Watch Shopping with NFL All-Pro Mitchell Schwartz: Building a Perfect Watch Collection for $60,000

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Thanks for watching! Who do you think built the better collection?

[@SgtKong]

Okay, so I am subbed. I've liked and commented on the video as well (so that's kinda a win for you) and as much as I love Vacheron's 21... Mitch def got my pick. That Zenith is just too good. Thanks for dropping yet another great piece of content🤙

[@Gadunlop]

I gotta vote for Teddy’s collection on this one.

[@fongkongyiew]

Teddy, I like yours better. I'm a big Brietling fan and love the Tudor too...

[@Azaiya]

@@SgtKong I agree, the 21 is the pick of the bunch for me, but apart from the Nomos, Teddys watches felt a little to plain across the board. I felt Mitch had a much more versatile collection, with a lot of personality.

[@kojiattwood]

Mitchell's Moser is still my favourite out of everything, though.

[@johnatspray]

He seems like such a genuine guy, and like really a genuine watch fan. 👍

[@mmatthias2010]

Agreed!

[@mitchschwartz71]

Thanks, sure am!

[@HRM.H]

I love this concept , everyone has such different things they look for in a watch.

[@alphacause]

These shopping spree videos are so entertaining. As someone who could never afford to drop $60,000 on a watch collection, its nice to live vicariously through videos like this, where Teddy does it for us. Thank you Teddy for being an avatar in what would be, for me, a man of modest means, a grandiose fantasy.

[@arnovda9479]

Great episode! Finally a guest who actually thinks about practicality and wearing the watches! Also advising on your choices & a genuinely nice guy! Mitchell takes the win 👍

[@nikkimiddlekillsday5161]

My father, uncles and I are collectors. I have Invictas, Seikos, Crotons and a few other affordable brands and I also have a Jaeger Lecoutre and Omega. The secret to getting luxury watches like that when you don't have a big paycheck like me is getting them from Asian dealers, I learned from Henry Golding that Asia is a great place to get vintage watches for a much better price than America, and they're authentic.

[@jimbean4945]

As someone from England, I'm not familiar with Mitchell, but what a nice genuine chap. He really picked out a great selection too. I'm really glad you didn't swap out anything.

[@tbd1613]

Mitch by a mile on this one. That Zenith is a knock out.

[@melodicchronic5181]

Very nice collections for both of them. But I think Mitch stole the show. His selections were more diverse, and bold with more opportunity to step out on a ledge for different days and different occasions.

[@BHNEOH]

Tough decision, Mitch picked the better choices here. Love this type of video.

[@cormacdennehy121]

Mitch is like that friend who is so supportive of any vice you have. "Who cares if the watch is $20K, it'll look amazing on you!". I love the energy.

[@lewisreeves9843]

I have never heard of this guy before maby because I am from the UK but he was a really cool guest and had great taste in watches. Cool video keep up the good work

[@brandon_youtube]

Yup. Mitchell got this. He went for it in buying lots of showy pieces. The only watch I think was not great was the Cartier and that price. I thought that was a bad buy. But everything else he beat Teddy on this one. Teddy's collection did have the crowning piece with the Vacheron.

[@KnifeWatch]

Mitch dominated talking watches. He’s an Olympic collector. Teddy actually had my personal favorites in his collection yet overall This was inevitably Mitch’s to lose. Amazing content

[@erichrobb9950]

Even though my wrist size is a lot closer to Teddy's, I think Mitchell won that time. His IWC was nice

[@MarioGonzalez-yq3gw]

Yes I loved the IWC. Not the Cartier though..

[@Landmantx]

I have to go with Teddy this round. That VC was totally unexpected and sank Schwarze’s battleship. I also liked the B01 Chrono with bullet strap although I would have gone with something green faced in the collection to stay on trend.

[@Framsky]

I think Teddy had the better collection, but I am so happy you had someone with a large wrist on! My wrist is 8 inches and it can be hard to shop for. That Nomos is sharp.

[@balesjo]

Nomos has quite a few watches like shown that would be great summer watches, vacation, to wear on dates, or a night in outdoor venues with a cold one watching jazz, etc.

[@kenildoggy]

Absolutely adore these series Teddy! Keep it up! Also more videos with Courtney please?

[@Jpjc474]

I like that you’ve got Mitch to take part, he’s obviously a seasoned watch buyer and he picks watches that enthusiasts wouldn’t usually think of.

[@RocasThePenguin]

This guy was great. Loved watches, unique taste and... size situation, and lovely picks overall. That Breitling Chronomat was lovely. Also, I can't believe that is Alson. 30 minutes from where I used to live.

[@mitchschwartz71]

Thank you so much!

[@leer.2137]

No swaps, mabey a mutual agreed upon trade. Except for Mitches Tudor, (too small for him for that watch) I love Mitches picks !

[@KirksDrumRoom]

This type of series is fun. I would definitely watch more.

