5 Watches That Are Perfect Fits for Enthusiasts & Collectors

[@Snapcracklepop541]

I finally met Teddy in his store today after watching ALL of his videos and buying some watches from him. He’s as humble and amazing in person as he is in his videos, and I hope more Clevelanders support his business!

[@joseherrera8489]

Lucky. I got a chance to be in Cleveland a little while back but forgot it was a holiday and the store was closed on that day. I even had on my 39mm Zulu Spirit Time as I had bought it off him and was ready to buy another watch in person.

[@markiesmark]

Teddy and Nico are the best. Recently got into luxury watches and have spent days catching up on all their content they've posted over the years. Such a pleasure to watch and there's no one better then Teddy when it comes to talking about watches. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for all you do for the community.

[@BradyPuryear]

1. Grand Seiko putting the spring driver power reserve on the back of the movement instead of the dial. 2. Longines shorter lugs on the Spirt (Something Nomos won’t do) 3. Gshock making a metal CasiOak 4. Patek changing their warranty period for 2 to 5 years. 5. Blancpain 42mm Fifty Fathoms 6. Every brand who has converted thier bracelet to quick exchange. and I’m sure theres more.

[@adammacfarland6415]

+1 for GS power reserve. Although I did find one that was less offensive in the SBGE225. I’m sure there are a few more, but the ones that have the section carved into the dial are terrible.

[@highsoflyify]

You can get the Casioak as modified models in metal. It's around 200€

[@NCSheriff7]

Imagine talking about watch warranty when you cant afford a patek to begin with

[@highsoflyify]

@@NCSheriff7 Some people rather like to buy a nice car for the same amount of money 🤷🏼‍♂️ And it's still weak from a brand that costs WAY more than e.g. Tudor, Breitling or Omega to have 3 years less of warranty

IWC Mark XX is my most worn watch. And the bracelet is perfect.

[@dukes70]

IWC does make a fantastic bracelet for the Mark brand !

[@koolpep]

Agree - just wore it for 10 days straight on my travels and it's a perfect watch to wear daily

[@Sumerdini]

I like steel spitfire more 😁

[@TyreAlmasri]

Picked up a MAMACOO'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!

[@randalnanfito]

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MaMaCoo 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.

[@ptbreak38]

I would love to see a Tudor BB 58 on a jubilee two tone matching the gilt on the dial and bezel, or perhaps an all steel brushed to match the case.

[@LouisMorales-zx3jm]

The Tag Heuer Glassbox is amazing. Bought it last year. Hadn't looked TH way in ages. Now i am eyeing the new Aquaracer just released June 1st dial and specs for price is very appealing for my next purchase.

[@Eric-i1r]

Excellent work, T-Bone. All great choices. I’m on a Tudor kick lately, but I’m going to look up that Tag.

[@harveysmith330]

Great video, Teddy. I bought the BB-Pro in 2022 but couldn't resist the improvements of the updated BB 58gmt. I absolutely love this watch. With only a 6.5-inch wrist, I would like to see a 40mm Bulova Lunar Pilot.

[@theenavybluemonster]

For the BB58 GMT, I need 2 things to change. Change the gilt to white/silver/light grey and the option for a 5 link bracelet.

[@stu632]

Good video as usual Teddy. I am in the honeymoon phase of my BB58 Bronze, I could have got the 58 GMT, but the Charles Bronzon just seemed a bit more special. I loved it when it came out 2 years ago, but no boutiques in Switzerland until this year.

[@AshleyAlgire]

[@tomhermann6558]

Grand Seiko - the bracelets. Real chance to break free if they can do a T Fit style bracelet.

[@DragomirBozhkov]

The bracelet is the answer for a lot of my would-be favorite GADAs. BB58's fake rivets - check; BB39's lack of oyster option - check; Aqua Terra's polished centerlinks - check; ProPilotX's lack of microadjustment - check. I don't want to have to spend extra for a decent bracelet when I'm dropping north of $4k on a watch.

[@Kasteel1]

Love watching these videos! A watch really represents to me, where I am in life, and to look back where I was at the time buying that watch. At the moment I am rocking a Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 and a Certina DS-1 with blue leather strap. For the milestones in my next 5 years I think of treating myself with the Longines Conquest blue dial, Tag Heuer Carrera blue dial and strap or maybe a Tudor black bay. In 10 or 15 years I will certainly be at the big boy watches. Can't wait to achieve the next milestone in life, and start working to the next ones!

