In this video, I take the popular concept of the three-watch collection, combining a sport, dress, and casual or beater watch, to create a complete collection. Then, I'll apply the three-watch collection framework to six different price ranges from attainable to high horology. What do you think of my picks? Would any of you be able to check all your boxes with only three watches?

I truly appreciate the way you analyse a watch collection. You always find new "good ideas" for us. from 500 $ per watch to 50 000 $ per watch it is perfect. Thank you so much.
I didn't want to pay more than $500 per watch for my three watch watch collection. I got a Hamilton khaki king day/date on a ColaReb strap, a Junghans Max Bill, and a Lorier Neptune SIII. I'm very happy with them. This channel was very helpful in making my selections, so thanks for that!
Great taste. I love the Junghans Max Bill / Meister. Khaki field always pops in my mind as a nice watch. I didn't know the Lorier, but it looks amazing. Reminds me a bit of Oris Diver 65. Great collection. Enjoy.
I just bought the exact Cartier tank you mentioned, except it was the smaller version because it was a wedding gift for my wife who I married this past weekend. She cried when she opened the box. It was her first high-value watch. I'm so glad this timepiece will be part of our family and passed down over time. It's great to see you feature this watch here. I also did an unboxing on my page if anyone is interested!
Congratulations, may you enjoy children and good health.
Congratulations, a great and thoughtful gift!
congratulations my friend, may you both live long and healthy lives together!
I’m late to this comment but congrats on the wedding! May all your ups and downs be between the sheets
You guys divorced yet?! 😂
I got my 5 watches collection under $1000: hamilton khaki field mechanical for field watch, seiko 5 snkl41 for dress watch, homage seagull 1963 for fun chrono watch, vostok amphibia for dive/sport watch, and of course a casio digital watch for work.
Solid collection 👏🏽
Of course that damned Bambino ! 😂
Can never leave it out... Damn great watch😂
I just…i know it’s “good value” but…it’s so ugly 😭
@@drewsleyy3836 For me, I am not as sure that the Orient Bambino is ugly as much as a fatigued appearance. I value mine and find it to be be fun but think that its appeal has limitations. Though more expensive, an alternative at $945 is the Pitzmann First Edition, which is nicer than the Seiko SPB113. Unlike the Bambino, or at least Version 2, the hands are blued by heating and has an enamel dial. Definitely more expensive than the Bambino but even better value with a Sellita movement, but that dial and those hands scream intrigue.
@@Thecreatorshaq It is a classic ⌚. I like how it has some finesse but is not pretentious.
I picked up a white-dial, silver indices Bambino Gen 2 v1 for about $125 new off of Amazon. Phenomenal deal
Just getting into collecting and really enjoying all of your videos that break down selections and categories over a price range. Seeing and learning what makes a watch an exception for its price range is motivating.
Great video! Always happy to see you posted! Lovely combination of being informative but relatable/casual. Keep up the good work
❤️ great vid Teddy. My current under $1000 (in total) watch collection: 5600e g shock for outdoors and adventure, Hamilton pilot pioneer for everyday and a vintage 60s 35mm Enicar dress watch... the best of the lot is the Hamilton. Its slim, great finishing and dial, lovely accurate movement that's a joy to wind every few days.... just the perfect "one watch" if you needed only one... stunner It's a humble collection as I decided to sell my Omegas and IWC Mark 16 to keep things simple. But I'm sure I'll get something luxurious again some day...
Happy to see Ball on the list! I recently picked up a Ball Fireman Victory and I love it. My favorite watch I own 😊
Wow. This was an amazing video! Loved how much thought went into choosing each watch for all categories. Bravo Teddy!