[@taehokang2551]

Mitchell’s collection felt like he has all the main watches already and picked completely based on “fun”. On the other hand Teddy’s selection felt like what a person with 0 watches would pick. 👌 Final pick for me has to be teddy and that beautiful VC

[@gambee_]

Mitchell was a great guest. Super natural on camera and clearly knows he’s stuff.

[@kaulkanman]

Love this content Teddy. Mitchell is an excellent choice!

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Great guy as well! Thanks for watching!

[@mmatthias2010]

I so enjoyed Mitch as a guest. I watched his Hodinkee vid and thought his relaxed and playful personality was the perfect fit for this video.

[@mitchschwartz71]

My taste is more in line with Teddy's choices, but I really like how Mitchell differentiates his collection. Great job guys!

[@vrsprngVI]

Mitch seems like a genuine guy. Glad he is a fan of your channel. I always enjoy these types of uploads. Cheers.

[@thedramlogmartin1526]

So cool to have Mitchell on the show! Such a great guy! Teddy is being a bit conservative when it comes to the picks here, but his choices are more refined and wearable than Mitchell’s in my opinion. Although I must say I love that Zenith. Thanks for the great content.

[@renaissancesk]

Teddy’s collection all day the Vacheron and the Breitling are absolutely stunning. That makes TB the winner hands down. I would have swapped out the nomos for that Monaco however... the would have put it over the top from a convincing win to a landslide.

[@topsecret3926]

5:53 woooow First I thought, Apple watch how lame, but it's the frinkin Moser 😲👏

[@EEE_MMM]

Both collections are great, and it really comes down to one piece for me: that Zenith El Primero does it for me. Mitch has to be the winner because he picked that single piece... But as I said, both collections are great. I found it rather amazing though that neither of you feel like you have options with $1500 remaining!

[@stimmy5709]

I think they meant that they didn’t have any options under $1500 in the store

[@rickgreen7393]

Teddy fan since 2018, Chiefs fans since 1968. Mitch and Geoff Schwartz fan since they took their first snaps at Arrowhead. Great work guys. Good taste and collections.

Great to hear James, thanks!

[@roepks]

Being a watch guy from KC, I love Mitchell Schwartz. Here's hoping he lands back in KC, but if he doesn't, he deserves all the success coming his way elsewhere. Great series, Teddy.

[@secretsanta9046]

It’s hilarious when The video first started and I saw his wrist I thought he actually had an Apple Watch on and I thought to myself what the hell does this guy know about watches lol come to find out he’s got an absolutely gorgeous and unique spin on technology and simplicity. I love Moser and can’t wait to add one to the collection. I can’t believe I had an opportunity to purchase the new Steamliner when they first got released a couple thousand below retail if I would’ve pre-paid and waited for delivery but I just couldn’t pull the trigger I didn’t have the disposable funds at the time. I love that green dial and the simple three hand aesthetics. No doubt it will be in the collection in the next couple years!!

Minus the red strap blasphemy

[@marcgirard7551]

Teddy FTW this time! I really liked the Tudor GMT, Vacheron 1921, IWC Mark XVIII combo. That would be just a super solid 3 watch collection covering a great sport/tool piece, a tremendous dress watch, and fantastic sea - to - tux everyday watch.

[@mrdavman13]

Mitch had almost all gems. Teddy had two really standout picks this time that I think by themselves were standouts on par with Mitch. But as a collection mitches felt like a family and for themed and really fitting for him

[@jdstarek]

Love this series. So much fun.

[@mitchschwartz71]

Thanks Jason, that was a blast!

[@jdstarek]

@@mitchschwartz71 That Zenith had me drooling. It’s deff on my short list.

[@TrumanBurbankFE]

Teddy nailed it. Similar to what I would buy for my collection. Chronomat, Black Bay GMT, Nomos, lose the IWC and topped with VC 1921.

[@mitchschwartz71]

He picked some great ones

[@peterk1167]

Teddy’s Vacheron American 1921 is a heart stopper and the winner for me. That was the tipping point on a very close match, 🥃🥃 well played gentleman.

[@thefwenkmeister972]

I like that mitchell knows his watches and is not afraid to try different stuff

[@Orangepeel659]

I preferred Mitch’s picks. Both were good. His was just my preference. Good video. I enjoyed it.

[@brianspagnolo6889]

One vote for Mitch. Not crazy about that particular Tudor, but everything else was on point!

[@desertoctane6444]

That Tudor was the cherry on the cake. A HAIL MARY PASS that hit the end zone.

[@heylo5274]

loveeee this series, Teddy!

[@BobLorrimer]

I was sold on the individuality of the Franck Muller selection which, for me gave, Mitchell the edge - The sophisticated glister of gold for the intimate or grand occasion tempers the utility of the other pieces in his collection.

[@waynemarkc6862]

Teddy...love his choices...Mitch for the win...

[@adrienwang98]

Would love to see you try different stores (maybe even something with vintage watches)! Just to shake things up for future episodes :) great job Mr bulbasaur!

[@jericocalzado]

Surprisingly the one I love the most was the Tudor picked by Mitchell. It just fits perfectly on him.

