Shopping For Affordable Watches With Teddy Baldassarre 

“People make the assumption that you can’t even get one watch for $12,500.” Come back down to earth with the rest of us here Kevin.

the issue is that teddy knows too much about watches so he doesn’t always go for aesthetics

I'm truly starting to admire Teddy as a watch expert. His knowledge is unbelievable. His comment on Rado being popular in Pakistan was spot on.

Teddy knows infinitely more about watches than Kevin, but you can’t deny that Kevin’s taste and eye for style is just so hard to compete with.

This should be a NETFLIX Series! I could watch you two talk and shop watches...all damn day.

Kevin giving back to all the folks that lost their money in FTX by helping them find affordable watches now that the company he promoted stole all their money.

Kevin's choices were eclectic and elegant. Teddy's were simple yet beautiful. But my vote goes to Kevin. His philosophy of choosing gorgeous dials is spot on.

I'm definetly going to vote for Teddy! Kevin has some good pieces but overall Teddys collection is just that more well rounded👍🏻

Kevin and Teddy have got the best brotherly, pranker-ish rivalry and vibe, cannot get enough just laughing the whole way through!

I am usually pulling for Teddy, but I think Kevin destroyed him on this round. Please keep doing videos like this! It's so great to see that there is a lot to be excited about at these more reasonable price points and great to pay attention to it over some of the crazy pretentious stuff. That Norquain GMT Kevin picked is SPECTACULAR! It looks like something Grand Seiko would do but with a bit of a european flair. The Intramatic Chrono in Teddy's collection was the winner on his side.

5:00 Longines Ultra-Chron $3500 6:26 Longines Legend Diver $2400 7:39 Oris Big Crown Pointer Date $2600 10:00 Oris Okavango $2500 11:13 Hamilton Green Dial Ultramatic Chrono $2195 13:13 Rado Captain Cook $2000 14:30 Summary 15:20 Tissot PRX Powermatic 90 $650 17:10 Norqain GMT $4150 18:40 Baume Mercier Clifton Baumatic $3000 19:22 Mido Multifort Patrimony $1000 20:40 Tissot PRX Quartz $325 24:30 Final Lineup 25:10 Winners

Love these shopping sprees with Teddy & Kevin … it’s also great banter between the two and a great history lesson 🙌

I think Kevin clearly won this round! One fact that he took better risks, but ended up with some unique pieces that we haven't seen before. Norqain is doing incredible things (especially in collaboration with Jean-Claude Biver with the 'Wild One')!

The winner is immaterial...what really matters here is the subtle chemistry between Kevin and Teddy..some of the looks Teddy gives the audience are priceless,and the way Kevin says "maison" and "collecion " makes me laugh until the cows come home. More of this sub genre please!

My vote goes to Teddy! Very close fight but just for me, the more classic looks and he has more variety in the straps.

Kevin has great self awareness with regards to his ability to spend. I always appreciate that he encourages budget friendly collecting habbits.

It was funny when they said they have an affordable budget of 12k, like it's peanuts. And when Kevin said he didn't think he can get even one watch for that amount, even Teddy smiled.

I love these collaborations between Kevin and Teddy, such fantastic quality content and the dynamic/chemistry is so real and engaging between you two. Hope you do many more! Would love a Grand Seiko store episode

Kevin is the master love his selections. Teddy's pieces especially the Tissot stole the show for me.

I usually skip videos which are more than 10 minutes. But this series of you with Teddy just amuse me. Great set of videos. Keep em coming

The chemistry between Kevin and Teddy is off the charts! Whenever Kevin starts talking about how affordable things are, Teddy has these hilarious reactions. And let's not even get started on the way Kevin says 'collection' - it's pure gold!

I’m usually more in-line with Teddy’s mindset when it comes to watches. And Teddy almost got my vote with the Oris Big Crown pointer date, I love that watch. But I have to give this one to Kevin. Probably his biggest win to date for these contests. Love the selections, the dialog between these two, etc.

I recently purchased that same exact Tissot PRX with the leather strap for an amazing discount during Christmas with a promotional code for around £195. The retailer emailed me and said it was an error and the watch was no longer in stock, I could either get a refund or wait 2 weeks for them to have Tissot send me one. I’m soo glad I waited it out, especially after seeing these 2 watch fanatics give such high praise to the watch. Tissot for the win.

i respect how Kevin still passionate in this budget category. he appreciate a beautiful time pieces in this price range, even though he can afford like any super luxury pieces.

