I recommend upgrading the PRX to the automatic version and you will still be within budget. Too many quartz and digital watches, I had to give it to Teddy.
As a collection, i think you both came out equal. Both collections had 4 watches i would keep, two throw backs, and both were missing the "finer things club" watch, something on nice leather, solid gold and elegant not flashy. For Michael I would have kicked back the Seiko 5 and the Omega Chrono, for Teddy I would have kicked back the Oris and the Longines, all for the same reasons. They seemed to double up on purpose and/or appearance and we are trying to build a collection with limits, so you need to cover as many applications as possible, and i think both collections are missing the watch to wear on a sophisticated, dress up, date night.
Teddy, for this challenge, maybe you should get a 3rd person that you and your competitor have to guess the taste and shop for. 3rd person get to choose what they want to keep or toss. Whoever have the most keep win.
Lovely video. I have to say that Teddy instantly got me with the Oris. Even if this was the only watch he chose, I would still point to him as a winner. That dial is just stunning.
Teddy is the clear winner, no question. The couple picked all quartz watches 🤣. They didn't seem to have any basic opinions on watches @ all. That one guy is a watch collector? I'd bet anything it's nautilus's and rainbow royal oaks. How to waste 12k on a collection😂
Thank you Teddy for that one absolutely brilliant viewing, nice to see the PRX making an appearance. I adore mine, entry level as they are, for the money a fantastic watch.
For a guy who spends a ton on watches and now hearing him get scared going over the budget is the best thing ive heard here. Great episode. In the end we all just want to have cool stuff👌
Teddy's collection all the way. Great variety; great class. Love Michael's Siekos and Tissot, but there was a lot of meh there. $4k on a g-shock is ridiculous. The Railmaster was far nicer than the Speedy, though the Speedy is nice. Why the smart watch??
I like the variety of Producer Michael's (well, Adam Swords picked out a lot of the most daring pieces haha), but Teddy's was a lot more consistent and had just enough diversity and interesting pieces to edge it out. Either way, very fun time!
@icanspelle6050 Probably a distraction while the Gold digging is done. He is another of the inexhaustible supply of parasites that attach themselves to wealthy individuals.
Video suggestion: Several friends of mine have been interested in birth year pieces, particularly for milestone birthdays. We would love to hear your thoughts on the best, most innovative, most impactful to the industry pieces from the decades past (e.g. This year, you might do videos on best of 1982; 1972; 1962 and so on. Next year videos on the best of 1983; 1973; etc) For those celebrating milestone birthdays, it may be helpful to have a reference point. Thanks as always for the great content!
Both great picks the vintage omega is beautiful and the Tudor sterling silver was a great pick. If I was Michael I would’ve put back the G-shock, Mont Blanc and Seiko GMT and grabbed a Tudor black bay chrono instead. But very fun to watch. Great video guys!
Love producer Michael, but that was a clear win for Teddy. I would have gone for a Tudor black bay 58, casioak with metal case, cartier tank, tissot prx and a vintage omega with pie pan dial! What a dream collection that is!
Well it's a Teddy win for sure! Michael, it's time for you to start to learn the entry level watches. So many great luxury automatics from true swiss, Japan, and German brands from $1000- $3500. The amount of watches that take a percentage of the market is surprising. So great to see 2 different worlds combine. Great video guys. Keep these coming!!
Wow! Teddy you keep producing excellent content! I'm so happy to see you showcase Feldmar in BH. I've bought my first watch from them in 1987. Scott and his team are excellent the selection is awesome!
It always amazes me how many Seiko watches are awesome....going through their catalog I could easily put a 100 watch collection together just within their brand...
Michael wins 🏆 with a little help from his wingman Adam. Actually Adam was way more comfortable and knowledgeable than Michael in this entry level watch segment. Kudos to Adam for his seiko 5 sport orange pick Amazing 👏 But teddy's knowledge is unbeatable what a joy listening his opinions. Amazing episode 👏
Three minutes in and I know I am going to love every second of this. You have such a skill for meshing with any type of personality in any situation and making it entertaining for your viewers!
