Hi Teddy, watching the video as writing this, can i suggest you start showing us what you're wearing? Wrist check sort of thing... Keep up the great work, enjoying your video.
Hi Darren, I have typically been against it since it just slows down the video and in many cases it is the watch I am reviewing. Someone suggested having a callout with a graphic which I think is a cool idea.
@@TeddyBaldassarre do it “Pop Up Video” style!
I agree!
Yes. Do it.
@@TeddyBaldassarre a little graphic in the top right corner would be subtle and informative 👍
From being a person who never liked to wear watches to a person who just bought his first watch (Seiko prospex). I can't thank Teddy enough for evoking my love for watches.
Here’s a vote for the blue dial GO SEAQ Panorama date for the one watch diver collection. I have it in the bracelet and got the matching blue GO synthetic strap to be even more casual. Perfect set up to create a two watch equivalent with just one elite watch!
My dream 3 watch collection for that budget consists of:
GMT - Longines Spirit Zulu Time - Everyday piece number 1
Diver - Tudor Black Bay 58 - Everyday piece number 2 (although with the new Pelagos 39mm i might change my mind :) )
Dress watch - Nomos Orion/Ludwig/Tangente - really hard to choose one, i still have to go somewhere and try them all.
I think this collection will also fit 'check all the boxes' category and i am thrilled to someday get my hands on all three of these watches. (So far i've only managed to buy the Longines :))
It's a pretty interesting lineup at this price point. I was happy to see the Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic mentioned here. Baume & Mercier doesn't get mentioned much, but if you know something about their heritage and what they've accomplished over the years, they are to be appreciated. Personally I would include more from Longines, such as the Master Calendar and the Spirit Zulu Time GMT.
Really love your $ collection series. You always manage to cover not-so-obvious pieces
The Aqua Terra for everyday, the Tissot chrono for my sport, and Longines heritage flagship for my dress.
I love the Aqua Terra.....that Longines flagship is nice as well--never knew about this one. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to finally see Norqain getting some spotlight! Great manufacture calibres. For the GMT option with Hipster category I would have gone with the Neverest GMT but that freedom Chrono is a great looking watch as well!
Plus they’re releasing a new watch or watch line in a few days it sounds like
Hi Teddy!
Great video as always! 👏👏
I think I would go for three watches, one sport/diver, one dress and one beater/tool watch. For my sport/diver, I would go with the Omega Semaster 300 Diver with the black dial ($5400). For the dress watch, I would choose Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic 10468 ($3400). For the beater/tool watch, I would go with Seiko Prospex SPB299 ($1250).
Perfect timing Teddy! So appreciate your content!
Love this format, keep up the great work!!!
You're killin it in the watch utube space. Impressive work man.
Great way to give me all sorts of options to make my decision on watches. And thinking I'm going to need a bigger budget! Keep up the great content Teddy!
This is an excellent video Teddy!
My four are as follows:
IWC Mark XX - black with various easx strap options. Three rubber (black, blue and red) and two leather (Black and blue). Next year, bracelet! Love this timepiece!
Tudor Black Bay Pro for my everyday - gorgeous! The perfect field watch plus, GMT.
Omega Speedy Moon watch - sapphire. One has to have a manual winding crown. Make one feel connected to the watch.
Breitling SuperOcean 42 - black on black rubber. Value for money, hands down the perfect driver.
I recently sold my Rolex Explorer as I've been turned off with the games Rolex plays and the grey market sucks. I've been on "the list" for an Explorer II - Black dial for what it feels like a dogs age. There is nothing "luxury" about buying this timepiece anymore... It seems to be a privilege just to be even considered. I purchased my Rolex Submariner's 50th Anniversary in 2007. Now that was a luxury customer lead experience. Plus, I was given a discount! (I can't call it the Kermit - what a stupid name).
Keep up the awesome content, mate. Fair play!
Great video Teddy. One thing you said at 21:25 surprised me and that was when you said the Junghans wears smaller then its size, because it is all dial I find they wear much larger.
ORIS Big Crown Pointer Date,
TUDOR Black Bay 58,
LONGINES Flagship Moonphase,
CASIO G-Shock
You can't go wrong with this mix !!
In today's video, I loved baume and mercier clifton the most. It is simply gorgeous!!!
I agree, those just considering a collection, the “three watch” option is an excellent goal. It will cover the basic needs, covering the bases, and help deter the potential boredom that can develop over time with just one style. Great video, thanks!
Been watching your videos for a few months. Gave in and bought my first "real" watch today. Got a seiko ssa447. Thanks for the great content!
Quite a few cool choices! Food for thought, for sure :) Great video!
Thanks for showcasing these watches
Thanks Teddy, as always, there is something new to learn from your videos.
Great video as always.. This morning i was searching for a promaster and found some information about the the Citizen Campanola Mechanical Chronograph, as a huge Citizen fan i did not known about this one.
