@Unknown dude if you aren’t a hoarder and only buy watches to wear, you have to sell from time to time when you want to upgrade or aren’t feeling the love. I never own more than two to three watches, so every time I buy I sell one, it has to be an upgrade. I’m always also conscious life can throw a curve ball, I’m not a trust fund baby. Buying used is simply smart if you know a watch goes down more than AD discounts, which is the case new JLCs (or the Zenith El Primero I got second hand in mint condition), there is no new car smell with a watch.

That Ball, though, strong dial design with long indices and the design of bracelet link also very attractive.

I was just in their store today looking at watches with John, he is an awesome salesman and the passion he has for watches really shows through. It's truly refreshing working with a salesman that knows what they are talking about and can "geek out" on the details of a watch with you. Still making up my mind on which watch to get, but I definitely know who I'll be buying it from!

Man I love that white seamaster, that is a dream watch of mine.

Great choices, Teddy! I really like the route you went with the JLC and the Tissot Seastar. Given the options you had I think both are more unique. I just love that white dial Omega Seamaster and the bronze IWC gives off a great military/vintage vibe. I don’t know that you can make a bad choice with any of the Grand Seiko’s.

Other than some of the case sizes being a lit large for my wrist, I love this collection especially your choice of the IWC Spitfire and the Seastar

It was so nice to meet you dude, glad you came in to the store. Keep it up brother. -Will

That ended up as a great collection. The IWC spitfire made me check out that piece. Bronze really makes it stand out. Plus the JJ master controller and that Seastar stealing the show. Only thing I'd change is the Omega to a different dial. Man, I gotta get 30000.. haha.

Your guy was very helpful and into the process. Great choices, especially the JLC. Killer watch.

Great buys, I have the Omega and wow I smiled when I saw the last buy, I bought a Seastar a couple of months ago and as you said, it’s incredible so thanks for a great video and choice watches sir.

I loved your selections. GS, Omega, Tissot, Jaeger and IWC...Amazing, I just wish I had 30K to spend like that.

Alternate title: teddy splurges on all the watches he’s been wanting to buy (but not really)

A couple of questions Teddy 1) do the stores know that you are coming in a head of time and why (i.e. what you will be doing), 2) do you actually spend $30k in the stores you go to or is it just a 'what you could get for $30k'?

Excellent choice on the Skyflake! That was my first purchase and I LOVE it still. Btw, I agree that on the blue leather strap it looks more dressy, but if you switch it to a bracelet (which I just did) it’s an excellent everyday watch.