Teddy for the easy win. Oris, Nomos, Tudor and the Zulu time🤯 If that Alpinist was the Gold/Green with the brown strap..it would be one of the best watch collections minus a Rollie!
That was fun. My choice is Teddy, but he works in this price range, to be fair. Feldmar looks great. I haven't been there in years; I remember the older store which was a mishmash of older 60's/70's looking architecture, fittings, etc. Kudos to them for letting them film at their store.
Teddy selection is just gold. So tasteful and elegant. I would love to have the opportunity to have someone that knowledgeable and with a such good taste accompanying me on a watch shop day. Awesome.
Producer Michael and Adam Swords! What a surprise. Didn't expect this one, Teddy. Great video. Goes to show that you can get cool watches at great prices. It looks like it was a real challenge for Michael to choose the watches. Better than dropping down multiple G's for a single watch. Thanks Teddy. Looking forward to more of these videos. Great job!
That was awesome. Love the collaboration. Although your videos with Mr. Wonderful are some of my favorites, this one with Producer Michael was great too! Hope to see more. Also, Producer Michael won for sure. Sorry Teddy.
Did not expect the combination of the MR-G with the vintage Speedmaster. I would tend towards Teddy's collection but I might have to swap out that Nomos for the PRX.
loving both of u guys-and the two of u together is just AWESOME! Greetings from Berlin/Germany, Producer Michael chose some great pieces like the prx and the seiko gmt imho
Producer Michael is the winner. All thanks to Adam. I loved Producer Michael’s funky choices. Nice yellow Luminox. Tissot PRX. G-Shock!!! Didn’t know there were $4000 G-Shock’s. Wow. That was so fun, Teddy! I’ll vote for you!
Always innovative and giving viewers a different experience. Great job as always Teddy. Keep up the great work. I see a Teddy ,Kevin and Producer Michael video in the future. 😉
Teddy you're in my hood 😊. I go there all the time and also recently picked up a longines heritage military. I've had countless watches serviced there as well including my family heirloom 73 Speedmaster. Great place and great service there.
I'm going with Michael's collection. Adam's taste for affordable watches speaks to me, and I would have chosen the same lineup except for the $4000 G Shock. Great collab and kudos Teddy for another amazing episode.
@bdegrds While I don't fully agree with you on that, I can understand where you're coming from. But to be fair, none of the watches from Michael's collection were disposable.
@@bdegrds Not a single one of those watches are disposable, well maybe the smart watch, Seiko is a solid brand so it's Luminox so it's Casio, those are life long watches, it might not be your style or taste but it doesn't make them disposable in no way shape or form, does Tudor have and edge in finishing over Tissot or the other less expensive watches? Sure, so does the Longines or the Oris, but it's way closer in longevity than people think, and to be honest the titanium G shock is probably better fished than anything apart from the Omega both in Michael's picks, so your arguments are really thin, it's better for you to just say that you only like near "luxury" name brands, it would at least be a true statement, and that's fine. Plenty of people I know treasure old Seiko 5s that their grandpa's left for them in still working conditions, so I suggest you stop being a watch elitist, and start getting some watch knowledge.
@@pedrothevenard you think that Casio has better finishing? It's garbage cheap Chinese tech with low grade titanium with black paint that will scratch off. What I mean by disposable is their not worth servicing. A 300-500 watch will cost you a couple hundred to service, that's more then their second hand value. Just throw it out and buy a new one. Most reputable watchmakers will tell you their not worth fixing.