Great content Teddy. I used to wear a Timex Ironman for my beater but just changed to a Hamilton Khaki scuba. I got that on a bracket but swapped it for a Nato strap. I’ve a dress watch which is a Citizen eco drive which I’ve had for 8 yrs and not missed a beat. Recently purchased an Omega Railmaster( Seamaster co axil master chrono…yes that long winded title for a watch) on a nylon strap and am blown away with the quality. Being brushed stainless it doesn’t attract attention & I can wear where & when I want in UK. At moment in London and other cities the criminal elements have sussed what to look for in watches & robberies are common. Keep up the great work
I have to say that the Longines Dolce Vita is a great dress watch with the sector dial and even has a date that blends well into the dial. The Seamaster 300M is another start performer. I have seen and do like the Ranger as for what you are getting for the price with the MT5402 chronometer movement is very good, I could be tempted at some point. Some watches that could be options in a few categories could be the Tudor BB 36 black dial and one of my favourites the Omega Constellation Globemeaster.
Love these scenario videos, very fun thought exercises and way to consider collecting. For me, I think a G-Shock would end up in the casual/beater category in each tier, just moving up the G-Shock tier each time. To end with a $4k + MR-G as a “daily beater” is quite the thought.
Great video! Great ideas! My 3 watch collection is a Longines Avigation A7 1935 black dial. This is my conversation piece. My dress piece. With the cocked dial having 12 at 1 and being one of the only if not the only single button chrono(start, stop, reset all in 1 button) ever produced, a lot of people notice it. My sport watch is a Casio Pathfinder, my cheapest watch. It has a compass, Barometer, Thermometer, and Altimeter built into it as well as sunrise and sunset. It's a Casio G-shock on steroids that is solar charged so it never dies as long as there is light. My casual wear/beater is a GS Spring Drive SBGA413. I was looking to get a Rolex or Omega but screw Rolex right now and Omega was just too cliche. My AD started carrying GS and I saw this one and tried it on and it fit perfectly, had the perfect weight. The sweeping second hand is pretty nifty and the movement is really nice. My only gripe is it doesn't have lume but I wear it to work everyday in lit conditions so it's not like I am missing it. Thanks for sharing Teddy! Have a good one!
IWC Aquatimer, great choice I recently bought the blue dial, very underrated watch, and as you suggested, very underrated within IWC...one of the best pieces I have..and with respect to the Pilot, which I had at one point, much better fit and look! Great addition!
My three: Omega Planet Ocean, Seiko 5 GMT and Seiko King Turtle. Love them all for different reasons. Keep up the good work Teddy.
I’ve had the watch virus for about 10 years now, and I started humbly with fashion watches like Guess collection, Police, Royal London and Rotary. All 3-500 bucks max. I had about 9 watches, and I loved them all. More recently I’ve gotten more deeply infected and have given away all my fashion watches (except my big Police) and have upgraded my game to a three watch collection, which will probably go to four. My dress watch is a stainless Cartier Tank, in the large Automatic edition called The Must. It’s on a stainless bracelet. Looks great on my 7.5 inch wrists. That said I wish it were thinner. I tend to roll my sleeves up when I wear it cuz otherwise it kind of gets caught. My sport watch is the Longines Hydro-Conquest in blue. I just loved the color and the boldness. I opted for the 43mm over the 41. I’m a big guy and I can “pull it off” without it looking too clunky (at least that’s what the salesman said.) and he had no dog in that hunt since either size was the same price. I confess that it’s a lower price substitute for a blue Seamaster 300, but I just couldn’t pull the trigger on a watch twice as expensive just yet. Besides recently, every time I buy myself a watch. my wife wants one too. 🙉 For my “beater” I own a Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Powermatic 80 in two tone. It was my 1st automatic watch and I love the way it looks. It can kind of stand in as my dress watch or go with me to the office (I’m a chiropractor) and is dressy enough to multitask but not take the place of my Longines dive watch, So I have a bit of cross functionality there. At this stage of my hobby, as a newbie, I’m kind of searching for a thread of meaning which I want to run through my collection endeavors, aside from just a hunger for more and more expensive pieces which I find alluring. I tend to stay away in principle from “unused capacity” in a watch, in the sense that as much as I love the way they look, I wouldn’t probably buy a Navitimer or a Longines Flyback. Not unless I’d plan to learn to use it! Something inside of me thinks it’s a waste of unused capacity! I feel the same about cars and sound equipment! Buy something you like within your use profile! Even if I could afford one I wouldn’t buy a Lamborghini since there’s no place to drive it! For me it’s about looks, and function, and reliability. I may go with independents some day, once I know more, and I fall in love with somebodies story. Love to hear some feedback on my thoughts.
