My watch journey started on this channel, and 1.5 years later I’m far down the rabbit hole and couldn’t have enjoyed it more so far. Thank you.
Keep some traction. Can be a slippery slope.
I’m on that journey. Been wearing my only watch dw5600 Casio for 2 years now. I’m 37 and for some reason I have been addicted to learning and watching these watch videos. So insane I have never been so interested in something in my life. Still haven’t made my first purchase but I’m all over the place with ideas lol
Is it just me or does everyone wants to see Teddy's latest watch collection? 🤔
No
I do
SOTC would be good now that you mention it.
@@randysfox 👾is k lbkg
I think with this crowd it's safe to say we want to see anyone's collection at any time for any reason. Lol
Thank you for making these videos throughout the year Teddy. You’ve re-sparked a new love of watches that I had lost. Thank you.
Along with the Zenith, I thought the Mido Decompression Timer was right up there as watch of 2021. It always makes me smile - and really can’t be taken seriously like most dark dial watches. Great video, as always!
Yes, it's the annual Teddy's watch rewind. Thanks for these selections Teddy. I am just getting into watches and this helped me a lot.
Thanks for all of the great watch videos teddy! Since finding your channel, I've gone watch crazy!
The Oris Upcycle is awesome I so love the idea that every dial is unique, one of a kind. That is so awesome to me.
i've been looking forward to this year's edition! thanks for the upload teddy!
Your videos are so helpful in learning what gives value to watches. Being limited in budget I want to get the most 'bang for the buck '. They also allow me to survey the vast number of brands, styles and level of timepieces are out there.
Thank you Teddy!
Curious, how do you define most "bang for the buck" in a watch? Cheers.
Christopher Ward
Thank you for this video. Love the fact that you included affordable timepieces. The Bulova Mil-Ships, The Seagull and the Vostok is on my list now.
👌👌
I’ve really been loving your content this year, especially the overlap with Kevin O’Leary, it’s been fun
Great video Teddy! This year was a great year and watches, and I was glad to see the Longines sector dial and Oris Aquis upcycle make it in. Alongside those the Aquis cherry dial and Nomos Club Campus in future orange are the options I'm considering for my next purchase. Here's to another great year in 2022!
your review of the baby alpinist pushed me over to making the buy, and now it's my favorite and most versatile watch in my modest collection. cheers!
Excellent. Thanks for the continuing education as well as the ego boosting endorsement of a few of my own purchases. Always nice to see some of mine that made your list. 😊👍🏼
So glad you had the Oris Upcycle in there. That was the watch that instantly captured my attention this year. Have thought about it ever since. Definitely one I want in the collection.
I watched this and picked up the Orient Kanno while the episode was still playing! Prior to this purchase I didn't own any Orient timepieces. Turned out to be a fun watch for the money. Thanks for the recommendation!
I really love the production value of your video's. You and you environment are so well lit. I love the B-Roll macro clips of the watches. Besides being a prof at watches, you're a great film maker too! None other than respect! Greatings from the Netherlands!
The quartz craze of the 80s fits the PRX value proposition of maybe being the only quartz I would wear (besides for my dw5600s) From one connoisseur to the next, I agree with you, Teddy.
Yet another outstanding video. Great work as usual Teddy.
A watch I discovered this year is the Grand Seiko with the spring drive. In particular, I like that the 9RA2 movement has the power reserve indicator on the back vs the dial. I’m curious if any of these came close to making your list? The SGLA007 is just stunning, in my opinion.
You made the watch world so easy to dive into and understand. I bought the Tissot prx powermatic 80 for my first watch and it is sensational. Thank you !!!
That's it! I'm getting that Tissot Powermatic. I have other Tissot watches and they're really reliable and have a classic look. Underrated brand!
Excellent selections.
Shouldn’t apologize for selecting 1 nearly impossible to get watches. It’s a masterpiece and deserves recognition even if all examples are spoken for.
Very comprehensive , much appreciated reflection , thanks. I share your sentiment on the JLC, Patek and FP Journe. The Tudor chrono and the Zenith certainly look a very good value and alternative to Daytona.
Thanks for the year 2021! I bought my first automatic watch in 2021 and it was Aqua Terra with black dial. Nice to hear so good recommendations from the watch expert of my first watch :)
I have several Seiko's and a Citizen. I wanted to move to something other than Japanese, so I bought the PRX Powermatic 80 as my first Swiss watch. So happy with it! Thank you Teddy for the great content! Your channel has been a big reason why I've gotten so into watches
I am in exactly the same boat mate. Several Seikos and Casios, but the PRX 80 powermatic is my first Swiss watch.