@@bdegrds Not think, it is a fact, the case will be in the higher end possible in that price bracket for finishing, it is not the same level as the regular g shock finish, which to be honest is already close to be on par with Tudor and Oris, being a quartz watch they don't need movement finish so its a mute point, and the bracelet is about the same quality as well, decent but not amazing, the price to service it it's getting lower and lower and I know plenty of people that did serviced their old Seiko for a few hundred bucks and got a very well regulated watch for a couple decades because they like the watch, if you don't think it's worth it that's on you, thinking it isn't worth it and being not worth it are two very different things, you can also just get a new movement for 50 bucks and pay 50 bucks for someone to install and regulate it, and you'll have a super accurate watch, you can even do it yourself and get a bit of fun out of it, the fact is, if you want, for a thousand bucks, you can probably have a regulated seiko for over a century with current prices, it's more than the price of the watch? Sure, but who cares? It's cheap, and if you like the watch it's worth it, plus the fact that many of those watches, if well taken care of, will be - 30 seconds to - a couple minutes a day 25 years from now, and most people could absolutely use it like that no problems as a daily, adjusting every morning, like anyone that has more than 5 watches and rotate them already does.
For once, I seem to be in the minority. Outside of the Longines Zulu Time, I have to go whole heartedly with PM/Adam's choices. Didn't care for their Luminox pick but everything else was fantastic. Regardless, it was fantastic to see you do a video with these two! With a rematch with Mr. Wonderful is inevitable, I do hope to see you collab with other YTers with this format. Awesome work as always Teddy!
Michael's choice look eclectic like one starting from 0 would have 👍 I prefer Teddy's pick on this one. The seiko and omega overlap does make it feel like an "upgrade" one might make but on a contest like this having both, Im not sure of.
I'll have to go with Teddy's selection. It's almost perfect. Only thing I'd change would be BB58 steel instead of silver and replace the Longines Zulu time with the Omega Railmaster.
Michael's collection really made it for me. Yes, I'd love to have the G-Shock, is it the Holy Grail of G-Shocks? Otherwise a great range of watches which would provide day to day variety. Teddy's on the other hand looked a bit too similar. Yes there were differences, with the bezels especially however there were no impact pieces to my eyes. A really enjoyable video, thanks to all.
Teddy by a landslide. The couple picked all quartz watches and didn''t seem to have any particular taste in watches @ all. I watched for 20 minutes and they didn't explain what they like. 😅 The first guy is a watch collector? I'd bet anything it's nautilus's, submariners, and rainbow royal oaks.😂How to build the worst collection ever for 12k.
For stepping out of his comfort zone. i feel like Michael did a solid job. Not only did he hit a category Teddy didn't (GMT), but he also gave a variety of digitals, & a Piece Unique in the vintage Omega. But if I had to select one of the two. I do feel that Teddy's was the winner. the blend of every day + dress + casual won out in my opinion. Also nice to see Longines get some love w/ their new Zulu time. They're a brand with heritage that i feel flies under the radar & cudos for getting a silver watch (as much as i'm not a huge nato fan)
Surprised to see Michael and Adam in your channel, hugely entertaining! I think Michael’s collection was better, the Seikos and Gshock closed the deal for me 😊
Thank you Teddy for this hilarious vid and to Pruducer Michael &Co, this vid has been so amuse!. Your selection smells so classy and stylish, so being true at the same time Mr. Michael´s has done well too, but more oriented for the youngsters. Saludos!
What I learnt was just how little Michael knows about watches. For him it's all about the cost and showing off rather than the horology. Honestly, I believe you need an understanding of watches at all price points to truly understand the value in high end pieces
Micheal's picks are surprisingly diverse. I didn't expect that. He has a smart watch, a digital, a dive watch, an integrated bracelet, a gmt, and even a couple crono's. if he just dropped the Speed timer for a dress watch it would have been the most well rounded collection. It's kind of redundant if you own a speedmaster.
The difference in decor between this store out west and the stores in New York is just Next level. The stores in NY look like 5th could also sell Ferraris, this store looks like you could also buy pots and pans.
How Teddy knows so much about the watch industry it's so much fun watching his educational videos. Teddy would you mine sharing some tips to gain watch knowledge.

What a great time, I learnt a lot from you and had a tremendous amount of fun. Thank you Senator Baldassarre !
I often watch your TH-cam videos and you completely surprised me with your choices! Your British guile snookered Mr. B!
