Quick correction, photo for the submariner used in this was incorrect showing the older reference. Sorry for the miss on that. I think in the 2019 video I said that it was the craziest year of my life. Well given what has happened in 2020 that take aged worse than milk in direct sunlight. Anyways, thanks to all of you that watched this year and for the continued support. A couple watches that I would have thrown into this video was the recent silver snoopy. I finished that video after this one so I didn’t include it as well as the new Formex essence 39 which I would swap for the reef for my personal taste. What was your favorite watch of 2020?
Well if you expected a lot of change (apart from the brand new movement, but hey, who cares) in design you don't know what Rolex has been about these last decades and why they are so successful.
Got the Tissot Gentleman as a knock about everyday piece. Still blown away by that ETA movement. Accuracy is phenomenal as is the power reserve. At the price you can’t go wrong. Classy and nicely finished. The mechanics every bit as good as the 3235 new gen Rolex movement I’ve got in my DJ41 but at a fraction of the price. Guys ETA have got this one nailed. Nice Swiss piece.
Well, Seiko and Grand Seiko did a pretty good job this year. I like almost every piece that came out. Some might say they go to more pricy but there is quality for sure.
I got the grey dial variant of the seiko 5 and it’s my everyday watch. I love it! Under 200 bucks, you can’t beat it! Solid list btw 👊🏽 here’s to 2021!
Some people don't realize how complicated is to make a watch from scratch and make it fully functional and to run perfectly fine, is insane when I watch these guys holding a microscope in their eyes and assembling piece by piece these watches is outstanding 😱
I put it on my wrist at the dealer. Did not buy it. It looks better the video. But in reality， color is very pale. I suppose you have to see it yourself If you want to buy.
The most expensive watch I bought was the Omega Railmaster which is such a classic and speaks for itself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of elegant watches.
I agree with your choices of Grand Seiko, Tudor & Omega. My favourite watch of this year which was released at the end of 2019 was the Orient Star Sports Outdoor in Green. I call it the Orient Mountaineer as apposed to the Seiko Alpinist and Rolex Explorer. Orient Star is the Grand Seiko of Orient. This Mountaineer is way cheaper than an Explorer and way better than an Alpinist. I tried the Alpinist on and the dial real estate was way too small for me. This Mountaineer has a beautiful Green dial, cream patina markings, good lume, 50 hour power reserve indicator, black PVD case polished and brushed, good quality mocha brown leather strap, diamond style screwdown and signed crown, see through caseback with nice perlage and gold touches and all for around $630 USD. I was so impressed at the quality and value I bought it and couldn't be happier! 😊 The Mountaineer is a true field watch that does to the Alpinist what the Kamasu did to the SKX. Great video, please do a review of this Orient Mountaineer as you will not be disappointed!
Great video! Your review convinced me to get the JLC Master Control Chronograph Calendar; I need to stop watching your channel for the health of my wallet 😂
Great video, Teddy! For me the watches that jump out at me were the: 1. Tudor BB58 - I like both but somehow lean towards the black dial variant with those gilt details. This is the first watch that has made me think of selling my Omega Seamaster PO 42mm that I’ve had for 10 years. 2. Hamilton Intramatic Chronograph- great execution of the panda dial. 3. Maybe I’m growing up, but the JLC chronograph is gorgeous as is the Reverso you showed here! The Reverso feels like the kind of watch that if worn, people will just assume you know what you are doing and on top of your game. I like these much better than a Rolex submariner!
The Grand Seiko 60th anniversary SBGW264. My absolute favorite watch to own, and given it's limited run of only 120 pieces, I can almost guarantee that I'll never come across another one in my entire lifetime!
The Oris big crown date pointer I purchased in 2004 whilst on my honeymoon was the first watch in my collection. It remains my all-time favorite for so many reasons. You’ll never forget your first.
Brilliant Video Teddy. Always love seeing how broad the spectrum is that you cover. You leave no stone unturned....... fantastic and Thankyou for keeping us all engaged this year.
Such a comprehensive video 📹 on a subject I love. I really like your videos, you have a great eye , and depth of knowledge on watches. My favorite on this list has to be the Zenith Defy on metal bracelet with that beautiful blue dial. Bravo!
