for sure, you cant be hiding shit. ide even say grow a pair and co tinue using the same account. transparency is key. assuming you can afford it@odds-and-sods
If I get some discounts from ADs My picks would be 😊 : Omega Seamaster Diver 300 black, Omega Aquaterra shades Bay green, Longines Spirit Zulu Time 39mm Sunburst Blue or Nomos Tangente 35mm
I have the special edition of the 9F85 quartz movement (Sea of Clouds). The quartz watches with a star at 6 o’clock are rated +/- 5 seconds per year and my example is still exact on atomic time nearly a year later. Incredible stuff.
I'd go with the GS SBGA413 ($6,600) as my everyday watch, black dial on bracelet Zulu Time 39mm ($3,150) as my travel/more rugged watch, then Tank Must SolarBeat ($3,300) as my dress watch (anOrdain Model 1 as runner-up)
If I had that much money to spend on a two watch collection it would be on an Omega Aqua Terra (blue teck dial in 38mm) - and a Tudor BB54 or the new Longines Legend Diver 39mm in black.
Same as mine. I have the 38mm AT saffron, 36mm legend diver blue fume and BB 58 gilt. I bought the Legend 36 before the 39 came out but I still prefer it over the 39mm so no regrets. I also bought the BB 58 before the 37 mm BB 54 came out and I prefer the 54 after seeing it in person. I will add a 38mm Zulu time in blue next few weeks.
Tank is always been my favorite. Of all the watches in my collection, its my favorite. If I had to have just 1 watch for ever, it would be that. Thank you for including it!
For that budget or thereabouts, I would go for the Grand Seiko SBGE257 Spring Drive GMT watch, Longines Ultra Chron dive watch, and the Nomos Orion Neomatik dress watch. Just above at US$13,400 (using list prices) but I get 3 in-house (okay, in-group for Longines) movements: a Spring Drive movement, a 36000 high-beat chroonmeter movement, and a slim movement. Bonus: They are from 3 different countries - Japan, Switzerland, and Germany reapectively.
I started my watch journey this year and bought 4 watches (and one Timex was given as a gift), and my watches equal around $13k; I lean towards dressy watches and went with Timex Waterbury GMT, Hamilton Jazzmaster Performer Blue Dial, Longines Master Collection Moonphase, Santos de Cartier medium steel, and Longines Legend Diver in Bordeaux! 😊 Absolutely love all my watches and I feel ready for all occasions!
For that amount of mony I would be build 3 watch collection. My 1st pick would be TAG Heuer Aquaracer Automatic Blue Dial with GMT function, 2nd one would be Omega Speedmaster Chronograph Automatic Black Dial, and last but not least Longines Heritage Conquest White dial. All 3 watches dedicted on Amazon price cost a bit more then 10 000 US Dolars.
A little over budget, but I like this 3-watch combo: Omega Seamaster Diver 300M in white or black; Grand Seiko SBGM221 GMT, and either Longinges Record or Conquest Chronograph in black or white (opposite of the Seamaster color). Fun video and congrats on the GS dealership!
The Large Cartier Tank Louis that you featured has a quartz movement. The reason I know this is that I want that exact case, dial, strap combo with a manual wind movement which they have not released yet. Hoping they make this soon.
If you have the wrist for it the Rolex SD43 is an outstanding daily watch. I'd suggest a G-Shock square for high impact activieties, yard work, mechanices, etc.
Great to see Fortis mentioned. They’re massively underrated despite being one of the few remaining independent Swiss marques with a strong legacy, and they’ve done a terrific job updating their lineup. The new Flieger is a great watch too.
For the 80-20, I think it makes more sense for the 80% to be the versatile watch, like a black bay 58. Then that open up about $8500 for you to have a specialty watch to wear 20% of the time. Obviously there are so many options with an $8500 budget
Depends how large of a collection you’re looking to have with the $13,000 ceiling. Would be hard to fit an Omega or Rolex as a single watch would net you a collection of a single watch lol. For me personally, I’d probably have some Hamilton, Longines, Raymond Weil, and maybe sneak in a Tudor or Panerai.
Hi Teddy. Really love your content and the watches you show. Can you please make a dedicated video on the Fortis Novonaut? I cant believe there is no one really talking about this release. I was lucky to get the first edition and I really love this release. Its a really amazing watch and I think fortis is way underrated. The Flieger Chrono in Petrol color is beautiful.