Producer michael, you're a good chap mate 👏
I recommend upgrading the PRX to the automatic version and you will still be within budget. Too many quartz and digital watches, I had to give it to Teddy.
Haha it was a pleasure having you on PM! Remember the name when you fill out your ballot!
As a collection, i think you both came out equal.

LOVE this idea! I’d happily be part of this episode style if interested 😊
That’s a fantastic idea
This idea is great!!
Teddy out here practicing for the rematch with Kevin .
Hahaha
Kevin will be sticking to affordable watches after this FTX crash 😂
Mr wonderful did beat Teddy up a bit on that round.
@@TeddyBaldassarre ❤❤❤❤
Kevin is far too narcissistic. He is clueless as well re watches under 10k
Teddy won this time. No question about it! What a great collection! Everything done right! Good job Teddy! 👍
You’re quite good at adapting to different personalities you interact with, while still being your genuine self. I appreciate your content as always
Reminds me of Bill Clinton
@@FlapJackDaddy "My fellow Americans I would like you to know that I did not buy that railmaster"
Lovely video. I have to say that Teddy instantly got me with the Oris. Even if this was the only watch he chose, I would still point to him as a winner. That dial is just stunning.
Teddy is a landslide winner!!! And mad respect for Teddy on knowing his sh*t and walking the talk
Teddy is a real watch dealer and PM is a real watch buyer! No contest really, just depends on the way you go
Teddy is the clear winner, no question. The couple picked all quartz watches 🤣. They didn't seem to have any basic opinions on watches @ all.
That one guy is a watch collector? I'd bet anything it's nautilus's and rainbow royal oaks. How to waste 12k on a collection😂
he has probably about 15 million in watches. Amazing collection
1000%
Seeing micheal in a more grounded situation and enjoying learning about watches he may have never seen otherwise is so enjoyable
$4k G-Shock is a deal breaker! Nope. 😂 Teddy won the challenge with a nice mix of colors and styles.👍
Thank you Teddy for that one absolutely brilliant viewing, nice to see the PRX making an appearance. I adore mine, entry level as they are, for the money a fantastic watch.
Legendary cross over. Didn't expect this !! You keep surprising teddy
Trust me Michael needed this, Teddy's modesty with Michael's eccentric style lol perfect duo
My vote goes to Michael and Adam, choices made purely on instincts, and it worked! Kudos Teddy!
For a guy who spends a ton on watches and now hearing him get scared going over the budget is the best thing ive heard here. Great episode. In the end we all just want to have cool stuff👌
The dude’s all smoke and mirrors. If you look into it he owns very little and is quite simply a fraud.
its great how Adam has become an important part of Michaels show, they work great together
He always was
who is he to michael? his friend? employee?
Michael could have had a chance but the $4000 G-Shock killed him. I’ll take Teddy’s collection all day.
4K on a gshock was crazy
Teddy's collection all the way. Great variety; great class.
Love Michael's Siekos and Tissot, but there was a lot of meh there. $4k on a g-shock is ridiculous. The Railmaster was far nicer than the Speedy, though the Speedy is nice. Why the smart watch??
4k on a GShock that looks like a Gshock....killer...
I was thinking the exact thing
@@johnfagan4629 🤣 facts
I like the variety of Producer Michael's (well, Adam Swords picked out a lot of the most daring pieces haha), but Teddy's was a lot more consistent and had just enough diversity and interesting pieces to edge it out. Either way, very fun time!
This was a lot of fun mate! Looking forward to the next one with you 👌🏼
Great job Adam I can see you are def learning more and more. So many different options on the luxury lower end as well.
Yeah you really saved Michael in this vid 😅, BTW Seiko is ALWAYS the best choice
Why did you bring a dog with you?
Adam, a fellow Seiko fan and also a Seiko Modder here. Your collection is the true type as it is the one most people can afford and achieve.

What a great idea! I was born in 1982 and I would LOVE to own a watch from that year.