Alternate option: take watchs from other family members 😂
I totally agree with some commenters here that you rarely need more than three watches in your possession. Mostly because you really need to give it a wrist time to truly appreciate and to build emotional connection with a time piece. My actual 3-watch collection (not counting g-shocks and 🍏) is: 1. Explorer - daily / do it all. 2. Santos medium - dress on a strap, sports on a bracelet. 3. Pelagos LHD - beater / summer.
My son wants to start a watch collection, so this is very helpful. His dress watch choice is the Sternglas Asthet White Dial, sports watch is the Seiko 5 GMT Orange Dial, but for a beater he wants the Laco Pilot Aachen, so all 3 for around $1400.
My $1,000 collection--- 1. Dress -- Seiko "Tank" $175 2. Everyday -- Vario 1918 Trench watch in brass ($400) with a brass shrapnel guard ($100) and cordovan leather NATO strap ($100) -- $600 3. Beater -- Casioak solar $150
Great choices! I like a mix of “standards” and something unique or even avant-guarde. In the $15K category, I’ll start with a dress watch I already own, the Dubey & Schaldenbrand Vintage Caprice in rose gold. My sport watch would be the blue Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, and my “beater” would be the Louis Erard Le Semaine.
I am new to watch collecting, and have pretty well decided on my primary three. My choices reflect my taste, or lack thereof, as an engr. The beater is the Invicta Pro Diver. It's on the way, a Christmas gift from my oldest daughter. I put her on a $48 Amazon deal. The dresser is the Grand Seika Snowflake. I am presently looking for a deal on that. And the geek option that will see the least wear is the Niwa Lunokhod. I have that on order from their second batch, due for delivery by April. I already have a couple of decent quartz watches, but I will never buy another battery powered watch in the future.
I am always impressed that you cover all of the price ranges. You are not just a Rolex guy. You talk to everyone, and every enthusiast income level. No one is more important than the other. Every different level of watch has its features. Thank You for your knowledge. I learn something new in every video. Especially a brand I haven't thought of in a long time. (e.g. Nomos)
I want to build a 3 watch collection. This are my top pick, i already got the BB58. 1. Tudor Black Bay 58 (Black) 2. Omega Speedmaster Professional 3861 Sapphire 3. Cartier Santos Large
I'll argue that I'll prefer the new Omega Speedmaster 57 in bracelet for the sport watch at $10,000 range. It's a gorgeous watch with a beautiful case back and free sprung balance wheel. It also have a nice jumping hour feature while still maintaining the traditional Omega style.
Some awesome recommendations. Since I've already started a watch collections, it's too late to rethink that. My collection is very eclectic. It started with dress watches, moved to sports watches and tool watches. Although I appreciate what goes into movements, the main factor is eye appeal and wrist compatibility.
Thank you so much for your detailed videos Teddy. I'm now convinced that buying watches is a lot more complicated than buying cars.
My three watch collection: - Everyday: Longines Spirit Zulu Time (Black dial) - Sportier: Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch (Sapphire Sandwich) - Dress: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41mm (Blue dial). I know this last one can seem a bit sportier too, but it looks damn good in a suit!
Moonwatch is my daily (Hesalite).
