[@truckkun6136]

Thanks man.

[@napir]

The Seiko GMT movement is already widely available and modders have just gotten started, and it's a matter of time before micro brands start doing really cool things with them. On its own, the Seiko is already a home run, but what it does for the affordable enthusiast market, it's the winner of 2022 in my mind. Thanks for the rundown!

[@gladlawson61]

Modded sounds alot like custom which sounds like... paying for other people problems.

[@daley1985]

Where do i get the GMT with sapphire and cyclops?

[@jisezer]

@@daley1985 you put a sapphire cyclops on one yourself

[@jisezer]

There are already about ten different microbrands making a gmt, almost none of them have truly been higher quality than the Seiko.

[@TheMonsterHunterTV]

It is such bullshit, to wait for shitty microbrands to use the Seiko-movement. None of these microbrands improve the quality of the seiko

[@danbolta3107]

The value of channels like this is all the knowledge gained by handling the watches (plus the experience of having handled so many others previously). As the channel and shop’s success grows, Thanks to these guys maintaining their humble beginnings, giving the transparent BAD as well as good.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Thank you Dan! This comment means a lot. Enjoy your Saturday

[@minhtuando6775]

@Seosamh Pádraig Ó Dubhthaigh I figured you're a troll, grow up and stop making yourself a target for people to laugh at.

[@bernardwadding]

I have to agree with you, TB has handled so many watches that you would be nuts not to at least consider his opinion

[@filler118]

That Breitling Pistachio is just so pure! Made me go back to the shopping video you did with Kevin. Love it!

[@globtopics]

Let’s be honest with ourselves guys. We only can seriously consider the affordable option, and the other ones are purely for dreaming 😂😂😭

[@rhine2y6y]

Teddy has outstanding taste. He doesn't follow the crowd, he finds good picks across various price ranges, and can qualify precisely in terms of both design and technical aspects why he likes something. I enjoyed this.

[@michaeljordan6008]

He sells most of what he picks, no?

[@rousseau327]

@@michaeljordan6008 That came after, he's been talking about these types of watches long before he started his online AD business

[@BellaRoseMB]

Just purchased my first watch from your website. I purchased the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 with a silver dial. Man, this is a great watch for the money. I love it! Ordering was simple and the product was received with no issues. I enjoyed watching a ton of your videos in 2022. Looking forward to what 2023 brings the watch community.

[@giorgios7785]

Teddy, please Never change like the other big watchfluencers. I appreciate and enjoy your channel so much for being so versatile and not milking Rolex in every video, going with the hype etc.

[@chrisrouse3673]

Teddy and team, thanks for all the time and effort this year, you continue to lead, and I’m sure we’ve all learned a lot. Happy Holidays!

[@alexpark8515]

Teddy, i love that you respect all watches and all brands at every price point! Wish you the absolute best success and luck in 2023!

[@sumitkar8146]

Another superb video. Your videos over the past few years reignited my passion for watches and now I have a small four watch collection that I absolutely love - Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium, Baltic Aquascaphe Blue gilt, Omega Seamster Diver 300 white dial and the Omega Speedmaster 3861 Hesalite - Thanks again for the phenomenal and consistent content

[@Alex-pn5xk]

Teddy... You've got me hooked on watches! I've watched a TON of your videos in the past month and I can't wait until the next one comes out so I can learn more. Thank you for making the content easy to understand and captivating. I'm simply in awe of watches now thanks to you. My bank account isn't happy but I am!

[@grid1013]

My first year being an enthusiast. Appreciate all the work, Teddy.

[@BradyPuryear]

Thank you for all the awesome content this year Teddy!! ❤️

[@Levi-Salmon]

Fell deep down the watch rabbit hole about a month ago, have probably watched 20+ hours of your content since. Thanks for putting all of this out there!

[@chrisfernandez6078]

Same thing happened to me last year 😂

[@MrMucc]

That’s literally me right now. I’ve just been completely emersed in the world of watches for the past month or so. Teddy makes the best content on watches, for sure.