Excellent video Teddy and team! Purchased eight watches with the professional assistance of Jon and Will. Please continue to educate us in 2024. Take care and Happy New Year!
I know a few salty sailors and divers that have had a Rolex Submariner as long as I've known them, some since 1990s. Tudor Black Bays and Pelagos are more prominent among some of the younger divers I know along with the rare Doxa which I wild think I would see a lot more of. Do they still need them in these days, yes some of them participate in free diving and the basic timing from the dial is a great function still and these divers do mostly wear their watches. With also being strap monsters, I've seen some really interesting straps amongst these divers. They really use their watches.
Great video. My collection is based on five fundamental watch types which I believe is the base of a well balanced collection: Diver Chronograph Field Dress Vintage You just build from there
Three Watch Collection for the „I love GMTs“-persona (me (if I’d had 13k to spend on watches)): - Every Day GMT: Grand Seiko SBFE 271 (Kanro) - Sporty/Diver GMT: Longines Hydroconquest GMT - Dress GMT: Nomos Tangomat GMT
The one watch options seemed to just be any watch that cost around 13k. None of them are actually watches that anyone would really choose as their only watch. Except for the Sea Dweller for someone who has larger wrists.
That Tudor from persona 6 is really beautiful!! 😍. I’m the persona 5 dreaming about exchange my Seiko for a Dress German Minimalist one + my Santos Dumont from Cartier ❤❤❤💸💸💸.
Teddy, you’ve been educating us on watches… thank you for that. But today I reaaaaally need to know where can I find a jacket like the one you’re wearing in this video. Thanks!
@@DWilliam1Teddy hasn't repplied yet. I saw a video from his wife's channel and she has an affiliate link in Amazon - but the jacket she suggested (one that Teddy has worn on other videos) is no longer available.
I’d go a bit over, but I would do a two watch collection with the Cartier Santos stainless steel and the Rolex Explorer OR Two-toned Santos for my daily/dress watch and the new Longines Conquest Chronograph for my sports watch. Loves the video, lots of great options here Teddy!
I'd keep my 3 favorites: Oris BCPD & divers 65 (bought used) and my Smiths Everest honeycomb. I'd add to that a 36mm datejust with the fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet.
No wonder this channel is headed to one million followers and that TB's company is a success. What a fun way to discover some new brands to consider. Well done.....again.
Thanks again for a thoroughly professional presentation and assessment of some fantastic timepieces. Personally, I'm striving for one or two of the more attainable watches, especially the Sinn. (Please, please, please don't start selling bed mattresses).
I don't have any expensive watches but I watch these youtube videos all the time... I'm pretty sure 99% of the enjoyment in this hobby is just window shopping and day dreaming about them...
For me, a collection must have at least three watches. A "collection" is defined as "a group of things". A single watch is definitely not a group, two is debatable, for me it's a pair. If you have three or more, you can call it a collection.
Exactly, someone who is spending 13k on a collection and ends up with 2 watches is buying 1 status symbol and a 2nd throw-away watch to compliment said status symbol.
MY 4 watches collectopm fpr 2023 are 1. Longinese Zulu Time, 2. Seiko Turtle, 3. Seiko SSK003, 4. Longines HydroConquest GMT. Sum up for HKD 7000. All sport watches and technically can dive at swallow water. Make me have now. I have traget for next year. subjeect to the bonus . Omega Aqua Terra World Time green bezel is my target. 80000 pound.
Rubber bezel ??? Surely that will get nicks and tears in it with no chance of polishing it out like a metal bezel could be, I suppose there might be replaceable rubber bezels available from the company.
Hm. I'm a bit disappointed here. I'd go for a 3-watch collection of Cartier Tank XL, a Breitling Superocean Heritage 42 in green and a Hamilton PSR. Cheers!
More importantly, where’s the “How to hide the fact that you’ve spent $13,000 on watches from your significant other” video?
Love this!