Michael & Teddy thanks for this it was so much fun! It’s a tie! We are the winners for viewing this! 😊
Both great picks the vintage omega is beautiful and the Tudor sterling silver was a great pick. If I was Michael I would’ve put back the G-shock, Mont Blanc and Seiko GMT and grabbed a Tudor black bay chrono instead. But very fun to watch. Great video guys!
Agreed, that move would have maybe even swayed me away from Teddy and I loved Teddy’s picks
I will go with Teddy's picks, I love the Longines Zulu and Tudor combination. Good choice with the Seiko Alpinist as well
yea... these are really nice watches 👌
That's exactly why I liked his picks over Michaels.
Pretty much this
Love producer Michael, but that was a clear win for Teddy. I would have gone for a Tudor black bay 58, casioak with metal case, cartier tank, tissot prx and a vintage omega with pie pan dial! What a dream collection that is!
Your next challenge should be to build a collection for each other to see how well you know each other’s tastes.
Him and his fiancee could do this
His fiancee I'm not sure because I think he already gave her the only watch she's really into
That's a VERY interesting idea, I think him and O'Leary would try that first since they've done more videos together
Christmas collections with red and green dials?
@@mrunner7671 it'll be very easy to gift Kevin a watch, get him anything as long as it's red band compatible lol
I'd love to see one of these episodes with Teddy and TGV. Two guys who really know their watches!
THIS WOULD BE GREAT
Ah tgv, that posh boy pretends a lot.
Michael: affordable watches, 12,500€ for each watch! No Michael.. that’s only affordable to you! 😂😂 I love it!
An Adam saying that's why I am here 🤣
Well it's a Teddy win for sure! Michael, it's time for you to start to learn the entry level watches. So many great luxury automatics from true swiss, Japan, and German brands from $1000- $3500. The amount of watches that take a percentage of the market is surprising. So great to see 2 different worlds combine. Great video guys. Keep these coming!!
Micheal is not likely to learn entry level. Although, but he does have an eye for value.
Those prices you mentioned are not "Affordable"!
I gotta go with Teddy’s collection, the up-cycle did it for me! Loved seeing this collab!
Wow! Teddy you keep producing excellent content! I'm so happy to see you showcase Feldmar in BH. I've bought my first watch from them in 1987. Scott and his team are excellent the selection is awesome!
Michael is always very gracious. He seems to love people. Dig it.
Producer Michael is that rich guy you didn't think you'd like, but you realize you love the guy.
@@oi_bilbo1082 Yes!
Great fun ... thank you, Teddy! My vote is with you, since you clearly have the connisseur's eye. Nice piece!
It always amazes me how many Seiko watches are awesome....going through their catalog I could easily put a 100 watch collection together just within their brand...
If you look down on Seiko then you're not a true watch lover
Michael wins 🏆 with a little help from his wingman Adam.
Actually Adam was way more comfortable and knowledgeable than Michael in this entry level watch segment. Kudos to Adam for his seiko 5 sport orange pick Amazing 👏
But teddy's knowledge is unbeatable what a joy listening his opinions.
Amazing episode 👏
Three minutes in and I know I am going to love every second of this. You have such a skill for meshing with any type of personality in any situation and making it entertaining for your viewers!
Teddy for the easy win. Oris, Nomos, Tudor and the Zulu time🤯 If that Alpinist was the Gold/Green with the brown strap..it would be one of the best watch collections minus a Rollie!
A $4000 gshock is nuts. 😂 that’s where he lost me. Great vid Teddy.
Even Diesel shaking his head at that one. Hand made titanium, 4k LOL. Ted won't lift that one for sure. 13:01
Teddy, you win hands down. I’ll take your collection any time of the day.
I would love to see Michael, Teddy and Marko from the Swiss watch gang do a collaboration on independent watch brands
Love Marko! Hope to do something together in the future
Or teddy Michael and mr wonderful would be fun too
That would be like the watch trinity! Absolutely a collab to watch out! 😀
Well, Teddy, you went for the cheap seats. You win. Even with choices that seemed rather expected, you beat Michael's choices easily.
