I chose you teddy bulbasaur
as a huge pokemon fan and watch collector that was funny
I post a pic of bulbasaur with my watch several times in the group just to do that joke haha, also I have a bulbasaur looking at m watch collection because of that too
Teddy our favourite pokemon
In an old video he deleted or made private, Seiko5 part 2 or something, he had a sporadic scene where he played "Reddy Bulbasaur" pitching his watch straps. It was the funniest piece of watch content on youtube, but it's gone now.
😂😂😂
Mr. Baldassare - This is off topic, but your knowledge and videos have always been fantastic, one of my favorite CZcams channels…. Would you ever consider doing a video regarding how to negotiate (with proper etiquette) a watch purchase at an AD? Do AD’s negotiate watch prices? Is it appropriate, and if so how to go about it? Thank you.
I am still not sold on Seikos over $1,000 even with the 6R35 movement.
You are the reason I fell in love with the Max Bill in first place and everytime I see the shots you made of that beautiful masterpiece, I fall in love with it again and again. Thank you for that, Teddy.
I have the same! Thanks to Teddy, I learned about the existence of this watch and fell in love with it. Sometimes I catch myself staring at it for a few minutes delighting in it and watching it work.
@@pawelkrzywicki I have a Form C chronoscope that I am grateful to Junghans for producing. An affordable quartz that I think is absolutely one of the best looking watches I have ever owned.
As a Pakistani, really impressed by your knowledge of the particular reputation Rado holds in the subcontinent - shows your attention to detail
Rado Diastar in gold was always the symbol of achievement in Cambodia - often with local ruby customised bezels and dials.
Loved the Doxa segment. I would really love a history lesson into some of the oldest watch brands that are still prominent today. Horology is a fascinating and underrated subject.
I really like Doxa, the look and feel of watches along with their storied history. I have the Sub 300 Carbon Aquamarine and it gets more questions and compliments than my GMT Master II.
The things I love most about your channel, is that in these videos you already state in the tile how many brands it is. Plus in f.e. the moon phase watches video and other videos similar you state the rules for how and why you chose watches right at the beginning.
That's so helpful for viewing and understanding
Very informative presentation. I appreciate the histories you provided. Thank you.
Thank you for the video Teddy. Really appreciate it.
Excellent education, as always. Thank you!
Amazing videos Teddy, Its practically amazing, keep the good work up.
Another great video! Thanks
Great series. Keep em coming
Teddy You should organize a trip to Glashtte, with tours of several important factories - the watch Community would love that. It could be an annual adventure- I know I'd sign up.
Mido looks the best here....
Was wondering how Hamilton Intramatic didn’t make the list and then I checked the retail price and was holy smokes 😮 The inflation and price increases really are pushing it. Guess it will be on the next list between 2000-3000$ price range.
these are all so beautiful! thank you
I really like how you explain things ❤
@TeddyBaldassarre , awesome video as always. Really appreciate the focus on value for money.
I think, however, looking into the pocket watch offerings within this price range (and slightly below) would prove to be interesting.
So glad to see Mido Ocean Star cutting down their size to meet the mid-size range! That's what I've been hoping for for so long.
The Mido is gorgeous....might pick one of those up this summer
That new Mido is absolutely gorgeous! I have the old ocean star 200 Captain and this new one is just perfect! Mine is too big at 42.5 and I don't mind losing the day complication for a smaller case with an amazing textured dial!
Right on the money! Great job Mido!
I bought a 143 a couple of months ago. Can't get enough of it, such a great piece!!!
Impressive! A historical perspective is everything in an Iconic watch. I agree with your presentation of the Junghans brand, it drew me into watch collecting too. As always your knowledge is second to none. Thank You.
Absolutely a must that you continue to the next price point! I may know my range of what I’m willing to spend but it’s nice to see what may be just out of range but worth the stretch to obtain. As always, love your videos as they feed the kid like obsession to watches we all tend to have.
Look at that! Mido is pulling an "hommage" to the Islander Northport! 😀
How can you not mention the 556i here! The ultimate 1-2k tool watch.
I think it's over $2,000 now. But I agree 100%
Great vid as always can you do a review on the Luminox Master Carbon Seal Automatic
will you be doing a video on the new mido ocean star 39, looks beautiful in pictures but would like to hear your opinion on it when holding it in person before i make my decision on buying it lol
Thanks Teddy!