Great selection! I just looked up the SBGE257. Oh my. That's so so nice!
Another great episode Teddy - for me it would be Hydroconquest GMT, Omega Aqua Terra, Nomos Tangente
Teddy, what is your favorite watch of all time? Look forward to hearing back from you. Happy New Year!
I started my watch journey this year and bought 4 watches (and one Timex was given as a gift), and my watches equal around $13k; I lean towards dressy watches and went with Timex Waterbury GMT, Hamilton Jazzmaster Performer Blue Dial, Longines Master Collection Moonphase, Santos de Cartier medium steel, and Longines Legend Diver in Bordeaux! 😊

I’m wearing the SD43 126600 right now, it’s a fantastic watch. But I also have over 50 other watches. I think I might have a problem. 😮
Add Frederique Constant World -Timer Watch and A FC Highlife series Watch to the list . They Would add More Beauty to the Collection.
I'm also considering a Vacheron 56 with a bracelet for a versatile, everyday watch.
I’d split it between two:
1. Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Classic Monoface
2. Tudor Black Bay GMT two tone
A little over budget, but I like this 3-watch combo: Omega Seamaster Diver 300M in white or black; Grand Seiko SBGM221 GMT, and either Longinges Record or Conquest Chronograph in black or white (opposite of the Seamaster color). Fun video and congrats on the GS dealership!
The Large Cartier Tank Louis that you featured has a quartz movement. The reason I know this is that I want that exact case, dial, strap combo with a manual wind movement which they have not released yet. Hoping they make this soon.
That's right! I was so surprised that Teddy and the team got this one wrong.
Hoping they also add a guilloche dial. Large Tank, manual wind, guilloche dial would be my grail tank
I love this sociological approach
Omega speedmaster, Cartier Tank, Baltic Aquascaphe for me. Leaves you 700 bucks to get on a nice trip with your wife too.
700? A cheap weekend in a driving range city.
@@shuycg or a few days in Florence, Venice, Paris, Amsterdam. You know, the benefits of living in Europe.
Looking forward to seeing Teddy hitting the 1M subscriber number. It’s refreshing (and fun) to have him taking over Hodinkee by himself.
Teddy's LinkedIn shows his company employs between 51-200 people so he's definitely not alone.
Wow! I didn't like any of those, except for the Seamaster Aqua Terra 😁😁.
If you have the wrist for it the Rolex SD43 is an outstanding daily watch. I'd suggest a G-Shock square for high impact activieties, yard work, mechanices, etc.
Facts! I’m wearing mine now. Looks great on my 8.3 inch wrist. The Sub’s big brother. 😊
I love these new "non-clique" personas! Where they used to be hipster, outdoorsy, etc these are actual true-to-form collector types.
Breitling SOH2 42mm and Cartier Santos Large…I have both and they are awesome.
Great to see Fortis mentioned. They’re massively underrated despite being one of the few remaining independent Swiss marques with a strong legacy, and they’ve done a terrific job updating their lineup. The new Flieger is a great watch too.
The GS quartz is the watch made by the company which invented the quartz watch! The best! Set it and forget it…..
Agreed. Can't say enough good things about the moment and that style watch edges out my Rolex OP41 in overall looks. And that's an impressive feat.
Everyday/GMT: Longines Zulu Time
Dive: Tudor Pelagos
Dress: Cartier Santos
Beater: dw5610/5000u or Marathon GSAR
Thoughts?
For the 80-20, I think it makes more sense for the 80% to be the versatile watch, like a black bay 58. Then that open up about $8500 for you to have a specialty watch to wear 20% of the time. Obviously there are so many options with an $8500 budget
the last tudor in the segment - looks rather nice. a small cyclops over the date for older folks as an option would have been nice.
Aren’t the Longines diver and the Tudor diver meeting the same function on the 3 watch collection ?
Yellow gold tank with white dial is a quarz version. At least on their website.
Thank you TEDDY. I always discover new beautiful watches . But to day, i am in the mood for one watch collection : One CARTIER Tank .
Such a great breakdown for a relatively new collector at right around this price range. (Three-bie here.)
Loved the "personas" and excellent choices ....Happy New Year Teddy!
Depends how large of a collection you’re looking to have with the $13,000 ceiling.
Would be hard to fit an Omega or Rolex as a single watch would net you a collection of a single watch lol.
For me personally, I’d probably have some Hamilton, Longines, Raymond Weil, and maybe sneak in a Tudor or Panerai.
My skyfall blue aqua terra was £4k brand new that leaves 9k to buy plenty of decent watches
@@cupra2Jock.unfortunately the No Time to Die Seamaster and the Speedmaster Moon Watch I’d love to own are each $8k-$10k.

