1 Million subs......wow.....I may of not been here from the beginning but I've been here enough to say thank you for all you do for the community. After 3 years of watching (lol) watch videos. I finally picked up my first omega. Not a speedmaster but a white dial seamaster and I'm in love. Glad to be here for the million and I hope to be here for the 2 million. Much Love - TWT

I like what you said about taking a step back to cherish what you currently have instead of chasing what’s new or what’s next is 100% true. Your video always brings so much value in your video not just about watch. Congrats on the 1M subs. Hopefully of these days I’ll get to visit store.

Teddy rocking metal on the way back home seems just too funny😂

90s hip hop instrumentals are one of the best parts of being alive today. As a writer, it’s every day I’m listening to Dilla beats on vinyl. Respect, Teddy!

Finally! 1 million subs! Glad to have joined your community while it was under it! So proud to see your grow so much.

Congrats Teddy on the 1M! Your content bridges the entry level and the high end. More power to you! Great video as always

Brand new to this part of our wonderful world, and was moved by your appeal to gratitude and a gentle reminder that these little marvels are not our identity. I want to enter into watch ownership for enjoyment and as a marker of moments in this life for which I am thankful. And goodness are there some options to marvel at!

Congrats on 1M Teddy! You are the one of few that really pushed me into this beautiful world of watches! Keep up with awesome work!

already loved your channel Teddy, hearing you are a metal guy put you at the top of my list!

The Grand Seiko 9F quartz is an even better value proposition than the spring drive. It's a completely in-house movement, and GS even grows their own quartz crystals and makes their own conductors. The computer chip scans the air over 500 times a day to adjust for any temperature changes. GS says it's accurate to 10 seconds a year, but everyone swears it's not even off by a single second which is insane to think about. I'm seriously going for this over a spring drive. With a reasonable discount, you can easily get one for below $2,000, and they come with the same dials and craftmanship as any other GS. Seriously a no-brainer. (and congrats on 1 million Teddy!)

Agreed, have an SBGV245 and the only reason it’s not accurate to the second is when I have to adjust it for DST twice a year. Scary accurate.

Great video. Something I would bring up with trying on watches “out of your price range” is that you never know when your fortunes may change. Having tried on watches of various styles/prices can be helpful when you are finally able to pull the trigger.

Teddyyy! Congrats on hitting 1 million subs, man! Been watching your channel for over 6 years. So happy for you and the team! 🥳

A fellow watch enthusiast + metal/metalcore fan! Congratulations on 1 million subs - some of the highest quality content on KZread!

YOU ARE RIGHT......Does not matter the "color" it is the basic design !!!!! Marvelous looking watch !!! Really like it!

Yes! An updated ladies watch video would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for the great videos!

Congratulations for the 1 million subscribers ! Your channel is a reference for watch enthusiasts, and the one I recommend to my friends if they need a professional opinion about a particular watch !

Congratulations Teddy. Thank you for all the great videos over the years. My favorite moment was when you played Reddy Bulbasaur.

Congratulations Teddy on hitting 1 MILLION subscriptions!! What an amazing milestone! Well deserved! Keep up the great content!

Congratulations Teddy! A true milestone. 1 million people is a country!

Hey Teddy, We visited Westlake from Toledo this past Saturday. The store is TOP NOTCH! Will was very knowledgeable and polite. It helped me identify what my holy grail watch is (and rule out another). I'll be returning soon.

Teddy is the realest one in the watch game. Should have hit a million years ago! Congrats, Teddy.

hit what million years ago ?

11:50 I love that touch of the clocks showing the times for Cleveland and the Glashutte

Best part of having a watch collection, I am finding now, is taking moments of extended time when you just enjoy what you have -each one individually, without chasing anything new. Yeah, those "moment" won't last forever, and you'll eventually want something new - taste change, models or fashions change, but those moments make watches worth having.

I echo the comments on being surprised by metal/metalcore! Glad to hear I’m not the only noble savage into watches and blast beats!

Your answers were very thoughtful, thanks for putting in the effort to making this Q&A.

Teddy’s the best, man. This channel is my fav pastime.

When ordering my Tudor BB i called my local AD, they didn't have the one i wanted but let me come in and try some on. Since they knew i was interested, and called a head the experience was awesome. Ordered the black bay i wanted and didnt feel rushed or intimidated. Good question though cause initially i was worried i wouldn't "fit in"

Your answer to Boutique Etiquette was phenomenal. Thank you.

I love the white dial. Surprised that it took this long for this to come out. Glad to hear your store is doing well. I grew up in Westlake! Cleveland rocks!

Congratulations Teddy for 1M subscribers!! Thank you for all education and inspiration to me and all of us!!

Teddy I wish you continued success with both the online and in-person store.

Congrats on 1 mil man! Knew youd make it big when I saw your vids for the first time years ago 👏🏼

Well done on the 1 million subscribers Teddy! You are genuinely the best watch KZreadr out there.

Thank you for all you do to show us cool and nice watches. Happy for all the success you are having.

