In an old video he deleted or made private, Seiko5 part 2 or something, he had a sporadic scene where he played "Reddy Bulbasaur" pitching his watch straps. It was the funniest piece of watch content on youtube, but it's gone now.

Mr. Baldassare - This is off topic, but your knowledge and videos have always been fantastic, one of my favorite KZbin channels…. Would you ever consider doing a video regarding how to negotiate (with proper etiquette) a watch purchase at an AD? Do AD’s negotiate watch prices? Is it appropriate, and if so how to go about it? Thank you.

@2ndmoonman 4 ай бұрын

Would be cool for sure

@nattylo18 4 ай бұрын

My philosophy is that it never hurts to ask. I was able to snag an extra alligator strap for my Longines at their store in NYC. When you do negotiate though, be prepared to buy.

The things I love most about your channel, is that in these videos you already state in the tile how many brands it is. Plus in f.e. the moon phase watches video and other videos similar you state the rules for how and why you chose watches right at the beginning. That's so helpful for viewing and understanding

@KrisCoffield 5 ай бұрын

I love my Max Bill, which the first watch over $1,000 that I purchased. I don't know if it qualifies as "iconic," but the Tudor 1926 is a watch at the top of this range that is tremendous value for money. You've discussed it many times on your channel. For the price, it's very hard to beat in terms of its aesthetics, brand connection, or mechanics.

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on amzwatch 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.

@georgedobre88 5 ай бұрын

Very nice put together , just one observation - the Nomos Tangente (that everybody praise for it's design) it's basically a clone of a "Stowa Antea Kleine secunde" or other german watches (like Lange) that used the dials from the supplier "Weber&Baral" in the 1930's (inspired by the Bauhaus school). Soo - I don't know how "Iconic" a 1990's Bauhaus "hommage" watch can be... On the other hand - the Max Bill is spot on !

@yalcnkokluk7573 5 ай бұрын

Can't help but notice that your SPB143 has a leaner and pontier hour hand. Is this a limited edition or customized model? :)

@John-km9ju 5 ай бұрын

👏🏾 Thanks so much for the history lesson (I love it)! I was drawn to the Diastar (and other Rado models) back in the 90s. I was fascinated with their highly scratch resistant hardened steel technique, which has led me to own tungsten and ceramic watches today. I'm also a fan of Nomos (classic simplicity) and Zodiac (aviation inspired Dragon Wing chrono).

The Nomos Tangente is an iconic watch for sure. I have owned one, but never could I get used to its strange angulated lugs. The same "lug problem" I have with the Orion: the lugs are bizarrely elongated and sort of triangulanting which spoils the otherwise beautiful watch for me.

I've been looking into this watch the last few weeks, and I'm sooo torn about it. On one hand, it is super pretty in its simple, no-nonsense design, and said to be very durable by almost every reviewer, but on the other hand every comment section of videos about Sinn 556 is peppered with comments from people who had some unacceptable QC issues and had to send their watches straight to Sinn. It's a tough call.

@TeddyBaldassarre , awesome video as always. Really appreciate the focus on value for money. I think, however, looking into the pocket watch offerings within this price range (and slightly below) would prove to be interesting.

@matthewbarrios1028 5 ай бұрын

I have a black Rado Diastar r5.5 square chronograph blue dial with ceramic case and titanium bracelet. It is an awesome watch. However, that model of Diastar is a little above this videos budget. I got it for 50 percent off at a jeweler in New Orleans that was no longer going to be an AD for Rado. The deal was too good to pass up and I got it for $1600! That price puts it in this category but I'm sure this video is based on MSRP.