Great video as always, Teddy. I bought the Seiko srpe53 and love it. I got it for a great price at only $165. It looks great and the bracelet is actually better than I thought it would be. Not the greatest but it looks good and wears nicely. It's running at +4 secs/day so no complaints.
Of the ones you mentioned that Oris Big Crown is amazing. I went straight to my AD and picked one up the day that they landed here in the UK. great piece for the price.
Adding the BB58 Blue AND the Oris Roberto Clemente (which my friend and watch buddy also purchased at the same time, 0069/3000 and 1969/300 - 69 DUDES!) made 2020 a kick-ass year. Not to mention your casual G-shocks, a bronze Aquatico Sea Star, and I was just that close to pulling the trigger on a Zenith Defy Classic skeleton. Way to set the table for 2021. And Teddy, great work, you're, in my opinion, becoming a strong reference in the Watch World. Cheers!
I love your end of year wrap ups and I have learned SO much since last years best of 2019. The two JLCs and the Habring are truly things I covet. The Clemente is something I must get somewhat soon considering my true love of baseball...being such an important thing in my life. it's also nice that it has to be the best looking Pointer Date of theirs. and of course the Defy had me ( and quite a few of the other guys drooling. It was one of my favorite episodes. along of course with the Ball and the Rado, the Seamaster 300... It's been such a tough year, but you along with a couple of other guys, really helped us watch enthusiasts make it through. Wishing you all the best with your new venture as an AD. A big thank you Teddy.
@TeddyBaldassare Not a Great year but amazing to finish it with your Top Picks Video!! Bless your heart you made it a affordable list. During this stressful year, you made it easier with your amazing videos. Cant thank you enough for that. Great to have you feeding our passion!! Hope next year is much better!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Teddy, I worked with a retired Navy Captain that got a submariner from his parents 30 plus years ago, and being more of a sailor than a watch guy didn't think to have it serviced until just last year when he was thinking of buying one for his son that was becoming a Navy Dentist. P.S. in one of Courtney's videos about men's watches I asked her if she had seen the Ventura.
i purchased a full yellow gold tone Seiko Superman 5 SRPE74. basically an enhanced dressy SKX with very elegant and classy bezel which totally changed the looks , especially in fully silver, yellow gold or Rose Gold looks ( the 3 options)
Covering wide price ranges make watching Teddys reviews very interesting , he kind of puts in perspective the desire to purchase the $ 55 000 luxury dream watch and settle for nice one, but more down to earth one pricewise . Thank you for your great work.
Thanks for a great vid Teddy. I really discovered Hamilton this year. Bought the 38mm Khaki Field Automatic...I never expected such high quality for around $500 US.. reminds me of my old Omega Aqua Terra for 20% of the price. Really recommend you guys to try on Hamilton watches....... also look forward to seeing the new Speedy Pro when that comes out. Very intriguing. Here's to a good 2021 and thank you again xx
A few years ago I gave away to my two sons my two, treasured, AUTOMATICS: A BULOVA DAY DATE; A OMEGA SOLID 22K GOLD CASE DAY DATE. Both had belonged to my DAD. The Bulova he bought. The OMEGA was a gift from my Grandma, his Mother-In-Law, which she bought and brought with her from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
That video was stellar. Professional. Wow. Pure eye candy for us watchaholics. The Grand Seiko is art on your wrist both visually and mechanically. A Monet.
3 days ago a got my red Kamasu, i've been hunting this watch all year long until a saw it under 300 US, bought it for 270 total. Very happy with this watch.
Two purchases I was extremely satisfied with were the Baltic Bicompax & the Lorier Neptune. Both the simplicity & vintage look of these watches make them beautiful I believe.
My favorite new release of the year overall is the Silver Snoopy. I can't stop lusting and dreaming of this one. I did pick up 2 new for 2020 watches this year: Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium which is very, very nice and a perfect every day watch; additionally last week I scored an SPB143 out of sheer luck and really like it. I'm not a Seiko fanboy by any means (this is actually my first) but I do really like this one (minus the bracelet which came off before I left the AD). Teddy, best of luck in 2021 and keep doing great content!