Thank you so much for everything I’m trying to build my collection as well!
Thank you for watching! Your support means a lot to me. I am very thankful for doing something I love!
Well done! I love discovering value watches since my first three filters are the dial and availability at an affordable price.
I liked this year in review favorites video. Please do something like this next year. I liked the format that included the misses and favorites as well.
Another top quality video… informative and balanced. Thank you
Beautiful collection - thank you Teddy. You’ve helped me learn about watches so much, and I can finally talk to my local boutiques without getting intimidated (Hyde Park in Denver). Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas my friend! Thanks for the support!

@Teddy great picks! IMO Tudor is hard to beat. They produce timepieces that rival watches double the price. I rarely get compliments or questions about my two tone Sub. The Black Bay inevitability starts conversations. I am eyeballing the panda Chrono! 🤤
Teddy will you please please please do another personal collection update/ SOTC? Loved your ones from a few years ago and very curious how it looks right now
Tremendous year in review video, Teddy!
I like your lists Teddy. Only one you missed in my opinion: the Hamilton Khaki Field Bronze! I picked one up about a month ago and I adore it. I think it’s easily worth the small premium over the non-bronze versions.
Just the video I was waiting for!
Next vid could be your 2021 personal watch collection💪🙏
Great video and nice way to wrap up the year!
You're good describing your experiences, translates so well!
That Tissot automatic PRX looks so very similar to a discontinued AP, I was lucky enough to try on this week in all steel with a stunning blue sunburst yet very similar squared off finished dial. The current used market price of the steel AP is over 75k uk pounds£ and going up.
I agree on the Anordain 1. Just managed to get a green fume last week. Lovely dial for the price range and one of the few dress watches in my collection. If I have any complaints it is the size. A 40 would have perhaps suited my middle aged chunky wrists a bit better.
Such honesty. Thanks!
For me, the big hit of this year and far away from the others, is the VC Evrest Overseas.
For a brand that is known more for ’dress’ watches, they release The perfect tool watch.
For its design and specs, it’s just mind blowing. 😱😱💯👌😎
Surprisingly, Grand Seiko has really delivered so many beautiful high-hand pieces this year.
I’m still struggling to pick my favorite between all the Spring Drive, Automatic, Hi-beat, GMT, ...
Definitely, on my list for next year. 👌💯😎
My special brand crush for this year, is Christopher Ward.
With the C63 Sealander collection and their in-house caliber and module works, they really up their game.
IMHO, they are on the way to be one of the big ones.
For micro-brand, with Baltic, I would put Lorier in the light here, has they’ve really released hits with almost all of their timepieces.
That BB Chrono, to me, is just one of the best looking chrono’s period. And it’s attainable. That for sure is my next milestone watch.
Also, I like these longer videos, keep up the good content.
Totally agree with that aqua terra choice ! I hoped you talk about the speedmaster of 2021 :/
Thanks for the great video. Merry Christmas bud!
Teddy got me into rabbit hole of watches lol. Purchased two from him already Citizen Dive Promaster and Tissot Gentleman Powermatic Silicium. Love both!
i personally own the PRX powermatic 80 and i do agree that it's truly one of the best everyday watch. it stands alongside my blue Omega SMP300 as my everyday watch on a rotational basis because it simply looks amazing from any angle, and it isn't too expensive for me to be concerned about scuffing it. it's an incredible all-round piece.
What color dial did you go with? Does it look even better in person and on the wrist?
@@rufus5208 i went with the blue dial and i have no regrets. yes, it does look better in person because under different lighting conditions and angles, it goes from light blue to dark blue to near-black. it's like you're getting 2 dial variants for the price of one, and i honestly wouldn't bother with the black dial.
and on the wrist, the gaps between the lugs are polished, giving it a nice shine and play with the light, as the light moves from the shiny polished lug edges to the brushed lugs, and back to the polished lug edges while you're doing a wrist roll.
The Baltic micro rotor was a crazy watch. Extremely beautiful but very unfortunate it’s so limited and sold out within minutes.
Seriously!!! I looked up the current price for them they’re going for over 2K now that’s unbelievable!
Amazing compilation of timepieces. Great working with you here in Miami
Great meeting you, Bernard!
Such a great video, great work as always. Sending love from Canton, Ohio! Thanks for representing NE Ohio so well.
Love the video! The company I work for sells some of these watches I’m so excited that they’re featured here.
Brilliant as always
Hey Teddy, thank you for this Great Video. Hope you have a Great Christmas.
Great review, thanks Teddy!!