[@RogerHayes-j3f]

Helpful and informative video Teddy❤

[@scott7841]

Glad to hear Teddy included the IWC Mark XX in this video. It truly is a GADA watch, offering several improvements over the previous model. As for the Tudor BB 58 GMT "Coke" watch, I would've liked it better without the gilt, which would have allowed the red on the bezel to "pop" more.

[@impact_220]

Panerai are nice collectors watches as well imo. They have a unique look and great on wrist presence. You can wear it casually and depending on model/colorway, you can even look great in a suit with one on your wrist.

[@Eduardinca]

Teddy I recommend you check out the new Tag Heuer Aquaracer. It now has 42mm, an amazing wave dial and cosc certification. Great video as always, I just purchased a Longines Conquest 38mm because of you!

[@DawnPeterson-l8h]

I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of amzwatch. Their watches are of exceptional quality.

That Conquest is really lovely, esp in person. It makes an impression.

[@timkatsapas]

I want Tissot to bring a 36 or 38mm Gentleman! I was ready to pull the trigger on the gentleman and when I tried it on, nope - too big for me. It wears really large even though the case isn't necessarily massive. I know others would love a smaller model too. I would immediately purchase a 38mm Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 with silicium spring in green 💚 LIKE YESTERDAY!

[@James-pl2oy]

IWC’s Mark XX just showed up out of nowhere. One day I was looking at their website and all of a sudden there it was. Released without any fanfare. In those early days the XX was still sold alongside the XVIII in the online boutique

[@broncokatze]

Omega Seamaster 300: if they did away with the helium escape valve or at least made it flush with the case, this would be hands down my favorite diver. Cartier Santos-Dumont: i would love to see a Santos-Dumont medium with a mechanical movement. Nomos Orion: shorter lugs on the larger case sizes.

[@BretMcCuistion]

Great video Teddy - love all the brands you featured. Looking forward to the event next weekend!

[@davidlittle6621]

Love the Conquest. One of these days I hope to be able to afford one of those.

Maybe you could do a video on movie watches one day. Aside from the Omega x Bond connection, Hamilton has amazingly been featured in many films. You showcased Interstellar but they’ve also collaborated with Men In Black, Tenet and, most recently, Indiana Jones 5

[@johnjuarez8005]

The Glass Box is the winner!

[@mchugey]

Another fantastic video, I really wish Tudor would update the bracelet on the M79830rb-0001 and M79830rb-0010 BB GMTs, they were released around the same time as the release of the quick micro adjustment, why didn't they just include it? Or even a jubilee bracelet? Such a shame for such an underrated watch.

[@markdickerson3486]

Nice job like you always do Teddy! Nicely done!

[@MrPleers]

Indeed, that Longines looks great.

[@GOD999MODE]

Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT probably my go-to for premium. Seiko Alpinist is the tried and true daily.

[@gavinwhite9743]

Great video, good job. I've never really got IWC as a brand.

[@CapttTob]

If I may something on the IWC, the Mark XX is an amazing watch, however I would also highlight the Pilot 36 (IW324010) similar look&feel (black dial matching date wheel) in 36 mm (although wears as a 38). To be honest wanted to buy the MarkXX and bought the other one instead

[@CaptainJerry-]

Hello Mr. Baldassarre, I enjoy your show over others. I am taking your advice about not spending my food money on watches; learning to collect versus accumulate! Zulu Time is a smart man's watch!

[@LauraKnotek]

I'm happy to see Tissot release a 40mm Seastar 1000. I liked the design of that watch, but 42mm was too big. The smaller size is perfect for me.

[@shumailiqbal5420]

1. tudor pelagos with less text on lower part of the dial. 2. tissot visodate with smaller lugs. i would like visodate in blocks and not cursive. day date window more close to 3hour marker. a bit lume will also be appreciated.

[@jesuisnoach]

You should do a video on Nivada. They’ve been killing it lately with the F77, Chronoking and the Antarctic line. Very underrated brand.

[@chaoseus]

Longines Conquest 38mm! ❤

[@donnie.smith.5]

Great take as always! I was able to get the new Tudor Monochrome and just love it. I’ll get the BB GMT also, but was wondering and hoping they may bring that out next year in the “Batman.” If they do, I will be first in line! One other thing and it’s kind of petty, but not a big fan of brands releasing pieces and not really making it available to the Gen Pop. Would love to get a Pink Panda!

