But truth is in order to afford luxuries such as cars or wristwatches like this, you’ll have to be involved with a multi dynamic platform capable of growing your money interests. People mostly downplay the role of a good portfolio manager until they’re burnt by their mistakes.

That's a risky attitude, My friend. You might be missing out on some valuable opportunities and strategies that a portfolio analyst can offer.

Longines Conquest and Tudor BB54 are my absolute favorites! Insane everyday watches!

Your watch content is the best on KZread… not robotically giving us features or talking about prices at resale… and most importantly a genuine feeling of excitement for watches. Thank you

Just the work you put into this videos is astounding! It’s so organized and one of the only KZreadrs that I know for a fact will have a structure time line in their videos Thanks

I'm a newbie trying to research my first & I now have a comprehensive range to try. Thank you! I've found that I can love a design in concept, then see it in natural light and reality and it's completely different. Echoing others here about how well you present your passion, ideas and aesthetics. The last part can't be underscored enough. The lighting and macro shots are on point. Personally, I loved discovering the dials of Straum, stunning.

God bless you Teddy! Wish more KZreadrs were as captivating as you and your team are. No drama, just watches!

As always, a really great video with so much information at the same time, showing your own take and opinions. Nice job Teddy!

My favourite video every year from Teddy! Thanks for a great 2023, and looking forward to another great year with you, Teddy! Cheers for all the wonderful content!

Awesome video Teddy you are the best. Please do it every year . Great info

Thanks for all your hard work this year young Sir .

Love these videos Another great year -thanks Teddy

Teddy, great wrap up for 2023. I too like the PF Tonda GMT, but suspect you didn't remember the JLC Q1628420 which had the same elegant approach without the use of two extra buttons.

2023 was the year I got into collecting watches, appreciate the content (covering all ranges & grounded asvice)

The Tudor Black Bay Burgundy METAS is an obvious one but for me it was rhe best purchase i made all year, just the perfect natural evolution of the Black Bay 41 slimming the case down and adding that Jubilee bracelet. It's arguably the safest/ most boring pick but they just nailed it with that one.

I love the video quality and presentation. Also very informative as I really have been falling in love with watches lately.

I tried on the Longines Spirit Zulu time with the gold bezel and crown last week. I was b blown away! I love it so much!

We’re here for the watches but Teddy, your storytelling is what keeps me coming back. Phenomenal video and cheers to a great 2023!

The BB36 in the blue dial is unreal in person. Teddy hit the nail on the head on that one. Complete "do anything" watch. Wear it with t-shirt and jeans or a suit and it will never be out of place. Definitely on my list!

A superb review. Thank you, Teddy. This was the year I got into collecting mechanical watches and I was pleased to see one of them featured in your review. Keep up the good work in 2024.

Definitely Longines!!! I used to think Longines designs are kind of just ok and not as elegant as I feel it would be but boy did my opinion change drastically!!! If u want good design with good craftsmanship that mimics the likes of Patek or JLC, without dropping a shit load of money and a brand with so much rich history! Longines will be the one of u!!!! I want them all now! I’m officially a Longines fan this year! Thanks Teddy your video about Longines this year has successfully converted me 😂

@bdegrds

Longines is absolutely in no way anywhere near or comparable to Patek or JLC. Be happy with what you can afford, don't try to convince yourself it's something it's not.

That Parmigiani Fleurier is one of the most exquisitely beautiful and tasteful things (not just watches) that I have ever seen. It is just absolute class to me. Outstanding!

-longines perpetual calendar $3,550 (Grail) -Seiko dresskx $220 -G-shock GM2100-1A $200 -Orient kamasu green $305 -Tissot powermatic blue dial $725 My dream collection! It adds up too $5,000 exactly! Wish me luck! 😁👌

It was because of Teddy that i fell in love with Longines as a brand. Just got the Longines Spirit Zulu time gmt 39mm Green dial in Singapore. Beautiful timepiece, just love it!!! Thank you, Teddy!!

Great video with some crazies. Congrats on your wedding.Beautiful couple.

How you felt about the Hank Aaron is how I felt about the Roberto Clemente. If I was braves fan I’d get the Aaron too. I love every aspect of the Roberto, even to the back out of /3000 (for his 3000 hits) to the 21 being black and gold. It’s just impeccable.

Teddy and Team, Thank you for a terrific year of watch education. Stopped by my Omega AD and tried on the various 75th Anniversary watches. Very impressed with the Seamaster 300 (Heritage) and the Planet Ocean models. I purchased eight watches from your team members (Jon & Will) and they are superb professionals. Keep up the great work in 2024 and wishing you and the team a Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

For me, it was the first expensive watch I bought. The Oris Aquis New York Harbour. I had no intention of buying a watch at that time, but when I saw it, I knew I had to have it and pulled the trigger the next day! Still after wearing it a lot in rotation with other pieces, its still my favorite! It is now accompanied with the Oris Wings of Hope!

