Thank you, Teddy, for having me! Such a great time. I've never looked so good on video. Holy smokes! 🥵 Neither has Islander. 😂 But seriously, keep killing it.

[@jessicadudley8278]

So good to see you two together!

Nice to see you again. But does this mean no more TGV collaboration episodes? I really enjoyed those as well.

[@chrisswanson9724]

I showed my wife the image of Teddy & Marc, explaining the polar separation of their styles. See, Honey, Teddy is this young, refined gentleman that just opened a brick & mortar, while Marc hasn't shaved in 4 days but is an encyclopedia of horology. They're together, in the same room. Obviously at Teddy's, but together! This is going to be awesome! Of course, she said she didn't care, but it was indeed a great video.

[@speedracer2please]

haha my wife looked over and said "he looks like Marc Jacobs in disguise!" which I thought is a pretty huge coincidence

I've never seen Teddy talk to someone who knew more about the watches on the table than he did. Much respect! I appreciate Teddy's humility to let Marc do his thing. Marc got me into watches about 7 years ago!

YES!

Wrong, Marc is selling gray market. I just ordered Seiko #SRE003. It was a good price, $236. However it's available on other sites for $199. But that's not the issue, it was the French issue. My date window says: Lun, Mar, Mer, Jeu, Ven, Sam, Dim !

This is so awesome seeing Marc on the channel. Two of the best in the business doing what they do best. Keep up the great work gents.

@@mikesawtell9184 don't get me wrong it's a large audience and it's great advertising, but that's only half the battle. And again he's making his own content. In the reverse you could say how gracious mr wonderful is for doing videos with him, that's a better example. Because he dosent really have anything to gain.

This is amazing. Thank you Teddy and Marc for including Circula! I love Marc for his absolute sharpness and knowledge about the brands he is carrying. His emails are just like that 😅. Teddy and his team are pure watch lovers. I can’t express how much I appreciate that you give space to smaller brands. Really cool that you remember our encounter in the bus in Geneva. The watch world is a very small world. I‘m looking forward to seeing you next time.

A wise man once said, "You should never meet your heroes"... for they will surely disappoint. But Mark is so down to earth, that I think it would be a pleasure no matter what.

The value on that Greenport is MIND BLOWING. Let's review: - automatic movement - stainless steel bracelet - 20 bar WR - sapphire glass(!!) with AR coating(!!) What the absolute heck?!

[@lasses3887]

I feel tempted to buy a Greenport but I’m unsure. I’ve owned a Vero with great specs (high water resistence, stainless steel and sapphire glass. But the watch felt cheap and it never grew on me so I sold it later.

[@hb6747]

16:30 My first watch was an SKX013, purchased from Long Island Watch on my 18th birthday! It's been around the world with me, on countless dives, and is still one of my absolute favorites to this day. Thanks for all you've done for the watch community, Marc

Yeeeeeesssssssssss!!! Marc is such a legend, so happy to see him on the channel Teddy. TGV next??

[@BradyPuryear]

I don’t see that happening. TGV talks a ton of trash on Teddy unfortunately.

[@modernworldiscrap]

@@BradyPuryearreally?

[@superbro3491]

That is not going to happen. Lots of bad blood between TGV and all the mainstream youtube watch channels.

[@BradyPuryear]

@@modernworldiscrap absolutely. Something about a video that Teddy did with his buddy Alpha M from like 5 years ago. It’s so immature the jabs that’s TGV has been taking that I unfollowed him after watching almost everything he put out for about 3 years. Teddy has the most class of almost any content maker on the internet imo.

[@jackblah5842]

@@BradyPuryear Indeed this whole thing is odd. TGV never misses an opportunity to call into question the integrity of every KZbinr selling watches. TGV and Marc collab all the time, fun videos, two eccentric personalities kind of an odd couple but fun which makes no sense given TGV's stance on sellers I stopped watching TGV for years after the whole plagiarism mess. I'm back watching TGV, enjoying his schtick and weird pronunciations and content.

[@sunrisechaser7913]

Teddy’s so gracious and Mark looks so thrilled! It was thoroughly enjoyable watching 2 gentlemen discuss watches!

[@ToneyDouglas23]

What I love about Long Island watch is that I live on Long Island and he has a watch named after every town I’ve lived in lol.

[@grahamwarner8731]

Great team! You both bring different but complimentary perspectives on the watch industry.

[@TB-hy3sv]

Teddy, you didnt even throw a link to his site? Ungrateful.

[@nec4608]

TGV would be jealous…. 😂 as he seems sometimes a little bit critical, in an elliptical way, to people like Teddy that have a channel an promote watches to sell … it would be great one day watch, Teddy, Marc and TGV together as they are so different , they could be the Top Gear of watches 😉 anyway excellent video!!!

[@eduardosturla]

Agree. I also posted Teddy should throw a big bash at his new store: Nico, Bamford, TGV, Just One More Watch, Adrien, Marc...it would be the meeting of the Watch Multiverse!!! Make it happen!!!

[@craiglibby1224]

Two of my favorite watch nerds! Great to see you both discussing watches.

[@TristanSchneck]

This is the Collab video I've been waiting for. Bought a fitted, curved endlink bracelet for my Seiko SNE573 from Marc a few months ago and it's now, easily my most worn watch.

[@chrismoller01]

OMG.... this is a hilarious session between you.... to see you both on together is very special... I follow both of you regularly (along with TGV) and others.... I'm a supporter of Five Forty Five in wellington NZ, and even purchased Marc's Montauk co-lab with Squale ... so yes, a fan for sure! currently thinking I'd love a blue 1521....Likewise Teddy's visit to Oris had a big impact on me... So I have a TT1 divers date automatic (for me its a wonderful robust design piece ... to my eyes more elegant than the aquis)... I thoroughly enjoyed the awkward moments esp at the beginning... they made the whole thing incredibly genuine and real... I love mechanical things (grew up with an automotive engineer father, so no escape) sorry pun not intended....his grand father had a Rotherhams hunter pocket watch, which I've been very lucky to spend time with, and also stumbled across a beautiful 1950's Junghans pre Max Bill and even more minimal which seems hard to believe... very elegant and understated. My life with time pieces started very early when I purchased a very reliable NZG railway clock at age 14... it was my first antique....what a journey!

[@DavidDatura]

Umm, have Marc and TGV had a falling out? I hope not, as I really enjoy their collaboration episodes. Still, nice to see him at Teddy’s too.

[@superbro3491]

They must have had a falling out, I can't imagine TGV will be feeling good about Marc appearing on Teddy's channel given the way TGV feels about Teddy.

[@DavidDatura]

@@superbro3491 how does he feel about Teddy? 🤷‍♂️

[@grenphelps7455]

Marc isn't tied up with only tgv guys, Marc has been on loads of other channels, just do a search, tgv won't do this type of stuff with another channel because it's against his ethics....

"Bi-directional dual-time bezel as opposed to a traditional diver's bezel" - THANK YOU!! IDK why this isn't vastly more popular. It's so much more functional in everyday life. Teddy, how about some chapter breaks and links to Marc's Islander shop (perhaps until you carry them)? Marc, I think the Greenport color pops far more in this video than your reflective product photos.
