One Luxury Watch Is Better Than Many Affordable Ones? Watch Modding? Do I Get Bored? (Q&A)

[@inbm2102]

I just want to say…you made me fall in love with watches again. Thank you so much for being so genuine, showcasing your passion and knowledge to everyone.

[@craiglibby1224]

Teddy, your response to the last question is outstanding! What watch one wears is personal. Buying a watch to flex, especially since no one cares, just seems to be a waste. Buy what you like….and can comfortably afford.

[@NothernKnifeNut]

Couldnt agree more with ya! Now in saying that, i cant lie here and say i havent let a woman talk me into buying a watch i wouldnt normal probably wear myself because she thought it looked good on me😂😂 what can ya do, its part of the watch addiction i believe 🤷

[@lamentate07]

I got back into watches last year and bought 14 (Omega, Tudor, Tag, Longines, Seiko, GS etc), and one thing I've discovered is that price doesn't equal enjoyment. There is obviously a connection between price and quality to a point, but unless you are status seeking, it does not necessarily improve the subjective wearing experience, and that's ultimately what matters, not how watches compare on specs or brand positioning. Case in point: I wear my Seiko SPB143 more than most of my more expensive watches. My only regret is diving too deeply into such an expensive 'hobby', but watches are just too beautiful to resist!😁

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

This is sound. There is little to no connection to dollars spent vs enjoyment. The only time I can say that has been the case is when I attach a watch acquisition to a goal and the money spent could be associated to a larger quest or struggle.

[@leoanthony7281]

I had the same experience as yourself last year and bought 16, traded and sold 6 of my older stock.

[@pac1fic055]

The last question was a very good one, and so was the answer. It boils down to authenticity. A watch is a very personal and functional accessory, and should bring you joy every time you look at it.

[@BruceCross]

True, buying watches to impress other people is shallow and unfulfilling. You're the customer, not them. You buy it and you wear it. You only have to please yourself.

[@Matteo.N.Cavallin]

Variety is the spice of life. I wouldn’t be happy with owning only one watch, but I think 10 is too many too.

[@5891jonathan]

High quality doesn’t necessarily mean high price. Longines, for example, offers very high quality watches at a reasonable price point. Three Longlines can be had for the price of a single Rolex. Not a bad choice.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Longines is certainly a nice sweet spot for many but there are pockets of solid differentiation at nearly every price. Like anything, watches can fall victim to diminishing returns. Your budget, design preferences, and lifestyle use case should be the guide.

[@lamentate07]

Longines do seem more 'fairly' priced than other brands for what you get. When I wear my Zulu Time and Big Eye, I don't feel ripped off, that's for sure. I'd say they are the best brand for the more 'rational' conservative buyer who wants a watch that is well above average without breaking the bank.

[@bdegrds]

Comparing longines to rolex is like comparing Toyota to mercedes. Inexpensive department store watches I don't mind, it's the fanboys who want to make them out to be something they are not that are irritating . If all you can afford is a department store watch great go enjoy, but it is and always will be a much lower quality on every level than a luxury watch.

[@lamentate07]

@@bdegrds A Rolex isn't 3 times better though, that's the point. And comparing Longines to Toyota is ridiculous. They are in the tier below Rolex. They aren't Casio. I enjoy my Longines watches just as much/almost as much as my 'higher level' pieces.

[@jimmyjam8795]

Only thing is, in terms of quality engineering Toyota wins! German cars are definitely cheapening their offerings (especially VAG).

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

Thank you Teddy. Great vid as always.

[@TimmySuperstar]

For 10k id go for 3 watches - one GS SBGX, one dress option, and a field watch like a Hanhart preventor or something in that vein. That leaves the most $ for the dress piece so you can get something really special.

[@drzaius844]

[@gravity_dog]

Modder here ✋- often times I’m creating a new design completely from scratch for specific tasks. As I watch this video I’m making a custom piece that’s designed to be worn over my snowboarding mitten for night skiing and matches my ski gear.