Appreciate these type of videos
Great vídeo, as usual. You've become my favorite watch reviewer. Excellent work. 👍🏼
Another great video, thanks!
Another wonderful video!
That breakdown is absolute clarity for me. Thank you! I was wondering if you can do the same in regards to the Seiko following?
I'll consider used if I had a $10k budget and if I planned to keep these long term as if it was a one time purchase.
A Tresor Deville white dial, a speedmaster black dial and a Gshock.
You'll be covered on all occasions from dressy to casual, to extreme sports and in "gentleman" style. All around you will appreciate your style.
Bonus, you can either pass these Omegas down to your grandchildren or sell them for about the same when bought used.
Really enjoy your channel.
My whole collection changed from micro brand watches - which have great specs and quality like my Crepas Cayman , Benarus Megalodon , Christopher Ward Moonphase and Formex Essence Leggera carbon case, meteorite dial and patented carbon deployant clasp to 2 collector but also everyday watches- my Cartier Santos large blue bezel blue watch, absolutely love everything about it both on the bracelet and blue rubber strap, and my new Omega Seamaster 300M white dial , black bezel , have the bracelet but love it on the black rubber strap. If I get one more watch it probably would be a black dial, just not sure ..
Tough call so many options. I always prefer the 3 watch segment. Here are my picks.
Diver - Oris diver 65 black with bronze bezel 1600$ grey market
Everyday - Omega AT blue or green teak 5700$
Dress - Cartier Tank Must Large 2900$
If I went 1 watch I’d stick with what I already have (sub).
Perfect duo:
BB58
GS snowflake
Brandon, some amazing choices. About the GS snowflake? Can you enlighten me on that one? To have these watches in your collection as such a young age, amazing my friend. Thanks for sharing.
@@amgolfer3591 I wish I was younger . I’ll be 38 in February
Bravo, Teddy!
Great choices across the board! I would've loved to have seen Bell & Ross thrown into the mix. In my opinion a much better choice than Oris when looking for a Pilots watch. Also perhaps Breitling or Montblanc (the watch not the pen haha). Great dress watches at an affordable under 4,000 price range. I personally have:
Dress Watch- Montblanc Meisterstuck Heritage clean dress watch no second hand 18k rose gold markers and hands
Dive Watch- Rolex Submariner black bezel (2022)
Chronograph- Bell & Ross BRV-126 which is a great chrono for the price point and in house movement (unfortunately only a 40hr pr though)
GMT/World Watch- Tudor GMT S&G (the gold wrapped links on the underside near the buckle are prone to sever scratching though)
Started off with Hamilton Khaki Mechanical, Oris Aquis, and Baume & Maucier Classima for a 3 watch collection a few years ago.
Also love your NOMOS shout outs, they are an amazing German brand that should I sell the Montblanc will without a doubt be my next dress watch (since Cartier is overworn and overvalued in my opinion)
For a 3 watch for 10k I would personally go with:
Everyday: Bell & Ross V1-92 (approx $2000)
Dive: Breitling Superocean 42 (approx $4800)
Dress: Baume & Mercier Clifton (apport $3400)
For the one watch category, I would have taken the Grand Seiko SLGA009, the newer White Birch spring drive watch from the evolution 9 collection, with the power reserve indicator moved to the back of the watch for a more clean design compared to the snowflake.
the SGLA009 is my first Luxury watch ever. I love it so much. The finishing is insane. When you see the watch face catch the light and reflect onto the wall, you’ll be blown away
Couldn't agree more; absolutely stunning and gorgeous timepiece. Hopefully, one day.
Hey Teddy. Cool content! Your video from a while back inspired me to buy a CWC today, as I hadn’t heard of the brand (and I’m British!) Cheers
Love this series! After 10k are you going to do bigger price increments?
Love that perfect duo (Speedy and BM)!
Best dress watch for around $3k is the Cartier Tank Must imo! A true icon 👌🏼
Perfect video!
That Tissot chrono! That's going on my list
Love the content always! Would love to see a new look at German brands like meistersinger
These are the best type of videos
This was great.
Can you do an extended 3 watches collections for 10 and 15 k?
love these videos
Hello Teddy!
I’m surprised that at least one Grand Seiko didn’t make it into this tier video… Seems like the brand offerings would have matched well to this price segment.
Always enjoy your videos 👍I have mentioned it previously but you should show some Bremont watches. Great value around 10K👍
Zenith Chronomaster Sport and and Vostok Amphibia 710059. Works for me.
Nice choices!
Lol! Wish this video had been made before starting my watch collection.
Loving this series! Definitely see myself in the “Checking off the boxes” persona. Can’t wait until you get to $20k; that’s gonna be fun.
Would also love to see you do a “preowned” version of every budget you’ve covered.
