Can we all take a minute to appreciate the amazing quality of Teddy’s B-roll of all different kinds of watches? That’s what I call an eye for detail and makes half the video 👌 Well done Teddy!

@NOXStellans 10 месяцев назад

'Was assuming they are using manufacturer-supplied press video here? - At car-related blogs, there is usually a good sprinkling of photos and videos from the manufacturer's press releases (There is often a link on the manufacturer's website of media for bloggers and reporters to get free stuff to use.)

What I do appreciate a lot is the large variety he includes, anything from Bulova to F.P. Journe. I think that's a sign that Teddy isn't just in for the money, that's genuine passion for the products in all price ranges.

These are the most interesting videos you make, where you aren’t just talking about a specific watch, but rather discussing the market/hobby as a whole. The availability of information for the consumer from all the great watch content creators is amazing because it allows us (the consumers) to make more informed purchasing decisions. As far as things becoming too corporate/polished/professional, yes it can be a bit dry sometimes, but there are still plenty of people who make videos just because they love the hobby. And there is room for all of us to make the content we want. Thanks for all you do Teddy.

@RichardKoppinger 10 месяцев назад

A huge change is the awareness and extent of watch collecting as a hobby. Four years ago, I had no idea people had watch collections. The first time I saw a watch box, I laughed at the sight of the dividers and the little pillows for each wristwatch. Now... let's just say I have more than one watch box. Thanks for another great video.

I understand the brand recognition, but from a pure watchmaking perspective, it’s very hard to definitively say that Rolex is creating pieces that are objectively superior to brands like Oris, Longines, Grand Seiko and Breitling at 3 to 5 times the price markup. Plenty of brands have more legacy, better accuracy, better materials, better build and better customer service.

@italianstallion3130 10 месяцев назад

So I’m on the list for a GMT II. And I often wonder if, when years from now, they call me to say I can have it- I just cuss them out with pleasure or if I go get it. I really struggle over this and the I comfort myself with the reality that they probably will never actually call.

@garyh.2487 10 месяцев назад

Another negative is that, on RU-vid and web sites, the gorgeous closeup shots of watches recorded at perfect angles and light make the watch look one foot in size, clearly showing all tiny details, which makes the watch look better than actually seeing it in person. I've been disappointed in watches I've bought online when it didn't look as good seeing it with my naked eye, and also It's hard to see the tiny details and thus harder to appreciate. I actually have to watch RU-vid videos about the watch I bought to find the fine details I missed holding the watch in my hand.

@GussyFlight 10 месяцев назад

@jpdemer5 10 месяцев назад

"Market share" is usually calculated based on dollar value, so it's no surprise that Rolex dominates when that's your measure. I'd be interested to see it calculated based on unit sales (actual number of watches) - we'd have a very different picture of the industry, and a better handle on what's popular, when a single Patek doesn't equal a thousand Timex.

One brand that really got better in recent times is Bulova. They got back on track releasing new versions of historical classics (Accutron II, Lunar Pilot, etc.) after decades of being in the "fashion watch" market. They even created a new in-house ultra high frequency quartz movement that provides the outstanding smooth second hand and astonishing high accuracy.

So, I decided on Grand Seiko and haven’t looked back. Heck, I even flew to Tokyo to buy the watch and take a long overdue trip back to Japan. Yea airline miles! The negativity of the Watch world pushed me out of collecting entirely. Social Media has single-handedly ruined so many things I used to be interested in. Social Medial is truly a blight on society.

The breadth of that selection was superb. You certainly put your money where your mouth is regarding the wider array of brands. That pink Excelsior Park was gorgeous. :) While I agreed with most of the points, the availability question only is a thing for very particular brands and niches of the market. Most of the stuff I find myself being interested in can be found a hoc. In fact, mostly at a discount. And given the fact that I could have made a Rolex Submariner appear on my doorstep by courier within four days, at any point in the last five years, I would say that some of the perceived scarcity has been, well, faked or manufactured.