If I were to have a 3 watch collection, it would include: 1. JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon 2. Longines Spirit Zulu Time 3. Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra (41mm) but I just know there's no way i'm having a 3 watch collection haha
Hello! I have N° 2 & N° 3 from you list: Longines Spirit Zulu Time with anthracite dial and green bezel on metal stripe, and Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Caliber 8500, 41 mm, with blue dial on metal stripe. I'm ultra happy and proud wearing them as I can be 😊🥳💯‼️‼️‼️
Your number one is a beautiful watch, it would also be in my top 3.
My current 3 watch collection is Seiko 5 Pepsi, Full metal Steel Casioak and PRX Automatic Green dial
Nice, I love this combination. but which would you classify as a dress watch amongst them.. the PRX? Or should I assume that you are more casual oriented?
1. Hamilton Khaki Murph 38 2. Omega Seamaster 300m Professional 3. Tissot PRX Powermatic 80
I just added the sport/daily/centerpiece to my three watch collection: Dress: Hamilton Intramatic (I wore this watch at my wedding) Sport: Tudor BB54 (Saw it in Paris on vacation last year and immediately fell in love) “Beater”: Marathon MSAR Arctic (a mechanical watch that I know can take an absolute beating because NATO says so!) (~$6000 total)
Love these videos! They give me a great idea of what I want. I’m the type of persona that needs a specific watch for each occasion.
Fun choices there. A 3-watch collection from my own collection: Dress - Dad's 1955 Rolex Oyster; Sports - Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean; Beater - Casio Royale.
I like to categorize my dream three-watch collection by compilations: -Chrono: Zenith el primero open -GMT: Tudor black bay GMT S&G -Not really a true "complication", but JLC Reverso for its flip caseback
Yema Superman Quartz (500), Tissot PRX (300), Omega seamaster Aquaterra Quartz. (1400) Preowned (never take the first hit) A 2200 collection. Do you have Rolex feelings? Go for Steinhart. Ocean 1 (400) and adventure (490 new). These are hommages yes. But they put Rolex to shame with the very high quality. That is a 5 watch collection for just a bit over 3000. Leaves some money for a cool watchbox too.
Great video. My three watch collection in the order I’ve purchased: 1) Rolex Submariner (black) 2) IWC Pilot Chrono 43mm (blue) 3) Rolex Daytona (white) May swap in something from Omega for the Submariner…..time will tell.
I was just thinking of this topic when this video came up on my feed. I'm looking at a lesser expensive Seiko Presage that you talked about a while back. I tried it on and loved it. But there is also this great watch store in New York City that I walk past regularly and there is a Bucherer that looks almost exactly like the Seiko. At about 20x the price, way out of my price range. Only a fashionista would tell the difference but most other people wouldn't at a casual glance. But I thought if I could get it, I would still keep and love the Seiko. Not as a beater but simply because it's just more practical and sometimes, more appropriate, to wear a lesser expensive watch. Keep up the great work. I hope to purchase the Seiko from your website within the coming weeks.
+100 for mentioning Czapek. The Antarctique would be a grail watch for me and when I say "grail", I mean it in its original sense of "dreamed of but unattainable".
A beautiful alternative to Czapek is Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda
Thanks for this great info helping us build collects with different budgets.
Great vid concept. Would love to see a video on 3 watch collection in the diver category. I love divers enough where I’d rather have 3 that I could wear on different occasions - e.g. dress diver, beater diver, lux or high capability diver.
Go with three Casio Duros - pick out your favorite colors;put one on a SS bracelet, the next one on a color coordinated rubber strap, and the last one on a NATO. Bingo you have your three watch collection for all occasions!
Bravo! What fun! Perhaps this sort of notion could be undertaken whereby all the watches come from the same brand, with the price thresholds being in line with the brand’s unique pricing tiers for their pieces. Thank you.
