What Teddy Baldassarre Really Thinks About Watches | Watchfinder & Co.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Andrew, Tom, thanks for having me on for a chat. It was great to finally connect after years of admiring your work and I hope we can do it again in the future. By the way, nice work with the Cleveland backdrop with the microphone haha!

[@darthnihilus4880]

Haha pentatonic scale. Is your dads name carl? And he's a classic rock guitarist?

[@watchfinder]

Awesome to have you on! A real privilege. Can’t wait to get into the nitty-gritty and pick your brains on all things watches!

[@jasonwilson7692]

My two favourite watch channels combined! *said in Captain Planet TV show voice*

[@thewatchg.o.a.t.9157]

🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@XenFPV]

Weird seeing you in a comment section and it not being a scam

[@dominicrusho]

Imagine the immense power he will wield when he finally evolves into Teddy Venusaur

[@ivansmoll4818]

Damn you...*upvote*

[@mrcom4359]

😂

[@davidweisbruch4869]

Thank you for this.

[@hbhisunavailable]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@davidpugh8772]

hahaha thanks for the laughs! here have a free thumbs up!

[@Podcastage]

Good guy Teddy coming on your show is so awesome! Really great hearing more about his back story. Thanks for the great episode.

[@adamswanson2349]

This is so awesome! Teddy sells watches, Watchfinder sells watches, they both make KZbin content they compete for viewers on, yet this is genius level collaboration. Watchfinder videos with Andrew and Tom are epic voice over stuff that has the English twist that honestly no other content/retailer can touch, no question. Yet, Teddy is that enthusiast from Good old rust belt Cleveland USA that has class, good taste, and is a real deal enthusiast. It’s like an AC Shelby Cobra but in watch content world. Please do this again. I will be happy to support and buy product from both these sources.

[@teruphoto]

I can listen to the banter between Andrew and Tom all day, but these collabs and interviews are fascinating as well, largely due to the great questions you guys come up with.

[@adamselene5957]

PLEASE, someone tell "Teddy" that "irregardless" is NOT a word - PLEASE!

[@suavewolf1994]

Loved it! Teddy was my first watch channel that helped fuel my interest in watches. I really hope for more collabs and that the guests continue to come back.

[@brianmason744]

I loved this interview. Teddy is always on point. He’s positive and very intelligent; I can tell by his answers. I am not the measurer of intelligence;however, he uses love and positivity to get a point across and that’s the highest order of understanding.

[@watchfinder]

We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder

[@Gumby56]

Because of Teddy B. I've gone from 1 watch to 21. It's all your fault Teddy😁

[@tone-b]

Absolutely made up that my two favourite watch channels have joined up. Teddy you legend, the need to make a trip over the pond to the UK is a must. Andy and Tom keep up the great and insightful work with touch of banter this world needs.

[@joelsk7149]

Finally! We didn’t deserve this, but oh goodness did we need it!

[@JoaoGomes-ce4th]

Love this series! Jenni, Nico and now Teddy! Can’t wait for the next collab.

[@thetruebatman4632]

“If you ever want to know if someone is a watch enthusiast, ask them for a watch and they’ll give you five….” LOL nailed it and nailed Teddy. Awesome video.

[@seattlegrrlie]

KZbin and that ability to see a watch on different wrists, get opinions from different people, see it side-by-side to similar watches really changes the game. Teddy has done a great job of elevating that space to showcase options at different price points and style and value. Others are chasing

[@ivansmoll4818]

These collaboration videos continue to be fantastic. Teddy's content in particular is great and one of the few on my watch viewing rotation along with Watchfinder & Co.

[@thetruebatman4632]

YAYYYYY these collabs are killer! Teddy is one of the classiest, most passionate guys in the business and he’s always a joy to watch.

[@edgypancreas1839]

The two best watches channels! Very excited to listen to this!