[@NickJardine]

Get out while you still can

That FP Journe is simply sublime! I had never seen one before so thank you for showing it!

[@Casualcollector2024]

Thank you Teddy for all the great content you are bringing up over the year! It sounds funny but you are the one who made me realize that I should downsize my preferred watch size to a perfect fit.

[@timgenter1264]

Fantastic video. Thanks for a great year of content!

[@ur_shulgi9133]

Awesome video!! Happy Holidays to all of the Teddy Baldassarre family!! Such great customer service and passion!!

Thanks Teddy for keeping the spirit of amateur watch collectors like us very high ☺️

[@sanantoniotonight5569]

indeed

[@vitoroblestorres4456]

Absolutely great video Teddy, really been looking forward to this one and it didn’t disappoint one bit 👌🏼

[@mikemelvin207]

Teddy - Thanks for a great year of wonderful content. Congratulations to you and your team!

[@henrykreinces2058]

Well done. I really enjoy the knowledge you pass along.

[@sassy19a]

Thanks for all ur videos this year. Keep it strong in 2023!

[@1984Hightower]

I started my hobby this year with a Seiko Sports 5 and a Seiko Pepsi Turtle. Both have the same 4R36 movement. I doubt becoming a collector but definetely considering my next timepiece with more power reserve ( a Seiko Baby Alpinist or a Hamilton Khaki Field Auto). Thanks Teddy for delivering helpful videos to starters like me and greetings from Germany!

[@OneLordeAnimeClips]

Longines has a lot of pieces with 72 hr power reserves, as do Tissot and Rado with 80 hrs. Tissot is on the more affordable side of those three companies, with Longines and Rado being "entry-level" luxury brands

[@drnick40]

Thank you, Teddy! You are a treasure of the watch journalism. I doubt there is a watch enthusiast who doesn’t love your videos. Merry Christmas!

[@marcgirard7551]

Great review , Teddy and a wonderful year again. You’ve been doing excellent work!

[@robertnjax1]

Great video Teddy. Glad that you’re taking the time to make these along with the research.

[@BenMwatches]

What a list - amazing pieces this year. Keep up the superb content

[@idontknowname1053]

Thank you for getting me into the world of watches love the videos

[@LegatoStudios]

Great video! You wrapped up the year nicely.

[@223raulh]

Happy Holidays Teddy. All these watches look great by the way, you're the best.

[@RicardoRodriguezFL]

Another great video Teddy. Very detailed and showcased the watches beautifully.

[@ricardorgomez]

FANTASTIC video! That Seiko chronograph ROCKS!

[@mortyman4522]

What a review, love this summary for the year!

[@Hnair1982]

Very comprehensive Teddy, considering the length of the video, the content and wait was worth it. Well done!

[@JayCAlan]

Great roundup video. I sincerely enjoy all of your content! I love that you go even more geeky over quality entry-level watches than you do high end models. A great mix. Also feeling very stoked about the orange dial Seiko GMT that I ordered from you and will be presenting to myself for Christmas!

[@bipennate]

Excellent list, of course. I'd add the Calibre 1932 5 hz split seconds chronograph minute repeater watches from Omega. Incredible accomplishment in a year of fantastic releases from Omega.

[@dmarti47]

The Miyota 9075 “true” GMT movement also deserves an honorable mention, in my opinion. Perhaps the Bulova watch with which it was released isn’t for everyone, but we are beginning to see more and more watches being manufactured with that movement, which is great for those who want a truly affordable “true” GMT watch.

[@iam_adnan]

What is GMT?

[@BAF605]

Took the words out of my mouth. As microbrands start to roll this movement out I see it stealing a lot of the thunder from Seiko.

[@tudorlupu4691]

I personally love the Seiko Ssk gmt. Great watch, great value for money, great experience having it on the wrist. Really good job on the video Teddy, keep up the good work!

[@gladlawson61]

Seiko is always worth the money imo

[@octavianavila2418]

Awesome vid Teddy, really appreciate the “off brands” you bring to light at all price ranges, keep it up

[@aSlimtube]

Thanks. I had a blast watching.