Good perfect duo
That Junghans is SICK. Coolest thing they’ve ever put out imo
Hi Teddy what would you clean your watches with?
Love the videos thanks
Great video - i love the tudor ranger! I only have 1 watch right now - a TAG Carerra 5 which is a great everyday watch. I'm planning on getting a couple more pieces this year likely less in price like a Nomos Tangente and Grand Seiko, we'll see!
Teddy you have to check out Nivada Grenchen Chrono! Fantastic piece! ❤
If you had to do a collection of three watches but you have to choose between AP, Vacheron and Patek, which 3 would you pick?
Another fun video. Please take a look at Minase and Epos.
For 10k USD budget I don’t think I can go with 1 watch collection neither the perfect duo, it has to be 3 watch collection, certainly the budget allows it. I would go for:
1- Diver Omega Planet Ocean 600 in 39.5 mm in blue
2- Everyday Nomos Club Neomatic 37 mm in black
3- Hamilton American Classic Intra Maric 38 mm
WOW 🤩!!!! Amazing presentation!!!! I’m in a way glad I’m not limited to just $10K, but if I was I seriously don’t know which way I would go.
The best watch collection is, of course, _my_ watch collection :)
- Rolex DateJust, 36 mm, two-tone, cream dial, green leather strap
- Omega Speedmaster Date, 40 mm, dark grey sunburst dial, bracelet
- Breitling Navitimer, 41.5 mm, blue sunburst dial, blue leather strap
- Panerai Luminor, 44 mm, matte black dial, brown leather strap
... and then a Marathon Navigator for hiking/kayaking trips.
My current two watch collection is the Omega Speedmaster 3861 Hesalite Moonwatch and the Omega Seamaster diver 300 white dial - over $10k but if I had to choose one, it would be the Speedy and some money left over for a vacation
Even with two from one brand, that is a great duo. Pretty much covered in every scenario.
Hi Teddy, As a personal request, it would be really great to see a video on how I should pair my blue Breitling Superocean Heritage II 42 on a Milanese loop with only $7,500 left.
Having trouble completing my 2 watch collection.
Best dive watch might be Favre Leuba Raider Bathy 120 MemoDepth. At $8600 it comes with a depth gauge down to120m. Watch is rated at 200 m. Also Bell & Ross Blue Steel simple all around watch for $5000.
Teddy, what watch are you wearing in this video?
Teddy - Love the channel. Any thoughts on the Mido Multifort Patrimony vs. Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium (blue dial)? Been saving up for the latter but then saw the Mido and now I’m doubting myself. In terms of price and everyday wearability I think they’re comparable, with Hamilton of course leaning more rugged and Mido with some dress elements. Strange comparison maybe but it would be my first Swiss made watch. Wife likes the Mido better, which is a possible plus 😂
I like these. A $25K series next!
I love that teddy and his team takes the time (no pun intended) to do these awesome videos! I really appreciate and enjoy your take teddy 🙏
Haha. Nice. This one following the Casio review. Love it.
Much appreciated
While it’s not ideal in the dress watch-department, I guess I would go for three:
- Longines GMT (3k)
- Tudor Black Bay Chrono (5k)
- Mido ocean star 600 Chronometer (1.6k)
Oh, well, maybe I would make it 4 watches and add a Seiko Presage Automatic for 0.4k😅
My three watch collection (which I do have) Zenith Elite chronograph with El Primero movement. Cartier Roadster (most fabulous looking watch ever imo) Tag Heuer Monaco. My total cost is under 10,000.
The Cartier Santos de Cartier S&G is wonderful. I love it and am hoping to buy my wife and myself each one for our five year anniversary (she is too small for us to share).
This has been an *iconic* series so far! I would look forward to a $12k video or even one with a budget of $15k, $20k, or more. This would be fun because some of the watches in the "1 Watch Collection" or "Perfect Duo" would be appropriate for the "Check the Boxes" or "3 Watch Collection". This series is all about imagining watch collections, so going up past the $10k mark totally makes sense from my POV.
Keep up the good work!
I love the idea of these. Fun thought experiments. I am genuinely curious though, how many folks approach watch selection this way? I kind of have a set of "core" watches that are in the primary rotation that are limited in number (3-4 in my case) along with a selection of cheaper, more adventurous alternatives (1-2 in my case). They may change over time, so a "budget" doesn't really work.
All that said, these are really fun to watch, and I love trying to guess what you're choices will be!
Yeah same here. In reality there are 4 or 5 fun cheaper watches to go with my 2-3
Nicer ones.
Fun video!
For a perfect duo (of luxury watches) I’d do the black dial calibre 400 Aquis and an all steel Santos medium. I know it’s a few hundred over but at that budget what’s a couple extra hundred matter?