[@reedarvin7823]

You guys are such a great channel, but you're losing me with the "Rolex DESTROYED" clickbait titles and the constant shilling for more viewers. I get it - viewers are necessary - but if you lose your identity I don't see the point. Best wishes to you all, but copy/paste thumbnails just make you look more like everyone else. Loved this video, btw. But your channel is so cool - it deserves its own look.

[@SuperAwesomeace]

Andrew and Tom have had Jenni and Nico on the channel. Now they have Teddy. I think you guys have completed the "Holy Trinity".

[@AliasVeter]

Nice podcast. Who is next? Urban gentry?

[@dmarti47]

Great conversation, guys! It felt so short, I wished it went on for longer (podcast idea?). W&Co, TB and TGV have paved the way for many of the newer, honest, and serious watch content creators.

[@nikkolomakaveli8295]

The crossover we didn’t know we needed what an excellent conversation

[@chubbylegend]

Great collab. So much knowledge, and Teddy is great at identifying really good examples of watches for a particular buyer within a particular market. That's an enviable talent to have.

[@MyVideosWillCalmU]

This conversation went together like magic. Two of my channels. Great listen, thank you 👍🏾

[@KeepingWatchUK]

2 giants of the watch world in collaboration! Gonna enjoy this one 🍻

[@endautrestermes]

Giants ?

[@calvin10]

Not the collab we expected but Can we have more crossover? :D

[@jasonchatham4170]

Now we need to congratulate Teddy on collecting Courtney Ryan. He added a stunning wife to the collection. Good job Teddy 😎

[@muhammadrizkyadrian6448]

I know nico is kinda new in terms of "watchtube" but i think we can agree that right now watchfinder, teddy and nico is the big three of watch KZbin U want entertaining content go to nico U want more diverse content go to teddy U want story telling go to watchfinder

[@Jasonkenny-]

I’d add Adrian at Bark and Jack to that list.

[@matthewstrobelt564]

Love it. Thanks for representing Cleveland and NE Ohio, sending love from Canton, OH!!

[@Sams911]

this guy actually has the hottest girlfriend... I used to watch her channel for dating advice... I should watch his, he landed her..

[@kevinmccalister8197]

I feel like Teddy has gotten quite generic over the last year or so. This video was very refreshing though.

[@Jack.Napier]

Legendary Episode. The best of the best. Guys you did it again. Thanks for this nice episode. I can't describe how I feel, but this is it, Teddy, Andrew and Tom, what more can a watch enthusiast want?? 🔥🔥🔥✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@4uvvvak]

Hello from Ukraine! You guys are awesome! Great job!

[@dannysimenauer5745]

Very interesting conversation between 2 well known KZbin channels. Also liked the focus on value brands instead of the hyped models.

[@huib1965]

I love your videos and admire the craftsmanship of these high-end watches. When I go to a store, however, to see them in person (Rolex, Grand Seiko, Omega etc. ) I am so underwhelmed. The dial on the video is seen much better but in real person everything is so tiny, the finishing is nice but seeing it in real person it just doesn’t ring a bell. I really do like them, but I think something about them says it is not for me.

[@MarcoCarag]

This is a great interview - thank you! I think it's very admirable how Teddy gets excited just off of others' excitement. I feel that's a rare quality; many folks, myself included, don't get fired up by what others get fired up about, or it can be very one way - and that can severely limit our ability to connect. So cheers to Teddy for being such an admirable personality in the hobby.

[@fernandoespinosa8055]

Very nice collab! I´m a fan of both channels, Teddy is very knowledgeble, great production and presentation., very positive in his opinions, I prefer that against the hate and pretentious channels. With you guys it´s all about the watch, and cero hate. Greetings from MX.

[@briane1116]

Huge fan of Teddy and LOVE when watch channels do cool crossovers like this one ☺️

[@MrZB-ie8zv]

Guys, an excellent content as always. I would to ask to do a video about the Certina. It has a great horology and innovations. Thanks

[@djisar-official]

A few grand? Nomos Club Nemoatik all day, every day.

[@zeiss72]

Finally the collaboration that we’ve been waiting for!

