Teddy, as a change of pace, consider making a video with a few popular and versatile watches (like Omega Seamaster Pro 300m) showcasing the difference changing straps can make to the appearance for different uses. Dressing up and dressing down. Bracelet, rubber, leather, canvas, nato, vintage leather and fabrics. That kind of thing. This would be a welcome change to most KZread watch content that just encourages viewers to buy more and more watches.

Great idea!

I got me a Timex a few years ago. Cost about $40. It's my one-and-done because I live in the middle of Maine and our fancy clothes are flannel shirts without holes in them. My Timex had a date window on it, that's pretty baller around here. I'd say it was worth the money. 🧐

Another awesome video Teddy, you continue to bring so much variety to these conversations. Appreciate what you do!

If this is the "1 and done", why is power reserve so important? I think we put too much emphasis on power reserve. We were all happy with 40 hours, then 70 came along. And soon that won't be enough. We are a very picky bunch.

Agreed! I remember asking about a discount on a Tudor Black Bay (in-house movement) at an AD a few years ago. AD said no discounts but they were gifting a watch winder. Why bother with a watch winder for a watch with a 70hr power reserve? 😂😂😂😂

I have the globemaster in silver dial with steel bracelet. I bought separately the leather strap. My favorite watch by far, like it more than my Submariner Date and my Cartier Santos. Whenever I take out my watch tools and change strap to bracelet or viceversa, I enjoy those couple of minutes like nothing else. Much more than just those quick release systems. Perfect size, looks right in every situation, wearing joggers, jeans and t shirts of my humble company, a polo, shirt, sweater , of any color , but like it specifically the most wearing black or gray specially on the strap. And that applied star and Omega logo with the Globemaster lettering, wow.

Hi Teddy, great video as always! Any reason why the aqua terra didn’t make the honorabel mentions list? Keep up the good work! 😄

My favorite and on my radar is Santos de Cartier. What a watch. Dressy, sporty... and you can swap bracelet for strap on the fly.

Got mine last month. I could easily never buy another watch. Incredibly versatile, class, and beautiful.

Amazing content as always Teddy, learning so much from you. Honest question, how long have you been lifting? Are you bulking up or is that the lighting and outfits? 💪🏻

I bought the new Tudor Ranger because I thought it would be a great beater watch. Now it rarely leaves my wrist. It's low-key, uncomplicated and bulletproof.

I have always thought and still do, that my 2014 39mm Explorer is the perfect all around watch. However, I recently picked up the Longines Spirit Zulu Time(green bezel)and think it is close. If you swap out the strap for their bracelet it dresses up nicely and the beauty is it all quick release. Takes under a minute. Happy you included the Bathyscaphe in your video. Another great watch you can wear in the boardroom or the clubhouse.

The Odysseus was a limited edition that was sold out the day it was launched last year. Teddy shouldn’t be highlighting such a timepiece for this video.

I have three in my collection that fit straight up into this genre. A white/silver Aqua Terra in 38.5mm, the OP 39 in blue and a very spectacular yet underrated Tudor Style in 38mm with a black dial on stainless steel. By the way this Tudor is the most underrated watch in the whole watch game, however it is maybe the most elegant and affordable Tudor.

My ETA Pelagos is that watch. I have a pretty small collection of watches but the Tudor is the only I one I reach for when I can’t decide what to wear that day. Thanks for another great vid Teddy!

Awesome list and reviews! I loved it!

Thank you for another great video mate. I enjoyed every second. Please keep it coming.

Teddy, thank you for another great video. I was looking for my first GS to mark giving my daughter away this June (I love my MarineMaster btw). Wearing a medium blue custom suit and was at my local AD. Initially drawn to the SBGA375 and that deep blue dial, spring drive and 44GS case. But then he showed me the SBGH295. That dial is spectacular. The 62 GS wears a bit smaller on my 6.5 wrist. I am looking to the Jedi Master of Horology, Teddy B for advice.

Great video as always! Looking forward to a video about "The choice of the 2nd watch in the collection after the 1st everyday-style watch".

Your videos are outstanding, Teddy! Keep them coming.

Not sure that a long power reserve really matters if the watch is your one and done. Accuracy would be more important to me.

Teddy, I agree, the blue Globemaster is an one watch collection. But also the blue Railmaster is unique and the blue GS SLGA 007 ditto. Basically, then you are ready. :)

💯 respect Teddy. Is awesome to hear you addressing this topic despite being the most important KZread figure in the watch industry. This speaks of the great person you are.

Thanks for sharing your horological knowledge Teddy. 👍

One and Done, that's a hard one. For the real world where I could afford one of these, I love the Longines Zulu Time, great for both casual and a bit dressy (Longines has quite a few watches that I'd consider as a one-and-done watch that doesn't break the bank), . The Baume & Mercier would be great if about a 38mm or 40mm, a beautiful design. The Grand Seiko (this one or any one) would be on the high end of my list. So would the Omega Globemaster if I were especially flushed with cash at some point. Now, the dream watch, where money is no object and having a single watch is probably unthinkable: either the VC Overseas (a real beauty, and I particularly love the bracelet), or the Patek Aquanaut (I find it oddly appealing, though I'd probably go with the VC. This Patek is kind of understated, which can be a good thing). Teddy, you really make it hard to choose just one in these reviews.

