Teddy, thanks for continuing to enlighten not only me, but everyone else who watches (no pun intended) your videos. You’ve been an extremely valuable resource throughout my journey into collecting and appreciating timepieces.
Thank you very much for the kind comment, my friend! I honor to have been of any help and appreciate the support.
No way bro really put no pun intended
😂
Amazing content as always. Big shout out to Teddy and his team for producing some of the best content out there.
Thank you very much, Nick!
Good info Teddy. I also would add an airblower to the list when opening casebacks. To check if your watch is magnatized, use a compass. A small correction here: A magnatized watch can only gain time. If it suddenly looses much time, there is something wrong with the watch and need to be investigated (serviced / repaired by a watchmaker).
Great video Teddy, I've been looking for this exact information the last few days. Having everything in one video is super helpful.
Lots of handy advice Teddy as always. Regarding demagnetisers, I bought one of the cheap generic blue Chinese made ones earlier this year and it did the trick perfectly on a couple of my watches that had been gaining time a bit too much. This included my 20 year-old Rolex Sub 16610 and it's now still keeping an average +1 secs a day. Far easier and cheaper than getting it regulated by a watchmaker. Wolf do some amazing accessories and watch winders, but if $300 is a bit too steep for many folk, I'd recommend Mozsly @ around £65 ($85) each. I have four and they do the job, are robust and reliable.
Thank you for your quality videos, really comprehensive content and clear.
This was much needed. For anyone who loves watches. Thank you, Teddy 👍
Thank you so much! Your advice is always priceless.
Yes Teddy! Thank you for this!
Great video! Very useful, thanks!
I have almost everything you have mentioned in this excellent video. thanks for this .
Wow Teddy. Such a comprehensive, useful video that hardly anyone has covered, especially with this level of production value. Thank you for your work ⏱🤍
Excellent video. For good and sufficient reasons, I wanted to keep any notes applying to a specific watch. So, I put 1 x 3 note with each watch and then each watch in a ziplock baggie.
Great list for the serious enthusiast. I would add an inexpensive set of fine tweezers, preferably straight. 45 and 90 degree to make battery changes easier and a caseback closing press.
Terrific video Teddy, over the years I've accrued many of the items in the list from experience. A great idea for those people pondering doing some things themselves, a shame this wasn't around when I initially started and would have saved me money and slight damage in the early days all those years ago.
Another excellent video, Teddy. Thank you for the valuable information 👍🏼
the production value of these videos is insane. keep up the great work!
Great list! I would add a diamond selector, for checking crystals. They are very cheap and can detect sapphire crystals very accurately.
One of my favorite videos yet!
This is amazing video quality, and a video that I’ve been waiting for for a while
Thanks Teddy. Really great and very helpful.
Great video Teddy, really appreciated the info!
Thank you for the great content. 👍🏻
Thanks Teddy! very informative.
Just what I was looking for thank you!
Very cool video, much needed content that rarely get talked about... Thanks a lot! :)
Great video Teddy , thanks!
I have never seen such a detailed and comprehensive video. Very impressive and useful. Thanks for your information and video.👏👍👌
Loving the music choices 👌🏻
One of the best videos from Teddy.
A strap change/upgrade indeed is one of the most impactful things to improve your experience with a watch. A watch can feel so much more premium / expensive with a simple strap change (upgrading to solid links/better leathers quality). Also having tools to adjust bracelets, or tools to remove/place spring bars also help so much especially if you're buying a watch or strap online and you can't really have someone adjust a bracelet or change a strap for you.
A very nice informative and educative video. Thank you.
Thanks Teddy. I would love to be able to learn how to fix watches as a hobby sometime in the future.
Great video, a real complete list of "must haves". This will help out a lot of folks, thanks for sharing.
Have a great day. -David
Great helpful content. I have 50 watches and been wearing a watch for at least 45 years. Still great info to know.
Like your style! I'm a fan.
Excellent !
I was wondering about things to buy as a watch collector then, this video came out. Just on time!
Thanks for the vídeo. I would add a simple compass, with it we can diagnose whether or not a mechanical watch is magnetized
I have been waiting on this video.
Excelente video Teddy. 👏 👏
Yay I need to know this
Watch box, spring bar remover, bracelet pin remover, little plastic mallet, silver polishing cloth, chux scouring pad, polywatch, watching timing app on mobile phone, good mini-screwdriver set.
That's my list. Never used a caseback remover except for on a Vostok Amphibia.