That was fun. My choice is Teddy, but he works in this price range, to be fair. Feldmar looks great. I haven't been there in years; I remember the older store which was a mishmash of older 60's/70's looking architecture, fittings, etc. Kudos to them for letting them film at their store.
Teddy's choices win my vote, although PM came a very close second. That 4k G-Shock was an intriguing surprise!
Teddy's selection of watches has no rival at all. It could be my dream collection. 👍👍👍
Super fun seeing the other half of this crossover. Great work Teddy, Michael & Adam!
Teddy selection is just gold. So tasteful and elegant. I would love to have the opportunity to have someone that knowledgeable and with a such good taste accompanying me on a watch shop day. Awesome.
Teddy for the win, the titanium g shock being the losing factor for producer Michael! That silver tudor is gorgeous!
Yeah 4k on a Gshock when they could have nabbed that speedmaster railmaster lol
Any more than 100 bucks on a cheap Chinese tech Casio is too much
This is a fun video about affordable watch collection …. Those trio are filling each other in a positive and fun way
Producer Michael and Adam Swords! What a surprise. Didn't expect this one, Teddy. Great video. Goes to show that you can get cool watches at great prices. It looks like it was a real challenge for Michael to choose the watches. Better than dropping down multiple G's for a single watch. Thanks Teddy. Looking forward to more of these videos. Great job!
Seiko has a great product line to complete a collection. Their Presage, Sports 5 and Prospex lines have some beautiful pieces.. 👌🏽😘
That was awesome. Love the collaboration. Although your videos with Mr. Wonderful are some of my favorites, this one with Producer Michael was great too! Hope to see more. Also, Producer Michael won for sure. Sorry Teddy.
A collab that I've been waiting forever for - Michael wins this time!
I didnt saw this coming! kudos to all of you Teddy, Michael and Adam! This is surreal haha
Honestly there’s epic pieces in both collections that i love so its a hard call for me haha. Great episode! Super fun!
I’m going with Michaels choice, purely for the vintage Omega.. that’s the winner for me 👌🏻
I'm with you here, that vintage Omega is definitely a crowdpleaser!
You nailed it, Teddy! What a chaotic, yet, completely entertaining video! Totally fun!
Teddy wins hands down….. almost every watch I’d pick for myself on that budget👌🏻
Love this contest. Producer Michael and Teddy are my two favorites. Good show guys
Did not expect the combination of the MR-G with the vintage Speedmaster. I would tend towards Teddy's collection but I might have to swap out that Nomos for the PRX.
Variety is the spice of life!
Great comeback by Teddy. Half way through it was all about Michael.
I definitely prefer Teddy's choices, more in line with my taste. Nice episode guys
loving both of u guys-and the two of u together is just AWESOME! Greetings from Berlin/Germany, Producer Michael chose some great pieces like the prx and the seiko gmt imho
I really enjoyed Teddy’s confidence here. He is a man who knows watches more than almost anyone on the planet.
Totally not true, but I do know this price range well. Just an enthusiast with a passion for this stuff!
Producer Michael is the winner. All thanks to Adam. I loved Producer Michael’s funky choices. Nice yellow Luminox. Tissot PRX. G-Shock!!! Didn’t know there were $4000 G-Shock’s. Wow.
That was so fun, Teddy! I’ll vote for you!
Always innovative and giving viewers a different experience. Great job as always Teddy. Keep up the great work. I see a Teddy ,Kevin and Producer Michael video in the future. 😉
That salesperson will have a commission large enough to buy the company he works for 😂
Interesting content. Keep up the good work on your channel. Regards, WR4K.
The collab that I’ve been waiting for! Awesome show and maybe even better than with Kevin 😂
I agree!
No
I don’t know man, as much as I don’t like Kevin’s narcissism, this Michael guy seem a bit gone in the head.