Hreat video Teddy !!! I purchased a seiko spb149j when the came out and absolutely love that watch . The watch that really piqued my interest was the Oris Roberto Clemente pointer date . Absolutely grabbed at me so I'm definitely going to check 1 out . Thanx for a great year of informative videos . All the best , Tim
Great video - thoughtful and original take on a surprisingly good year for watches (if little else!). I'd certainly agree with your Seiko 5 and JLC (both) choices. Good to see some recognition for the Zenith Defy Classic too. My two watches of the year are the Habring2 Felix Chrono (both copper and panda) and one you didn't cover, the Longines Spirit. Longines have so stepped up with this classy, classic, versatile, robust, sporty watch! Choices of strap, bracelet, face colour, size, even chrono. Man, one-watch home run!
New to the channel but I have to say your content is absolutely fantastic. Plenty of details, great camerawork, and no bull. You got a new sub with me for sure
I love the Tudor Black Bay 58 so much... I was so happy when they released a blue dial variant, not because I like the blue dial more but because I know that most people would go for the blue dial which means that I can get the black version more easily... 😂😂😂😂😂
good reviews. i see u covered both luxury and regular watch price points. i bought a Zenith Defy Classic 21 skeleton this year. my favorite till now. Also have an Omega Coaxial moonhpase watch, also fantastic.
Great video Teddy. I don’t leave as many comments as I should, but I do really enjoy your Channel and its content. I really like how efficient you are in your description of the various watches you comment on, and your work is always tastefully crafted. Great job!. One watch which I fell in love with quickly is the Omega watch (in this video) that had the orange? Indices on the dial. Af first I thought it was a bit much, but the more I looked at it, the more I appreciated its beauty. Anyway, thanks for the interesting video...Ed
Many thanks for another great video Teddy! I have enjoyed your reviews very much this year mate and am already looking forward to more in 2021! Have a great Xmas and good riddance to 2020!
Purchased 2 Christopher Ward C60 divers this year and there may be more in the future. They are top spec watches and look great on the wrist. With one of the best warranties in the business this brand is a no brainer. 👍🏻😷
There were so many great releases in 2020. I really like the GS Four Seasons, the JLC Reverso Duo Face (blue dial), the Rolex OP in Tiffany Blue, and the Omega Speedmaster Professional Silver Snoopy 50th Anniversary.
Since you bring up the Railmaster (standard, not the 57), one is on my wrist now as I type this. It was my major watch purchase for the year. Love it. Highly underrated, to the point where not only does any Omega AD have them in stock but they are discounted. I got 20% off. One thing about it - it is heavy. I think it's as heavy as my Seiko Samurai. Took me a few days to get used to how heavy it is for a 40mm steel watch. I think the bracelet being so solid is part of the reason for the weight.
The more I watch your channel, the more I think I need a Reverso. Damnit. Favorite watch release of the year - price whinging aside - was the Seiko SPB199J1. I managed to track down a new one at retail here in the US and it is excellent. My daily prior to the Seiko was an Oris BCPD in bronze, but the Seiko is a touch more wearable with the stainless case. I know some are upset with the price on this piece, but the dial is gorgeous and the two straps it ships with are top notch.
The modern submariner is UGLY. The black bay line is infinitely more pleasing, to my eyes. Absolutely love the Defy Classic and am tracking used ones on Chrono24 for sure. Agree with the Tissot Gentleman as a best of - I have had this for about 6 months now, and between it and my BB36, they are all I wear anymore. The blue dial gentleman on a good black suede strap is just incredible, such a value.
mate, love your selections. That reverso and the zenith are spectacular - love the hamilton, oris and seiko are stunning too!!! To rise to your challenge of best watch I have bought this year - snuck into your underwhelmed list ha ha but I got the Sub and love it - it's the Kermit/Cermit/Starbuck which I think you offered some slack - but it rocks my world!!! Great video as ever!!
Another comprehensive and informative video teddy. I'll have to make a tough decision between the grand seiko sbga and tudor black bay. Also, being from Pittsburgh, I wasn't aware of the Roberto clemente oris!