Of my current collection (which is more than 3), I would make a 3WC with the following categories: casual, sport/diver, statement. I don't have a big need for a true dress watch, so it's not something I would wear very often. (I have a vintage Wakmann from my dad that I can wear if I wanted a traditional dress watch, at 34mm handwind) Casual: Farer Lander (on a faded orange barton canvas strap). Fun colors, super wearable. Sport/Diver: Sinn U50. tegimented case is ready to take on everything. Statement: Christopher Ward Bel Canto. I was lucky enough to get the original blue model, and I love it. It's such a unique piece of art, almost overshadowing the timepiece portion, since the time is actually fairly difficult to read at a glance. But who cares. It's gorgeous! DING!
My three watch collection is really a two watch collection since two of my watches fills the same purpose: 1.Rolex Oyster perpetual 39 | 114300 white dial on oyster bracelet 2. Grand Seiko SBGA211 "Snowflake" on a leather strap 3. Omega Speedmaster cal. 3861 Sapphire I love white dials and prefer wearing white dials for pretty much every occasion, so I mostly alter between the Rolex and Grand Seiko. I love that I can switch between the two white dials, but keep things interesting for me because of having a leather strap on the Grand Seiko, and Bracelet on the OP. The Omega Speedmaster is my go to sporty watch
Nice collection and I have to agree; that snowflake dial on the GS is a thing of beauty all its own.
Nice recommendations! You should do a 2 watch collection. There are plenty of us who don't need a formal watch.
Exactly. 2 or 3 nice sport watches is more fun for me.
I do own a Marathon GSAR and a Seiko SARB035. I’d need to pick up a dress watch to round up the collection. I was considering Seiko Dolce. Mainly because of the value. Regardless of the budget I’d be putting around 50% on my daily driver. For some it would be a sports or a dress watch. It just depends on what you like and what you do for living. And splitting the remaining money between the other two watches.
Fantastic video! Instant subscribe. Really intrigued 🤔 by that Longines rectangular dress watch, among others.
Awesome video Teddy! I’m looking into buying my first luxury watch now, your videos are such an amazing help! What watch do you have on in this video? Looks like the style of Watch I really like!
Some great choices here! If I were going to build my dream 3 watch collection with no budget it'd be the Greubel Forsey Balancier S (sports), the Credor Eichi (dress watch), and an Omega Planet Ocean ("beater").
My 3 watch collection would be my Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra, Tudor Black Bay Red, and Casio G Shock. The Black bay is a great every day watch, the G shock handles any day where I'm doing a lot of physical stuff and the Aqua Terra is as close to a dress watch as I would ever need.
Teddy the Mido strap has the best adjustment of all the watches I own. Wish all brands had something similar. Perfect fit every time.
Agreed… just got a Mido Ocean Star 600 Chronometer… has the quick adjustment bracelet
I would say Breguet 7337 for a dress watch with complications, Rolex GMT Master II left handed as an all-round (I’m a leftie) and an Omega Seamaster PO ceramic 39,5mm black as a beater. Love Breguet, and those baroque details. For Rollie - just a pop-culture watch, plus great that I’m left-handed. Omega PO - scratch resistant ceramic, perfect size, great movement and water resistance
I have Seiko SNK809 Casio GA-110 Casio a-168 I think its not that bad and a good starter pack for different cases
A bit late to chime in but I just came across this video. The problem with a 3-watch collection is keeping it a 3-watch collection 😉. Anyway, for what it's worth, I have three watches exactly, a Hamilton Khaki Field Bronze 38 mm, a Tudor Black Bay Pro 39 mm and a Seiko Speedtimer Solar 39 mm. Still, always on the lookout 😊
Three watch collection with unlimited budget: 1.) Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix Compete Calendar 2.) F.P.Journe Automatique Lune Havana 3.) A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 moon phase
I also suggest the Bertuccci DX3 field watch. I got one for $54 and now they are $75. They are great watches, light and durable. Washable strap. Awesome watch for under $100
Myself, I have a three watch collection .... The first is an AP, RO, OS Diver, Special Edition (2018), in White Gold with Tangerine Effects. The second is another Limited Edition (2016); an AP, RO, OS Flyback Chronograph in Forged Carbon and Pink Gold, and the Third is a Rolex Submariner Date (2000) in 18 Carat Gold and Stainless Steel .... All the watches are very different to each other, so I don't get bored wearing them .... Cheers.
