      Wrong.
      Tag gave free watches to women and made men pay a high price for theirs.
      Tag lost a lot of customers with that stupid move.
      They're never buying a watch from them ever or again.

    Actually, my watch collection consists mostly of watches that were gifts to me as commemoration of a specific life event. My first watch was from my grandfather when I achieved straight A's on my report card. I manual wind Seiko. I still have it today, though it runs about 5 minutes fast everyday. My latest watch of note is a Tissot pre-1990 Seastar that my wife's grandfather gave me as a wedding gift when I married 34 years ago. I still wear it today as my wedding band no longer fits. My dad recently handed down my great grand-father's railroad pocket watch to me. My dad had it serviced before giving it to me and it is deadly accurate. My next watch, which I am taking a l-o-n-g time looking for is my retirement watch. Thanks for your videos, Teddy. It is a great education on watch collecting, as I have never thought of my watch collection as a collection, or hobby. I'm just sentimental and hate ridding myself of things of importance to me.

    • @willmansfield6532
      @willmansfield6532 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Same with me. While I don’t own many watches (6 at the moment), almost all came to me as gifts or inheritances - my grandfather’s 1915 Waltham RR pocket watch, my uncle’s 1987 Rolex Datejust, 1955 IWC SS, 1966 Omega 18k Seamaster, and my dad’s 1940’s Bulova tank. I love them all, and think of the people who owned them originally whenever I put one on.

  • @outdawrzmuhn
    @outdawrzmuhn 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I’m glad you pointed out the fact that you have to like the look of a watch first. There are some watches out there by big name brands that I’ve been tempted to buy, but I didn’t actually like what they look like. Just liked the name cache. Sometimes I have to sit back and say “would I like the look of this if it was an Invicta?” or some other random low tier brand.

    The Swatch group can do this with their brands like WWE does it with wrestlers. You have someone be the bad guy for a while, then they are assigned the role of good guy and get a special following. In watches this is done with the lowest relative quality, lume, AR, movements, then you elevate them, sprinkle in some nod to their heritage and it becomes something special.... for a while.

    Before I took the deep dive into watch collecting (which was not that long ago)… “Seiko” and “Timex” were interchangeable in my mind. But after learning more about Seiko and its innovation, history, and quality, I’ve become a huge fan of it and especially Grand Seiko. I recently bought a Seiko SPS001, mostly for its historical significance, but also because I LOVE its look. Taking your advice now on which Grand Seiko to add to the collection… researching and waiting until I figure out exactly which one is the right one for me. Greatly appreciate you sharing your love of this hobby, and the great advice you have for those of us newer to this. 🍻

    Thanks Teddy! Love your work. GS SLGH005 is the best overall watch of the brand and my personal favorite along with the “Snowflake”. I think Grand Seiko has the potential to go mainstream really soon based on their unbeatable quality. However they should, much like Rolex, introduce more structure in their lineup and emphasize on marketing done right. After all the brand has the cache of innovation, quality and manufacturing ability to be on a level higher than Rolex.

    Thanks Teddy. I wanted to throw out Zodiac as well as a brand that I think will become more noticeable… they have the heritage and history that watch enthusiasts respect, couple with the fact that they are releasing limited releases that pull from and improve upon their older models. The incredible colors and classic designs of the Seawolf I think are just great. Plus the 40mm size on most of their watches wear great on every wrist size. Finally at south of 2Gs they are attainable for most collectors. 😊

    • @SuLu_B
      @SuLu_B 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think Zodiac has major QC issues for their retail price point. I've purchased 3 Zodiac watches, still own 2 of them, and all 3 have small flaws that should not be present on a watch with a retail price of $1300+. I'm talking applied indices not aligning with the lume markers (noticeable with the naked eye from a typical viewing distance), diving bezels being misaligned by half a degree or more, and the STP 1-11 movements being a piece of ass to interact with. I purchased all of mine for nearly half of retail price but I still had to sell the one with the fucked indices and bezel. I love their designs and history but they need to really step it up if they want to be taken seriously outside of super niche Zodiac fans.