Sometimes I hate having big wrists. Even 40mm watches looking small on me. My Vostok looks small coming in at 40mm. I honestly prefer 43 - 44mm, and that's not oversized for me. It really cuts down on my options.
I bought two pieces in 2020, a Seiko SRPE63 (blue dial) and the Oris Roberto Clemente Big Crown Pointer Date. Maybe for the benefit of my wallet, I should refrain from clicking on your videos because currently I have my eye squarely on the Grand Seiko SBGA415 (Winter). You are certainly a bad influence, LOL! Still, I greatly appreciate the hard work and the excellent coverage you give these pieces. Your professionalism is exemplary.
The more and more I see Oris the more I appreciate what they’re doing, the Aquis is amazing and they’re an independent Swiss made watch. Omega is the realm I’m looking to get into next speedmaster or seamaster but for what you get with the Oris Aquis and the styles they come in are hard to beat for their price range. Also the dial on the GS snowflake..
Always refreshing to see your choices and hear your thoughts on watches. Yes Rolex make great products that many customers really want to own. However if you are buying either on a budget, a keeper for a modest collection and understand these will mostly but not all fall in value unlike a Rolex. These super interesting and great looking timepieces you presented are well worth being highlighted. Thank you. Merry Christmas Teddy.

Did you get called 'baldasshole' in school?
Wounder what your thoughts were on the recent Zenith ultraviolet,been getting a bit of attention on social media
My favourite watch of 2020 was probably the Sinn 103 Sa G
that timex looks like a toy

That GS is flipping amazing. All white/silver/light pink with that pop of gold. Damn.
Would that be a Freudian slip?
@@GFSwinger1693 why lol
Thanks for your honesty! I don't think there are many YT watch reviewers who will remind their audience that the new Submariner was "meh".
Well if you expected a lot of change (apart from the brand new movement, but hey, who cares) in design you don't know what Rolex has been about these last decades and why they are so successful.
Really appreciate the beautiful editing, especially with the macro shots!
Got the Tissot Gentleman as a knock about everyday piece. Still blown away by that ETA movement. Accuracy is phenomenal as is the power reserve. At the price you can’t go wrong. Classy and nicely finished. The mechanics every bit as good as the 3235 new gen Rolex movement I’ve got in my DJ41 but at a fraction of the price. Guys ETA have got this one nailed. Nice Swiss piece.
My favorite watch of 2020 is the H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Center Seconds Matrix dial
I can tell that a lot of work went into making this video. Awesome content with a ton of interesting info that's hard to disagree with. Great job!!
Well, Seiko and Grand Seiko did a pretty good job this year. I like almost every piece that came out.
Some might say they go to more pricy but there is quality for sure.
Sbge255 from GS looks amazing
I GOT 4 GRAND SEIKO 7 Y AGO FROM JAPAN, EACH WAS 1600 AUD. NOT THEY ARE EACH OF THAT WATCH AROUND 7 TO 14 THOUSAND AUD, CRAZY!!
Have begun binge watching your videos, Teddy. Thoroughly enjoyable. 👍🦘🇦🇺
I’m your #1 fan
SIMP
@@TeddyBaldassarre 😂😂😂🥺
Glad to see the Zenith Defy Classic bring regarded so high in this video. Actually been saving up for one for a while now, I can't wait to get it :)
I've been lusting after Omega and Rolex for years but lately it's the grand seiko spring drives that has captivated my attention.
I got the grey dial variant of the seiko 5 and it’s my everyday watch. I love it! Under 200 bucks, you can’t beat it! Solid list btw 👊🏽 here’s to 2021!
Some people don't realize how complicated is to make a watch from scratch and make it fully functional and to run perfectly fine, is insane when I watch these guys holding a microscope in their eyes and assembling piece by piece these watches is outstanding 😱
Wow! That Grand Seiko dial is amazing... hypnotic amazing.
I put it on my wrist at the dealer. Did not buy it. It looks better the video. But in reality， color is very pale. I suppose you have to see it yourself
If you want to buy.