Super fun video. I think in the 5000 category you have a good variety as well, looking at the dressing watches of Frederique Constant. Even that Longines is beautiful. In the unlimited category, the dressing category is a terrible "all you can eat" buffet. Your pick is spectacular. Then you have VC with the Historiques collection, or PP with the 5531 and the grand complication collection... well that is the good thing of not being in that category I guess hahah Again, great and fun video!
This is great. I entered this viewing having tried the Seiko 5 GMT, wanting to buy the Casioak and saving for the Mido Ocean Star. And then I see you showing all of them. I wish I had more money 😞
I have an under $100 collection. Formal: timex fairfield 37 mm white dial Every day: casio mtp v005 blue dial Sport: casio w217h I doubt any can beat the value for money of this collection. Note: when I have more than 5 grands of savings, I change my car (10 thousand is a new car in my country). I can't believe the amount of money rich people waste in toys. The worst case are the J&Co. Those are really unwearable music boxes, just toys my little kid would like to play with. And just one of them cost ten times my house. It's crazy
Ohh, and sorry if my comment sound like a rant, it was not my intention. I love watches and I love this channel. Specially because here the watches are considered by their true value (no wonder why there are not much reviews of J&Co astronomia here). But people paying twice the retail price of a rolex, just because it is a rolex, when Teddy is constatly showing lower cost alternatives, I don't understand it.
At right about $1500, I have a three watch collection that I absolutely LOVE. All Steinharts (I know you can't sell them as they are mfg-direct, so you never mention them). Amazing quality for the price. Hell, at ANY price. My everyday beater is the Steiny Ocean GMT OLKO Special Edition homage of the Rolex 1655. My dive watch (I do dive) is an Ocean 39 Black Ceramic, and my dressier watch is the Steinhart Ocean 39 Adventure Classic. GREAT watches, all. On the rare occassion I need to get even dressier, I have a Tissot V8 Chronograph on a black alligator strap. 😎👍
For me it would be the JLC master control moonphase, Tudor Royal 41mm Day date and a Casio g shock either a full metal or a MR G square. I'm working on this now
Dress: Grand Seiko SBGK007 Sport: Tudor Pelagos 39 Beater: Casio F-91W
Totally possible to have a nice collection under 300, Orient Bambino + Vostok Amphibian/Komandirskie + Gshock 5600
My 3-watch collection: White dial 38mm Omega aqua terra with stainless steel bracelet, Black dial 37mm Longines spirit with brown leather strap, Seiko spb 145 with the stainless steel bracelet swapped with a black hirsch rubber strap.
Grwat video as always! I would love to see a video doing the same thing with some price brackets between 25k and unlimited!
My collection is also small and modest; 1- Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime for special events, ( Xmas, Kwanzaa etc) 2-Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytona is my daily 3- Heuer Monaco "Steve McQueen is my watch that never leaves home.
Very modest.😂
My 3 watch collection would be 1- 1990-s Rolex DayJust 36 two tone reference 16233 with Champaign Dial 2- Omega Planet Ocean 2201.50 in 42 mm 3- Casio „Royale“ world timer in metal style
My 3 watch collection is Dress: Seiko Presage SRPB77 Sport: Orient Kamasu II Beater: G-Shock 5610u
My Dream 3 watch collection would be (probably 😂): Tudor Black Bay 58 (the black vintage one) Oris Rectangular as my dress watch (the white dial with green strap swapping the strap with a more formal one) Hamilton Khaki Field Bronze/Tudor Ranger as my field watch.
My present 3 watch collection: Orient Mako, Seiko 5, Tissot Everytime Swissmatic.