Congratulations on the subscriptions. Amazing! The white Speedmaster is beautiful. Didn’t think I would deviate from the OG but I really like it. 😎

Just when you think Teddy can't get any better, he has a stellar and diverse taste in music too 😁

I tried on the white Speedmaster at an Omega boutique in London a couple weeks ago, and it looks really good. It wears just like every other Speedmaster, but the look is quite different and very cool.

I just love the folks here, the audience Teddy has gathered over the years is just as sophisticated as himself. You are truly a gem!

Love your musical interests and learning more about you as a person! I have been getting a lot into Cuban music with its fusion influences and jazz undertones.

I have some experience with going to expensive watch stores, they are usually very welcoming and just want you to have a good time, they will get every watch you want to try from the lockers, sit down with you and let you try em out and chat about them. I've even specified that I won't be able to buy any of them, but they just deflected it by saying the most important part of a buying decision is to try watches on your wrist, see them, feel them. Pictures on internet and youtube can only show a 2d representation, and pics can vary in colour density depending on who photoshopped them afterwards . I've never had a bad comment when I said I couldn't afford to buy this speedmaster I'm trying on. They even encouraged me to take wrist shots. The most important thing is to be respectful of the staff and showing interest, not just "no i'm just browsing" when they come to ask if you need help. Engage with them, and you get a GREAT experience. One clerk said I wasn't wasting his time at all, most customers want to come to a store and try different things, before making a decision maybe days or weeks later, it's fine. But of course, be reasonable and don't lock down an employee for 2 hours when you don't plan on buying anything at all. Also if the store has no customers at that time period they seem more than happy to just chat with you about watches and show you around the store. Makes the day less boring.

I just visited the Teddy store in Crocker Park today. I told the staff I had dreams and milestones for the future but I couldn't do anything today, but my younger son wanted to stop in and see some of the high end watches. The staff was super friendly and let me browse to our hearts desire. Excellent and super friendly staff!

I'm happy to see Teddy grow to what he is now. I got into mechanical movements because of Teddy's gateway video he posted a long time ago about Orient. I ended up picking the Orient Maestro. I fell in love with the mechanical watches and picked up a Hamilton soon after. I haven't bought another watch for another 4 years since I really loved the Hamilton but just recently got the JLC Polaris with green dial and love it more than the Hamilton. I'm probably not going to buy another watch for awhile but will be saving up for my end game watch which is a patek Philippe. Cheers Teddy!

Congratulations on one million Teddy, well deserved.

One millions achieved by doing something you love. Must feel amazing...congratulations!

Teddy congratulations on your new store. I’m a new watch collector and I watch all your videos to learn. I would love to be working in a watch store one day.

Would love a women’s watch video especially if you could recommend ones with smaller dials! Love your content.

1M! Congratulations! 1 million subs and a brick and mortar store. 2024 is looking good. Your hard work on your passion shows.

Big Congrats Teddy! 1500€ or under: The Twelve by Christopher Ward. Reliable movement and beautifully finished. The Best Quartz: Longines VHP: Best Accuracy at +-5 sec a year and comes in 3 digit price range, GMT models can even be set with Morse Code and are the most practical GMTs with easy switch between home and travel modes. VHP models also have the low power feature wherein you pull the crown and keep it to rest, when you push it back it goes to the current time. Also has a perpetual calendar until 2399 AD.

Thanks Teddy, great video as always. Espeacially appreciate your response to the "when is enough" question. Very validating and great life advice in general. Thanks! =)

Congrats on 1 Milli Teddy! The seiko spb143 is the best $1,200 I spent. I recently picked up the higher end version sje093 which is on its own level but it doesn’t replace the spb143. It’s worth every penny and I’m getting +/- 2 sec on both watches.

Congrats on the 1 Million marker! Love your videos!

I did not have you pegged as a metal fan Teddy but I admire you even more now!!!! 😂

Congratulations on reaching a million subscribers it's well deserved!

Great video as always and a Huge congratulations on the 1M subs!

Such a genuine guy, thanks Teddy

nkuwan You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much

I own several Rolex, Omega, IWC, Sieko, G-Shock watches, etc. I can honestly say, I pick up my Speedy more often than most. I wear it with the bracelet, or various nato bands. I just love the iconic look. I will be purchasing the white face immediately. Thank you for sharing and congrats on 1MM subscribers!

Teddy Baldassare listening to Metalcore is a wild ride for my imagination 😂 cheers from Biel, the hometown of Omega

Teddy and team, Congratulations on hitting the 1M subscriber's milestone!!! Purchasing my fifteenth watch from your team in two weeks. They make excellent gifts for family members. Best wishes to Jon and Will for their superb customer service.

We all appreciate you Dr. Bob. Passed along your words of encouragement to Wil and Jon just now.

