- I am joined by Marc from Long Island Watch. Marc came to our boutique in Cleveland, looking for some ways to expand his collection. We look at a handful of watches from Omega to Grand Seiko and even get a little competitive along the way.

19:00 Recap
Thanks for having me, Teddy. This was a ton of fun. Sort of a "kid in the candy store" feeling. For a guy slinging $300 Seikos, this was surreal.
Having you guys in room together..... Horology perfect..... to of the nicest guys in the watch world ❤
You're a community treasure, brother. 🙂
Both of you guys are a bastion to the community. Marc you have always offered an undeniable value proposition to your customers, and that gets more watches on more wrists, in turn growing this silly, awesome hobby of ours. Keep slinging em!
One of my favorite watches is my Islander Aviator, what a beautiful white dial.
Love the Islander brand and Teddy's work as well. Both of you are standing tall on the horological ramparts over us all.
you can really see that Marc chose his collection based on his personal taste - love his watch choices.
Yeah - white dials lol
"to wear what you like, not what society tells you to wear." good quote from Marc. Love Teddy's Senator Perpetual.
@@cortezdefense Personally I do buy/wear what I like, but the real test is not being bothered if they also happen to be some of the watches ‘society tells you to wear’.
I will never be a hipster, no matter what accusations are levelled at me 😘
@@alfieakaronaldog Agreed! Buy what you want. Don't buy something because it's popular, and don't buy something because it's unpopular. If you like it, get it. How many or how few people like it shouldn't be a concern 👍🏻
Cartier Tank, Speedmaster, Shunbun, Daytona, F-91W, PRX, Khaki Field, etc etc. Popular watches are popular for a reason. If you like them that's fine, if you don't like any of these watches that's also fine!
Going with Marc on this. Happy Saturday, everyone!
Wow, Marc has a very consistent style and yet varied watch movements... His collection is by far the best I've seen on Teddy's chanel!
I only would change that Breitling for Teddys Omega.
Too many white dials, IMO. Still a great collection.
I think Mark has to be one of the nicest people in the watch industry. Such a great laid back guy. So happy for his success.
Highly anticipated collab! 2 of the most humble watch guys!
You are naive or don't know the definition of Humble. They are standing in a store named TEDDY. and Marc is dressed like a 4 year old while pitching his own brands.
I think you are right... I love Mark and all he does..... but man he should have got dressed for this!!!
"as an engineer I approve" I'm gonna use that line every time I open my mouth now hahaha
@@altal2993I like Marc a lot too. But yes, he should have shown a little respect and dress up a bit for the occasion. Wearing a sweatshirt with his brand name all over it was a might crass. He also looks like a retiree up from Florida in that outfit, while Teddy’s just showing off his store, but then…why not? If you’ve got it flaunt it I suppose 🤷♂️
@@zionkid420 i thought that i am the only one who thought that
The winner is: Your viewers! We win because we got to see two genuinely nice guys share their common interest with us in a fun, collegial way! I enjoyed watching you two “shop” while respecting one another and the choices. I would love to have a beer/coffee with you both. Really appreciate this video helping me wind down my weekend.
Wow. The RUclips watch community has really come a long way and this colab is one great example.
Marc is my horological hero. Watch and Learn got me obsessed with the hobby. But wow Teddy is showing him up with that beautiful dark blue pinstripe suit. Perfectly tailored with great pick on the pocket square and shirt/tie. Teddy knows how to wear dress clothes that fit.
As I have had a moan at Marc I feel it’s only fair to critique Teddy (I look worse than Marc most days 😂).
My take is that Teddy does not always wear perfectly fitting suits etc. but that’s not at all important.
It’s actually a strength because he is being himself.
The guy has style, class, standards, and above all makes an extreme effort in everything he does, and is above all a gentleman.
He is a true role model and knows his watches 😈
I think he looks great except for the exposed shirt below the jacket buttoning point. He should wear higher rise trousers.
@@tim035 There is a lot not quite right. Upper arms are too tight and shirt showing as you mentioned.
I am sure Teddy will get a fitted suit soon, but he will never pop a 💩 sweatshirt on for sure. 😂
Save it until he can grow facial hair properly maybe.
Guy owns a watch shop, an online business, and the second most popular watch RUclips channel.
Has a fit girlfriend, speaks properly, and is not overweight 😉
If he keeps on at this rate he will be in a Bond movie real soon 😘
I agree, that suit looked so sharp on him.