I like the video. I would recommend doing one for used watches in the same price categories.
This is my collection strategy as well. Definitely helps stay restrained 😂 right now I’m at just under $6k with a Grand Seiko SBGW231 as my dress, BB58 as my sports and Casio W800 as my beater. I’d definitely go Casio digital/G-Shock as my beater to leave a ton more money for the other two watches. Awesome video as always!
That's basically a 2 watch collection but calling it a 3 watch collection. i would never wear a casio/g shock having the bb58. Imo the collection should be balanced, every watch should be similar in value and importance, the chain is as strong as its weakest link
@@sanji8142 would you really wear a BB58 rock climbing? Not sure I’d risk dinging the aluminium bezel on mine… Casio may not be expensive but having a beater is still essential
@@george88pizza43 Didn't know you did rock climbing as a hobby. My hobbies are less risky for the watch. If that's your case maybe you could have a 4th watch for an everyday kind of look, when the bb58 is too sporty
@@sanji8142 no you definitely need a cheap Casio/GShock type for the times you are doing more active things and don’t want to break your expensive watches. Even if you don’t wear it that much but only when doing harder things. I have the Casio for work since I work a labor intensive job. No way in hell I’m wearing my luxury watch to my job lol.
@@brett233 I completely understand that but i would still wear a nice inexpensive watch not a casio. There are beautiful sub 200€ watches, seiko 5 or field watches, if you like the lightness of the casio you could opt for a Titanium watch, there are thousands of options more stilish than a Casio.
1. Jaeger LeCoulter Reverso 2. blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe 3. Hamilton khaki Field Titanium Definitely my 20,000 dollar pick's
I have a 5 watch collection so I guess the question is what would I leave out... Dress watch I would stick with my new ck859 (you should do a video on that I think it has an awesome back story) Dive I'd have to stick with my Omega diver 300 My everyday has been my Sinn A104 with the matte finish. Sadly that leaves out my IWC Portugueser and my Zenith Chronosport (the most accurate watch in my collection... It runs for months without loosing or gaining a second!)
I went with something less brand/nationality versatile but complication/occasion/color of dial versatile. 1. Omega Seamaster Diver 300m in blue on the blue rubber strap, the Forstner all brushed contemporary Flatlink bracelet, and just ordered the Omega OEM Stainless Mesh Bracelet. 2. Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope in the silver dial with red accents on the bracelet 3. Just ordered 2 days ago the Longines Spirit Zulu Time Green Bezel Gilt dial on the bracelet and will probably get the Artem black Loopless Sailcloth strap for it. I think that way I cover all occasions and have a chrono, a diver, and a GMT
I'm really tempted with a Longines Spirit Zuu Time. Love what Longines have been quietly doing for the last few years. My first (and currently only) mechanical watch is a 2015 Longines Heritage Chronograph, bought for my by my wife as an engagement gift. Just looking at Omega Seamasters at the moment now I have the budget for one.
@@LotoroE you honestly can’t go wrong with either one. I have been looking at reviews of the spirit Zulu time for the last couple of months as they pop and photos till I could not take it anymore lol. I’d say go try one on first and then shop around for a deal! If you have 7” wrist the bracelet is fine and if not, then the strap is the way. I’ve also been wearing the Seamaster at work every other day for the last four months and it’s been phenomenal man! Best of luck on your hunt 🤙🏾
I'll go with Black Seamaster Diver 300M, Blue Tissot PRX Powermatic and El Primero A386 as 3 watch collections
I liked most of these collections, except the 25k. All solid watches on their own, but they don’t really compliment each other. 3 time-only watches, with very different feels, but I want my every day watch to have a date - don’t care about it on my dress watch (I want to wear that on occasions where I know the date). I think a reverso, Rolex gmt (assuming you can get it retail) and some bronze iwc (if they upped the water resistance) would be my dream 25k collection
Czapek’s Calibre SXH5 has a micro rotor with an 18K recycled gold mass. Very nice watch, and very exelent movment,
My 3 watch collection. Omega Seamaster (white dial) Omega Speedmaster (new sapphire sandwich) Rolex datejust (blue dial) I've got my eye on a 39mm Explorer 1 as my next piece just because I love it!