[@6172crew1]

Use the same specs as the 90s GMT2 master and I’m in. In person the older coke seems so much smaller than what we see today. Thin is in.

[@rafficrashid867]

Thank you for the videos Teddy. I really love them.

[@chrisjaenike8865]

Two of the best (or at least my favorite) watches are dimished greatly in my estimation by having date windows placed at 4:30 -- Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and Zenith Chronomaster Sport. Both would be far superior w/out the date window at all. (As a general proposition my order of preference for a date window is: (a) none, (b) @6pm (c) @noon (v rare, I know), (d) @3p, (e) 4-4:30. The 4-4:30 position is awful in terms of symmetry/balance. PLEASE Blancpain and Zenith, ditch those date windows.

[@CobraMcGavin]

One thing I would change about the Seamaster 300m that’s holding me back… I don’t need the helium escape valve, increases the bulk that I don’t need

[@Relo67]

Interesting episode. The new Tudor GMT Master Chronometer rated at 39mm intrigues me. What’s stopping me from getting is the date on a white background. Would rather have a no date and a dial colour that’s not black. I use to like baton hour markers but as my tastes change, I’m moving over to round hour markers. Somehow it’s more in harmony like a circle within a circle. Hope you can review the PEREN Regia watch whose design language is similar to Dietrich Skin Diver. My kind of designs.

[@KeepingWatchUK]

The date window colouring matches the other markers around the dial. Making it black might make it look odd imho, like something ‘missing’ at 3pm? Not including a date altogether on a GMT doesn’t really make sense.

[@greenjihad3390]

I'd have to say Hamilton's revision of their Khaki Navy Scuba. The original was a sports watch with only 100 meters water resistance and 40 mm case. The latest version is 300 mm water resistance and a 43 mm case. A lot of collectors passed it by, but don't have to any longer.

[@jimlightanddark]

Great video, Teddy! I would love to see a Seamaster 300m GMT in the same format as the Hydroconquest GMT with a dive bezel rather than a 24 hour bezel. I’d buy it and take it around the world 🌎

[@blaineadams9986]

I love my Traska blue face Summiteer.

[@MaryDoherty-q6b]

mamacoo 's watches are worth it！

[@marquisdaily7715]

The Baume & Mercier Riviera 50th anniversary issue has been great, especially the grey version with copper accents. I was looking at the latest Rado Anatom, but cannot decide if I like it or not, mostly because I cannot place the brand, its specs vs their price point. If only a talented KZbinr could shade some light on it 😅

[@manofthehour_]

Mark XX on a bracelet is one of the best everyday watches you can get for the price - heavily discounted off retail of course!

[@tatanleanduck]

This channel is how I spend my planning period. I could be grading papers, but where's the fun in that?

[@LuisAraujo-h4d]

amzwatch is best watch factory!!!

[@jim9win]

My thing is everybody want to watch to go deeper. I am a certified scuba diver and I do not wear any of my watches to go diving. I use a diving computer also pass 100 feet is quite extremely deep for the average diver. Be safe. Keep the video.Coming

[@etebol]

I agree with you. I don’t understand everyone’s fascination with their watch depth rating. 99% don’t dive and probably never will, but hey! Watch people are 100% irrational.

[@labourse]

PADI states that diving below 30m (100 feet) is beyond "recreational" diving. Diving below 40m is for those few well trained professionals. Thus a watch depth rating has little to do with real diving but more so as a marketing tool for customers who are interested in prestige of a luxury brand. Further, who in their right mind would take a multi-thousand dollar luxury watch diving below 15m? Modern computer diving watches for a few hundred dollars have many more functions that report safety features for a diver such as ascent rest stops, decompression time, complete dive history and more.

[@gabem1324]

Few ideas: 1.) More open caseback GMTs please: i.e: 1. Tudor GMTs: lighter, thiner, more colorful watches and open casebacks please 2. Mido Ocean Star GMT open caseback 3. Baltic Aquascaphe open caseback 4. Zodiac GMT and Worldtimer open caseback 5. Lorca GMT open caseback 6. Longines Zulu Time and Hyrocoquest GMTs with open caseback 2.) Cheaper GMTs: i.e: Oris Orca, Accutron, Bell&Ross, Norquain, Nomos GMTs under $2000 please

[@tmlioulios]

Excellent work Ted! Loving what Longines are doing at the moment. I think the HydroConquest is a very underrated piece. Would love to see you do a deep dive on that one (pun intended).