    • @PostBakka
      @PostBakka 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@SuLu_B that’s terrible. Not the experience I have had with Zodiac. I have the Crystal Toppers Edition Seawolf GMT. Too me, it’s a nearly flawless watch, especially at the price point. I paid about 1300 for it. No misalignment issues, no issues with loom. Can dress it up or dress it down. It’s not a “true” GMT but still does the trick. But I hear you, need to have more consistency across the board if you are having issues with yours.

      Try this. Not sure if that Tudor BB58 will really be your thing? Buy a decent $250-$350 homage watch with a Seiko movement and wear it for a while. You'll have the basic look and dimensions to play with to see if buying the real watch is worth it. I've done that with a couple watches, and in one case I grew to not care for the shape of the watch, and in the other, I dug the look and feel of the watch so much I ponied up the coin for the real McCoy. And the less expensive homage watches make great gifts/starter watches for sons or nephews just beginning they journey into watches.

    I don't own a Longines but I do find them among the most handsome watches made. They might be a grail watch for me. I have a Hamilton and a PRX, unfortunately I really don't need another watch

      You will see. Just give it couple of months and welcome your Longines 😂

      No one NEEDS another watch. If it's something you're passionate about, you treat yourself over the years. I own a Longines and love it. My dad liked mine so much, he bought one too.

      I sold my Hamilton to supplement the purchase of the Longines Legend Diver. It’s my 3rd favorite behind my grand Seiko and Breitling. I feel like Longines is the brand to move to the next level.

    You need to do a Grand Seiko behind the scenes visit.

    Hope you will get to do a Manufacture Tour at Grand Seiko soon. I'm a huge GS fan and would love to get an inside view of their facilities. I imagine they stand up well, if not better, to many of their Swiss competitors.

    Tag Heuer are interesting because they're a brand who have done arguably the hardest part in being something of a household name, but their actual watches rarely seem to cause much of a stir. If they could revolutionize their lineups like Longines I think they could explode.

      TAG Heuer needs to standardise some of their in-house three hand movements, as well as giving their smaller collections like the Link and Autavia a facelift.
      I know that people think the Connected should burn, but really if they manage to fix the major points concerning connectivity and battery life I think they would hold a stronger position and value in that market, serving as an effective entry-level piece and staple part of the collection.

    As far as a watch tour, I think it would be cool to do a Japan trip and visit Seiko, Citizen, and Casio. One of these days I hope to go to the Seiko museum, I think you touring that would be cool.

    I recently bought a Longines Master Collection moonphase triple date chrono. I love it. Where else can one get a column wheel chrono for the money? As for Tag, they have a tourbillon. Respect.

    If Longines could get out from under Swatch, I really think they could push more upwards and possibly become a more well known brand to non-enthusiasts. I honestly knew about them before I got into watches just from their advertising.

    • @nickthompson7743
      @nickthompson7743 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Swatch has a strategy that has stratified brands into price bands. It’s a reasonable strategy, each brand in the group has to optimise for their position and price range.

    • @josiah566
      @josiah566 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I wonder if that has a lot to do with them trying to push the Mini Dolce Vita with J Law more so than the other killer enthusiast releases like the Zulu Time 39 or HydroCon GMT

      ​@@josiah566You're assuming that Longines only caters to watch enthusiasts like you. Longines markets to the general public too. Their advertising has their watch ambassadors wearing their dressier watches - the types of watches that Longines sells a lot of compared to the recent burst of watches that the watch enthusiasts go for within the bubble they are in.

    • @josiah566
      @josiah566 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@siongheeleong8078 I get where you’re coming from but I’m just suggesting there are ways to take what are normally considered “enthusiast centric” pieces and market them to a wider audience in an authentic way. It doesn’t have to just be the Dolce Vita that gets that kind of treatment. I’m sure a lot of non1enthusiasts too would like the idea of elegantly telling two time zones on their wrist.
      Probably still why I only have mixed feelings towards things like the Moonswatch - great for starting conversations, but prices for collectors are another thing….

      Longines has both great history and present producing high quality watches. Nevertheless, the recent business decision when they raized prices of their watches practically to the Tudor level is in my humble opinion a bad move.
