Three watch collection: Longines Hydroconquest - ceramic bezel range - I like the grey dial but would suggest the blue or black Orient Polaris GMT - great complication, beautiful, stylish G Shock - Mudman. G-9300-1 It will do everything for you

Just a recommendation Teddy, I have a really really small wrist struggling to buy proper short straps online. Have you got any good suggestions for (105mm-65mm) straps with different combinations of lug sizes? Thanks in advance.

Really appreciate you not taking endorsements to support brands. I feel like I can always get your honest opinion on a watch and on brands. Props to you!

Doxa, Casio Duro, Certina, Glycine, Tissot, Longines, Seiko. All amazing recommendations and I'm proud to say a few are in my collection. Great vid.

Loving the series, Teddy. Very smart choices

Teddy, I think your channel is one of the best watch channels out there. I find you unpretentious, genuine and just down to earth, where most others, while they have great content too, are not. I also like the way that you are not too salesy as well. Keep up the great work man!

You’re the reason why I got a junghan max Bill Chronoscope a few months ago! Currently getting its plexiglass crystal replaced with a sapphire crystal. Keep it up Teddy!

Congratulations Teddy! Big move and happy to see the development and passion! :) Wish you all the best with the new venture!

Hey, your voice is calming, thanks. I was kinda drunk and I can't sleep because my head hurts but your video calms me down haha Edit: I hope my watch is okay, I was wearing a classic casio calculator watch because I didn't want to destroy my other watches

Great video! Love this kind of content, I always learn something new and see different watches in a new perspective. Really well done, Teddy!

Love the addition of the Three Watch Collection! I felt that persona was missing last vid. Great vid as always.

What confuses me about the Longines Conquest is the black dial has "painted" hour markers and indexes and the silver and blue dials have "applied" according the Longines website. I've always assumed applied was better than painted? Am I missing something?

Thanks for the great video, Teddy. It looks like allot of effort was put in for it. Had it playing while I was working, so I didn't get it all. I will replay later when it's quiet.

Very smart to have different personas there. Also great quality in terms of selections and editing and narration. Teddy you came a long way gotta say. Keep it up.

Hey Teddy, thanks for doing this. I liked your presentations. I just signed up for your newsletter too. I'm a relative noob so I'd like to know more about the watches you recommend that make them worthwhile. Some brand have a special feature, such as IWC's fast moving hands when changing time. It would be fun to see what proprietary features there are for certain brands. I think it would also be fun to watch an episode on watches that tend to increase in value over time and/or increase in interest/demand. Keep up the great work.

Teddy! What a slam dunk! killing it as always. Love the site, with the new watches and the range carving out a little niche amongst the other offerings. Looks slick, best of luck. I'm gonna go browse now!

Wow. Great choices all around. I don’t think I can argue with any of those. And I can’t wait to check out the web site. You’re crushing it, Teddy.

Congratulation on your new site and focus. I enjoy your presentation and opinion and look forward to more of these as you climb the range to $5K & $10K budgets.

Teddy, you remembered the Longines Conquest for me. Thank you.

Glad to see Weiss Watches shown because they don't get mentioned often. I actually bought one recently and excited to see it shipped today. Not many companies are taking the extra mile to build a watch almost entirely in the US, with US parts, and even an in house movement with their American line.

Nice video like always Teddy! I'm a "check all boxes" kind of collector but lately I been more into vintage watches. It will be nice if you can make a video in the near future about vintage watches with a $2,000 budget. Take care!

Great format, I've enjoyed this and the previous video! Thanks Teddy, you've provided some inspiration.

A really nice presentation of watches in that sweet spot of $500 to $1200 - a really good selection of watches. Anything over $3000 is getting out of range for many in your audience. Keep up the good work.

Congrats on this new venture. Wishing you a great success.

Organized flow and well researched content! I love your videos. Thanks for making them. Truly helpful!

Teddy, these “perfect x watch collection” videos are amazing, thank you for these. I get a great introduction to models and even makers I’d never heard of. Do you have a recommendation for a modern automatic watch that would be an homage to an Explorer or Air King, other than an actual Rolex? Something in the 34-36mm size? Tons of options at 40mm, but I’m starting to really appreciate more traditional sized watches, and I just can’t find anything, other than going vintage, or just to Rolex themselves, which can be mildly obnoxious.

Wow, great selection, Teddy! I've never agreed with such a high percentage of your choices, and your reasoning behind them was very well thought out. I also like the swapping out colorways you did in some cases (i.e. Doxa) in the graphics. Very slick. For $2K, I'd go Doxa Sub 200, Hamilton Khaki Pilot (the one from Interstellar), and a Timex Marlin Automatic. I already have my eye on the Doxa (please do a review on it) and Hamilton. Dress watches aren't high use for me, so a dress watch isn't my top priority at the moment.

Hey man, you made simply a super video. Fresh, direct and precise. Awesome.

As well as the Sinn I’d consider a Damasko in the one-watch category. Beautiful timepiece and absolutely bulletproof.

well played Teddy! You're really filling a good space for the enthusiasts....keep going.

Congratulations Teddy.’Our Promise’ is a good touch.

Hi Teddy! Loved the video and per your suggestion I would like to add my two cents. I am the kind of extremes type guy, by which I mean I like my very presentable dress watch to wear in the office, but I also like my adventure / diving watch to be hard as nails. So my two options: dress watch - Junghans Max Bill date automatic for USD 1.200 or there about; and Seiko King Turtle SRPE05, to which would add a bracelet to bring the price up to USD 800. That makes it USD 2.000 on the dot and also makes me a very happy persona (as you say). All the best!