Every watch Marc picked was perfection. The perfect collection for me.
Every pick was a hit.
I don't normally view videos that have watches i will never be able to own as the green eyed monster tends to come out. However, seeing 2 people, that on the surface seem polar opposites to each other, come together because of a passion for watches is great. Really enjoyed this.
That Zenith Chronomaster tipped the scales in Marc’s favor. Such a stunner!
El primero movement and white dial , is a dream watch
Zenith El Primero is never a wrong choice.
Just what the weekend needed, a nice long watch shopping episode with 2 of my favourite horology RUclipsrs! Amazing work Teddy & Marc!
My 2 favorites.
Agreed..... I love these guys
Absolutely. The first watch I bought from Marc was an Orient M-Force Bravo in 2016 and my first Swiss made piece was a Mido Multifort Dual Time from Teddy in 2022. I'm fortunate to be local so I've been able to make several visits to Teddy's boutique where I picked out my Aqua Terra Worldtimer, just like Marc did! Both gents are awesome and I've been lucky enough to meet them both in person.
Marc is so refreshing man, islander brand watches may not be every one’s cup of tea, but they are awesome in their own regard and definitely serve a purpose! But Marc is just so passionate about what he does and horology in general and it always shows. He’s the embodiment of someone who will never change no matter how successful he’d become. Teddy is very similar in that way, just 2 humble guys enjoying watches. Gotta love it!
Marc is such a legend. 100% genuine character
Absolutely find the chemistry and ease of banter between Teddy and Marc delightful! Marc gets my vote. Thank you.
I remember the numerous episodes when Teddy did these challenges with Kevin O'Leary. It must be a great feeling for Teddy to do it in his OWN boutique!
I would much prefer to see more with Marc.
Marc won this one.... his selections felt cohesive and I would sway more towards his with the exception of the spectacular Breitling Teddy selected.
I just want to say Teddy and Mark..... two great guys in the same room together..... Both amazing sellors of watches, all be in perhaps different segments of the market....
Man I can’t even describe how much I love this. Two legends. Marc is the Og.
Love this! I like the way Teddy and Marc represent. Marc…humble, hard working. Teddy… humble, and just enjoying watches with friendly respect. 👍
Marc won this one for me, great episode as always. Two awesome dudes in the watch game. Love the collab
I love it when Marc is on the show! Love both collections but I got to give it to him Marc, matches more closely with my taste :p
You're 2 of the nicest guys in the community, and it's so exciting to see you watch shopping together. I can't pick a winner here but I especially loved Teddy's Breitling and Marc's GS
Teddy's collection had more apparent variety and Marc's was more cohesive. My collection philosophy is generally more in line with Marc's since I collect around my wardrobe, with a few exceptions here or there. So I'll give Marc the win while admitting that Teddy's collection is a good reminder to be spontaneous and enjoy the ride sometimes.
Love the video. I like the colour variations in Teddy’s selection, but I prefer the choice of watches in Marc’s collection.
That is what I though. 👍 They are on par! The next watch would certainly make it clear who wins.😂
Exciting episode! We would love to watch more of such collab episodes. Both of you have won our hearts and minds.
Wow - two collaboration videos with Marc. This says so much of both Teddy and Marc. Thanks!
Marc won that, just for the Omega World Timer pick.
totally
I agree. I bought a blue dial one in that very same store.
Yes! Finally the collab video I was waiting for. Congrats Marc!
MARC! LEGEND! Love that he still represents with the Seiko for all of us.
Love seeing Teddy and Marc haning out! Two great collections, but I have to give the edge to Marc's collection here. I appreciate the visual consistancy with the white and blue. When you know your style, you know your style.
What a fun and entertaining video! Smiled the whole time. Thanks for the awesome video Marc and Teddy!!
Game changer idea teddy - have a charity raffle to do this kind of activity with one of your subs. Half to a charity of your choice, half to the charity of the winner's choice
Marc is just so loveable!
I absolutely love how Marc had the choice to be competitive but chose to be a gentleman, speaks volumes about who he is as a person. Class act, and love your content too Teddy!
Teddy actually won for once. Nice of Marc to dress up.