Spot on about Timex. At those prices id rather get an Orient, a lot cheaper.
The most expensive watch I bought was the Omega Railmaster which is such a classic and speaks for itself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of elegant watches.
I agree with your choices of Grand Seiko, Tudor & Omega. My favourite watch of this year which was released at the end of 2019 was the Orient Star Sports Outdoor in Green.

Great video, please do a review of this Orient Mountaineer as you will not be disappointed!
Great video! Your review convinced me to get the JLC Master Control Chronograph Calendar; I need to stop watching your channel for the health of my wallet 😂
Haha sorry buddy! What a beautiful piece though. Classy and a great choice!
is it a new release the JLC chrono calendar for this year ?
@@RickyRicon2023 yup! Was released at Watches and Wonders this year in April
Congrats !!
Very nice choice 👍🏻
Great video, Teddy!
For me the watches that jump out at me were the:

I had the black but all the rose gold over the face was to much pink for me. I got rid and got the blue. It’s stunning in person
The Grand Seiko 60th anniversary SBGW264. My absolute favorite watch to own, and given it's limited run of only 120 pieces, I can almost guarantee that I'll never come across another one in my entire lifetime!
We all thank you for choosing not to cover the “new” Rolex’s that came out this year. Thank you for not wasting our time
nothing is in the same league as that reverso
It is insanely original and lovely, isn't it? Sorry, Patek.
We need a collection update pls!
You might like asorockwatches.com. It is a luxury affordable lifestyle watch brand inspired by Africa. They do ship worldwide.
2:50 teddy: "i'd love to see more of this in the future"
Seiko: say no more 😆
The Oris big crown date pointer I purchased in 2004 whilst on my honeymoon was the first watch in my collection. It remains my all-time favorite for so many reasons. You’ll never forget your first.
Brilliant Video Teddy. Always love seeing how broad the spectrum is that you cover. You leave no stone unturned....... fantastic and Thankyou for keeping us all engaged this year.
Such a comprehensive video 📹 on a subject I love. I really like your videos, you have a great eye , and depth of knowledge on watches. My favorite on this list has to be the Zenith Defy on metal bracelet with that beautiful blue dial. Bravo!
If you’re looking for something different and want a beautiful salmon dial I think Fears new Brunswick salmon is just gorgeous..my two cents anyways
The GS SBGA413 dial is ridiculously good!
Great video as always, Teddy. I bought the Seiko srpe53 and love it. I got it for a great price at only $165. It looks great and the bracelet is actually better than I thought it would be. Not the greatest but it looks good and wears nicely. It's running at +4 secs/day so no complaints.
Great video Teddy! I love your balanced take on watches of all types and price points.
Of the ones you mentioned that Oris Big Crown is amazing. I went straight to my AD and picked one up the day that they landed here in the UK. great piece for the price.
The one thing that prevents me from purchasing a Seamaster 300 is that Vintage Lume, do a couple offerings with regular lume.
Hi Teddy. The Big Crown Oris Roberto Clemente is stunning! The white dial and all of the design just works perfectly! It's beautiful!
Thank you for the hard work you put into your excellent videos. Happy Holidays!
Happy holidays Brian!
Adding the BB58 Blue AND the Oris Roberto Clemente (which my friend and watch buddy also purchased at the same time, 0069/3000 and 1969/300 - 69 DUDES!) made 2020 a kick-ass year. Not to mention your casual G-shocks, a bronze Aquatico Sea Star, and I was just that close to pulling the trigger on a Zenith Defy Classic skeleton. Way to set the table for 2021. And Teddy, great work, you're, in my opinion, becoming a strong reference in the Watch World. Cheers!
I love your end of year wrap ups and I have learned SO much since last years best of 2019. The two JLCs and the Habring are truly things I covet. The Clemente is something I must get somewhat soon considering my true love of baseball...being such an important thing in my life. it's also nice that it has to be the best looking Pointer Date of theirs. and of course the Defy had me ( and quite a few of the other guys drooling. It was one of my favorite episodes. along of course with the Ball and the Rado, the Seamaster 300... It's been such a tough year, but you along with a couple of other guys, really helped us watch enthusiasts make it through. Wishing you all the best with your new venture as an AD. A big thank you Teddy.
