The Best First Luxury Watches You Can Buy (2024)

[@rhenmerchant5715]

Will you please stop putting Rolex on lists of "watches you can buy". If you can't walk into an AD and buy a watch it should never be on a list of "watches you can buy".

[@elvisahmed]

Exactly asked an AD for op and followed up several times don't even hear back for a few years

[@MrLouislaf]

Exactly! The fact that any watch company can treat its customers like sh.. and still have customers is puzzling.

[@landonboomsma2594]

What all watch brands do this? I’ve heard Patek does, anyone else?

[@hyderabadnavab]

​@landonboomsma2594 just AP, PP, and Rolex. FP Journe and Vacheron are hard to buy, but that's a different story

[@Sethbowl]

Exactly

Teddy’s chat service team is on point. When buying a Certina the previous month two of his staff members were adamant about getting me the info I needed as well as restocking the specific modeling I was seeking to purchase. Keep up the solid work gentlemen.

[@El_hefe1989]

Couldn't agree more. I was looking at a couple different models that were all out of stock on the site and the chat were happy and willing to order whatever model I wanted in an instant. Really top notch service from the team!

I just picked up my first ever luxury watch in the turdor burgundy 5 link bracelet. I’m on vacation. I walked into the Tudor store thinking they didn’t have any in stock. To my surprise lo and behold they did and I picked up the watch straight away. I’m very happy with how the watch looks in person.

[@bsmccrunner4]

Could have saved for the real deal Rolex. But I get it

[@Pseudopimelodidae]

I bought a Grand Seiko Skyflake as my first luxury watch from Tokyo as the prices are great with the Japanese yen being so low and foreigners being able to buy the watches tax free. I have been very happy with the purchase.

[@mocheen4837]

I was just in Tokyo and that was one of the watches I was looking at. I ended up leaving with a Speedmaster and a Seamaster Pro. I saved a couple thousand dollars and no tax. It was not cheap, but still discounted.

[@ZiggieAG]

but you had to pay tax when entering your country, right? ;-P about which price are we talking? I want to visit Japan anyway, so this could be a perfect combination. I want a swiss made watch, but only because..., what I really want is a Spring Drive, because that is the peak of everything.

[@leroymcnezz8846]

Literally did the same, leaving Tokyo today but was able to get a SBGA465 for about £1.4k less than I would have in London, tax savings included but the general price is also a lot better.

[@apilkey]

Defining what a “luxury watch” is outside of brand name also matters. For 90%+ of the population, a $850-$1,000 watch is big time luxury.

[@patsia0208]

Correct. "Luxury" varies depends on the status of the person.

[@fj7509]

People need to stop lowering the bar for luxury. Rolex, Cartier, Omega, all make 700K to a million watches a year because people can afford them. $1,000 isn’t really luxury

Quartz Omega SMP 300 was my first luxury watch. It was more affordable than the auto version which was a big plus. 17 years later and it’s still going strong in my collection. ❤

[@cliftonpauljones]

I purchased an Quartz Omega as my first luxury watch after getting into law school. 21 years later I still wear it daily and never had it serviced even once. Will probably get it's first service sometime this year but this thing just keeps on going. Still have the original receipt of $895 plus tax after discount. lol!

[@RupeeNL]

My first luxury watch was a TIssot Gentleman on a brown leather strap. Swiss craftmanship, yet still relatively affordable. And it's suitable for both casual days and more formal gatherings. I wear it everywhere. Highly recommended!

[@ThatGUY666666]

When it comes to making recommendations to people looking to get into this world, I don't actually recommend a specific watch or brand. Rather, I recommend they set themselves a budget of $500.00 or less and get themselves a nice dress watch from Tissot, Citizen, Seiko, Orient, and so forth. Then I recommend they wear it for a while since dress watches in my opinion dress down just fine and see if it is a source of joy for them. If it is, then they can go from there to see how deep they want to go. If they find that the luxury watch world is not for them it still works out alright since (1) they get their answer, (2) that answer cost them $500.00 or less as opposed thousands, and (3) they have a perfectly wonderful watch to wear for formal occasions such as weddings, interviews, business meetings, and so forth.

[@Zzz-j2f]

Got a Citizen ProMaster Fujitsubo for Christmas, it’s been the only watch I’ve worn since then. Other than my G-Shock for work.

[@ayda2876]

100% no point getting a watch above 500$ unless u really care about watches and its really your thing but the average person can get something really high quality and good for like 300$

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

​@@ayda2876Some spend a few thousand because they want to feel a sense of accomplishment when they look at their wrist. 300$ bucks? Isn't giving someone that feeling

[@vaudou74]

i have a tissot prs 516 powermatic as a daily....good enough and i like its look, i use a basic (yet GPS fonctionnal) vivosport (garmin)watch for sport and watersport (kitesurf) in the past i was wondering for a tudor or equivalent (oyster)...but now i m more incline to look for different watches ( wandering hours ie atawak tarentula or a xeric, or cheap tourbillon, despite being useless in a wrist watch like a XP1 LT) .

[@nuttapongpienthai982]

I agree with you These suggested choices for the first watch are simply too expensive to begin with for most people And there are many affordable brands with really nice watches to begin with such as oris, CW, seiko, or even Sinn

[@Bethel485]

Let's say you came into some extra funds and and bought a luxury watch of say 10k, how much could you sell it for in two years if you needed the cash? Do watches usually go up in value or lose worth over time?

