@@itztimmy9900 trust me, not all watch sale staff are this knowledgeable - this guy clearly has a passion, knows his history of each piece and even knows the references off by heart including features. Very impressive. Sure he gets a commission but its probably less than 10% per watch.
Yeah real salespeople know what they are selling and do get commission for what they sell. Especially when selling a watch, you HAVE to know what you're talking about
I appreciate that the salesman truly gives his real opinion, even when it is contrast with Teddy. Also regarding the sales associate, he knows his watches as well as the aesthetics with watches. A very solid guy and no yes man! Perfect...
Outstanding salesman. No pushing, listening, agrees with Teddy each snd every time. Offers information only when Ted is waffling, then stands behind whatever decision TB mskes.
Hyde Park in Denver is a next level shopping experience. they have a separate rooms that are a connected rolex boutique, breitling boutique and omega boutique
John is an excellent salesman and an incredible resource. I work over in the Omega and Breitling boutiques at Hyde Park in the Cherry Creek Mall. Would definitely recommend giving us a call should you have any questions or have an idea of a timepiece you’d like to see about ordering!
I liked that the sales associate was into the process, encouraging, and very knowledgeable. Next time I am in Denver will have to check them out. Great video!
Mostly great people, but avoid Hyde Park's Rolex boutique. They epitomize all the worst things you've heard about Rolex dealers, rude, self important, unwilling to help. Stick to the main room shown here.
John at Hyde Park is an absolutely awesome guy. Last time I went in there to browse watches, he offered to clean up my wife's wedding ring. He really knows his stuff and if anyone is ever in Denver, go see John at Hyde Park.
I normally spend anywhere from about $250-$400 on a Watch. I would love to see you do a similar video where you build a diversified collection...but with a $2,000 budget instead.
I was just in their store today looking at watches with John, he is an awesome salesman and the passion he has for watches really shows through. It's truly refreshing working with a salesman that knows what they are talking about and can "geek out" on the details of a watch with you. Still making up my mind on which watch to get, but I definitely know who I'll be buying it from!
You know as a grad student i can only dream of seeing most of these in person, I appreciate you doing these vids! Window shopping with you is pretty fun !
I may never be able to walk into an AD and do a heck of a splurge like this but boy was that loads of fun to watch! Kudos to the fantastic salesguy too. Thanks for sharing the experience. ❤️
@@mkyhou1160 other than Rolex and perhaps Omega (a bit of a stretch), which luxury brands are not a mistake to buy new? It's really a mistake if you plan on recouping on that capital.
@@Tourtiere34 I think it pays to be smart, people fall out of love with watches, or they lose their income or similar. The only time it might make sense to buy a JLC new that I can think of is if there is a big discount and the AD also sells Rolex (or Patek / AP) and promises you a rare steel sports that trades for a premium in return.
@Unknown dude if you aren’t a hoarder and only buy watches to wear, you have to sell from time to time when you want to upgrade or aren’t feeling the love. I never own more than two to three watches, so every time I buy I sell one, it has to be an upgrade. I’m always also conscious life can throw a curve ball, I’m not a trust fund baby. Buying used is simply smart if you know a watch goes down more than AD discounts, which is the case new JLCs (or the Zenith El Primero I got second hand in mint condition), there is no new car smell with a watch.
I love these $30k in 30 mins vids. This collection was a lot more elegant than the last I think but both were awesome. The Seamaster wave dial is just a work of art. You really did this well and got some awesome pieces.
I have to say, at EVERY turn while you were deliberating over your choices today I was mumbling things like “...get the one with the patina, get the one with the patina..” and then you would chose it! Every selection was fantastic, but even if we were to disagree at all, your “speed shopping” concept is absolutely captivating. You’re truly an intelligent, knowledgeable, eloquent person whose passion for the subject just draws us in. Thank you very much for such an amazing channel.
Conversely walk into a Rolex AD with the same intentions and be told "okay, so we'll see you in 2-10 years sir". Excellent choices all around though, you absolutely made the right choice on the Seamaster (you can always go back for the Speedy later!) and the JLC is just beautiful.
Teddy, you are so knowledgeable that it's a pleasure to hear you talk. And, I only like watches to an extent, but you've made me appreciate them much more.