[@MrFreddyd3]

Another great video. You have one of the best watch channels out there. Not outrageous, flashy, no controversy.

[@d.kashani]

Teddy, I love this channel. It’s informative, entertaining and provides a place for us enthusiasts. More importantly it’s given me something at a time in my life when I was really struggling so it’s bigger than just watches. Thank you.

[@Mthusiast4life]

Great knowledge and so valuable for the watch people!

[@stevenv.surawski1178]

Thanks for this Great Video. Already looking forward to your video's next year.

[@paperback10]

Thanks for making the time and effort to present another comprehensive watch survey.

[@stevenwoo2881]

Great wrap-up of your favorite watches and have a Merry Christmas!

I appreciate you giving your personal top 10 list here!

[@jasonsmith8567]

Been watching your stuff on TT ans came over here for some more details. I've made a list watches because of you. Thanks for keeping it real to the common folk.

[@marlonlam6959]

From a 500 dollar watch to a six figure watch. Great variety in taste and price, as usual. Appreciate the hard work you and the squad put in! It feels like there is a new video everyday lol. (My murph is on its way to me now!)

[@mikefink1361]

I think very highly of Teddy. I was very closed minded in my style preferences. He is very educated on all of the brands and presents that information in a fair manner. I am not, in any way, offended by hearing what he prefers because he is still offering kudos, where they are due. Very glad that I found his channel and watch whenever I get a chance.

[@smittysmitty481]

Solid list Teddy. Thanks for the content brother

[@nickrichards867]

Teddy, you are the best. Thank YOU for bringing us this content. I've purchased a watch and a couple straps from you and they are all top quality. keep up the great work!

[@donkeytime1704]

Thank you for sharing your passion and thoughts with these different designs. I own many different types for different purposes and occasions. Some for physical activity, work or going out on the town. For all reasons for these different designs make it so much fun and interesting in our everyday lives.

[@toddtice1574]

Jody, love your videos, they are both informative and entertaining.

Great video, thanks. I recently purchased the NY0154-51L and couldn’t be happier.

Hi Teddy! Thank you for another year of great content. I appreciate your style and insight! Not watch related, but what jacket do you have on in this video? I really like the style. Thank you!

Good show, you have a great crew.

[@vignesh69841]

I genuinely got excited when I saw this video pop up in my feed :)

[@beyond36horology]

Great video as usual. I too got the Seiko 5 GMT and did a review on it. But my heart yearns for the Longines. They've been doing great work the past few years helped by their library of designs for years ago.

[@ericsonsolidum9655]

That Breitling B09 just looks gorgeous. I probably won't be able to ever afford it but I would still love to wear one on my wrist someday, it looks so damn good, just beautiful.

[@anthonychan7977]

This is a great video filled with assessment and guidance for watch lovers, my compliments to Mr Baldassare

[@bjoernaltmann]

Great review!

[@strongmanupdates7533]

I recently got an Orient Helios, which is basically an open-heart style Bambino on a bracelet instead of a strap. I love it. Might be my favorite of the 9 watches I own. I understand the hype that the Bambino gets, and I think the Helios deserves the same.

[@herbmerced7780]

Great content Teddy! Keep it up bro!

[@stevenv.surawski1178]

Happy Holidays Teddy !

[@quadrupleheart]

This year I obtained my basic and advanced open water scuba diving certifications and started looking into dive watches, and found your channel. I quickly went from knowing nothing about watches to being immersed in a whole new world! I've watched so many videos (mostly yours) and read a few books, and I spent months voraciously consuming every bit of watch content I could find. Thank you for feeding my new passion this year! You've been a prominent part of my journey into watches and I'm thankful for that Teddy :)

For years, I've been happy with my little Seiko watch collection. I have like one piece for every occasion and/or season - that's it - and I've been able to sleep comfortably. KZbin suddenly recommends Teddy, and within two days I've bought an SRPE57 and now I have serious cravings for an SSK003. Dang it! Your suede jacket looks great by the way Teddy.