I recently got a nice chunk of unexpected money and one of my first thoughts was im going to buy myself another watch but not just another casio i want a 500 - 700 dollar watch which is a lot of money for me. After calculating all the other good things i need to do with this money and bills etc... i decided i cannot treat myself in this way which made me sad for a day or so but then it got me thinking about my collection now and how much i really do love and appreciate it. As affordable as my collection is im ok with that. For now at least :) one day i hope to get the dream watch its just not the right time yet.

Jeff Beck and King Crimson. Wow. Never expected that. Great taste Teddy in Music sir.

The bit on collecting was great!

This migh have been your best video so far.

Imho: king for high end quartz: Bulova, the sweeping second hand precisionist models. It’s the only quartz models I wear other than automatic. Those sweeping second hand models are mesmerizing to see in person.

Teddy, you legend. Congrats on 1 mil.

White speedy looks like the pics in person. It's very nice. But I've always been a fan of light dials with black applied markers. Enough so I preferred the white dial 5711.

You would never know Teddy likes Hard Rock and Metal by looking at him. This is yet another classic example of not judging a book by its cover. He is just as passionate about music as he is passionate about watches.

Got lucky enough to try on the new white dial speedy as my local boutique had one in for exhibition. The pictures don't do it justice at all, the white really pops (compared to my EXP II I was wearing at the time) and the movement looks amazing in the display caseback, definitely one to add to my collection when the hype dies down and they're readily available.

Really learn a lot from your videos, any advice on to where to know about new watch releases?

Great video as usual, Teddy. Very entertaining.

Metal/metalcore/jazz/pop-punk, this guy is just like me fr

A question for perhaps a future video: When choosing a wristwatch, one of the big difficulties is choosing a dial colour that goes well with my skin colour and undertone. If you could do a video discussing this topic, for various skin types, it would make watch buying easier.

I got the bulova lunar pilot because I can’t afford a speedmaster just yet….glad to see it mentioned. It’s weird how much attention that little bulova gets

Congratulations on your milestone of one million subscribers!

Bruno Söhnle out of Glasshutte makes high-end quartz watches too, very nicely decorated movements

My guy Teddy got that Pete Rock in the mix 💪🏾! I agree on the AD visit etiquette, I’ve dealt with some A-Holes and I’ve dealt with them really cool individuals. Although I don’t ask to look at more than 2 watches if I KNOW I’m not buying anytime soon. Can’t wait to get the Teddy store though 💪🏾.

I have some Bulova watches that have the high frequency movement in it. Yes they are amazing!

In the $1,000-$2,000 price range you cannot go wrong with the Maen Hudson 38 or the Maen Skymaster 38. I got the Hudson last year and it rarely leaves my wrist.

Thanks for these cool q&a videos! Since you like the metalcore sphere, were you as shocked as I was when John P (Federico talks watches ex. Partner) posted an interview with the ex-bassist of issues? What a small world. Watches and music have collided twice in the last week. Pretty awesome!

My AD called, picking up my white speedy this weekend in Vegas 🥳

That caption is top-tier clickbait, but doesn't take anything away from the usual top-tier quality of Teddy's content.

I had a great experience at the store. Met The Man himself, and walked out with a new Seamaster 300m on my wrist!

Great taste, Pete Rock & J Dilla. You got more respect from me Teddy. This taste translate into your watch curation as well. Salute.

You haven't done this style of video in a while, but asking your wife's opinion on certain watches was a fun genre

Successfully pre-ordered this watch from Exquisite Timepieces! The wait begins!!!!!!

Wow, a fan of McCartney, Pete Rock & jazz….great taste. I tend to choose watches that compliments my personal soundtrack, which is mostly bebop. My Cartier Tank goes well with the sounds of Eric Dolphy, Joe Henderson & Andrew Hill.

I tried to stop by your store to check it out, but unfortunately it was closed for the day. The store looks great!

I got the speedmaster white dial one in Paris! This watch celebrates my 30th anniversary with my lovely wife and our 50th birthday!!! 🥳 it’s so special and I’m lucky to get a chance to buy this piece. 🤩🤩🤩

Ps, hearing you primarily listen to metal / metalcore got me so excited haha. The new Boundaries album is out today, Death Is Little More, great hardcore / metalcore. Also Erra's new album Cure soon too. Would love to hear some of the regular metal bands you listen to!

Go Teddy Go !!! Congrats Again!!!

Congrats on 1Mio Subs your videos are the best 👏

Hi, Question- I like function in a watch. There are; pilot, sailing, race car, golfing, diving etcetera, but there are no COOKING themed watches. Can you recommend a watch that would lend itself to Cooking. In particular a watch that will have a Simultaneous Timer & Countdown/ Alarm functionality?? Regards, Jeff

Superb watch the Speedy in white dial, is fairly unjust that so beautiful things are well above my budget! 😭😭 I had the original black version but was so stressed about what did with my left hand that finally sold it (after 200€ polish on a boutique) to recover the freedom of this left extremity on a normal day activities. Now have an apple watch second hand, happily smashing it when hiking, kayaking etc But miss the Speedmaster, the most historically relevant watches for all that love space exploration 😢
