Started my collection recently, this is what I’ve got: Hamilton Khaki 38 mm , Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 blue, Seiko Alpinist SPB119 white dial, Longines Hydro Green 41mm on Bracelet . So a different dial color was my target as well

All great solid choices - and quality - all you need now is a beater and you’ve covered all the bases - I suggest that one of the new metal ‘Casioak’ G Shocks in a nice colour would compliment your collection well

Thank you for always providing such well written, beautifully edited & thoughtful content for this community. Teddy, you're the 🐐

Well done Teddy , when the obsession started in the watch game even though I had the funds I didn’t think I’d ever be spending over a grand on a timepiece and now I looking at pieces in the 3-5 grand range. It’s definitely an evolving journey that draws you in with the statement your making on your wrist. Accuracy and telling time can be yours on a budget but their isn’t quite anything like wearing a mechanical beauty on your wrist that does so much more then tell the time it’s what you know about it that makes it feel so damn good. Doesn’t even matter if it’s discussed even though that is noticed by watch addicts just like yourself. Well done & solid Lineup especially the models Longines has been releasing lately, Longines/ Wittnauer was the 1st watch ever given to me by Canadian Hockey Jr hockey league for player of the game, at the time they were the official sponsor for time of the goal as Rolex is for Wimbledon. Along with added meaning of the brand to me and some very cool re-issues of some previous models their definitely next on my list. Again Thank you Teddy for the solid work ! Always appreciate your take on the watch game.

Cannot say enough great things about my 40mm Longines Spirit. It’s very much in that spot you ID, Teddy, of both everyday and pilot. And the bracelet is slept on - it’s fantastic. Great video!

Teddy, please keep these style of videos of all prices ranges coming. I know they will need to be regularly updated as well. Simply fantastic. Thank you my friend.

Hi Teddy, thanks for another of your best picks per price analysis videos. I also appreciate that you've included info regarding your wardrobe items as seen in this video. Cheers, BT!

One of your best comparison presentations ever. Thank you, Teddy.

Great video again. And having a wrist size with the models are really helpful. Thanks.

I just bought the Rado Captain Cook in Bronze with the Brown Dial at a local retail store (sorry Teddy) for $2080. Absolute steal of a watch (no pun intended) for the $2000 range. 300m water resistance, 80hr power reserve, bronze case, and beautiful design, all from a Swiss watch brand.

I would also consider the Grand Seiko SBGX in the everyday category, and add some high precision quartz and zaratzu polishing to the list...

I just got the Longines Spirit in green at gray market for 1,700. Absolutely love it. It connects that military style with aviation perfectly. As you mentioned COSC certified. By far the best value at this price range.

I love this series of videos - thanks!

Great video, Teddy! Lots of great choices here. Love the Doxa and the Tudor 1926 is a sleeper.

Thank you Teddy for everything you do! I’ve learned so much about watches from your videos. I think my favorite complication is the pointer date from ORIS, a brand I’d never heard of before finding your channel.

Very helpful! Thank you!!

There are so many great watches in the $1,500-$3,000 range. I've been toying with the idea of jumping up to something like a Cartier, Omega, modern Breitling, etc., but there's just so many great watches for cheaper that are great too

Great video! Looking forward an updated version!

Great video Teddy! I am a big fan and really enjoy all your videos and highly value your opinion. If possible, I would also love to see a video on Tag Heuer watches....

Honestly the most versatile of all these watches is the Oris Aquis!!! It is the watch I recommend to my friends. I noticed when you were talking about the Aquis you had a smile on your face.

Thanks...I found this useful, entertaining and informative... the perfect trifecta. I own one of the watches you featured and am looking at the Longines Spirit or Hamilton RAF chronometer as my Christmas purchase. The Certina Chronograph ( I'm surprised you missed it) is another option, well within this price range. Thanks again.

Thank you for all your hard work. Much blessings and success to you and your channel and in life endeavors. I just gotten into watches and I will be purchasing watches from your website.

Great video as always. Love the Longines Sprit with the silver dial! One quibble: why no category for field watches? Other than that, outstanding. Best wishes.

Fun video. I was sold on a Nomos Orion or Tangente, until I saw the Longines Flagship Heritage with the brown strap and cream dial....and knew I had to buy it eventually! Just looks fantastic. I know they got a mention but would be my pick for the dress category!😎

The Flagship is a cool looking watch and pretty reasonable price.

I hear you, I love these videos!!! Really enjoying Nomos too, took a while to see their worth...... this is a great price range for some awesome watches!!!!