Great stuff. $2000 is probably the top end of what I will eventually spend on my first automatic. So this video will help me on my search. Thanks!
Im feeling the rado diastar looks funky but in a cool way
I guess the MIDO comander should've been included. Maybe in part II
Great choices!
👏🏾 Thanks so much for the history lesson (I love it)! I was drawn to the Diastar (and other Rado models) back in the 90s. I was fascinated with their highly scratch resistant hardened steel technique, which has led me to own tungsten and ceramic watches today. I'm also a fan of Nomos (classic simplicity) and Zodiac (aviation inspired Dragon Wing chrono).
Very cool SeaLab pic! I see a few NAVY Submariners!
It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of amzwatch's watch 99% of people will never see.
Excellent
you are the best teddy.💯👍
Bauhaus and Fliegers are right up my alley. The lugs on the Tangente look so much better on wrist.
I love my Max Bill, which the first watch over $1,000 that I purchased. I don't know if it qualifies as "iconic," but the Tudor 1926 is a watch at the top of this range that is tremendous value for money. You've discussed it many times on your channel. For the price, it's very hard to beat in terms of its aesthetics, brand connection, or mechanics.
Squale 1521 with Von Buren design case back could have been part of this list, which confirms that ‘60 inspired divers models are still the best market options for today’s brands
i love you so much! I recently just found your mamacoo and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
Continue on to the next price point. Very interesting.
I would consider for this list the Glycine Airman (the bronze one is >$1k) and Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic.
Yes. Nivada Super Antarctic. Great choice.
Teddy change the airplane picture to a Stuka or a Messerschmitt when talking about the German pilot watches. That’s an American plane you have on there .
I guess that begs the question. What are the pilots in the Douglas SBD Dauntless wearing?
Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from amzwatch I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.
Hi Teddy, here are some video ideas for you; how about doing watch manufacturers from different regions? For example, one episode for all watches from South America another episode, all watches from Asia, and another episode, all watches from the Middle East etc?
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on amzwatch 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
I love new MIDO BB58.
Continue the series for the sub 1k 🙌
As a Pakistani, I desperately want my people to start exploring other brands. I don't understand why my family is so obsessed with Diastars 🤣🤣
It is true 😂. The gold diastar is worn by everyone.
😂😂😂😂
That's so funny 😂 I wonder why that is? Must be marketing in that region
Same for our Indian folks as well.
@@charuvilat Yep ✊️
Keep going 2-3k and 3-5k, 5-8k, 8-10k. I think me and a lot of other people would absolutely enjoy that so much.
I another great video. But I would love Teddy doing a review on the Hanhart pioneer mk2. A forgotten treasure.
Wow $1200 for a seiko with a throw away 6R movement.
I scored a Max Bill 38mm anthracite dial for $600 a few years back. I love it!
I love Max Bill art and his legacy in art. It’s so surprising that in the art he’s known for his colourful geometric composition. However for the watches he went b&w to bring attention to the fonts…
Nothing from Sinn, Oris or Longlines?
Very nice put together , just one observation - the Nomos Tangente (that everybody praise for it's design) it's basically a clone of a "Stowa Antea Kleine secunde" or other german watches (like Lange) that used the dials from the supplier "Weber&Baral" in the 1930's (inspired by the Bauhaus school). Soo - I don't know how "Iconic" a 1990's Bauhaus "hommage" watch can be... On the other hand - the Max Bill is spot on !
Doxa all the way. The case and bracelet finishing is unparalleled at the price range and also the movement is very dependable. It also has great history and is always a unique conversation starter.
What do you think about the Sinn 556i in this price segment ? :)
It's the best one out of the bunch, I'm guessing he didn't mention it because he has recently in the past.
I've been looking into this watch the last few weeks, and I'm sooo torn about it. On one hand, it is super pretty in its simple, no-nonsense design, and said to be very durable by almost every reviewer, but on the other hand every comment section of videos about Sinn 556 is peppered with comments from people who had some unacceptable QC issues and had to send their watches straight to Sinn. It's a tough call.
I've got one... it's perfect size, tough as nails and great design. Not much not to like..if anything the clasp is a bit large and susceptible to scratches.
Rado was my first love in watches..
Bought my SBDC101 jdm sbp143 from Japan. Sure they have their seiko quirks but it wears perfectly and just never gets old. You can wear for everything other than formal.