Great information. I have to say that I’m too intimidated to do anything to my watches. One thing that has kept me from purchasing a watch online is adjusting the bracelet to fit my small wrist.
Always nice to watch an early morning Teddy video!
Thanks Brendan. Have a great rest of your Friday!
Thanks for your informative videos!!!! I’ve definitely got to find a better selection of screwdrivers for the 3 (from a watch repair kit) I’ve got don’t fit some of the really small screws on bracelets. The Wolf storage for 15 watches works quite well for me. Thanks very much again Teddy!!!!
wow, this is really a great and useful topic! Thanks Teddy
Thanks, my friend!
The video I didn't know I needed.
I checked the article and added a winder to my Christmas list!
Great video !
I had multiple different watch winders. Within 6-8 months they would get noisy. By 1 year they would start breaking. I finally bit the bullet and bought a Wolf winder. Ive had it for at least 3 years and it still runs like its brand new. I will never again waste my money on an inferior product.
Great vid!
Awesome video Teddy
So informative.
Would you answer the following question next time you do a tool maintenance video please
As a frequent flyer what preparation do you do with the watches your travelling with in multiple time zones?
To be more specific - what would you wear through the airport ?
What style to wear when travelling from where I live in Australia to Canada multiple times a year.
Do you or would suggest any other trips for the watches you are personally carrying in either watch rolls or say 3 watch boxes?
Do you set dates and time ahead ?
Or leave to hack once you arrive ?
Hope I have been specific enough ?
I would also love to see more examples of the use of the tools for the collector.
As in how would you organise day a 12/24/36 watch collection ?
Do you have them broken up into keepers / sell / trade ?
Not just style wise ?
Thanks so much for your videos they simply are a MUST for anyone into watches.
🙏
I was always into watches but discovering this channel is inspirational! Teddy do you ship Hamilton field watches to Ireland?
Another informative video - Thanks! Re: watch boxes, I have a 16.5 cm wrist and find that the oval pillows to mount the watches on are too large. Which watch boxes are made for owners with smaller wrists?
For plain ‘ole acrylic crystals, simple white toothpaste will get out small scratches with ease. Have used for years and a few times on a couple Vostoks I have recently. Just my 2 cents.
Good video
Thank you, great content! What kind of loupe are you using? Is it x2.5?
Polywatch can really do well on stainless steel for that mirror finish, top tip.
Hey Teddy, thanks for all the great videos. I noticed you didn’t add the brand/model of the measuring tool and the watch roll. I would love to know what they are. Thanks
I got a travel watch roll (the kind with the flap and snaps) for Christmas last year. I love that thing. It takes up more space in a suitcase than a regular watch roll, but I feel my watches can withstand anything the TSA throws at them when in the roll. One accessory I need is some sort of dedicated storage for all the boxes my watches came in. Just kidding...kinda. I keep them in a cabinet and I'm never going to get rid of them, but I'm almost at the place in my watch game that I want some kind of intentional space for the boxes, and not just stack them haphazardly in a cabinet. First world problems...but the struggle is real:)
Teddy would be cool to see options for storing watch straps.
This is a good video. Did not know I could just buy a demagnetizer. That may be a good addition since I just got a nice automatic.
Hello Teddy, God bless you !
Teddy Bulbasaur.
Gonna keep this going.
Great ideas - I have everything you show except for the spring bar pliers and the watch winder. And my tool kit is cheap Chinese stuff - I should get a Bergeon set.
I can imagine that spring bar tweezers are really good for integrated bracelets
Always great content. I have all these tools except I spotted a new one I need Band pin pliers, that is cool. I do have a stubborn watch back that was over tightened. Tried that ball, nope, adjustable 2 fingers on a slide. The case only has micro groves on the edge like a Rolex. Wont budge. I think I need to take it in to a watch maker that has a Rolex back removal tool that has the proper dies for the back. You need a $500 tool to remove the back from a $100 watch.
Love that you used the Duro as the example of changing straps. The straps are great quality but a terrible fit on wrist.
AP nylon travel cases are pretty fun. only $150 on ebay. Firm case and says Audemars Piguet on the side
I've never considered a watch pouch for travel. Great tip!
@Teddy Baldassarre you should see these bots using your name
Great video, teddy! Quick question! Does the cape cod cloth work on rose gold or gold polished dials? Or will it give that buffed look to the dial if used on it? I have a Seiko kinetic novak djokovich special edition which has a gold dial and has a small scratch on it. Was wondering if this will help it or make it worse. Thanks in advance! Awaiting your response.