[@watcheswithabdullah]

IT HAPPENED! IT HAS... FINALLY... HAPPENED!!!! 🤩🥳

[@seaweed719]

Teddy is way better than Nico.

[@lordcharfield4529]

Sadly, Nico is a lovely bloke, but a tad vulgar 😂

[@BlackWipeout]

Great interview, what is funny with this series, all the guests so far who have come, I've been a subscriber with them for a while. Next ? The Urban Gentry maybe ;)

[@RobinsWatchJourney]

Teddy was one of the biggest influences on me when I was getting into the watch hobby and I still enjoy and learn from his videos. Thanks for having him on the channel.

[@robertschmidt9584]

You’d think Teddy wasn’t even able to grow peach fuzz with the throwback video.

[@leonphung7812]

The collaborate we all wanted but we don't deserve

[@ItsNeverTooHot4Leather]

You won't know just how correct Wilhelm Schmid is until you browse the selection of vintage Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin dress watches for $5,000-10,000. Avoiding the hype watches is the best way to find some great vintage gems.

[@hitchhicker92]

OGs meet OG, what a pleasure to see this collab... ❤ u guys!! Despite you being the main culprits me having this sickness 😅🙈

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Omg. Teddy’s first video is still better than the videos I’m making a year in! 😂😂

[@brianhilsden2880]

Love this series of collaborations you’re doing.

[@kiwi_commander]

These episodes have to be my favorites. Not only because to get to chat with other youtubers but you get to listen and learn about them on a more personal level. For example, the story about Teddy's Grandfather and his watch was fantastic. Please keep going with these episodes, they are fantastic!

[@HRM.H]

Bulbasaur and the legendary talking hands, a lethal combo

[@robinmarples5198]

This guy also have a fragrance chanel.

[@robynjones4497]

Love the collaboration videos. Controversial opinion: Teddy's early days were HEAVILY influenced by TGV - whether he would admit it or not, his collection was pretty much the exact pieces TGV would discuss in his videos. For all the controversy surrounding him, some of it well deserved, TGV has had a significant influence on the watch-buying public.

[@stupidocanerosa]

Ok. Waiting for Fed now... Thanks to Teddy for this relaxing chat. He blends perfectly in this format. And as always, well done guys.

[@bobchristian3560]

Hey Teddy it's your favorite cousin Bob here in KC. Ya know I've always admired your JLC.....................

[@ofmanynicknames]

“Break down your barriers, put you in a weak spot, and then we can carry on talking” ah, it’s the Hot Ones approach to interviews.

[@RamPatten]

"Isn't that what drug dealers do...?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Easily two of my favourite channels combine for some horological conversation mastery. Huzzah!

[@anthonystevens8683]

Many thanks all for sharing, a very good open and grounded discussion. Thankyou very much for sharing. Oh and I have to agree with Teddy on the Sector dial from Longines, the PRX.... I could go on.

[@jamesherrington5606]

The watch community, particularly the watch KZbinrs who sell watches, collaborating is amazing! I bought a Marathon Navi from Marc at Long Island Watch and plan on buying an Islander from him. Then supporting Teddy (and by then Teddy + Courtney). Keeping an eye on Watchfinder and maybe Nico at Pride & Pinion if he has a truly affordable option. I don’t want a zillion watches but definitely a few

[@Dragon_rls]

First one’s free is urban legend. Veteran drug abuser back in the 80s . No freebies.

[@BabyJesus66]

Teddy is great because he's not a watch snob and doesn't act like the only watch that exists is a Rolex (insert random serial number in a accent of your choice).

[@24934637]

I'm fairly new to watch collecting, and I'm sure that my collection is far smaller, and less financially significant than most. Anything from a Casio F91-W and 'World timer at the lower end to a Doxa Sub 200 C-Graph, 300T and 200 at the more expensive end. Currently on about 20 watches, and that is FAR more than I 'need', yet there are still more watches that I 'want'. It's a difficult hobby to control, but then again, so is skydive which was my last interest.