[@EmersonFranklin65]

If this is one of your fears/reasons for buying a luxury watch, you might want to reconsider and put your money into stocks or another solid investment instead. With the right F.A or by choosing the right investments, you could potentially be able to afford the 2026 version of the watch without the worry of going broke in the near future. I say this from experience, having been in your shoes before. Goodluck!

Let me tell you when I fell in love with my snowflake: when I bought a couple other watches that played a couple other roles and allowed the snowflake to just be itself instead of needing to be everything. I'm not sure a one watch collection is possible because by nature it is us asking for our watch to be everything just like in an unhealthy relationship. My snowflake doesn't need to be dressy and sporty and this and that. It is now just my snowflake and I love it more than I ever did before --now that I have additional watches.

Bring back the sword hands, Omega! Then only thing stopping me from getting the SMP. Can’t stand the skeleton hands.

[@paulsmithchannel]

Amen.

[@johnheuer6371]

Hi Teddy love your videos and your love of watches. I just purchased my first luxury watch even though I have 8 watches in my collection I purchased a Tag Heuer Senna. It just grabbed me with its colour and complications. The bracelet is beautiful as well. I have always wanted a Tag Heuer as my surname is Heuer. So at last now I have one. I just turned 60 and the time is right. Cheers John.

[@lamentate07]

Then buy a Heuer!

Last time I was this early for an upload, KZbin ads were merely pop up ads at the bottom of the screen!😂

[@shaundomingue6509]

Teddy. Excellent video. Very comprehensive. Well done. Cheers.

[@Anaesdoc]

Consider Baume & Mercier Baumatic watches!

[@ImNotOld_ImVintage]

I haven't seen the full video yet, but I know what my first over $5k luxury watch will be. Omega Globemaster is favorite watch by far. I just can't decide if I'm going full steel or Sedna Gold.

[@davidmichaelblack]

Why included Rolex when, thanks to Rolex and their ADs, they’re never available?

[@RPE-Official]

I got a sub last week at mine. How about trying for yourself instead of copying and pasting the same rhetoric you hear others spouting.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Oh give it a rest with this already. Soo many complaints about this from people who don't even want a Rolex. Jump off the bandwagon already

[@bigj324]

I don't know about that. I've been trying to get a Datejust 41 for over a year now. I check in monthly with two different ADs but they keep saying they have not gotten it and are looking out for it for me. Perhaps it worked out for you but there's still many that are having no luck getting one.

[@polysyllobic]

Careful my dude. A lot of guys in the comments who let their AD have a night with their wife/girlfriend for the privilege of buying a piece of wrist jewelry are going to be VERY upset at you for saying something less-than-positive about the brand name they’ve chosen to base their personality around.

[@MrPleers]

For people with Stockholm syndrome.

[@miguelcosta530]

Excellent video, if I had to choose it would be the omega speed master

[@mikehyland6906]

Your videos are always so informative so thanks for that. Love my Longines Spirit Zulu Time! The dial is so beautiful I find myself looking at it all the time. Keeps almost perfect Time as well.

[@fatalhussain]

Love that Longines made this list. I'd also recommend their new Hydroconquest GMT. Such a beautiful piece.

[@rics9999]

i want to buy a watch for my son who turns 28 this month. I has narrowed down the IWC Mark XX IW328202 AND the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra41mm 220.10.41.01.002. Which one would u recommend ?

[@Jennmarie05]

I'm retired at 27, went from Grass to Grace. This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest wife, $35k biweekly and a good daughter full of love ❤️

[@Jasmine12-i3f]

I raised 75k and Christina Ann Tucker is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Christina A. Tucker is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!

[@Michelle_59]

Wow 😱 I know her too Miss Christina Ann Tucker is a remarkable individual whom has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life.

[@Michelle_59]

I started with a miserly $1500. The results have been mind blowing I must say TBH!

[@James1xr]

< I know that woman(Christina Ann Tucker) If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!

[@johnwebb9242]

Had acquired a Seiko Presage, then a Hamilton Chronograph, and THEN, my big “plunge” was a Cartier XL Must. So glad I went for the Cartier ($5,000), a big chunk of change for me. Since that purchase I go for vintage watches. I study the new models from several manufacturers, but prefer owning well preserved old watches.

[@dipping_stock9656]

I told myself that Ill never buy my first Rolex. I told my wife that its gonna be up to her to choose and gift to me. No matter how long it takes, no matter the price, no matter if never. That Rolex needs to be very special.

[@RyanDo]

May I ask why you don’t want to buy a Rolex yourself?😧

[@Slapdash1]

@@RyanDo I mean, come on. Would you rather buy one or be gifted one?

[@RyanDo]

@@Slapdash1 I would be happy either way! I would cherish a present but think buying one on my own would have more sentimental value! But that’s just my opinion!

[@speedracer2please]

Some of my favorite watches are gifts that I wouldn't have thought to pick for myself. Sometimes the person is more important than the brand!

[@RyanDo]

@@speedracer2please I can see the beauty in that too!

[@ernestoruiz296]

My first was the new white dial Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. It was the best purchase I’ve made and so far, still my favorite watch.