Seiko 5 and 120 nato straps

Tried finding the 1K video by searching for watch collector types. Yet those words are not in the type or description. Glad I saw this one. Cheers.

Waiting on the 5000 dollars version, enjoyed this video very much, thanks for great content.

Awesomely organized and well done as usual! keep it up!!

The format of these videos are really really nice! Keep it up with the creativity!

This is gold. Thank you for this video Ted

I though you would choose the Maurice Lacroix Aikon blue dial for the 1 watch persona, I'm very very tempted to buy it, it is such a great looking watch, and actually fairly versatile in my opinion.

Extremely well done. You are building an awesome brand!

The Oris big crown pointer date is just a remarkable watch. I have owned mine for a year now and I still find the light blue dial with the coin edged bezel breathtaking. A perfect versatile option in a collection.

Hey Teddy, great video. Completely agree on the longines conquest. Depending where someone lives, swatch group has their wholesale store hour passion, and they had some watches at 50%, for $600-800 for the conquest it’s a fantastic watch. Congratulations on the new website! 👍🤙 what about Rado?

Christopher Ward is an amazing brand, I have their C60 Trident Chronograph Pro 600, or “Big Blue”, and man is that thing a powerhouse. The strongest watch I own and the quality and craftsmanship is just stunning, easily one of my favorites.

Love your Chanel! Started out with Tissot visodate....and now I have 10 different watches. Just bought the Certina ds-1 big date special edition. Just can’t stop buying and collecting.

Exactly the video i was looking for. Thank you so much Teddy. Love your channel!!

Could be your best video ever. Great personas and different methods to handle each. I lucked into the Halios Seaforth 3 - heard the name and just happened to be at the time orders were open and got one of the last Orange ones. And agree - Tissot is so underrated.

For the Duo Persona (which I kind of am myself), I would go for Longines Conquest Automatic and Tissot Seastar Powermatic. I already have the Tissot, I hope to get the Longines soon :)

Awesome video, Teddy (per usual)!

Something about that blue, Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 🔥 🔥 🔥

I love your opinion about the difference between the Sinn 104 & 556. I am in that position right now and that helped.

Hey Teddy, you are the first reviewer I’ve seen to mention the Seiko SRPB39 “Zen Garden”. This is one of my favorite watches - another being the SRPB41 which is a stunning midnight blue version. The dials are very impressively done, as are the high polished indices with a frost-like texture on top. The handsets are elegant with polished hour and minute hands and a blue second hand (on the white dial 39) and the 3 bright white hands on the blue one (41). Plus domed sapphire crystals, butterfly clasps, gilt rotors, and beautifully high-polished cases make these 2 watches favorites of mine. The use of the 4R movement is a little bit of a let-down perhaps, but is consistent with the new and more expensive Alpinist models.

Great video. Thanks for the information. Keep going wit this series

Great stuff, keep it going!

A great selection of eclectic and different watches. Lots to think about. I am a big fan of chronograph and dive watches, and I enjoyed your choices. The Longones Conquest Heritage is a very pretty watch, but a bit to small for my wrist. I did not know about it's style of crystal. MAny interesting chioces and reviews. I will sign up for your newsletter. I find you very knowledgeable about watches I have never heard of. Bravo!

Teddy, congratulations on your new webpage... I wish you all the luck in the world on that. great video as always, sir...keep on the great work

Great video, one of the Christopher Ward GMTs would be great as a one watch. COSC movement, 3 time zones, and many are ISO cert.

Sinn 104 just blew my mind. Absolutely gorgeous. This is why I subscribe

Good job Teddy! Checked this vid for ideas for my son and some great choices. Got my sub and bests for the new ventures.

I'm digging the updated online store. I was wondering why the store had so few straps when I checked a few weeks ago, but I definitely wasn't expecting this. Big moves my man 💪. I might have to pick up a Junghans when I have a bit more money.

Fantastic video and great suggestions!

Feels good to see the 104 as the one watch collection as that's why I'm going to buy it for as well. I will have other watches but my Sinn 104 will be my everyday, "gada" watch.

Thanks! Great video and lots of great choices! Always good to see Christopher Ward get some attention - I'm a fan.The Trident is a great watch. Also - (partially because of your moonphase video, so you share some blame here!) - I'm awaiting delivery of a blue C. Ward moonphase as I type this. Thanks again!

That stowa watch is gorgeous!

I love these videos! This is the reason I am on the lookout for a white Sinn 104. I’m looking for just a 2/3 watch collection and currently my budget is 2k so the white 104 is perfect for me. Would you opt for the fine link bracelet or just the leather band?

Congratulations on the website!

Hi Teddy. I am new watch enthusiast. I really appreciate you not taking any sponsors. Maybe you have done this already but I am interested in everyday watches or perhaps you would call the beaters. Something that looks nice but if it gets scratched, there is no need to fret.

Excellent vid.Awesome watches,plenty of choices. For $2000 I would buy 6 to 8 fantastic Seiko’s. With most of them being Quartz. That’s more for your money. And this is how I ended up with about 60 watches for around $5000. I consider 80% of my watches disposable other than replacing a battery. I have a heck of a lot of fun searching for these watches and getting the best possible price. I often find watches for under $200 that most people pay $300 or more.
