As a collection, i think you both came out equal. Both collections had 4 watches i would keep, two throw backs, and both were missing the "finer things club" watch, something on nice leather, solid gold and elegant not flashy. For Michael I would have kicked back the Seiko 5 and the Omega Chrono, for Teddy I would have kicked back the Oris and the Longines, all for the same reasons. They seemed to double up on purpose and/or appearance and we are trying to build a collection with limits, so you need to cover as many applications as possible, and i think both collections are missing the watch to wear on a sophisticated, dress up, date night.

Love watching these videos you do, Teddy, with these respectable lovers of watches! Love their personalities and good sportsmanship on one another’s choices. But especially love the humor! Choices on each side were great! Michael and Adam had some really good “affordable” choices for those who are not able to spend $1000.00 on a watch, especially in this time that the majority of the population is now experiencing. So thumbs up to him! But I will have to say, your choices were very classy. One can see and tell how much work and research you put into your love of collecting beautiful and well made watches. Continue doing more - these videos are hits! That’s because the genuine love and interest of the collector is truly revealed - it’s magical! (Can you do one for woman’s watches for us women? Collaborating with women who collect watches - your fiancée’s approval of course! And/or with the collectors that you already have a good business relationship with. I look forward to seeing).

We would love to hear your thoughts on the best, most innovative, most impactful to the industry pieces from the decades past (e.g. This year, you might do videos on best of 1982; 1972; 1962 and so on. Next year videos on the best of 1983; 1973; etc) For those celebrating milestone birthdays, it may be helpful to have a reference point. Thanks as always for the great content!

I like the variety of Producer Michael's (well, Adam Swords picked out a lot of the most daring pieces haha), but Teddy's was a lot more consistent and had just enough diversity and interesting pieces to edge it out. Either way, very fun time!

Love producer Michael, but that was a clear win for Teddy. I would have gone for a Tudor black bay 58, casioak with metal case, cartier tank, tissot prx and a vintage omega with pie pan dial! What a dream collection that is!

Teddy you're in my hood 😊. I go there all the time and also recently picked up a longines heritage military. I've had countless watches serviced there as well including my family heirloom 73 Speedmaster. Great place and great service there.

That was fun. My choice is Teddy, but he works in this price range, to be fair. Feldmar looks great. I haven't been there in years; I remember the older store which was a mishmash of older 60's/70's looking architecture, fittings, etc. Kudos to them for letting them film at their store.

@@bdegrds Not a single one of those watches are disposable, well maybe the smart watch, Seiko is a solid brand so it's Luminox so it's Casio, those are life long watches, it might not be your style or taste but it doesn't make them disposable in no way shape or form, does Tudor have and edge in finishing over Tissot or the other less expensive watches? Sure, so does the Longines or the Oris, but it's way closer in longevity than people think, and to be honest the titanium G shock is probably better fished than anything apart from the Omega both in Michael's picks, so your arguments are really thin, it's better for you to just say that you only like near "luxury" name brands, it would at least be a true statement, and that's fine.

@@bdegrds Not think, it is a fact, the case will be in the higher end possible in that price bracket for finishing, it is not the same level as the regular g shock finish, which to be honest is already close to be on par with Tudor and Oris, being a quartz watch they don't need movement finish so its a mute point, and the bracelet is about the same quality as well, decent but not amazing, the price to service it it's getting lower and lower and I know plenty of people that did serviced their old Seiko for a few hundred bucks and got a very well regulated watch for a couple decades because they like the watch, if you don't think it's worth it that's on you, thinking it isn't worth it and being not worth it are two very different things, you can also just get a new movement for 50 bucks and pay 50 bucks for someone to install and regulate it, and you'll have a super accurate watch, you can even do it yourself and get a bit of fun out of it, the fact is, if you want, for a thousand bucks, you can probably have a regulated seiko for over a century with current prices, it's more than the price of the watch? Sure, but who cares? It's cheap, and if you like the watch it's worth it, plus the fact that many of those watches, if well taken care of, will be - 30 seconds to - a couple minutes a day 25 years from now, and most people could absolutely use it like that no problems as a daily, adjusting every morning, like anyone that has more than 5 watches and rotate them already does.

Michael's choice look eclectic like one starting from 0 would have 👍 I prefer Teddy's pick on this one. The seiko and omega overlap does make it feel like an "upgrade" one might make but on a contest like this having both, Im not sure of.

Great comeback by Teddy. Half way through it was all about Michael.

A collab that I've been waiting forever for - Michael wins this time!

Michael wins 🏆 with a little help from his wingman Adam. Actually Adam was way more comfortable and knowledgeable than Michael in this entry level watch segment. Kudos to Adam for his seiko 5 sport orange pick Amazing 👏 But teddy's knowledge is unbeatable what a joy listening his opinions. Amazing episode 👏

Teddy by a landslide. The couple picked all quartz watches and didn''t seem to have any particular taste in watches @ all.

Totally not true, but I do know this price range well. Just an enthusiast with a passion for this stuff!

I'll have to go with Teddy's selection. It's almost perfect. Only thing I'd change would be BB58 steel instead of silver and replace the Longines Zulu time with the Omega Railmaster.

Thank you Teddy for this hilarious vid and to Pruducer Michael &Co, this vid has been so amuse!. Your selection smells so classy and stylish, so being true at the same time Mr. Michael´s has done well too, but more oriented for the youngsters. Saludos!

For stepping out of his comfort zone. i feel like Michael did a solid job. Not only did he hit a category Teddy didn't (GMT), but he also gave a variety of digitals, & a Piece Unique in the vintage Omega. But if I had to select one of the two. I do feel that Teddy's was the winner. the blend of every day + dress + casual won out in my opinion. Also nice to see Longines get some love w/ their new Zulu time. They're a brand with heritage that i feel flies under the radar & cudos for getting a silver watch (as much as i'm not a huge nato fan)

For once, I seem to be in the minority. Outside of the Longines Zulu Time, I have to go whole heartedly with PM/Adam's choices. Didn't care for their Luminox pick but everything else was fantastic. Regardless, it was fantastic to see you do a video with these two! With a rematch with Mr. Wonderful is inevitable, I do hope to see you collab with other YTers with this format. Awesome work as always Teddy!

I wasn't able to secure an anOrdain recently when waitlist call came which means I'm gutted. But that Nomos is surprisingly nice in the same vein. (Also, that silver Tudor is my favourite watch currently on the market.)

The difference in decor between this store out west and the stores in New York is just Next level. The stores in NY look like 5th could also sell Ferraris, this store looks like you could also buy pots and pans.

the fact that Adam knows all about Seiko says to me that Michael isn't paying him enough lol

What I learnt was just how little Michael knows about watches. For him it's all about the cost and showing off rather than the horology. Honestly, I believe you need an understanding of watches at all price points to truly understand the value in high end pieces

Between the two videos with Producer Michael and 🧸, this is mu favorite video.

This is the most humbling content you had so far Teddy I love it