I think Marc keeping it real for his fan base
I thought that
Maybe..... both are great in their own markets, which is fine as long as they are both successful
Marc is such a standup guy. He personally answers emails and is helpful in answering questions. Several times when I needed watch parts, he referred me to other websites because it would be cheaper than buying from Marc. What a guy. He’s a true watch guy and delivers value where ever he can. You can rest assured that you will always get a great value when buying from Marc.
Great collab. I think Marc won this one. I'm a sucker for white and blue
Teddy and Marc are two outstanding retailers who are also watch enthusiasts. I purchased a Squale diver from Marc at Island Watch a great experience! As a long time watch collector I highly recommend both Marc and Teddy ! Thank you guys for what you do to promote the hobby and for your interesting videos!
Two gentlemen on their own way.
Very cool video !
Thank you guys !
A lot of light colour dials between Teddy and Marc. Two of my favourite watch guys, always mild mannered and polite. Well done guys. Teddy looking super sharp.
Bravo. Thanks for the collab gentlemen! Two of the best RUclips has to offer!! One who is just a pure enthusiast who’s also just got passion for the business, the other with his appreciation for the engineering masterpieces that are mechanical watches. Both humble, both successful in the watch world both non-pretentious! Salute!!
This was fun. Both collections were great but I will lean more on Marc's collection.
Marc takes the win for me, such a well curated collection of timepieces. He truly doesn't care about the opinions of others and I think that was displayed nicely with that silver/white/blue color scheme of his collection - they all complemented each other so well and were simultaneously so very different from one another. Great episode to you both!
Teddy wins this one with a lot of variety in picks! Marc chose a couple of my favorites between the two collections, but what can I say, there wasn’t much visual diversity there.
Marc!!! Man i love that dude. he is so down to earth and always informative.
My two favorites colab again! I was rooting for Marc, but I’m not a fan of white dials, so Teddys inclusion of the bronze and green Oris tipped the scale in his favor for me. Wonderful to see the two of you together having a good time!
Love seeing these two guys together in videos. I’m amazed that there were no black dials chosen.
Teddy in this video watches were secondary - i couldn't take my eyes off your immaculately tailored suit - big shoutout to whoever tailored it for you - they know how to cut the suit properly and the wrinkle-less back and the shoulder seams were just so perfect - Love it ✌️
The Teddy x Marc episodes are such a treat. Two walking encyclopedia's of watch knowledge! Great to see the shop, too - looks really awesome.
Great collab guys. Loved watching how you interacted with each other and how you worked through making your watch choices. I was happy to see that you each picked a Grand Seiko (my favorite brand) in your collection. For my taste, on balance, I'd go with Marc having the winning collection this go around. Thanks for a really fun video. Great two see two of my favorite RUclips watch personalities together.
Marc definitely wins this one. I like the coherence in his picks. It actually looks like a personal collection.
I enjoy both Teddy's and Marc's channels; I like them both together as well. They have good chemistry 👍
This was my favorite "Watch Shopping" Challenge episode so far. I liked watches from both collections equally.
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!
Some of my all time must have watches right there in both Teddy and Marc's selections!
One of your best shopping challenges. Marc was the winner in my book. Love the Worldtimer, Zenith, and GO
Marc won this challenge but teddy won our hearts. Awesome Video Teddy !! Great collaboration and so much insight
Wow, Awesome Video, I’m Excited to Meet Marc, I’m from Long Island and I never had the pleasure of meeting Island Watch, I will look him up, Marc seemed very humble and I loved his Choices! Teddy I had the great pleasure meeting him at His place in West Lake Oh few weeks ago and been watching his RUclips videos for several years. His choices were great as well! Tough one, very Close. I give the nod to Marc on this one. Zenith and Omega World timer were the deciding factor. Awesome video. Thanks Teddy!!
I have been collecting watches for 5 years. Teddy and Mark have influenced and given me much to think about in the world of watches.
Both super strong choices! But I'm going with Marc on this one, some amazing choices! That Panodate is just so hard to beat, stunning.
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MaMaCoo 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.
I love shopping trips of any kind. People are generally passionate and knowledgeable. You two didn’t disappoint. I will give it to Marc because he picked watches from every genre. Though he almost lost with the gray shaded chrono (way too busy). The white asymmetrical watch made the collection as did the Grand Seiko. Teddy, I loved the Omega because it was simple. The mint chrono with the toothy bezel was a nightmare and the Otis wasn’t too bunched together for my tastes. Those makers owe you some kind of comp. Your enthusiasm likely sold some watches yesterdY
Teddy, you’re a true gentleman. Thank you for hosting Marc in your store in such a gracious manner. Both collections are incredible and worthy of the win, but I will give it to Marc this time - mainly because if the Grand Seiko he chose.