[@dultanur]

Love the dynamic duo and love Teddy, this video was a winner before it started. Turned out even better. Keep these collabs going, they are great. P.S. If we crazies could choose just one watch, we wouldn't have 50 stuffed in drawers and boxes and hidden wife proof compartments. Be realistic please :)))

[@Youtubefana]

“I am learning something new about watches everyday”. Dude thinks talking about over priced watches with that shark tank fellow is like an engineer / scientist etc. actually learning about useful things. 😂 get real.

[@DavidSmith-sy2bp]

Good conversation gents

[@hectormartinez100]

I don't like Teddy I like his girlfriend 😁. Kidding. He Sort of... I pay to be famous valid still not really.

[@steveb4012]

The Dream Team....The Avengers or Justice League of the watch world! Brilliant.

[@Juanjo191]

Finally!! Great episode, two of the greatest together. It's like when the power rangers of different generations crossed over lol

[@rho16710]

Maybe get a “class” photo next year at W&W Geneva with Tim M., Andrew, Teddy, Jennie, Adrian, Gringa, Anna…

[@alexzorkin9470]

Mr. lug-to-lug 😁😁😁

[@j.vanguard4654]

He seems okay but he is basically only a watch dealer pushing his brands. Therefore he always speaks positively about those watches he sells. No real objectivity.

[@LesterLovesWatches]

Great interview. Talking of the younger generation what happened to Armand of Watch Chronicler? No videos for ages.

[@tonib5899]

Andrew Thankyou for having Teddy on, he is a true gent.he shares his passion and takes time to give advice and make sure you get the right watch for you, U.K

[@SP-pn7xx]

I hate Teddy's fans. You can always tell they have no knowledge of their own and just quote his videos verbatim

[@TheBurg229]

I feel ashamed that I've watched Watchfinder longer, but bought a watch from Teddy first.

[@marcosnasser287]

Couple of the legit watch KZbinrs, Teddy is the reason why I'm into watches for a couple of (intense) months.

[@V0idFace]

Better question: does anyone really care what Teddy Bulbasaur thinks? About anything…?

[@Not-a-bot222]

Two of the best here! Great episode fellas, I really enjoy the collabs and creator background.

[@tuber6382]

Now that I understand watches I'm no longer into mechanical pieces. It's like after driving an electric car you just are no longer interested in gasoline engines

[@son8128]

We need Barker from bark and jack

[@billbouldin2969]

Yo TB! A really big show - BRAVO!

[@davidc5191]

My favorite Teddy videos are those with his girlfriend, where she tries to guess the value of his watches, and he tries to guess the value of her personal products.

[@MrPauoa]

Great interview, it reminds us of everyone’s humanity and to enjoy what we love, watches.

[@aaronjones1106]

No idea you were out of Cleveland!! Down here in Canton, love the content, thank you!

[@brinx8634]

Teddy. I found you thanks to Phatty Luxury....remember him?

[@BabyJesus66]

Why didn't I get notifications for this, two of my favorite watch channels collab? 😤

[@allovered10]

3 of my favorites talking watches!!! Jona should be the the next guest

[@johnturnerjr7221]

Watchfinder guys, keep this interview format going. This is golden content!

[@Bleppity]

I think I saw Teddy at the Boston airport a week ago. He has a very nice suitcase. Boy likes to spend 😂😂😂

[@miguela.velazquez5027]

Great interview. Congratulation guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheBelse]

Dream gig ...how cool is this ..my top two geezers in the industry ....both amazing.

[@stasekerl8283]

Love the video, what do you guys think of the longines spirit?

[@jamiemccue761]

Really enjoyed listening to this. I also find it infectious when people are interestingly interested.

[@stevenmccarthy112]

These watch gurus who have never designed or built or even serviced a watch really make me laugh.

[@Marc_prime]

Great interview, I greatly appreciate the discussions on the business side as well.

[@ZeroSOFInfinity]

What's next WF? Frederico? Adrian? WatchGringa? TTT?

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Teddy is a legend 👏
