WooHoo!! It was such an absolute pleasure doing this shoot with Teddy! Thank you for the opportunity.

Just wondering if you have any interest in Breitling or IWC Watches due to your profession. If so, any future purchases in mind or specific models that speak to you?

[@klccmd]

Hey man what brand straps do you use? Enjoyed it

[@oiseo4498]

Such an awesome collection thar reflects who you are and what you do!

[@NicolasAlcalde]

Hey Teddy, I'm a mail carrier in Chandler, AZ and just delivered one of your watches to one of my customers a few minutes ago. I thought that was pretty cool after seeing you launch your website and open your store. Congratulations on the success, man.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Very cool story! Thanks for sharing this and for delivering that watch safely to a customer haha. I hope you’re able to finally relax a little after the crazy delivery routes I am sure you have had over the last several weeks with the holidays.

[@diahndrummond8238]

This series of videos is so entertaining and real . Real working people who love watches and are passionate about their work, merge the two and it’s a special thing. Thanks Teddy.

[@benmoore7946]

more of this series please

[@Barry-8378]

Totally agree!

[@9tophat]

Agreed! More of these please.👍

[@benmoore7946]

Thanks for the vlog I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovariacn cncer. I also 25reated a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful(

[@dblh84]

Absolutely!

[@DAMOSTKANGRY]

As an airline pilot myself I’m pretty loyal to Breitling for all it’s significance to the aviation community. Got a Chronomat, Navitimer, Premier and an super ocean heritage. Chronomat is my daily driver

[@johnjuarez8005]

Luv the Navi, and Super Ocean, so choice.

[@randylaw3368]

When I got my commercial rating back in the day, my wife and my mother bought me a Gucci chronograph to help me practice "timed turns" as part of my multi-engine IFR training. Still runs great, several batteries and one cleaning, 35-years later!

[@emildimitrov4203]

Such a good guest and and amazing conversation. Loved how he's down to earth and interested in Oris and the history behind each timepiece

[@MiguelGonzalez-hf9tr]

I love these type of videos where someone goes through their watch collection and there are just very personal stories about how/ why they acquired certain time pieces and what they mean to them. Please keep bringing content like this 😊

[@harveytan7506]

Teddy B., this is the format I gravitate towards. You got the Diver and Operative episode that I remember. Hodinkee did it with an retired Navy Seal. W.O.E. too. Please keep it coming.

[@RobMyself]

Love this series. It's such a pleasure and so informative as well as thoroughly entertaining. Another hit from Teddy.

[@giannimotta5823]

In Germany we have a certification for aviation watches (DIN 8830). Certified aviation watches come from Sinn, Laco & Stowa.

[@pittss2c601]

Casio G Shock all day long for flying. Try flying an Extra aerobatic airplane (made in Germany) with a luxury watch. You'll bang it up. I've made that mistake.

[@giannimotta5823]

​@@pittss2c601 I have a scarred GA-B2100 which I wear in the workshop. It's really uncomfy and I'm happy when I got it off my wrist. But it can definetly take a hit like anything else!

[@bdegrds]

I would never trust a cheap Chinese made tech I can get at Walmart

[@RobMyself]

I've been researching all that brands. So many great, simple and clean watches to choose from. I can't decide!

[@pittss2c601]

[@Senoph]

I dont know whats cooler, his watch collection or the fact that he was an apache pilot. Great video as always Teddy!

[@Felix0770]

Oh my god he has a Citizen Skyhawk Blue Angels edition. My parents gifted me one for my 16th birthday. It was also my first nice watch. It died sitting in my closet. After 16 years I got it refurbished by Citizen and I fell back in love with it and watches in general. I wore it seeing the Blue Angels for the first time. Something I'd always wanted to do as a kid. I have a deep connection with this one.

[@DecoyVoice]

ive always wanted a rolex starbucks, but that white face omega is really amazing

[@chriscon8463]

Great episode! Former C-130 navigator here…I always flew with either a G-Shock 5600, Casio Pathfinder, or Citizen Navihawk (the one with a whizwheel on it).

[@robcameron9351]

Best series! Merry Christmas to Teddy subs

[@MikeHunt700]

Thanks Teddy, I’m a retired USAF aviator and have started a modest collection. I have learned a tremendous amount from you and greatly appreciate it! Additionally, congratulations on your new store!

[@stevechin1866]

Teddy. This was perfect timing. Just showed this to my nephew who graduated last week with his pilot’s license from Embry Riddle and he is a huge watch fan. He has a a Tissot and a Rolex submariner given to him by my dad who passed away last year. He is saving up for an Breitling. He loved this episode and has now subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Amazing to hear! My cousin who is a pilot graduated from the same school. He now sports a Sinn 104 as his daily. Congrats to your nephew.

[@daniellawrence863]

The couch series... Always appreciate seeing the collection of others. Great job on the intro edit!!

[@Heffalumpen]

This is the watch content we're missing! Everyone does reviews on their sponsored watches. This is so utterly refreshing

[@matthewhardy5610]

Enjoyable video and thank you for your service. As a retired Army Infantry officer, I can relate to the diver's watch attraction. When I got promoted to Major, my wife said that I was entitled to a real watch, so she got me a Seiko Transitional Diver (1995). I've retired a long time ago, but its still my day-to-day watch.

[@theredderbaron]

Thank you

[@jorgeleandrostovar]

What a great presentation. Not only do you present great watches, there is also a story to be told. This format is very enjoyable - I’d love to see more like this. Great job. Thanks.

[@andhenny]

Bob was my Brigade’s Deputy Commanding Officer in Army aviation. Thank you both for your service. And great collection, thanks for sharing.

[@stevenbird1431]

Great interview!! Lovely guy and amazing collection, he’s right “buy what YOU like” keep these interviews coming!! Merry Christmas all🎄🎅🎁

[@InsanelyGhostly]

This pilot dude is my kind of dude. Successful without the arrogance and doesn’t show the need to show off his wealth, just his swag and preferences.

[@theredderbaron]

@InsanelyGhostly man I truly appreciate you saying that. I never want to come across as showy. I was even reluctant to start that IG page due to that but a friend convinced me. I'm fortunate to travel and see some neat things and I'm glad I can share it with others.

[@simonelliott5956]

Great video, nice to see a real world collector talking about his reasoning on buying each piece. I have the same Studio Underdog and I love it, the dial is stunning with the shadow of the numerals visible on the coloured disc behind a glass layer.

[@biggeeizzy]

I really like these series of individual watch collections. They are great!👌🏽

[@ZachLanger]

As an airline pilot the only thing I care about on my watch is the day of the week. It’s the only thing I never know and isn’t as readily available anywhere else.

[@pittss2c601]

Me too. I check that on my G Shock constantly.

[@kims2r]

I work shifts as well and it’s such an amazing feature almost none of the higher end brands have. I’m considering a Sinn 104 but my gw5600 is really all I will ever need😛

Thanks for the great content, Teddy!

[@thepartrain]

How does a pilots watch actually help a pilot? Is legibility the only thing bc of vibration?

[@peekay4]

If it has a GMT function that also helps -- especially for those flying internationally -- since time (in pilot weather reports, ATC instructions, etc.) are typically expressed in GMT / UTC (aka "Zulu"-time). E.g., even in the US if you're flying say from New York to Denver and pull up Denver's weather report, all the forecasts will be in GMT.

[@theredderbaron]

Part of my response was edited out but the quick set hour hand and date function is a major plus when I cross back and forth over the international dateline