The consumer-brand communication point is truly a boon to watch enthusiasts, and thank you for clarifying that it's not 400 RU-vid comments that tell brands what to focus on. It's wallets, and ten million cries for sub-40mm options from big brands wouldn't have made a dent at those companies if consumers hadn't also started spending a TON of cash on 38mm designs from microbrands over the past four years,

@stanislas4990 10 месяцев назад

Very interesting video. The most annoying thing : if you want to buy a specific model, and you don't know when it will be available. May be you are on a waiting list, maybe the AD will be kind, and may be he will never call you (or it will take many months or years). Many people see watches as an investment, but 90% or 95% of watches don't keep their value. Buy them if you love them, but don't buy them to earn some money if you are selling them at some point.

@Mr_Paw_revised 5 месяцев назад

I like how watchmaking entered next level of technical advancement. Materials such as titanium, carbon fiber, ceramics are much more common. Movement innovations resulting in bigger power reserves, antimagnetic properties and better durability are resulting in better watches. We have watches that are using GPS satellites, are connecting to smartphones, show depth or altitude. We have new movement types such as Seiko Spring Drive, solar or high frequency quartz. Watchmaking evolved greatly and it is the main aspect that pulls me into this hobby. There is more great watches than it ever was throughout the history. I think there is around 20 watches I want at the moment. I’m talking about watches I can afford. Unfortunately not all of them at once 😅.

@Lebon996 10 месяцев назад

My humble opinion of the watch industry is very positive. Most reputable brands have mechanical movements these days that will literally last decades with just a service. Lasting through thick and thin on your wrist with bangs, scuffs, water etc. Build quality has certainly come upwards. Most car brands, televisions, computers, phones etc are made to fail after time and be chucked away or scraped.

so during the past few years, I had definitely explored many other brands outside Rolex and actually bought many watches outside Rolex including few more omegas and zeniths. I don't care how much percentage Rolex is taking up in the industry. they can't play this game forever. as Teddy mentioned in the video the situation where normal people are unable to obtain what they want because of all these flippers and investors (which simply isn't a good thing for watch enthusiasts) is turning people away and Rolex will one day lose its customers. I have spent MORE money in other brands, than what I spent on a Rolex submariner back in 2017. and hey, Rolex could have earned all these money from me that I spent somewhere else. yeah I’m not the VVVIP and I won't call myself rich, but I’m trying to express logics here.

@raymond7880 10 месяцев назад

Vintage Rolex Date Justs are great. There is no 'fashion', 'showing off' element associated with them (any more) as with current Rolex models. But when they were new there was! Even in the '80s and '90s. What has changed in the last three years is the Rolex hype. But Rolex buyers have always included non-enthusiasts who were always going to buy just ONE luxury watch ever. And in such a case it had better be what publicity has convinced them is the most reliable and robust brand - at any price. With an inelastic demand curve (created at the cost of millions of dollars) Rolex can charge anything they want, especially if you drop a diamond or two on the dial. Hence why innovation is not a priority at Rolex. One time buyers don't buy PP or FPJourne or Glasshute or MB&F. Or Longines or Zodiac.

Rolex is a marketing company first and a watchmaker second. They are the Starbucks of Swiss mechanical watches. Slightly disagree the movements are better.

A $1000+ Hamilton shouldn’t have the same choppy seconds hand movement as a < $200 Orient Mako.

Sinn is great. Sucks they're going up and up in price, they used to be one of the better values at that price. I wear a U1 all the time, I love it, the definition of "tool watch" in my opinion. Like I could probably use it as a hammer if I needed to lol

Can you and Jeffrey McMahon go watch shopping. That would be a fun conversation to watch?.?.

It is Royal Oak, Rolex, and Nautilus. That's it. So much so that to me personally it has created an aversion to these and the people that hype these. Sad but true.