Excellent review

Teddy.. much appreciated. These are the watch within my budget 🙏🏻😀. Just bought Oris Aquis, because of these review, and plan to buy Longines dolce vita next month.

Love the thumbnails of each watch with the associated data alongside. Suggestion/request: please add to the thumbnail whether or not the watch has an exhibition case back. Otherwise, keep up the great work!

Great video. I really appreciate all your work to put this video up. Just curious why did you stay away from Tag Hauer?

Great video Teddy

omg the intro was so me "yup I could spend that amount of money" lol! Watches definitely changs your relationship with what is "expensive" and it has made me completely delusional lol

If I had to pick a single watch from this whole list, it would probably be the Longines spirit. It such a well balanced design, and it’s a watch you pretty much wear it on any occasion, absolutely love it. Could you also do review on the New Longines Zulu time. Thanks Teddy 😁

Great topic!

Teddy, you're the Mr. Rogers of watches. I enjoy your videos.

Teddy remember the Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic blue dial. You mentioned months ago you would be considering it. It’s just a fantastic watch in this price range and would help add bit more variation in your picks

Great Video !

Found a pre-owned Oris BCPD 403 for $1800 US, great shape, no scratches, feel really happy about that find.

Great mix there Teddy. I love my Rado Captain Cook but tell me, have they increased the crown diameter as it is a bugbear of mine but looks slightly bigger in your video.

Hey Teddy, thanks for putting out these great videos. I like your ones with Mr Wonder too. Keep up the great work, I always look forward to watching them and I'm always learning something new 👍 ❤❤❤⌚️ ⌚️ ⌚️

Wow another great video I was going to get the Hamilton chrono but I think I will prefer the Tissot prx vibe.

Hi Teddy, big fan. I would love to see a video similar to this one, but where you focus on pre-owned offerings instead that in many cases may present better value. I know that for me, ever since I started collecting more seriously in 2018, the pre owned space is where I spend the majority of my time and I think that would be very interesting to see for your viewers. Obviously the market can be volatile and subject to change, but that would be a video I would love to see with your opinions

My personal favorite of them all is the Longines heritage sector in black with that beautiful bracelet. Beautiful!

Thank you teddy! Been looking for a cheaper watch recently and your video just came in the perfect timing!

was a reckless kid, been gifted many watches but didn't respect them at all. And now, as you said, i have fallen in to the watch rabbit hole, and understand the value they bring i feel so stupid i was back then. Love these watches!!

Longines Hydroconquest should have been mentioned at $1700 in diver category. it's really a great watch.

The part where you say “I can spend that amount of money” is when you know you’re in the watch rabbit hole forever. Welcome, my friends.

Would love to see an $8k version of this :)

some great choices. Tissot chronograph or longines big eye. Will need to try both on.

I would have liked to see one of the original German flieger brands be included in the pilot watch category. I know iwc and Lange is out of the price category but Stowa and Laco provides amazing value at the sub 2k range. They have the flieger heritage, iconic triangle mark at 12 o’clock position, and heated blue hands all fitting in a very slim watch case. I personally think they can’t be overlooked in this category

I own the Laco Cuxhaven, and it is just awesome!

All great choices, BUT i think that new 37mm Spirit by Longines just might be the sweetest piece on this list.. or any in its class. They are killing it as a brand lately.

Waiting for the Laco Frankfurt GMT to get some love. It is a gorgeous watch.

Some good ideas for when bonus season rolls around

Interesting choices. Keep up the good work on your channel. Regards, WR4K.

Teddy amazing vidéo ! For the dive watch you should Check out selica french brand !

Hey Teddy, do you have any plans a similar video but for smaller wrists? Watches sub 40mm and smaller would be perfect as it is almost rare to find watches around the 34mm to 39mm range.

Excellent video

Thanks Teddy! What bracelet did you put on your Longines Heritage Sector?

That Fortis POPS!!!

Good content, actually I hoped that you could include ( longines master collection ) with the leather band in classic collection.

I really dig the longines spirit. Finally had tje chance to try it on but alas, it wasnt the right fit for me. Beautiful piece, but just didnt sit right on my wrist. Now I am eyeing the oris diver 65

Great video. You sold me on a Nomos Orion.

Mine starting from Tag Heuer Professional 200m Quartz, Longines Golden Wing Quartz, Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80, Squale 20 Atmos Militaire. My next goal will be (my holy grail as well) Tudor Black Bay 58 Black in bracelet. Wish me luck! Much love from Indonesia ❤️

like the fact that you recognise Oris.. Love that Brand.. Great Value for Money

I just got the Nomos Tangente midnight blue. It is amazing!

