In an old video he deleted or made private, Seiko5 part 2 or something, he had a sporadic scene where he played "Reddy Bulbasaur" pitching his watch straps. It was the funniest piece of watch content on youtube, but it's gone now.

Mr. Baldassare - This is off topic, but your knowledge and videos have always been fantastic, one of my favorite KZread channels…. Would you ever consider doing a video regarding how to negotiate (with proper etiquette) a watch purchase at an AD? Do AD’s negotiate watch prices? Is it appropriate, and if so how to go about it? Thank you.

As a Pakistani, really impressed by your knowledge of the particular reputation Rado holds in the subcontinent - shows your attention to detail

You are the reason I fell in love with the Max Bill in first place and everytime I see the shots you made of that beautiful masterpiece, I fall in love with it again and again. Thank you for that, Teddy.

@@pawelkrzywicki I have a Form C chronoscope that I am grateful to Junghans for producing. An affordable quartz that I think is absolutely one of the best looking watches I have ever owned.

Rado Diastar in gold was always the symbol of achievement in Cambodia - often with local ruby customised bezels and dials.

I am still not sold on Seikos over $1,000 even with the 6R35 movement.

Very informative presentation. I appreciate the histories you provided. Thank you.

Loved the Doxa segment. I would really love a history lesson into some of the oldest watch brands that are still prominent today. Horology is a fascinating and underrated subject.

I really like Doxa, the look and feel of watches along with their storied history. I have the Sub 300 Carbon Aquamarine and it gets more questions and compliments than my GMT Master II.

Was wondering how Hamilton Intramatic didn’t make the list and then I checked the retail price and was holy smokes 😮 The inflation and price increases really are pushing it. Guess it will be on the next list between 2000-3000$ price range.

Thank you for the video Teddy. Really appreciate it.

Excellent education, as always. Thank you!

Another great video! Thanks

Great series. Keep em coming

Amazing videos Teddy, Its practically amazing, keep the good work up.

these are all so beautiful! thank you

I bought a 143 a couple of months ago. Can't get enough of it, such a great piece!!!

I really like how you explain things ❤

Impressive! A historical perspective is everything in an Iconic watch. I agree with your presentation of the Junghans brand, it drew me into watch collecting too. As always your knowledge is second to none. Thank You.

Absolutely a must that you continue to the next price point! I may know my range of what I’m willing to spend but it’s nice to see what may be just out of range but worth the stretch to obtain. As always, love your videos as they feed the kid like obsession to watches we all tend to have.

The Mido is gorgeous....might pick one of those up this summer

That new Mido is absolutely gorgeous! I have the old ocean star 200 Captain and this new one is just perfect! Mine is too big at 42.5 and I don't mind losing the day complication for a smaller case with an amazing textured dial! Right on the money! Great job Mido!

Teddy You should organize a trip to Glashtte, with tours of several important factories - the watch Community would love that. It could be an annual adventure- I know I'd sign up.

👏🏾 Thanks so much for the history lesson (I love it)! I was drawn to the Diastar (and other Rado models) back in the 90s. I was fascinated with their highly scratch resistant hardened steel technique, which has led me to own tungsten and ceramic watches today. I'm also a fan of Nomos (classic simplicity) and Zodiac (aviation inspired Dragon Wing chrono).

Great vid as always can you do a review on the Luminox Master Carbon Seal Automatic

Thanks Teddy!

Im feeling the rado diastar looks funky but in a cool way

Great choices!

Great stuff. $2000 is probably the top end of what I will eventually spend on my first automatic. So this video will help me on my search. Thanks!

Continue on to the next price point. Very interesting.

Excellent

I love my Max Bill, which the first watch over $1,000 that I purchased. I don't know if it qualifies as "iconic," but the Tudor 1926 is a watch at the top of this range that is tremendous value for money. You've discussed it many times on your channel. For the price, it's very hard to beat in terms of its aesthetics, brand connection, or mechanics.