I have "Two collections" Three watches under $500 1) Orient Kanno 2) Orient Defender 3) Orient Open Heart I love orient watches to death. These watches are amazing for the price. The longer I have them, the less I wear my "real" collection.... Two Watches under $10,000 1) Tank Cartier 2) Sea Master Diver
Preowned is the way to unlock value at the 5k price point. My 3 watch collection is all Seiko: King Turtle green dial for the sports watch, used SBGA201 spring drive champagne dial for the everyday versatile piece, and a vintage 1971 Grand Seiko cap gold 5646-7010 in outstanding condition for the dress number. PS unpopular opinion, dress watches absolutely should be in precious metal, vintage is the move!
Pre owned is the way. Completely agree. Was able to make my three watch collection a 2017 Black Bay 36 black dial, 2016 SMP300 black non wave dial and 2021 Tissot Ballade COSC silver dial.
My 3 dream watches are rolex explorer 36, submariner 40 and the tudor black bay chrono panda. Dream collection.. Since i wont do it now i got the orient bambino, the orient ray and a Gshock!
Hey teddy! Great video as always! Question, can we get a video aimed towards smaller automatics? Sub 35mm. Something for the smallest of wrist and/or women. Wide price range. There dont seem to be a lot of them available. So i feel one good video would do covering a variety of available styles and proce range of $100-$10,000. Thanks again Teddy, fantastic video as always!
just stumbled on your channel.. really great joices all over.. would probabyl go for a blancpain or jlc over the cartier in the 25k bracket.. but you ultimately won chosing an Aquatimer as the unlimited "beater" .. perfect choice really..
I love these watch building series!
Thanks for the info Teddy. Do you think they will make the CasiOak metal case in a solar version?
Wow. Currently a Seiko Solar I picked up for 200 at a pawn shop is my dress watch and a G Shock Rangeman I bought new for around 300 is my sports. An old G Shock is the one I wear at work, I do welding and construction and am amazed its lasted all these yrs .
I have a lot of watches, but if I had to pick just 3 (not including a smart watch) then it would be Rolex Bluesy submariner, Grand Seiko Shunbun, and Hamilton Intramatic in green. That being said, since Submariners are pretty much unobtanium at the moment, If I was starting now, I would probably get a Pelagos in blue, and I believe the Tissot Powermatic chrono could be swapped in for the Hamilton, if it's more your style.
Interesting choice on the Lange as the dress watch. Ignoring the “simplicity” credo common in traditional dress watch definitions, it is a supreme example of a modern dress watch.
Ball Watches are amazing IMO... Fantastic quality.
My 3 watch collection (considering my possibilities) would be: Tudor 1926, Tissot PRX Chronograph y Longines Hydroconquest
Here’s my 3: Rolex Explorer 36 Omega speedy pro hesalite Omega SM white dial on rubber
Dr: Blancpain Villeret GD Sp: Explorer II Polar dial(any year) Btr: Panerai Luminor 42MM blk dial
My ideal three watch collection right now would be: JLC Reverso Duoface Rolex GMT Pepsi on a jubilee bracelet Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer. Not a beater but such a beautiful watch.
My 3 watch collection: Breitling Chronomat the diver chrono hybrid, Rolex DJ 36mm the understatement dresswatch, Cartier Santos the sports and dress allrounder.
Another great clip Teddy, the Longines, SPEEDmaster and Ball suit me well 👏
I currently have a Tudor 1926 (dress) and Longines HydroConquest...just need to decide a 3rd option
Para mim, a coleção perfeita seria: a) Cartier Tank; b) Rolex Submariner; e c) IWC Pilot Chronograph.