For the 3 watch collection, gonna go for a Longines Spirit 37 for the daily, a Tudor Pelagos 39 for the diver, and the dress option's gonna be a Nomos Orion 38
I have to agree with the addition of the Spirit 37 (I've yet to see it in the wild) and the Pelagos 39 (seen and tried on my wrist a few weeks ago but was not for sale at that time) that is one of those watches that is a tool watch with some classy additions. Very light as well. For a dress it would be a hard choice between the Nomos Ludwig and the Orion.
Or 1 Rolex
nice video thank you. do you know like or see a place for Kurono which is priced very well or Naoya Hida?
@teddy What watch are you wearing in the video?
Hi teddy, i like your videos and i am going to start collecting watches… as my first watch i am looking forward to tudor ranger and tudor black bay 36 or tag aquaracer.. i want to know your review on these entry level luxury watch as a first watch ..thank you 😊
Im a check off the box type myself. You never know what style youre going to want that day or in the future. Every new watch I buy, Im trying to change it up a litttle bit.
Hi there Teddy , appreciate your work , I have taken my inspiration from there videos and after a couple of years navigating thru RUclips being educated by yourself and others , I am now the proud owner of : JLC Reverso small seconds Duoface Q3848420 , 2022 and a IWC Portugieser IW5007-05 auto 2012 , unworn . There are some great deals to be had if you do your homework , are patient and don’t mind pre used .
Hi Teddy, I really enjoy your channel and your range of videos. Also really like the ones where you go shopping with Kevin. One observation I have though, is that you never mention Panerai when doing watch comparisons. For example in this 10K range there are plenty of options across their range that could have been mentioned. Seiko/Grand Seiko, Tudor, Rolex, Longines, Nomos, Cartier, Omega and Casio get regular mentions, along with other interesting less well known brands, but never Panerai. It feels like they're being overlooked for some reason. I dont own a Panerai, but do love their look, and was very impressed by their manufacturing, testing and approach to QC that I saw in a video on another channel. Could you consider weaving their Radiomir, Submersible and Luminor watches into your comparisions so we can see how that stack up against others in the market? Thanks, Dave
Teddy, what watch is the back-up vocalist wearing in Aquillo's cover of Pink Floyd's wish you were here. I love it.
Currently trying to create a 3 watch collection. Must have a beater, sports, dress. Land, sea, air. Date, gmt, Chrono. Rubber, steel, leather. Quartz and Automatic…..lots to ask but think I can get it with a Seiko Captain Willard, GS SBGN027 and IWC Portofino Chrono. All for less than £10000
Can you do an updated State of the Collection? It’s been a few years since the last one from what I can tell
My current 5 watch collection:
1. Sinn 6096
2. Tudor Pelagos LHD
3. Omega Speedy Haselite w/CB
4. Seiko Tuna Quartz
5. Casio MT-G B3000
Thoughts regarding my collection at $10k spent and what I'm missing?
Love the collection building videos, and breaking it down between “types” of buyers is a good idea. I think there’s too many buyer types, though, and they overlap. I’d do: 1) classic 3 watch collection 2) 1 watch collection (giving a sports watch option and an every day watch option) ….. and then give 1 option in each of these 2 categories for the independent watch collector. Would love to see this in a $25k collection . A pair of 12k watches vs one 25k one is an interesting price point comparison because of the watches you’d be comparing. Gold Rolex GMT vs Zenith chronomaster sport + JLC duoface Reverso…..which would you chose? Interesting…..
You’ve got the personas down perfectly in my opinion
I agree that the “wrist check” is a little slow for videos these days but I do think the pop up window idea is solid but does add editing complication obviously.
One video about Bell & Ross please. Regards and Thanks a lot for your content.
I would have included the 41mm Breitling navitimer in the category #1
Tudor bb58 in blue
Reverso quartz with no second hand is like the best life hack I’ve heard in a while
That Tissot is a take on a Baume Capeland. Tell me, are dials sourced at places like Basel where any brand can get any dial design? Even sub $500 brands use similar styles at times.
Blancpain Bathyscaphe at 2:38. Bulova has a new watch that is very close in design to this Blancpain model. It also costs a fraction of the $9,500 USD price tag.
@@Bu-22 I am so damn disappointed that Teddy didn't mention a Steinhart.....😞 LOL
I’m the check-off-the-boxes type. Problem is, I keeping making more boxes!
Great idea for a video and choices. My only critique would be not to select watches that are not available - Rolex or those you said sold out.
I believe a collection should be built over time, not at 1 shot, so never considered this.
Nice job, Teddy. Always enjoy your videos. Hot take: Tudor Ranger = most boring watch you can get at nearly any price. Sooo many better options at $3k.
Hey Guys, hey Teddy,
what do you think about the new TagHeuer Aqua Racer GMT? Think its great for the price.
Will we see it featured or even reviewed in future Videos?
Love the work, keep it up!🔥
Can u make a video on hmt watches?