Thank you for what you do, and I look forward to seeing more!

[@jhrodriguez08]

I agree with Teddy you have to start with a few budget watches first, but I would recommend this do not and I repeat do not buy cheap Seikos if you care about accuracy because you are going to be disappointed, and if your budget allows probably start with Longines right off the bat !!

[@randomaccount3364]

I appreciate your response to the first question. People are often quick to answer with their opinion, and how much they regret spending on x number of watches when they could have single y watch - I believe that, just like in real life, you can only build preference once you have gathered experience. The money spent on cheaper things doesn't mean you've wasted it, it means you've refined your preferences.

[@kevins2961]

After quite a few years into watches I sold all my Rolex and a few other things and bought a Vacheron Constantin Overseas, But this is at the end of my watch journey and I enjoyed all the stops along the way.

[@Private19783]

I love this format Teddy! Couple of things I would like your opinion on in one of your videos 1. How do you determine the quality of a watch? Everyone puts out specs and there are tons of conflicting claims around quality, so how do you validate them? 2. In many cities in the U.S., not all watches are available to try on to see how it looks on your wrist. Website renders may be different from how it looks in real life. How can someone overcome that 3. It would be interesting to either have people on your show OR have persona based discussion on a watch collection journey. Like first watch, second.., mistakes, finding what you like, impulse buys etc

[@NGMonocrom]

To answer the main question: Have one really good luxury watch. But have a good quality, inexpensive quartz (or solar quartz) watch too. That way you have all your bases covered. Especially if your luxury watch stops because it's a mechanical model, and you're rushing out the door to work or appointment. A One-watch collection is fantasy. A Two-watch collection is realistic.

[@BaddogSports]

Definitely made a mistake on my first “luxury” watch purpose. Bought a Montblanc Chronograph and regretted it about a month later. I feel like I’ve done much better since. Unfortunately for me, I buy a watch, it scratches the itch, but the itch comes back in 2-3 months. Pricey hobby. I think the fact that my budget is what it is makes it fun. That, and I absolutely LOVE watches. I have issues 😂

[@RoyalDudeness]

impulse control disorder?

[@BaddogSports]

@ First buy, yes. Since then, I never buy on impulse. I don’t always “scratch the itch”

[@simonhg]

Absolutely true. You don’t know what you don’t know. But try lots of less expensive watches and figure out what you like before you throw a pile of money after one. Glashutte Original Grand Seiko really good places to start! Great video

[@jackd5604]

The biggest challenge with the Fredirique Constant guy. It really comes down to: Is the watch a long time keeper or not? If you sell the watch and you bought it at retail, you are probably going to take a big hit and it could be painful. But TB I think is right, buying what you enjoy is key. However, what you enjoy today may not tick the box manana. For me at the beginning it was name recognition Omega, Rolex but I have a collection now that I really like (15) and most of it is mid range because that is what I can afford. Seiko, Citizen and Grand Seiko with a smattering of Aliexpress. One of my favorites is the Casio Royale $20. I have also done some modding since I liked the microsurgery aspect of opening a watch. There is also the aspect of not losing your head. Watch purchasing can become a serious addiction and some people have lost family, friends and assets when spending way over their heads. I once thought of buying an A. Lange Sohne thought I could wear it and eventually flip it at the same price or profit. Big risk. Selling watches is not easy. Buy what you enjoy and consider the risk.

@25:48 Truer words have never been spoken. Embrace the fact that nobody really cares about what you do and choose and enjoy the things that make you happy.

