Thank you for this! Having been into watches for several years, my collection was once worth $10,000 and now it’s worth under $1,000. You really don’t need to spend a lot for a great watch.

@IntothewestOkotoks Год назад

You have some great videos I’ve been watching for a couple years now. Please don’t assume because someone only wants to spend $1000 one is only getting into watches though…I’ve been fascinated with watches since I was a kid in the 70s, and while I don’t have the budget of Mr Wonderful, I enjoy a great value…your videos actually prompted me to purchase my first (non-smart) watch in over 10 years, and a brand I paid no attention to, the Citizen Fugu with green dial. I’ve been wearing it for the past month, and am extremely happy with this under $500US watch. Most of my other watches are Tissot (which, I also think can’t be beat for bang for the buck), and I think this Citizen might even be a better deal. Thanks for all your videos, I’ve definitely learned a lot watching them!!

@Tomsgate101 Год назад

If I had to start over again with 1000$, my first pick would be a Glycine Airman GMT: brilliant movement, etched in watch history and looking gorgeous along with a casual or dressed up outfit. Wait for a good promo and grab one, then spend the rest on a Citizen Promaster automatic diver's 200 titanium. Bought that one to be my beater watch but love it so much I wear it almost daily. Light, tough, beautiful... titanium for 300$. Regulated it, now runs at +-2sec/day. Same for the Glycine. For

@LucificNight Год назад

Honestly, these videos showcase a pretty good mentality for a beginner to think about watches: Know your budget, and then think about what purpose each piece in your collection serves. As someone who works in an office, I'd follow the "Maximizer" route: A beater like the Duro or a G-Shock, then go for something nice with the remainder of the budget.

@HFV_Junkyardin Год назад

I guess I'm that Seiko nut. 5 of my 10 watches are Seiko. My SSK005, and SPRE43 are a pretty great "under 1000 dollar" Collection on their own. Altho If i didn't already have a black dial driver, I would have gotten the back GMT. I paid about 700 for them together, that leaves 300 for my Wired (a Seiko JDM brand) Solidity AGAM701. Any I'd says you'd have a really well rounded collection. ANd you've still got 100 bucks for some spare straps, which will fit all 3 of them!

@skiparsenal 11 месяцев назад

A maximizer/sci fi movie nerd duo: A Hamilton Khaki Murph + a Casio CA53w calculator watch. You get a nice dressy GADA watch with the Murph, and a quirky casual beater with the calculator watch, and they're both tied to sci fi movies.

@Dab3stxblasassassin Год назад

Citizen Promaster Diver Orca! Underrated watch, so glad to see it! 200M WR, rotating bezel, eco drive, screw down crown, cool dial design, AND stunning lume on it as well. The orca’s spots (indices) and both the hour and min hands all illuminate. Only miss is it’s a mineral crystal and not sapphire, but all in all it’s a stellar watch, and I’m happy it’s my go to beater.

Hi Teddy, how come you almost never feature the Marathon GP/officer mechanical in these lists. I ordered one from you about two years ago (it just needed strap swap out e.g. neo-vintage Haveston Canvas Series M-1944C Watch Strap and its a knock out). In Feb I walked 5th Ave and stopping in the Grand Seiko store, even the clerk there admired it saying it was neatest pieces he'd ever seen.

@kevinskoien6165 Год назад

If I went microbrand only, then I would go with the Brew Metric and the Astor & banks Fortitude with the blue dial. My personal choice would be the Astor & Banks coupled with the Seiko PRX.

Does anyone own a Baltic? What do you think? I've seen reviews saying that they felt cheap and flimsy in comparison to Seikos and Tissots in that same price bracket

@ajmarion Год назад

I have one, and I do really like it.. It’s a very small and light watch, so I could see how someone would say that. But IMO, It doesn’t feel cheap, I would say more so it feels “vintage”. The movement, dial and hands are stunning, overall finishing is really good. The movement looks great, but the crown action has been a little finicky, which is my only gripe with the watch.

@Greysnowman Год назад

I have handled several Baltic watches, and I own one myself, although not the particular model that was featured in the videos. They don’t feel cheap, the cases are pretty well finished and the dials look substantially more expensive than their price tag.

@giusepperocchi2979 Год назад

My MR01 is a little gem. Light, well finished and accurate. The movement gets a lot of bashing, mainly for being chinese, but mine runs just fine. For the price it's a no brainer.

I think a better fight is the f77 vs the CW 12. Integrated stainless steel, very similar design, almost same movements and prices. I think CW may have relegated the f77 to only the buyers looking for historical brands.

@alecjarnagin9041 Год назад

@@KC-bv9kf Just became aware of the CW 12 today while listening to the latest "The Grey NATO" Podcast. Would be good to see that comparison as well. As for "I think CW may have relegated the f77 to only the buyers looking for historical brands" I guess I'd be in that category. Don't own any CW and while they look nice, I have a watch problem already. Would rather expand to another Nivada Grenchen as they have history and I just love them, but that's me.

@JosephsCoat Год назад

I think $750-$1500 is a bit of a sweet spot in the watch world. It’s all diminishing marginal returns after that, and I say that as an owner of pieces that greatly exceed that price point. I think someone could do an excellent 2-watch collection for $2,000 without sacrificing a thing.

It was good to see so many choices that weren't dive-style. I bought one of the first batch of Sternglas Naos automatics and still like it but the white dial and very narrow bezel make it look huge IMO, even though it's 38mm.

@raphaelsantana1114 Год назад

I'd like to get a word in for Vostok as well in terms of attainability. They have some funky designs and are generally very diver oriented, but they also have some more reserved options as well and are basically impossible to beat for the money. For under 100 bucks at times you get an automatic movement and 200m of water resistance. Case sizes and designs are equally varied and should harbour something for every size and taste. As for the precision, specs say minus 20 to plus 60, but my two amphibias run at plus 15 and the other one at around +8 seconds a day, which I think is exceptional for the money. So if you want something robust, attainable and mechanical, you only need to spend double of the Casio Duro's price and you get exactly that.

@raphaelsantana1114 Год назад

@@wonderwatch2239 yeah I understand... I just like their watches too much not to and if I may play devil's advocate a bit, I don't think a purchase or two on meranom will substantially finance the Russian war effort.