Hi Teddy, would you do a video on limited edition watches? From budget to luxury

I like the date pointer of the Oris! Very consequently on an analog watch. Sapphire glass at the back, too?

Teddy - I enjoyed watch-spotting through the new top gun film … plenty of fleigers … would make a fun video 👍

Teddy, your views on Favre Leuba watches? FL sea king watch, quite unique shape and design

Glad to see some love for the Tudor 1926, and so many great

The Hamilton Aviator chrono is great, but missing, (and worth a mention as well), is the Hamilton Khaki Field Chrono! the best tool chrono for the money.

Great video! How about Glycine Airman Automatic Worldtimers? I have one and I love it.

Started collecting about a year ago. My "core" collection has two $150 ish g-shocks, a $260 citizen promaster and a $180 orient bambino. I'm graduating grad school in May, plan on making my first purchase over $500. Looking at the Tissot Seastar as I love divers

For me $500--$1000 is the wow this is getting high range....but point well taken, realizing the rabbit hole gets treacherous at 1k to 2k and gets serious. Good video.

Wow that Presage GMT watch is very nice!

great video , 1 question : is tag heur a good brand

Teddy been wearing that Longine for looooooooooong time now. He simply couldn't bring himself to take that off!

Hi Teddy, would love to hear your opinion about some brands that you don't cover much like Panerai, Breitling, and perhaps Bamford London. Love your videos, keep up the amazing work :)

Do you have the aftermarket bracelet for the Longines Heritage Sector in your shop? Thx!

Teddy, have you ever checked the Casio Oceanus OCW-S4000D?

@teddy what is the strap on that oxred Oris Big pointer date please ? I've got that watch and it's on that awful deer leather straps that I am looking to change at the earliest

I picked up a Oris Aquis whale shark , love the dial

Would love to see women's watches as well with the same price range and categories!

Those opening 30 seconds of monolog hit me. True so true.

Really? Lucky you 🙏

Looking to buy my first “sort of expensive “ 2k dollar watch and have my eyes on the oris aquis found one for 1600 unworn but “consider “ used should I pull the trigger ?

Nice list, but you forgot about the Longines Master Collection Chronograph when you said it was difficult to get a slim Swiss-made Chrono. I have one that I bought recently (€2,500, so a tad above your limit) and it is only 11.6mm with a Longines calibre L889 movement,

Most of these picks would have been close to what I would do as well. Good picks !

Every time you show us the Mido GMT you make me want one so much more. The Atlas would totally be on my list, if it were sized up a bit, 38.5mm looks like a women’s watch on many men. And finally, cheers for giving Fortis some love, an interesting brand for sure.

What about the Longines Flagship Heritage in the dress watch category? I find it to be a very nice watch to wear with formal attire, business attire and bussines casual attire

Teddy, love this type vlog....so to me Everyday: all boring, Pilot: the Fortis rocks, GMT: Mido wins, Dress: Nomos zero edge bezel wins, Dive: Oris all the way...Chrono: Hamilton wins......as a matter of fact, Hamilton makes a winner in many of these categories! (Is it that cold in Cleveland in June you need a sweater....show those biceps!)

What is the sub-dial on the Seiko Sharp Edge GMT for? Is it used for timezones that are off by an additional 0-30 minutes? Or is it something else entirely?

Hey Teddy I am between the Aquis and the Ball Marvelight (steel bracelet and blue dial). Any recommendations? On paper, the Ball sounds better with the longer power reserve.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 learning a ton… next Teddy vid

I really though you would show the hydroconquest in the diver section. Frankly speaking I'm missing the Maurice Lacroix Aikon and Venturer line here, guess you'll have a great bang for you bucks especially when you have a look on the gmt version of the venturer or even the chronos. But have to admit the Tissot prx looks awesome but bit to small for my 7.7inch wrist

I like my Oris 65 heritage diver. Clean it's got heritage and it's delisted now. 40mm. If I had to pick from your list Aquis 41.5 followed by Nomos!

Wow, a Clive Cussler reference! The Doxa is a little to out there but I could see Al Giordino (hairy Italian arms) wearing one. Dirk today would still be a Submariner guy but I would like to think Omega Planet Ocean as I'm sure he is one of the few who could use a saturation valve. I would like to see what Cussler's watch collection was.

Spot on with the Doxa. Love them. I cannot stomach Nomos. Minimalist watch, maximum blah.

All very fair picks, especially the chronos, I just don't see how the Hamiltons can be beat. I have such hi regard for Hamilton brand & I say this as a Rolex collector.