A couple of questions Teddy 1) do the stores know that you are coming in a head of time and why (i.e. what you will be doing), 2) do you actually spend $30k in the stores you go to or is it just a 'what you could get for $30k'?
Ah, snap I have a Tissot Seastar which my mum gave to my dad in 1970. It serves as a poignant reminder as my mum, who has dementia, no longer remembers such things.
Such an entertaining, informative video. Your host was an absolute gentleman and obviously wholly passionate about timepieces. Teddy, I hope you’ll continue to make this style of video for years and years to come. 10/10👏🏼👏🏼
Imagine you got 30k to spend on watches secretly but only have 30 minutes before your wife comes out of Hermes shop, these constraints totally makes sense to me😆
I have that SBGA407 Skyflake,. Beautiful case and dail, and that mesmerizing seconds hand sweep of the Springdrive movement.. That Tissot Seastar was a winner at the end...
Great buys, I have the Omega and wow I smiled when I saw the last buy, I bought a Seastar a couple of months ago and as you said, it’s incredible so thanks for a great video and choice watches sir.
That ended up as a great collection. The IWC spitfire made me check out that piece. Bronze really makes it stand out. Plus the JJ master controller and that Seastar stealing the show. Only thing I'd change is the Omega to a different dial. Man, I gotta get 30000.. haha.
😆 for sure! I believe the full price had a 10 % discount! To say the least! All stores make these deals Mr Teddy , if I went to your store and spent 30K i’ll ask for a discount for sure ! 😎😆
Perfect timing on this video. I just purchased an SBGA413 from this exact boutique in Denver (new resident). Great video and fantastic staff here as the other comments indicate.
Love how the story ended. I was in that exact store when I had a target of opportunity in a JLC Reverso Duo Date. Wasn’t expected wasn’t my objective but it happened.
Really enjoyable I forgot the joy of window shopping and going along with you and Kevin in previous videos showed me options I would never consider shopping online lots of these watches look a lot better than they appear on Websites they look even great up close in person.
Wow! I'm not sure I would have made any different choices! Save maybe for the Omega, still need my 1861 speedy moon hesalite. That IWC definitely the most fun, can't wait to see how it patinas!
Salesman reminds me of Tim Mosso from Watchbox. Even sounds like him. Although Tim is a walking watch encyclopedia- not putting anyone above his knowledge- he is like Watch Yoda. Teddy should get them to do a review together!
Honestly this collection comes out way more interesting than the prior, and not just down to the extra five grand in budget. Some super adventurous choices here that I think really pay off well. When your only truly super safe pick is the Seamaster (yes the GS could be classed as safe on the brand level, but there are way safer options WITHIN GS) I think you've smashed it. That IWC has me feeling things on a spiritual level
I love this series of watch shopping keeping a budget in mind. Can you do a shopping video within a $2000 budget finding 3 watches?? Preowned watches are welcome as well. I'm starting to collect and my wife just got me the Seiko 5 SRPG37 for my 30th birthday coming up on June 12.
Hey Everyone, thanks for watching. What do you think of my collection?
I have a Seiko 6139 6007 and I am going to do a video later today on TH-cam.
Fantastic and wish I had it 😂
Great choices but I would have picked the speedmaster 😂
Fantastic choices! My favorite was the IWC! What a Beautiful Watch that is!!!!
Oh my god, right past Tudor, right past Panerai. Jesus, man! 😄
That salesman deserves a raise - he knows his stuff and tells it like it is.
Pretty sure he probably makes commission (Not sure, just how most sales jobs work)

I didn't hear him contradict Teddy a single time lol, still a great salesman though, very knowledgeable.
I trust his ponytail.

You know as a grad student i can only dream of seeing most of these in person, I appreciate you doing these vids! Window shopping with you is pretty fun !
That Ball, though, strong dial design with long indices and the design of bracelet link also very attractive.
And would have had money left for a Casio Oceanus.
It is a gorgeous watch indeed. Ball needs more credit.
That JLC is keeping me up at night; what a beauty!

Love the salesman’s soothing, reassuring tone of voice. He also really knows his stuff.
Greetings from Italy! Awesome watches and original taste! That GS dial melts my heart.
So cool to have a 1970s Tissot Seastar! Vintage purchase in a collection is always an emotional connection, Great Finish!
That Tissot is seriously cool! Arguably best bang for buck imo
Great surprise at the end with that Seastar. The bronze IWC is my favorite and the green dial you didn’t choose.