[@henkvandebeek7921]

Got to say this is a great series and I really enjoy it. Mitch is great and knows his watches. That VC is a winner on its own

[@yalee7996]

The Mule Air is absolutely stunning and fits his massive wrist perfectly. Definitely the winner for me, also he has more versatility in his collection so Mitchell won

[@brians2733]

I’ve shopped at that Alson Jewelers! I’m currently waitlisted on an Explorer there. Also loved it when Mitchell was right tackle for the Browns!

[@GJames007]

This guys picked some great watches, and he was so pumped when you didn’t switch watches. Good video man!!

[@MKand36]

You, of course. I am a huge fan of Nomos, I love Tudors and I would love to be able to afford the VC 1921...

Awesome video Teddy. Enjoy watching this series and great to get a HUGE guys perspective on watches 👍

[@watchguy8537]

[@pillowspam]

I'd say Mitch took this round on sheer variety alone. a versatile collection including a Bronze, Gold, Black Ceramic case watches, while having a classic Cartier & a unique Tudor.

[@jommelmeca5273]

I'm enjoying this series, just started to learn more about watches last week. Your videos does really help me learn the things that I need to. I got my first watch last week as well and I feel inlove with it. It's local brand but it's amazing, not as expensive as these watches but maybe I'll have my own collection someday and wacthing your content is a great guide.

[@krionos1488]

Mitch wins hands down! Chill dude and love the diversity in your collection! Personally not a fan of the tudor but the others are smashing!! I looove that IWC.

[@KMV007]

Why no Rolexes? Oh wait, I forgot you are more likely to find teeth on a chicken than a Rolex in a shop.

[@jeffjacobson59]

I really don’t get the hype. With the shit Rolex pulls with their customers, I’m amazed that they still do as well as they do. If people want to play their games, more power to you, but there are plenty of better options available.

[@gorohit]

That VC put a very big dent in you budget Teddy. Besides Mitch's watches were very diverse overall - where yours were pretty much round. Have to give it to Mitch. His bronze IWC is strikingly beautiful!

[@thatsthewayidoit1134]

Very cool to see someone with a bigger wrist size in these videos. I like Mitchs collection a bit more, but great choices on both sides

[@sepp540]

Great concept! So much fun to watch!!!

[@edwardb7811]

Exciting choices. I prefer the variety of Mitch's choices but give Teddy honors for the number one watch, the Vcheron Constatin 1921 Historique.

[@yacovmitchenko1490]

Hard to say. Mitchell has 3 watches I adore, and Teddy has 2. But Teddy's Vacheron steals the show. Stunning. Overall, Mitchell has a slight edge.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

OOOOF. THIS IS HARD TO CALL! And can we just say, I loved that yall didn’t pick obviously pieces! Well done! Fantastic choices. I was quite excited to proclaim M built the better collection. Until Teddy came through with the VC 1921. AHHHHH!!! My vote is with Teddy! BUT TOUGH CALL. ACE JOB!

[@mitchschwartz71]

Oh no, I thought I had it! Hard to beat the VC though, I knew that when he picked it

[@iangibson6871]

Mitch smashed his picks - that Tudor and muller would not get near my collection but made sense with his - that is what made his collection best - it had his style, personality and watch knowledge! Pick of the day though - that VC is stunning!!!!! Watches are the real winner ha ha

[@mitchschwartz71]

I'm with you on all that Ian, thanks!

[@WatcheswithDennis]

Very fun episode. Mitchell knows his stuff, and I liked he saw your prior episode and had strategy going into this!

[@mitchschwartz71]

I tried not to do too much strategy before hand but I wanted to pick all my favorites then find the best to fit the budget after. I'm not impulsive when I buy watches so this was a bit new to me

[@WatcheswithDennis]

@@mitchschwartz71 yeah impulsive with watches would be a good way to burn cash almost as fast as pure fire. I never really considered what my approach would be in a game like this but I think I would be sorely tempted to play it safe and pick models similar to watches I already own.

[@mitchschwartz71]

Thank you! Definitely lets me pull off some fun and cool pieces

[@kAos2win]

IWC Mark XVIII great pick!! That beauty really needs some screentime. and.. Mitchell great choices, not the mainstream stuff. I enjoyed this.

[@Coempi73]

Mitch picked some cool watches, but I give this one to Teddy. The Breitling, the Tudor, the Nomos and that VC, omg.

[@balesjo]

FYI, regarding the watch brands 'missing' from the discussion, Alson lists that they carry Rolex, Baume & Mercier, Breitling, Cartier, David Yurman, IWC, Shinola, Tag Heuer, Tudor, as well as pre-owned. So no Omegas, Pateks, Vacheron, etc. unless they were preowned. As far as any watch under $1500, there would have been the Shinolas.

[@EffnShaShinko]

I love watching these videos. An idea I think would be fun to showcase more of your business would be to have some of your team members behind the camera chosing watch collections too. Could be fun.
