least not a nice one.
disagree with the Orient Defender wearing small...it wears big IMHO...the case is 42mm, and the actual dial is farily large itself as the bezel is thin. It may be the biggest watch face in my collection.
Why would anyone own something under 45 mm?. I don't get it. It feels like I'm wearing a toonie on my wrist. Also is there any other oversized brands other than invicta?
You're all over the place thinking if you talk about everything under the sun it'll show you as knowledgeable watchatier.
Get a day job kid!
Teddy has been promoting those same brand watches over and aver again more or less getting tired it.
I'm a Ball collector watches and forgive me if I was wrong never seen once a video promoting its goodness.. Except omega, Tudor dress watches, beater etc...
Persona #9 The guy who buys dive watches to surf and dive and uses them like a tool watch. Doesn't mind spending big money to get a watch that won't fail when you're really relying on a dive watch to do what it was actually built to do. Scratches and wear are honestly earned and only increase value. Parts can always be replaced when serviced.
I love my Nivada Grenchen Chronmaster mechanical broad arrow
Just getting into watches seriously and this channel is amazing. Thanks
Just buy a few diff Seikos, the new field watch, the cocktail time, whatever diver you like. Maybe add a chrono. job done.
Really interesting and cool choices here. Love the boutique makers like Brew. Cool content bro!:)
Seems like every micro brand under $1000 they all have a NH movement in there. Solid movement nothing bad to say just everyone is using them.
Are we going pay thousands for a watch that just bloody telling time in 2020? Seriously?
Teddy, I'm a guy so fascinated by watches, that I find it difficult to settle on any watch I want to buy because of all the others out there. It occurs to me the perfect solution would be for someone to set up a watch rental company. Now maybe someone has has already created this and I'm unaware of it. I'd be interested in finding out from anyone.
Would like to see choices for bigger wrists