I absolutely love that rado
Keep these up, with higher price points.
The SPB153 is great, completely different from cheaper Seikos, and the 143 will be my next watch.
Tissot gentleman and Tudor 1926 could have been added
The Nomos Tangente is an iconic watch for sure. I have owned one, but never could I get used to its strange angulated lugs. The same "lug problem" I have with the Orion: the lugs are bizarrely elongated and sort of triangulanting which spoils the otherwise beautiful watch for me.
Wtf, thanks Teddy that you mention the Diastar. Such a sleeper. My favorite watch in my collection. I own the skeletonized one and love it.❤
What strap are you using on your Max Bill Chronograph?
I really like the Rado diastar ,I might pick one up,they sell them at my local store.
Is yhe .611 powermatic 80 the one you cannot regulate?
Awesome! Happy see a Nomos in there. Now do a $2000-3000 video :D
Now Jump!
Teddy can jump when he wants.
Teddy we need a review of the new Seiko SPB 🙏🏼
Can't help but notice that your SPB143 has a leaner and pontier hour hand. Is this a limited edition or customized model? :)
Longines Skin Diver would be great in this list!
I've noticed that most iconic watches dont have numbers on their dial?
Do a video choosing 1 watch per brand
Thinking the Longines Conquest something mm quartz should be here! Otherwise a killer video
My wife had a dress watch by Rado, and one day the glass just fell clean off the watch.
I’ve never seen such a thing on a watch at any price!
My goodness, how hard did she hit you!
Think about it: The 62MAS cost 36 usd in 1965, which in todays money equates to 367 USD. And the SPB143 costs more than three times as much!
I have a black Rado Diastar r5.5 square chronograph blue dial with ceramic case and titanium bracelet. It is an awesome watch. However, that model of Diastar is a little above this videos budget. I got it for 50 percent off at a jeweler in New Orleans that was no longer going to be an AD for Rado. The deal was too good to pass up and I got it for $1600! That price puts it in this category but I'm sure this video is based on MSRP.
love my black dial max bill
Aquaracer
Oof, I did not know what A. Lange stood for lol
When people are saying #mamacoo is a better option,I very much agree!
The watches I’m into right now for 1-2 k
Longines conquest
Seikos red sharp edge
Iris ox blood pointer date
Seiko spb 143 this monster on the straps and especially the integrated rubber one, is my only watch that I have worn for 2 years. It is such a great looking watch that when I am interested in watches and I see something else that I could buy, the question always arises "but why?" and I would not wear it anyway.
Just bought my third watch from you ( thank you William B). How about some kind of contest to win a trip to your store and lunch. I’m sure you have tons of fans that would love to talk watches with you. Basically watch collecting is a satisfying but lonely hobby. Of my many friends, none can notice the difference between a citizen quartz and an AP.
Teddy tough question for you why don't you consider Maurice Lacroix
Titoni impetus and star are massive in India.. Sell away more than Mido. Longines heritage..
Teddy Bulbasaur
Teddy just wanted to ask your opinion on a point of mine.Do you agree with Seiko stamping their watches with the Prospex and Pressage logo?I personally hate it and it is so frustrating because those watches look great.What is wrong with having only the Seiko name on them.I can understand it for the Seiko King and Grand Seiko but not for those.Find it horrible seeing that logo on those lovely looking watches.
Teddy. How come you never highlight the Shinola watches. Which are made in Detroit USA.
Are they assembled or are they actually completely manufactured in Detroit.
I bought this popular video watch from mamacoo , which was originally priced at a few thousand dollars, but now it's only $380! It's really suitable to pick up feces!
I'm currently waiting for the arrival of a Junghans Max Bill 38 sapphire roman numerals no date watch.
My 41st anniversary gift to myself.
I'm concerned if I made the right decision for the no date since Junghans use a ghost date movement.
I have plenty of day date watches and wanted a clean Bauhaus design at 3 o'clock.
Will arrive within 4 days from the time I'm literally writing this. An absolute grail for me.
Teddy knew how toxic watchnerds can be and literally took out the dictionary definition😂
Nomos Tangente 164 is a fantastic no-date hand-wound incredibly thin watch. Fantastic watch. And their shell cordovan straps are really nice.
What about Ball?
Maybe an iconic brand but which Ball watch would you consider iconic.