Thank you Michael! I definitely took notice of your many comments throughout the year. Thanks for coming along on the journey!
@TeddyBaldassare Not a Great year but amazing to finish it with your Top Picks Video!! Bless your heart you made it a affordable list. During this stressful year, you made it easier with your amazing videos. Cant thank you enough for that. Great to have you feeding our passion!! Hope next year is much better!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Great yearender video! Totally enjoyed just looking at those spectacular watches!!

i purchased a full yellow gold tone Seiko Superman 5 SRPE74. basically an enhanced dressy SKX with very elegant and classy bezel which totally changed the looks , especially in fully silver, yellow gold or Rose Gold looks ( the 3 options)
Thanks Teddy, I always look forward to your end of Year reviews. ( I put in a Bid on a Ball Vanderbilt Conductor Watch)
Thanks for your videos! Good to get some ideas coming from a brand new watch collector!
Covering wide price ranges make watching Teddys reviews very interesting , he kind of puts in perspective the desire to purchase the $ 55 000 luxury dream watch and settle for nice one, but more down to earth one pricewise . Thank you for your great work.
This year I got my first higher end watch with the Stowa marine 40mm with Roman numerals. Love it! Keep up the great work Teddy!

Enjoy.
A few years ago I gave away to my two sons my two, treasured, AUTOMATICS: A BULOVA DAY DATE; A OMEGA SOLID 22K GOLD CASE DAY DATE. Both had belonged to my DAD. The Bulova he bought.

Just loving the zenith wow a moment in time the markers are just stunning the case is just a beautiful design
Glashutte Seaq 39.5 blue. Beauty
Thanks for your honest review on these watches. Great collection!
I tried the JLC piece on and I have not been able to stop thinking about it since.
Reserve Commander I bet!

Thanks for the outstanding and enjoyable video.
Bought SRPE53 because of you. Got it for a stunning 175 USD new in india.
Thank you. I love it. So does everyone else. The dial is a looker.
@2:55 what is wrong with liking something that has been hyped up, if the watch merits the hype?
Two purchases I was extremely satisfied with were the Baltic Bicompax & the Lorier Neptune. Both the simplicity & vintage look of these watches make them beautiful I believe.
Rhhhhhhhbtuyi
Great job Teddy. Your videos are always amazing. Keep up the good work.

No Omega Snoopy 50 on the list? Definitely has my vote
2020 was my introduction to the world of watches. I love my Seiko 5 and am now a bit of a watch nerd. Oops.
same I got a brand new 40mm submariner last summer I love it.
I wonder why the Bulova doesn't hit your radar. I think they have some great models and technologies for the price.
I love the Tudor Black Bay 58 so much...
I was so happy when they released a blue dial variant, not because I like the blue dial more but because I know that most people would go for the blue dial which means that I can get the black version more easily... 😂😂😂😂😂
Great video--thoroughly enjoyed the delivery. Cheers!
good reviews. i see u covered both luxury and regular watch price points. i bought a Zenith Defy Classic 21 skeleton this year. my favorite till now. Also have an Omega Coaxial moonhpase watch, also fantastic.
Great video Teddy. I don’t leave as many comments as I should, but I do really enjoy your Channel and its content. I really like how efficient you are in your description of the various watches you comment on, and your work is always tastefully crafted. Great job!. One watch which I fell in love with quickly is the Omega watch (in this video) that had the orange? Indices on the dial. Af first I thought it was a bit much, but the more I looked at it, the more I appreciated its beauty. Anyway, thanks for the interesting video...Ed
Many thanks for another great video Teddy! I have enjoyed your reviews very much this year mate and am already looking forward to more in 2021! Have a great Xmas and good riddance to 2020!
Purchased 2 Christopher Ward C60 divers this year and there may be more in the future. They are top spec watches and look great on the wrist. With one of the best warranties in the business this brand is a no brainer. 👍🏻😷
The best RUclips channels about watches :)
Very honored 🙌🏻 thank you
The Oris is my favourite in this list. Would have added the Longines Diver Legend though
Great video, truly well thought out and presented. Thankyou.
my love my grand seiko. really unbeatable.
in future would to see reviewing a luminor panerai by you
That Hamilton is just so nice - am shocked not more people go for them, as an alternative to Casios maybe.