[@AndyCutright]

Exactly my approach. You need to poke around in the shallow end first. You'll figure out what you want out of a watch, and you can't do that without exploring. I started with a Seiko Presage. Not super expensive, I knew I wanted a mechanical automatic, and I wanted a well made watch. Seiko is a venerable brand, and cranks out super well made watches. The movement is solid, but its accuracy isn't great. But you get what you pay for, and I still enjoy that Seiko. My second watch was a Timex G-Shock. Real accurate since it's quartz movement. Plus it's 200 bar, so effectively waterproof for my needs. I'm not diving, but watches get wet when swimming and or just from every day life tasks like washing dishes or gardening. Most recently I got Tudor Black Bay S&G GMT. Watches are tools, and I like precision tools. I manage computer networks, and all my logs are UTC. A good GMT is great tool for my workbench. And the Tudor keeps excellent time. Much better than the Seiko, but then again it's 10 times more expensive.

[@avip671]

These Q&As are some of your best content

[@draakisback]

That last question resonated with me as a collector. First watch I bought in my adult collecting journey was a tudor. I got a tudor because I heard they were basically Rolex but cheaper, and yet my tudor is the watch that I wear the least now (it's not because I don't like it, but rather because it's uncomfortable). For me comfort is king and I want watches that speak to my own individually. All of my most recent purchases have been micro brands or vintage brands. Just got a universal geneve white shadow automatic (it's in amazing condition) and while I normally don't go for dress watches, I love this thing. The watch I wear the most is my blancpain leman dual timer or my vintage quartz credor locamotive (got this thing in Japan before it blew up and didn't even know it was designed by genta at the time). Also speaking on the credor question, your answer was good, but there are some minor details that are worth adding. Originally credor was a line of high end quartz watches. If Grand Seiko is about making the best sports watch, credor is about making the best dress watch but also about experimenting with technologies. It's why they have high end quartz and spring drive pieces but also why it seems like their lines are more experimental in both aesthetic and design. They are less conservative than Grand Seiko.

[@amarhassan5062]

Excellent Questions and Answers, the last one was absolutely brilliant, especially how teddy explained ❤.

[@chowda4u]

Social pressure is a real thing and we all want to be accepted by a community but that's the beauty of owning a watch collection. You can have a couple pieces that are seen as more instream and popular among enthusiasts and also have a couple that are lesser known but resonates with you. The entire collection doesn't have to be mainstream.

[@Greysprunkiyay]

None of your collection should be mainstream if you don’t like it. Be your own man.

[@marmas5]

I have about 30 watches which have been accumulated over many years. Some gifts some I bought for myself. My most expensive being a Hamilton field khaki automatic (jack Ryan). I like all the variety I have and which one I choose changes everyday depending on how I feel. Plenty of $1000 or less watches and plenty of “cheap” beaters for work that are still cool. Casio duro, gshock casioak etc. wouldn’t change it. I’ll get “expensive” watches one day.

[@markmccarthy7887]

Bought and sold luxury watches and everything in between on the gray market for several years.. it was fun because you kind of get to try everything on and see what you like and what you don’t. As a complete watch freak this became a problem because I was hanging on to everything I like and not selling. Wife was like “ aww no, Glasshutte original? What a stupid name! So I got out of it. Two brands that really punched way above their weight was Longines and Oris. Wearing an Oris pro pilot at the moment, love this watch. For me 10k would be 2 or 3 watches and shopping for them would be half the fun!

[@speedracer2please]

Healthy af opinions, this is what I'm subscribed for. Another point about buying for status- if your status symbol can make your friends jealous, is that actually a good thing? Does it make you more likeable? I feel like it's more useful to have a conversation starter with some meaning behind it.

Hey Teddy, love your videos. I just started collecting, but I have a question. What's the best route to go in your opinion to sell a used watch?

[@DJC-ts8rh]

Great content Teddy!! I agree that you should only buy what you like. If you like that others recognize what you are wearing that's absolutely fine. That's where you find enjoyment in the hobby. Personally in my journey, I had moved from trying to buy the "right" recognized brands to IYKYK pieces because that's who I am. I enjoy knowing I have something special even if no one else does. I don't really interact with anyone who knows watches so ultimately, this is purely for my own enjoyment. BTW, I bought a Frederique Constant as one of my first watches and love it. Great choice!