Outstanding choices by both men. Both Grand Seiko's are excellent choices. I like Teddy's diversity in dial colors but for diversity of styles Mark has the nod.
first serious watch I just bought. Hamilton Jazzmaster open heart. loving it.
Two of my favorite watch reviewers wrapped up in one! This was a lot of fun -- pity you didn't offer a give away from each selection! Teddy, the younger me liked your style and selections but the now older, more prudent me supports Marc. I can breathe in his store (budget wise) but would hyperventilate in yours! Heck, I was hyperventilating during the video!
Two of the most genuine watch people on RUclips. Great video. Mark has one of my Grail watches, but Teddy has two watches that I own so I will have to go with Teddy.
Really enjoyed seeing both Teddys and Marc’s journey over the years and great to see them both together!
Teddy nailed it, his choices were super diverse and tasteful.
the glashütte panoreserve is such a beautiful watch one day i'll buy the green version of it it is gorgeous
MARC'S Collection is out the park, he won. He may dress casual but his watch taste is immaculate. Teddy's Glashutte Original pick was my favorite of the collection.
Love the money. Great to see two legends together.
Got to go with Marc's collection mainly because I also love white & blue.
First time I loved both players selections. Well done. The Oris Bronze won the tie breaker. Teddy for the win!
Both great collections, well done gentlemen. I have to go with Marc’s selection.
MaMaCoo You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much
Both of you chose wonderful collections but I must admit that the variety in colour and complications of Teddy's choices wins my vote.
First off, Thank you both for amazing videos. Huge fan of Teddy and Marc. As far as my chosen collection, I will have to go with Marc. Marc selected diverse styles for different wear and occasions as Teddy's collection seems to be a bit more dressier across the styles selected.
Awesome video by 2 of the best watch people in the business. Both humble,honest, and knowledgeable. Huzzah!
Awesome to see Marc on the show. Such a down to earth watch enthusiast. A good combination guys. Thankyou.
Two of my favorite watch guys. I have learned so much from Marc and Teddy. I have to give this one to Marc. That Zenith Chronomaster is just beautiful!
We need a return visit to Marc's warehouse, hopefully Teddy will put some effort into his attire for that.
I cannot chose between these two sets really, but will go with Marc since he also got a great looking and diverse collection but for less money (Marc is all about getting more for less). Fun show guys. More of you two together would be awesome.
Great stuff! Teddy enjoying the store, as he should! Glad to see Mark (Marc?) having fun there too! Fan of both channels.
Tie for me. I give the edge to Marc’s choices only because his tastes happen to align with my own. Teddys is more diverse though and that wins credit. I would be thrilled with either collection.
Watches are so delicate and intricately designed, so I have intense respect and admiration for amzwatch watch makers
Sorry Teddy, but I think I’m gonna go with Marc’s collection. He picked the Glasshutte. It’s my dream watch. Great to see two of my favourite watch gurus together in an episode. Love the challenge. 🎉
I enjoyed spending this moment with two passionate guys ! Both collection are very nice, silver is my favorite dial color after blue, but I'll stand next to Teddy just because his choices would feet my wrist way more better. Now I've to find 46K 😊
A really fun video. I'm calling a tie, both Marc and Teddy have great taste.
Teddy, a lovely store, will have to stop in when in the neighborhood.
Marc, as always buying from you on line, great products, even better service.
I loved Marc's picks, and would have done something similar with the white and blues, but that perpetual calendar from GO is beautiful
It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of amzwatch's watch 99% of people will never see.
I’m wearing that exact Islander Mark has on while watching this video! It’s been in my rotation for the last couple of days.
I have enjoyed and learned from both Teddy's and Marc's videos for a number of years. I even bought a couple of watches from Marc. What shows through in this video is that these guys really love watches. Sure, they are businessmen and make their living selling watches. But they are watch lovers first and businessmen second.
I give Teddy the edge; more color diversity makes the collection pop more to the eye.
This was fun, you two are a few of my favorite RUclips watch experts.
You are both the reason i love watches now! Great video always learn a lot
So much fun seeing two Watch guys going head to head and hearing their rationale. Fun episode!
It's a tie!! Thanks for the tour of the store ... really enjoyed it.