I own one watch, a citizen eco drive, but man, when I can afford one of these beautiful automatics, I’m gonna use this channel as a reference.
Oris big crown all day. Love your work, Teddy!
There were so many great releases in 2020. I really like the GS Four Seasons, the JLC Reverso Duo Face (blue dial), the Rolex OP in Tiffany Blue, and the Omega Speedmaster Professional Silver Snoopy 50th Anniversary.
Digging the Hamilton Chronograph
Since you bring up the Railmaster (standard, not the 57), one is on my wrist now as I type this. It was my major watch purchase for the year. Love it. Highly underrated, to the point where not only does any Omega AD have them in stock but they are discounted. I got 20% off.
One thing about it - it is heavy. I think it's as heavy as my Seiko Samurai. Took me a few days to get used to how heavy it is for a 40mm steel watch. I think the bracelet being so solid is part of the reason for the weight.
I bought the Seiko 5... very impressed !
you just can't beat a grand Seiko !
The more I watch your channel, the more I think I need a Reverso. Damnit. Favorite watch release of the year - price whinging aside - was the Seiko SPB199J1. I managed to track down a new one at retail here in the US and it is excellent. My daily prior to the Seiko was an Oris BCPD in bronze, but the Seiko is a touch more wearable with the stainless case. I know some are upset with the price on this piece, but the dial is gorgeous and the two straps it ships with are top notch.
The modern submariner is UGLY. The black bay line is infinitely more pleasing, to my eyes.
Absolutely love the Defy Classic and am tracking used ones on Chrono24 for sure. Agree with the Tissot Gentleman as a best of - I have had this for about 6 months now, and between it and my BB36, they are all I wear anymore. The blue dial gentleman on a good black suede strap is just incredible, such a value.
mate, love your selections. That reverso and the zenith are spectacular - love the hamilton, oris and seiko are stunning too!!! To rise to your challenge of best watch I have bought this year - snuck into your underwhelmed list ha ha but I got the Sub and love it - it's the Kermit/Cermit/Starbuck which I think you offered some slack - but it rocks my world!!! Great video as ever!!
Another comprehensive and informative video teddy. I'll have to make a tough decision between the grand seiko sbga and tudor black bay. Also, being from Pittsburgh, I wasn't aware of the Roberto clemente oris!
Wonderful and positive spin on an otherwise very challenging year. And awesome list of Rolex - alternatives as well as microbrand watches. Thank you.
Tudor did a great job with the new black bay
Sometimes I hate having big wrists. Even 40mm watches looking small on me. My Vostok looks small coming in at 40mm. I honestly prefer 43 - 44mm, and that's not oversized for me. It really cuts down on my options.
I bought two pieces in 2020, a Seiko SRPE63 (blue dial) and the Oris Roberto Clemente Big Crown Pointer Date. Maybe for the benefit of my wallet, I should refrain from clicking on your videos because currently I have my eye squarely on the Grand Seiko SBGA415 (Winter). You are certainly a bad influence, LOL! Still, I greatly appreciate the hard work and the excellent coverage you give these pieces. Your professionalism is exemplary.
The more and more I see Oris the more I appreciate what they’re doing, the Aquis is amazing and they’re an independent Swiss made watch. Omega is the realm I’m looking to get into next speedmaster or seamaster but for what you get with the Oris Aquis and the styles they come in are hard to beat for their price range. Also the dial on the GS snowflake..
the clemente watch is such a looker; i'd jump if they make it in 38mm
Always refreshing to see your choices and hear your thoughts on watches. Yes Rolex make great products that many customers really want to own. However if you are buying either on a budget, a keeper for a modest collection and understand these will mostly but not all fall in value unlike a Rolex.
These super interesting and great looking timepieces you presented are well worth being highlighted.
Thank you.
Merry Christmas Teddy.
Nice job on this one Teddy. Very nice selection. Thanks