[@drnick40]

To me Tudor is the Rolex brand for us, the watch enthusiasts. I love almost everything they release, and I am sure that some releases like the BB58 will become classics in the future.

I’d love you see Tag Heuer have a legit field watch for outdoors type people. Their old solunar comes to mind. It would be awesome to have the Tide complication. It would appeal to hikers, surfers, anglers, birders and anyone out on the ocean. Plus it’s just a cool complication that’s rarely used.

[@michaelnikonfuji3539]

The re-release of a 36mm explorer was the “yes finally!” for me

[@drfranke]

Great video.

[@shafff78]

I feel like I’m finally getting close to being able to step up and get something higher end…and instead I want to buy four Longines models. Feels dumb. But can’t look away from Spirit, Zulu time, Lefend Diver 39 (love the updates it has more than the size) and conquest…probably in 41

[@kreiman770]

IWC with the Big Pilot 43mm feels like it also meets this criteria, by delivering one of their most iconic cases in a more wearable size.

[@redmatter]

Teddy I’m surprised to say it, but I think the next brand you need to be selling is Tag. Their recent design language is really nailing it, and I can’t believe the buzz they’re generating at least in the circles I travel in. Since you stay on top of everything I’m sure you know Frederic Arnold (Bernard’s son) took over recently. There’s just a lot of interesting stuff going on there. Definitely keeping an eye on that company.

[@johnmalls3603]

Teddy I have two wishes that major brands would do which are kind of the same thing. I know Panerai have been making a huge effort to make there watches smaller but I would still like a Radomir in something under 40mm. Also I think a major area of taste almost none of the major brands are addressing is SQUARE watches and with that square watches that are mid to small as any square watches are 40mm. why not have some slimmer square watches in 36-38mm that are simple and tasteful or even just repeat the styling of their round counterparts. Imagine a 38mm square Conquest for example. Square watches all we have is Cartiers which I dislike. I like the Mido big date but every square watch feels the need to take cues from Gerald Genta. I think Minase are doing some interesting things with square watches and I really like the RAYMOND WEIL Freelancer....In fact this is the kind of watch im really after but if it was a hair smaller at say 38 it would be perfect dimensions. I think this kind of watch isn't being catered for imo.

[@mikek6478]

Nice Video, Teddy! I would buy the Mark 20 (in blue) today if the watch had the same size proportions of the Mark 15.

[@RubenO.K.]

I would love to have an ECO Drive version of the Bulova Lunar Pilot 43 mm as well as a solar powered Mondaine Stop2Go. I just hate having to swap Batteries on a Quartz. I even wrote to Citizen and Mondaine about this. 🤓 Citizen actually responded that they will consider my suggestion, for whatever that’s worth. 😅

[@ryangochuico]

Tudor Pelagos 39 with date and maybe add master chronometer to the movement although just having a date would be perfect. Edit: Blackbay 41 monochrome with date is also a nice addition

[@pbbbht]

My Hamilton Khaki Bronze is one of the two watches that get the most wrist time in my collection. 🎉 If it disappeared today, I’d have it replaced with another one before I went to bed tonight.

[@TheWmac67]

Teddy, you have long been a proponent of Longines. One that I don't hear you mention is the Ultra-Chron. Something about that watch I love, am I missing something? Doesn't feel Teddy worthy!

[@mohabgamal90]

I would love to see Nomos Tangente in 41mm, definitely would buy that watch.

[@albertsylvester2981]

ALL THE WATCHES ARE AWESOME BUT I WOULD RATHER GO FOR THE GRAND SEIKO THAN THE TUDOR IF YOU LOOK ON AMAZON THE TUDOR IS 3 TO 5 THOUSAND BUT AWESOME VIDEO THANKS

[@AmpsNL]

Grand Seikos with a clasp with micro adjustment.

[@jimh1461]

The clasp Longines Spirit Zulu Time. I’ve came so close to buying that watch multiple times. It’s almost the perfect watch for the money. I just can’t get over the BIG Longines written across the whole clasp of the watch. Might sound stupid or a silly reason not to buy a watch, but that clasp just gives me Invicta vibes, and when you’re spending almost $3K for a watch. It should look like a $3K watch. That’s my hot take 😂

As a Grand Seiko fanboy, I would love to see one thing change, please for the love of god give us a diver that comes in at 40 or 41mm! We are not all wrist gifted lol. I owned two GS and everything else is just amazing but a smaller diver would become an instant classic.