Thanks for this rich video as always you are the best. The magnifier tool, i use my smartphone to zoom in take a picture and zoom more to check the alignment and imperfection specially when you go to shop for the Seiko!!! if it is aligned and without imperfection this mean it is a fake Seiko.
I got into watches probably 6 months ago. Nothing crazy - just an Orient Triton (a new version) and CasiOak, plus gifted my wife an SNK809 to see if it will scratch the itch for her(we both been wearing smartwatches for the last 5 or 6 years). 2 days ago I bought myself a watch tool kit as I feel like the winter is a great time to try and mod a dresskx for myself plus my wife really enjoys swapping straps on her SNK. Not to mention that Smiths 36mm and Seitona are on the way to expand our collections/ Now looking back I can tell that you Teddy is probably the person that showed how wonderful the world of mechanical watches can be and that you don't have to spent crazy money to find something that you are happy with and enjoy on a daily basis. So thanks for that :)
Hey Teddy would you be able to shoot us a link for those "spring bar pliers"? I can't seem to find the ones your using in the video 😆
Man you are the best
Where did you get the spring bar watch plyers Teddy? Looks like such quality
I think a category that is sorely missing in this excellent video is Cleaning and Care. I would love a deep dive on how to keep steel, rubber, precious metals.. cleaning video
Another detail about screwdrivers that I just learned and wish the experts would mention is the shape of the screwdriver tip. There are wedge shaped and T or hollow ground. Wedge shaped may or may not go all the way into a screw slot. They can slip out and cause scratches. Particularly important on bracelet screws. T or hollow ground are kind of T shaped and the sides of the blade are parallel, so they go ll the way down to the bottom of the screw and stay put, so less likely to walk out of the slot.
Maybe a video on screwdrivers and how to deal with bracelet screws (including how to loctite) would be of interest.
Do you have a video on what watches we could start with if we want to start with watching making hobbies?
I've got a main watch, but a bunch of straps for it. If I wanted to travel with a few straps, what would you suggest for storage? Watch roll?
Which spring bar tweezers would you recommend?
Top vid.
Any recommendations for Spring Bar tweezers?
Where did you find the spring bar pliers? I can't find the model you demonstrated.
Teddy, I appreciate your content. I've learned a lot from you kid. Thank you.
Where did you buy your Bergeon spring removal bar. I zoomed in on yours, the one I found on Amazon had an N in front of the 6767. Is this legit or a cheap knock off. I know kind of silly, just curios.
When it comes to watch boxes, have you looked at N&N watch cases out of Russia. A little pricey but they look amazing and they will do custom work.
Did your dad compose the intro song? It’s beautiful. Where can I get the track?
Teddy, I have the WINDSOR 10PC WATCH BOX but the pillows that comes with it are too small for my watches. Do you have any suggestion how to fix it or if there are replacement pillows that I can buy that would fit into the Wolf Windsor box? Thanks.
Strapcode sells a Miltat Japanese hook spring bar tool that’s so good for seiko fat spring bars that you can do it with your eyes closed.
What's the formex watch at the bottom left in the wolf box ? Reef ? Looks smaller 🤔
How many watches do you have, and do you have a max limit ? Just curious
Cheers from San Diego California
I've literally just started my watch journey. I bought 1 timex and haven't stopped looking for the perfect watch, I still haven't seen it so I have a lathe, mill and movements on the way. I know I made a mistake after changing the leather strap, with quick release spring bars, I put the metal bracelet on and instantly panicked that I'd never be able to remove it. Figured I'll just leave it and make something else.
Nice
Can someone please tell me the reference number of that Seiko on 8:57 :)?
Nice and educational video! What are peoples views of phone apps as an alternative to a timegrapher?
I've tried both "toolwatch" and "watch accuracy meter", and think they have been fine for covering my basic needs :)
When I've been waiting for this video for months and finally just decided to buy a couple random tools 2 days ago. Anyways glad too see it, amazing video
I hope you enjoy it!
Direto e honesto.
Like the intro sounds
Good collection of tools, but I’m going to pass on the loupe, as I don’t want to know all the imperfections on my lovely budget watch collection 😎🤣
Digital calipers why? I like the mechanical analog calipers it works beautifully. Once you buy it you're set for life. If there is a zero count error it maybe because of a small burr which you can remove easily by a good old wipe.