Look at that! Mido is pulling an "hommage" to the Islander Northport! 😀

Very cool SeaLab pic! I see a few NAVY Submariners!

i love you so much! I recently just found your mamacoo and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life

will you be doing a video on the new mido ocean star 39, looks beautiful in pictures but would like to hear your opinion on it when holding it in person before i make my decision on buying it lol

Bought my SBDC101 jdm sbp143 from Japan. Sure they have their seiko quirks but it wears perfectly and just never gets old. You can wear for everything other than formal.

you are the best teddy.💯👍

I another great video. But I would love Teddy doing a review on the Hanhart pioneer mk2. A forgotten treasure.

Bauhaus and Fliegers are right up my alley. The lugs on the Tangente look so much better on wrist.

I guess the MIDO comander should've been included. Maybe in part II

So glad to see Mido Ocean Star cutting down their size to meet the mid-size range! That's what I've been hoping for for so long.

As a Pakistani, I desperately want my people to start exploring other brands. I don't understand why my family is so obsessed with Diastars 🤣🤣

Doxa all the way. The case and bracelet finishing is unparalleled at the price range and also the movement is very dependable. It also has great history and is always a unique conversation starter.

Wtf, thanks Teddy that you mention the Diastar. Such a sleeper. My favorite watch in my collection. I own the skeletonized one and love it.❤

I love Max Bill art and his legacy in art. It’s so surprising that in the art he’s known for his colourful geometric composition. However for the watches he went b&w to bring attention to the fonts…

I would consider for this list the Glycine Airman (the bronze one is >$1k) and Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic.

Rado was my first love in watches..

Seiko spb 143 this monster on the straps and especially the integrated rubber one, is my only watch that I have worn for 2 years. It is such a great looking watch that when I am interested in watches and I see something else that I could buy, the question always arises "but why?" and I would not wear it anyway.

Teddy we need a review of the new Seiko SPB 🙏🏼

What strap are you using on your Max Bill Chronograph?

Keep these up, with higher price points.

Thinking the Longines Conquest something mm quartz should be here! Otherwise a killer video

I have a black Rado Diastar r5.5 square chronograph blue dial with ceramic case and titanium bracelet. It is an awesome watch. However, that model of Diastar is a little above this videos budget. I got it for 50 percent off at a jeweler in New Orleans that was no longer going to be an AD for Rado. The deal was too good to pass up and I got it for $1600! That price puts it in this category but I'm sure this video is based on MSRP.

Longines Skin Diver would be great in this list!

The SPB153 is great, completely different from cheaper Seikos, and the 143 will be my next watch.

Tissot gentleman and Tudor 1926 could have been added

I've been looking into this watch the last few weeks, and I'm sooo torn about it. On one hand, it is super pretty in its simple, no-nonsense design, and said to be very durable by almost every reviewer, but on the other hand every comment section of videos about Sinn 556 is peppered with comments from people who had some unacceptable QC issues and had to send their watches straight to Sinn. It's a tough call.

I’m sure you have tons of fans that would love to talk watches with you. Basically watch collecting is a satisfying but lonely hobby. Of my many friends, none can notice the difference between a citizen quartz and an AP.

Can't help but notice that your SPB143 has a leaner and pontier hour hand. Is this a limited edition or customized model? :)

Think about it: The 62MAS cost 36 usd in 1965, which in todays money equates to 367 USD. And the SPB143 costs more than three times as much!

I've noticed that most iconic watches dont have numbers on their dial?

Teddy just wanted to ask your opinion on a point of mine.Do you agree with Seiko stamping their watches with the Prospex and Pressage logo?I personally hate it and it is so frustrating because those watches look great.What is wrong with having only the Seiko name on them.I can understand it for the Seiko King and Grand Seiko but not for those.Find it horrible seeing that logo on those lovely looking watches.

I'm currently waiting for the arrival of a Junghans Max Bill 38 sapphire roman numerals no date watch. My 41st anniversary gift to myself. I'm concerned if I made the right decision for the no date since Junghans use a ghost date movement. I have plenty of day date watches and wanted a clean Bauhaus design at 3 o'clock. Will arrive within 4 days from the time I'm literally writing this. An absolute grail for me.

Oof, I did not know what A. Lange stood for lol