Teddy you're in my hood 😊. I go there all the time and also recently picked up a longines heritage military. I've had countless watches serviced there as well including my family heirloom 73 Speedmaster. Great place and great service there.

Blowing Michael's last 4k on a Titanium GShock, and not going for a Longines, should be a punishable offence!🤣🤣
Michael's collection really made it for me. Yes, I'd love to have the G-Shock, is it the Holy Grail of G-Shocks?
Otherwise a great range of watches which would provide day to day variety.
Teddy's on the other hand looked a bit too similar. Yes there were differences, with the bezels especially however there were no impact pieces to my eyes.
A really enjoyable video, thanks to all.
Teddy by a landslide. The couple picked all quartz watches and didn''t seem to have any particular taste in watches @ all. I watched for 20 minutes and they didn't explain what they like. 😅
The first guy is a watch collector? I'd bet anything it's nautilus's, submariners, and rainbow royal oaks.😂How to build the worst collection ever for 12k.
For stepping out of his comfort zone. i feel like Michael did a solid job. Not only did he hit a category Teddy didn't (GMT), but he also gave a variety of digitals, & a Piece Unique in the vintage Omega. But if I had to select one of the two. I do feel that Teddy's was the winner. the blend of every day + dress + casual won out in my opinion. Also nice to see Longines get some love w/ their new Zulu time. They're a brand with heritage that i feel flies under the radar & cudos for getting a silver watch (as much as i'm not a huge nato fan)
Surprised to see Michael and Adam in your channel, hugely entertaining! I think Michael’s collection was better, the Seikos and Gshock closed the deal for me 😊
Lol sure
To me, the 925 Black Bay tipped the scales in favor of Teddy. Great vid, guys.
Hard for me to imagine him buying a watch other than jacob & co's and million dollar pateks 💀
So clear Teddy won. Sensationell pieces!
the fact that Adam knows all about Seiko says to me that Michael isn't paying him enough lol
Thank you Teddy for this hilarious vid and to Pruducer Michael &Co, this vid has been so amuse!. Your selection smells so classy and stylish, so being true at the same time Mr. Michael´s has done well too, but more oriented for the youngsters.
Saludos!
What I learnt was just how little Michael knows about watches. For him it's all about the cost and showing off rather than the horology.
Honestly, I believe you need an understanding of watches at all price points to truly understand the value in high end pieces
Great vid I love it was a affordable side in Michael collection and you took the more expensive and collector approach
Lol Michael wasn't good at this at all. Should have just told him the lower priced brands and let him pick the ones he likes.
Between the two videos with Producer Michael and 🧸, this is mu favorite video.
12.5K budget and they both nailed it! It doesn't matter if it's a 100K or a 100$ watch. When you're a watch enthusiast, you'll always find a way.
Two different worlds here 😂. Love the class from Teddy.
Micheal's picks are surprisingly diverse. I didn't expect that. He has a smart watch, a digital, a dive watch, an integrated bracelet, a gmt, and even a couple crono's. if he just dropped the Speed timer for a dress watch it would have been the most well rounded collection. It's kind of redundant if you own a speedmaster.
The difference in decor between this store out west and the stores in New York is just
Next level. The stores in NY look like 5th could also sell Ferraris, this store looks like you could also buy pots and pans.
First W by teddy ever. Finally. The nomos pink dial made the cut
Great video, Teddy's choices are GREAT simple and unique!
I love Teddy’s collection. It has me rethinking my watches.
How Teddy knows so much about the watch industry it's so much fun watching his educational videos.
Teddy would you mine sharing some tips to gain watch knowledge.
Been wanting this collab for a while. LOVED it! So much fun. Keep content like this coming!
PM, what a wonderful and down to earth guy i've ever seen so far.
Whoooo can’t believe Mr Teddy Baldassare VIP congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I really like Producer Mike. He seems like a genuinely nice dude
Another classic segment, thanks Teddy.
Awesome colab, was really pulling for u teddy but in my opinion he pulled a lot of my favorites. That seiko speed timer is on my Xmas list for sure