Fantastic video, and I'm sure we all here have our favorites. In this day and age of throw-away items, it gives me great pleasure to wear my Rolex Explorer II (Calibre 3285) day after day and witness its shear perfection with regard to stability, robustness and astonishing accuracy. It's been literally running now for several years and is within a few seconds of UTC. The white dial and black hands provide one of the most easy-to-read dials, IMHO. Truly my personal "One And Done" watch - I'm confident it will be running a hundred years from now without fail.

this video review is a gem. I missed seeing it when it first was released, and I'm glad I found it.

Teddy, Outstanding presentation with a thorough review of a variety of great watches. Rolex Submariner is #1 on my list with Omega as #2. I’m still looking at the Grand Seiko as a possible add to my collection. I also like a variety of Micro watch products. Cheers

Submariner is so overpriced and basic nowadays. It was a great pick 10-15years ago.

Love the Tudor Ranger! Its been everything I've needed in a robust watch!

Those grand seiko dials are insane. There is nothink like it, saw one that mimics the waves of a lake in japan, absolutely stunning.

Hey Teddy, peculiar choice with the Defy... Don't you think the Revival or Chronomaster are more everyday/versatile? Thank you

Hey Teddy, great video as usual. And great jacket too, what brand is this jacket ?

That Baume & Mercier Riviera is absolutely stunning.

Thank you Teddy for great reviews, I believe the only watch concept its not valid now days with the huge options in the market, it’s would be great if you make a review on what are the best 3-5 options. The other big issues is brands making collectibility almost impossible to new collectors & allowing grey market to grow.

Hello from Central PA! YES, close to RGM, that I didn't know ANYTHING about, despite living here my entire life! I'm just beginning to explore watches, and appreciate the vast knowledge you share. Have you done anything on watch storage, service, and collection sizes? Many of us would be curious about what a long-time collection looks like. Thanx again for all the hard work!

Just picked up my Ranger today. Love it!

Great video. Interesting resting hearing your take. Curious why you did not include a Tag watch like the Carrera day/date?

I was just looking for some watch books, very nice timing

Rock solid selection, Theodore. Well done! 🥃👌

This is a great video. I get that one and done is not necessarily what we are all here for but this does make a heck of a video for the everyday watch category collectors also like. Personally I have loved the Overseas for decades and remember when you could get one any day of the week for 10K (not that I had 10K to throw down on a watch back then or now even), but, that Globemaster is stunning. So glad they went back to the late 60's Genta case.

I bought the Nomos Tangente blue gold as a dress watch and catch myself wearing it every day. I bought the matching metal band to give it a more casual look.

Love this real world summary….and now Horological books on top 😊😊😊😊

Great video Teddy! I'm surprised you didn't mention Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Awesome to see something a little different Teddy, great video

My favorite out of all of these is the a lange odysseus; I would probably get the titanium one if I had the money. The Grand Seiko or the Nomos are my 2nd favorites out of this list. Blancpain is great too and the Fifty fathoms is pretty iconic but I am not a big dive watch guy; I also wish the bathyscape came with a bracelet (I have an older Leman Dual timer which I wear practically every day). Btw, I wonder if you have plans to do a review of the Zenith defy revivals that just came out recently... I like the skyline and the original as well as the other variations (specifically the all ceramic El Primero skeleton defy) but the revival is really cool. The only thing that stops me from buying one is that I am not sure how good is bracelet is and whether or not it has half links or a quick release (I also currently own a Capitan Elite dual timer which also features a similar elite movement). I am surprised you didn't put any Cartier on here; their watches are a revelation when you do get into them. Also the prasha is a fantastic little watch; its even a genta design like the AP royal oak or the Patek Nautilus.

Hi, Teddy thank you 4 all the nice videos. 👍 I am missing one great brand in all your videos Carl F. Bucherer 🤔

The Longines Zulu is looking mighty good. Been waiting to purchase an explorer II, one year later with my local AD…no luck…I may be going the Longines route. I also like the Grand Seiko SBGN005.

I bought an Omega AT pretty much exactly one year ago, and it's been on my wrist every single day since. I am obviously interested in having others as well, such as the Explorer and the Speedy, but man does this one do the trick for any occasion.

Glad you included the Nomos Club Sport, although for the money I would go with the 42 with date and 300 w/r. If we’re talking one watch that does it all, might as well have a date. If money is no object, the Odysseus is top shelf.

Hey Teddy, I was wondering what’s your opinion on the Seiko SRPH17 and SRPH15?