Took deliver of the black dial ingenieur. As you say, it fits like a tailored suit. Sits on the wrist impeccably. When you turn your wrist you see the full dial not a gap between chassis and wrist. Its perfect for me. I have to say the same for the Navitimer B01 46 (on milanese style bracelt). It wears so much smaller (7.5 inch wrist).

Great video! If I could add one watch to the list it would be the Citizen Tsuyosa. Bought the Tiffany dial version after I saw your review earlier this year. By far my cheapest watch in my collection, but ultimately the one I love most at the moment! It's just such amazing value for money and the dials are just stunning!

Longines zulu time 39mm is my favourite ❤

Great choices in all different price ranges and designs!

So excited to see what 2024 brings for you and the team, Teddy! Hope you all have a great holiday!

Here's a quote from The West Wing: 'Unique means “one of a kind.” Something can’t be very unique' - and I'd like to add: 'Neither can it be most unique'

29:52 Actually for me, it wasn't a watch that released this year (to my knowledge) But it was the newer Seiko Arnie (SNJ025). I was told that I'd like it on my wrist, so I eventually got around to wearing it at my local shop. Turns out like my G-Shock GRPB-1000, I love it! And now I'm hopefully going to be able to get it in 2024

Awesome content Teddy. I can’t help but be tremendously impressed with PF. The GMT Rattrapante is probably the most unique and well made watch I’ve seen. So simple, yet so innovative. I know this is a high horology brand, but even if their prices were 10% to 20% lower, it would find itself on several watch collector’s list

Nobody else ever mentions them, but I love their pieces and think they like Zenith need more coverage.

Couldn’t agree more about Longines! The Spirit Zulu 39 is sweet, but if I could just pick one, it’d be the HydroConquest GMT.

Another great show. I’m finding your voice to be very soothing and familiar. Whenever I play your videos my dog comes and lays next to me.

Excellent video, will look at the Tissot Chronometer salmon dial. Thanks Teddy

all those BLUE Omegas were perfection...and my favorites. LOVED the appearance in AMW's latest video @5:27 mark. Wow! Who knew?....

Great vid, thank you Teddy! Lots of very interesting pieces you've shown here, but if I need to single one out, it would be the Certina DS diver. I'm not a diver watch fan, but this I would purchase and wear gladly. From the ones not mentioned, the one that impressed me the most when I tried it on, was the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades (38mm). I tried it on and decided that it was going to be my retirement watch. Now I'm working for it 😊

Vulcain Cricket caught my eye, it has an antique feel to it. Grand Seiko SLGH005 is a beautiful watch. Also liked the Certina Titanium. The Watch from Vacheron Constantin was also very beautiful. The Oris Hank Aaron Limited Edition is superb. Those were my top 5 from this collection...! I really like how you describe the watches...!

So proud of you teddy🍷keep up good work

I'm happy Longines was on this list so often especially the Longines Spirit Zulu Time GMT. Seems you missed Christopher Ward, they have smashed it out of the park with the Bel Canto, The Twelve and now the C1 Moonphase.

Thank you so much, TEDDY, for this wonderful overview of watches that we must know (or by) . My dream watch is in your selection . A little bit expensive . The JLC Reverso Chronograph is (for me) a master piece of elegance et technique .

Amazing as always

In my minds eye i see the Vulcaine Cricket which I find utterly gorgeous and just that bit slightly quirky being on the wrist of someone like actor Terry Thomas back in the 1960s. Also really liked the NOMOS AHOI. Looks partly dress watch but built strong like a dive watch.

I’m glad to see some respect being put on the certina great watch, great video!

Hey Teddy, would you recommend a good aftermarket watch band company? Was looking for a good everyday rubber band. thanks, your vids are great help in my slowly increasing watch collection.

Hello and thanks for this video Teddy. 2023 hasn't been a great year as 2021 has been with the Tissot PRX or 2022 with the Vacheron Constantin 222. But some watches deserve to be mentioned this year : the funny Metronome, the BB36 (and God knows how I usually don't like Tudor), the beautiful and so smart Tonda GMT and, of course, the amaizing Legacy Machine 101 (perhaps the best watch MB&F has ever made)!