Excellent video Teddy and team! Purchased eight watches with the professional assistance of Jon and Will. Please continue to educate us in 2024. Take care and Happy New Year!
Great video. Loved these personas you guys thought of
I have the Rolex Sea-Dweller Red 50th Anniversary. Thanks for reviewing it. I do feel lucky to have it. Happy New Year.
I love my HydroConquest. Such an understated piece and I get constant compliments on it.
Which color? I like the brown dial a lot, although green is my favorite color. Cool watch and congrats!

Diver

You just build from there
JLC Reverso Tribute (10,600$), and Longines Spirit Zulu Time (3K).

- Every Day GMT: Grand Seiko SBFE 271 (Kanro)

Like me!
would mind listing not only the watches you sell, but all watches mentioned? just without any link for the ones you don't sell
Teddy would you be able to make a video regarding the Rolex situation in France?
That Tudor from persona 6 is really beautiful!! 😍. I’m the persona 5 dreaming about exchange my Seiko for a Dress German Minimalist one + my Santos Dumont from Cartier ❤❤❤💸💸💸.
Yes, I'll have that new Sea-Dweller then please Teddy!
Are there any problems I might encounter with that plan at all?
Wearing the SD43 now, it’s awesome! If you have the wrist for it, it’s a kickass daily watch.
Nice video to round out the year, thanks Teddy!
Every single watch is presented to this video is fantastic thanks once again Teddy keep doing what you know best the watches 👍💪👏❤️
Same budget but I have an Omega moonwatch. Tag formula 1 and Tag aquaracer
Teddy, you’ve been educating us on watches… thank you for that. But today I reaaaaally need to know where can I find a jacket like the one you’re wearing in this video. Thanks!

OR
Two-toned Santos for my daily/dress watch and the new Longines Conquest Chronograph for my sports watch.
Loves the video, lots of great options here Teddy!
Can you make a video of women's watches up to 10k? I need something for my anniversary.

Had to stop the video 3mins in just to ask about the jacket Teddy. Sharp as a tack!👍Love it!!

The Tank Louis Cartier in Gold with a Dark Grey Alligator Strap has a Quartz movement and not a Manual Wind 1917…I believe.
As far as I can tell, you are correct. Only the rose gold comes in the mechanical. Oversight for Teddy's fact-checking team! :)
Honestly Teddy is just getting better and better, unlike most on here

I feel like people sleep on Rado and it definitely could have taken a spot in this video.
Agreed. Rado have interesting designs and materials at a compelling price point.
you can find that quartz grand seiko pre owned for about 1,600$

This is really more of a promotional video of the watch brandsTB is selling as an AD with the addition of an occasional Tudor and Rolex.

hey teddy realy great content , with all the respect i just disagree with the grand seiko part 😅
U make the best fkin videos Ted. Excellent shots on a whole lot of watches. Thats all we want😂😂 ur input is the cherry on top
Zenith Chronomaster Original, Sport or a Defy Skyline Skeleton.
Who finds joy in reaching for one watch? Crazy!
Enjoying the love for the German watches!
Now prices are going down, huge drop in sales of luxury watches - I read that there is a price drop of 37% since 2022.
Have you try de New Seiko GMT spb 383 ? For me it's Better than Longines GMT. 1700 vs 3000 €
Persona 6 all the way for me
He had a vague sense that trees gave birth to dinosaurs.
Rubber bezel ??? Surely that will get nicks and tears in it with no chance of polishing it out like a metal bezel could be, I suppose there might be replaceable rubber bezels available from the company.
Seems like the German watchmakers are great at tool watches!
Yes I'm just starting to realize that too😊.
Teddy never disappoints
Don’t think cartier tank LC have sapphire, mine with rose gold having mineral glass
Tudor Royale.
Hm. I'm a bit disappointed here. I'd go for a 3-watch collection of Cartier Tank XL, a Breitling Superocean Heritage 42 in green and a Hamilton PSR. Cheers!