My take on this: GMT Watches are the best daily wear/one and done watches. Just got my second GMT in (the Traska venturer GMT) and I don’t think you can beat it for let’s say 2500$. First of all it costs around 700$ has a travellers gmt function. Perfect sizing (38,5mm diameter/46mm lug to lug I think/ 20mm lug size so it would fit all of you favourite straps)! The bracelet is better than the one on my BB58 in my opinion and I has the hardness coating so it won’t scratch easily. Drilled lugs. 4Hz movement. And it’s Thinnnnn. This watch is actually incredible and I feel like even Christopher ward doesn’t stand a chance against the value of this one…. Change my mind:)

Great! Like your jacket Teddy

I love the rolex datejust, I wear my 16200 every day and I think it's excellent in any situation. stainless steel watches with integrated bracelets, maybe with a white or silver dial are perfect every time (I have a silver dial with no numbers on it, it's just stunning every time I look at it)

Wonderful video sir! I would love to see a video about the one and only watch with the day-date functions. The mere fact that I never have to check my phone for the date, day, or time is a true luxury to me - you could easily call that a privilege, but its more of the Best functional tool watch. I have a green 39mm Seiko 5 ports automatik gifted from in-law as a bday present and I Love it due to the every day function of day, date, time. But the crystal is a scratch magnate due to my job! As the collection stands, sold my 39mm explorer and have a 39mm black dial OP as my dress watch(/first luxury watch) and of course the day-date green dial Seiko 5 as my work/everyday. I would love to see a day-date one and done video, I understand if the A. Lange & Sohne will be the same spot due to its amazingness (a grail piece if done with the right green/black dial) but I would love to see your take to see if there is any watches I've missed while trying to hunt for the most accurate first - then robust day date. have a great weekend -Dave

Great vid Teddy!! Lots of great choices. That Moser dial is spectacular! 💙 $7500 for Globemaster? A tad too high IMO for an Omega 3 hand date. Omega prices running too high on current models.

I've got the GS soko frost model and would recommend it without reservation. It's a masterpiece.

Hey Teddy, how would this watch or the Longine Spirit Zulutime wear on an 8” to 8 1/2” wrist? Will it look small? I usually wear something around a 44mm watch

Just picked up a SBGX343 as a GADA, 9F quartz, two tone lume, anti-mag, 40mm diameter and 44mm lug to lug, 4 o'clock crown, perfect!

A nice variety of watches to choose from.

Thanks Teddy!

Great video Teddy! I noticed on dial of the Baume & Mercier Baumatic two black dots, close to the two and eight hours markers. The dots look really odd and out of place on a $3.7k watch. Anyone else noticed that??

Great Video 👍🏻 i would prefere the Aqua terra over the globemaster

I do like that Baume & Mercier Riviera.

Earlier in my collection journey these type of watches were so much to my taste. But I had to learn that this versatility leads to almost never wearing them and choosing something more specific to the occasion each time instead. While I would still recommend these watches to people who aren't into watches, I slowly sold all of them from my collection. (and kept a proper dress watch, a proper sporty watch, 1 or 2 in between, and a tool watch).

which ones did you keep

I purchased my Tudor Ranger last month for this very reason. One watch for any/every day for the long haul. Do I want other watches? Sure. But this watch keeps me extremely satisfied. I love this as a tool watch that wasn't crazy expensive, rugged, great movement. Plus I like the bracelet better than other Tudors. Highly recommend. Plus no photos do it justice. Wear one before you judge!

I have a question regarding the accuracy, my watch goes fast everyday a sec or two… in a few days it will be 15-20secs or more faster. I tried to rest it at night or day crown down or up or crystal down or up it doesnt slow the seconds. How is your accuracy? I have this also for a month and I dont want to bring it in yet for service or to check… it might be break-in period? Please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Aqua Terra is the ultimate one and done IMO. Pick your colour and size, I went green 41mm.

Looking sharp!

Fast forward to today, would you consider the Nomos Ahoi Neomatik 38 date a one and done watch?

What are your thoughts on the Breitling Aerospace? I've always thought the watch was a fine candidate for a one and only watch, considering its numerous functions.

Question on setting the time: when you push-in back the crown, does the minute hand jump out of the desired time setting?

Great video.I'd pick your GS pick in your latest shipping comp with Kevin

Fantastico, thank you

I found my ‘one and done’ with my JLC Geophysic 1958. All i need !

Maybe expand on the $1000 - $5000 range. I know for some this kind of stretches the idea of "affordable" since it doesn't cover the sub $1000 range, but those reviews are quite easy to find. This range moves upscale a bit and gets into some of the near luxury brands as well as the lower end of a few luxury watches.

Having to decide on one only - at this point - the presented Omega, the Rolex, the Moser and of course the Lange would work for me . . .

Longines zulu gmt is beautiful, blue on blue leather strap looks amazing.

The big reference books are well worth getting. Fortunately my AD has given me the Rolex and JLC ones when buying from them :)

Great video. Personally, I would love to see Cartier included too.

That Overseas is a grail watch for me. Very beautiful. So many nice watches out there, so little money in my pocket.

That Grand Seiko! That dial is gorgeous

The Globemaster is very overlooked but I like that watch a lot.

Is there a waitlist for grand seiko or you can buy one immediately from a boutique?