Great video as always, Teddy! Love the channel. Curious if any BALL watches made it close to your best of 2023 list? I would love to see a review of the new Ball Engineer M Endurance. Thanks!

wow..what a nice presentation.. I am glad that Tissot heritage 1938 salmon dial is in your list. It has really become my every day watch. Light, comfortable, readable and with a PRECISE accuracy of less than 4"/day slow.

If only it came with a genuine leather strap. I refuse to pay 1k and get a synthetic strap.

My two favorite watches of the year are just new sizings for existing watches: Longines Zulu Time 39mm (blue) Tudor BB 39mm (champagne)

Great video!

I really liked the Seiko Japanese Garden (SARY203) didn't find a lot of people talk about it, but I really like the open heart disign. They also seem to have put in a lot of effort in the dial, someting you would see on the more higher end models.

Teddy, totally on the same page with you in regards to the baseball Oris releases. Baseball was my first love to. Almsot pulled the trigger on Hank, but waiting out hoping they might do a Cal Ripken Iron man tribute one day being from MD

Good year review. I hope Tissot gives some love to the Gentleman next year - 36mm? GMT? That chronometer movement in it? Surprised you didn’t put the CW 12 on the list. You could add a micro brand section to this video. Well done though. Next year how about a Certina DS2 review?

Teddy - would love to see you do an in depth review on the Grand Seiko SBGE271. Such an under appreciated piece from GS.

Favourite: Grand Seiko Limited SBGC249 - tried it on, slept on it over night, bought it the next day - last one in Australia. Love it - Stunning, functional, great size, thanks Nathan at GS Boutique Sydney.

Cheers Teddy , super cool video , sad a bit that none of Hamilton made it on the list... Anyway , for all , the Grand Seiko 1960 dress watch it is a jam , really. And Oris GMT big crown , beautiful . I wish you Merry Christmas and waiting for more interesting watches videos like everyone here !

Thanks Teddy!

All great choices but I'm surprised no mention of Breitlings new Avenger. My next watch I was going to buy was the Blancpain 50 Fathoms, well went to a watch show and saw a Girard Perregaux Laureato in green, I love green watches have 4 to date. Saw the Laureato and I was wowed. So I bought it. Yessss.

Another dive watch I bought that came out in 23 that wasn’t mentioned here was the Seiko sje093.

My pick for a Miyota powered traveler GMT was the Traska Venturer.

From Oris, I would've picked their Pro Pilot GMT, released late November this year.

Enjoying the Marathon steel quartz every night. Nothing like tritium lume❤ Great buy from Teddy!

Hi Teddy, what do you think about Ocen X and Roamer watches?

Teddy Do you rate the tissot pr100 sport I have just purchased one for my collection

Teddy another great video. First I will go on record to say I don’t have a Rolex on my collection. However the puzzle watch is intriguing to me. Partly because the Puzzle is universal symbol for people with Autism. My son is autistic so I do feel a level of connection to the watch. It’s bit out of my price range but i do respect what Rolex is doing and will have a special place in my for it.

Always love your videos Teddy, but I have to admit, the "us participants only" always hurts a bit.

I actually use te Seiko Metronome at work as a paramedic, I use it to set the pace for CPR until we get out Lucas on 😅😅

Super video!

Great video. Tudor Black Bay 54

The Cartier Santos was never on my radar but tried a blue dial one on when my nephew an I were looking for a 21st birthday watch for him and now I somehow have to have one.

Please make a review of Tissot Le Locle Open Heart! It's to me such a beautiful watch at a reasonable price and I am interested to hear your thoughts about it. Thanks!

14:13 wow. Why does it look so unreal? :D Looks so alive/ Futuristic. 21:10... love it too

Amazing video

Really COOL watches teddy, but why didnt you put the citizen tsuyosa😢 on the list, thats a great watch too.😅by the way really like your videos, thanks for the info😅

That Seiko Metronome is really cool.

More of just Teddys picks! 😊

Obviously, love the Seiko Metronome.

Question for you Teddy, do you sell the Seiko Metronome? Or recommend how to get it? It seems it's not that easy to find from a legit seller? Thanks!

Hey Teddy, can we get more showings of the 6.5 inch wrist and your 6.25 wrist for watches? I see often that the 7.63 wrist is displayed but as someone with a smaller wrist myself, it is nice to see how the watch would wear on a wrist like mine. Thanks for the great videos!

I actually picked the same Certina for the 5K Giveaway before even watching the Video, really a great Watch for the 1K price point, I already have a Tissot PM80 Seastar, I think they're probably very close, but you get the Titanium with the Certina for a few bucks more...obviously I would of just picked a Tudor Black Bay as my 1 watch if I could of!

Personally I think best looking watch this year were Seiko SPB383J1, Tudor BB with jubilee and Longines Conquest Chronograph black dial