Great video! Congrats from Portugal

[@techpassion4126]

This video was a great watch, thanks Teddy! I think you hit the nail on the head for that first question. I think a middle ground of quality and quantity would help. Maybe not 10 watches, but 5-8 watches of different types sounds like a decent way to get good quality watches and figure out what you like! Beisdes, at the start of collecting we might dismiss watches we'd actually like when we try it, or praise watches that we end up not liking once we get it, making mistakes like that is normal. Its just that a $1000 mistake is easier to swallow than a $10,000 one. Also thanks for your answer to my question at 19:07! Really insightful answer, and hearing you talk about it, I agree. Its probably relatively easier to start a new brand on the high end and play the low-volume, high-margin game rather than the opposite. Probably the same reason why in the car industry, new hypercars like Pagani, Koenigsegg, and Rimac can build a name for themselves and thrive, but you dont see anyone becoming the next Toyota, Volkswagen, or GM.

[@claytonsibley3684]

I think to expand on the modding question. Cars to watches isn’t as similar a comparison as I think maybe let on. The problem I believe that people in the community have isn’t modding on its own but more the making of a knockoff piece in the name of modding. Unfortunately a piece that has been changed to a watch gets lumped in with the Seiko Oyster Perpetual and Seiko Speedmasters, so then all watch modding gets looked down on.

[@dannysimenauer5745]

You are right. To many a collector it is important that the watch has its original parts when it odd resold. So if you are modding to make a watch an expression of yourself, and plan on keeping the watch, then just enjoy it.

[@izzy031096]

The other difference is that cars fulfil a need/purpose. To the extent of groups of similarly minded tuners/modders gather together to enjoy their cars doing the tasks they were modified to excel in. That simply can’t happen with watches, there isn’t any fun to be had. Watch modding is a solitary hobby with little real world reward. Car modding can be solitary, but generally isn’t. And definitely provides instant and measurable real life reward post mod.

Mike from This Watch, That Watch (highly recommended KZbinr) has an interesting take. The price paid vis a vis the number of times it is worn. A $5000 watch worn twice/month= $192 each time it’s worn over a single year.

Anyway for me Credor definitely a watch what I would like to wear everyday , including name , movement. Art design and style ….but I am not the right audience for them sure, but Teddy you are right about every people individual like things and does not have to match , for me dress watch my best and I do like Seiko dials , but also know other people might go different direction, funny because my daily driver it’s a Tissot Seastar 1000 blue dial nothing special might only size 36mm , other watches I own I don’t want to wearing when I do harsh or rough works / sports

I think with a budget of 10k (a huge amount of money to spend on a watch collection) I would suggest two watches. One that’s 7-9.9k that’s your perfect steel watch (excluding the brands that 10k can’t touch ofc) depending on what you want. And one other watch that you like, that can stand up to a beating, is more casual, and is not going to get you mugged if you go to a dodgy part of a city. Personally I have a £20 Casio illuminator for this last purpose, I don’t want my watch to make me feel in danger!

At 23:30, @1970HondaCL100 asks if buying a Frederique Constant was a mistake since it was not a “more recognizable brand”. Short answer, NO. Longer answer, ALWAYS buy what you like and enjoy wearing, and is affordable for your budget. It is obvious the FC speaks to you. Lastly, FC is owned by Citizen, so it is well funded, and made in Switzerland. As Mario Kart says in the game, “I like your choice!”

I have a PRX with a Powermatic 80 movement in it. Watching that stuttering 3hz second sweep is nothing short of torture. My Automatic III has a much smoother 4 hz movement (but only 40 hour power reserve). I’ll take the smoother movement over the longer power reserve; would be nice to have both though, that costs money though…😂

Teddy seems like a great friend. I’d love to meet him sometime

Excellent presentation!!!

I can see value with modding the power reserve on a watch. Or swap out a movement such as a spring drive on my sbgm 221