A great selection teddy, It's always great to hear your views and try to second guess them. I got the PRX, Aqua Terra, I hoped the anOrdain would get a mention along with the Longines Sector dial in black. It was also good to see the Seagull in the video. Thanks for sharing Teddy.
Nailed thoroughness in this video Teddy well done and Merry Christmas.
Tell your cam op to throw a polarizer filter on your lens and polarizing gel on your light and you can eliminate that reflection in your window with a quarter turn. I know it bothers you as much as it does me.
Great lists and choices Teddy. I need more money cos I need a lot on these lists!
Great overview of the year. Baby Alpinist and Tissot PRX checked those marks for me too.
Cracking video Teddy, great selections here for sure.
I love your channel and content. As a new subscriber, I think I have watched all of your videos in the past month and thoroughly enjoyed them all. As a boring Apple Watch wearer🤦♂️🤦♂️, I am saving up for my dream one watch - the Grand Seiko Snowflake. Wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Absolute great video
Thank you Teddy for sharing such interesting video and all the others... Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Great year-end round up.
Love that Rolex was not mentioned in this video! How refreshing !
Great video. Thanks
Another video I enjoyed, I don't mind long ones from you as I learn so much from them, please keep them coming. Request though, please do a video with Rolex vs Omega vs Longines in the dress watch category. Thanks and have a nice weekend:)
Great job, Teddy. Man, that Zenith is killing me.
enjoyable overview. Thanks from Switzerland!
I feel for me the Hamilton Chronograph at around $2000 is such a great watch in so many ways.
Ikr!
I’m really close to pulling the trigger. Tough choice of white or blk dial.
@@WestCoastAce27 i got it in white...a true panda dial
Same here, personally wanted the true Panda. The watch is an excellent option without totally breaking the bank.
absolutely love my orient "mini" triton. I can't stand the day indication and so the date on the four hour position is just really nice.
Wow! What a fantastic watch review, well done.
Thanks Teddy
Happy New Year 🎆
Anordain - just gorgeous, and I really appreciate the craft put in...
Zenith chronomaster sport is the ultimate attainable 2021 watch for me, just amazing.
I think I learned more from this video than I have in the past three months. I have recently purchased four watches (nothing fancy) and am looking to purchase more. This is great information!
Very inspiring video! Top taste!
Also to conclude the year, we need a state of the collection video from you :)
Great list. That Zenith is amazing.
I like the 'underwhelming' Orient diver! I got one last September with the green dial and bezel and orange second hand and think it sits beautifully on the wrist. I chose this over the Kamasu/Kanno models!
It was my 40th birthday at the end of October and I wanted to mark the occasion by getting a watch so I started researching and found your channel. A couple of months later I'm still here, I guess I fell down the rabbit hole.
Thank you Teddy Baldassarre! For great information. Stay healthy everybody.
I’m with you, I didn’t get Vostok but now I have one and my Scuba Dude has a lot of charm I think.
The video we all waited for...
Hey Teddy, Great video as always. One watch I'd liked to see get covered that is always overlooked by everyone is Titoni. Are you familiar with them, and/or any plans to cover them?
Nice video, Teddy, thanks 🙂👍
Thank you, Teddy!
Amazing video :=)
Fantastic choices
Great video 👍🏻
Beautiful choices. I'm always glad to see a watch guy who is not a watch snob! Whatever makes you smile when you look at your wrist, and that can include Vostok.
The Aquaterra became my every day watch. Just perfect
Cool stuff. You should look into carrying Farer, great stuff!
Thought for sure one of the Marathon dive watches would make it on. I feel like I remember more than a couple of videos this year featured the GSAR or MSAR.
It was very close. The artic 41 mm was right in the mix. So many great watches this year.
Awesome video, Teddy. What’s on your wrist in this one?
Excellent….all lovely watches…that JLC is fire!
No Moser Streamliner? I think the new Moonwatch may have deserved a squeak in there somewhere too. I’m biased but I also thought the return to 36mm was a pretty big deal for the Explorer and retuned it to its former glory. Maybe the GS Silver birch deserved a mention also or possibly even the Suwa Lake version?
IMO Teddy almost always comes through with some extremely typical, "hot", lists that err on the side of safety in terms of the models being mentioned.
Those watches don't make Teddy money.
The Streamliner is the watch of the year imho
@@conduit242 don't really care for the streamliner but that's just my opinion
If you waited little bit you could've added the new 5711 Tiffany & Co to the attainable luxury 😂
I think the new retro style diver by orient sneaks in as the best affordable diver this year
Great job Teddy. The last thing I need is another watch, but I don’t own a chronograph. I found a dealer that had the Tudor, but I had to drive 6 hours to get it. I didn’t go. Still want it.