An hilarious way to learn about watches. Teddy is so kind, smart and informed about watches, but as usual, my vote is for Kevin.

Kevin wins. Teddy, your collection has great individual pieces, but as a collection, it feels like something is still missing or they don't make a nice complete collection. For Kevin, I would've gone with the new Oris pro pilot salmon dial with the new movement instead of the green dial! Thank you both for another great watch video.

I love the chemistry between these 2 and honestly aside from the "red band everything" I believe me and Kevin have a similar taste in watches lol Kevin definitely got this one. the Longines is sporty yet classy, the Norquain, although I usually don't go for a green face, is stunning, I would put a black leather band on that for sure. The Mido is has such a gorgeous dial point blank, and I love the band. As for the Tissot I prefer a quartz watch because they have actual quartz crystals and in them and I love quartz crystals, also I prefer the blue leather band to the the stainless steel band on Teddys PRX powermatic.

This is really cool to watch. I love Kevin's actual interest and enthusiasm in learning about different brands and history; as well as Teddy's knowledge of these watches. Great content.

Sorry Teddy, but Kevin won this round! Thank you both for these really entertaining videos, hope you guys all have a Merry Christmas!

Finally, I can afford this all off my crypto gains I made through FTX.

Hate to say it but i love Kevin’s selection personally! Great video and always laugh watching you two go at it. Lol

Great choices all around, from Kevin I really love the Longines and the Oris, I think the best watch between both collections is Teddy's Oris Big Crown followed by the Hamilton. What I don't like about Kevin's collection is that they all have a date window, if I'm going to have 5 or 6 watches I'd like at least 2 of them to be no-date. I give Teddy a slight edge overall for having my two favorites, the bronze Oris and the Hamilton chrono. Loving the Longines Ultra-Chron as well, would love to see them make it in a smaller size, maybe a 40x45?

Gentlemen, thank you for another informative and entertaining video! Kevin won this round but Teddy was closer than the previous competition. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,

Gotta love Teddy’s love for the Oris pointer dates. My first and fav watch!

Kevin usually wins these things IMO - I really liked this one because you were browsing a few watches that I look at regularly. The standout piece for Kevin was the Mido multiport, and the standout piece for Teddy was the Oris - but as a collection, Teddy finally wins one. I'm actually debating between the Mido and the Tissot PRX currently, so this was right on time.

One great thing about captain cook is the variety of titanium strap options they provide. PLUS, almost every major country has its own watch of two, usually a celebrity edition, so it’s always possible to pick that thing up in a unique form during travel.

Props to Kevin being frugal taking good risks to get that 6th watch but have to go with Teddy what a diverse collection!

I have waited for the next collab vid for ages! Great video as always

A watch collection wouldn’t be completed without a Casio..

Teddy is a pro at budget watches whereas Kevin is a pro at extreme high value luxury watches

Kevin won the second he picked that 36mm red Longine Legend Diver. Pure class

Most of us do make the assumption we could get at least one watch for $12,500

I'm really learning a lot from Teddy, but I have to begrudgingly go with Kevin's haul. Not a bad watch in either collection. I really want to get a PRX sometime soon. Given that the quartz is right around $300 (less than half the price of the automatic), that's one that's really hard to pass up. That $400-500 discount over the automatic will pay for a lot of batteries.

Fascinating. Enlightening. Inspiring. Never thought I could collect so many nice, stunning quality watches for so little money. Kevin and Teddy, you are showcasing great watches. I am headed to the store tomorrow. Great show, keep it up! Ps. Production note: You could use a little fill lighting when you display your final choices in the wide shot. Pretty dark at the final counter.

He's probably pissed he wasn't able to use the stolen 15 mil from FTX to buy these watches.

Picking up a gift for BFF SBF aren´t you O´leary.

I actually prefer Kevins collection. I'd choose different colors for the longines and the oris though and maybe switch the norqain with a seiko alpinist and the quartz prx with an automatic one. That would be such a sick collection imo. Really like the Rado and the Mido watch. Never seen them before but they are beautiful.

Truly love this segment for the everyday person, shows you can get passionate on watches on a great value budget

I’m always rooting for Teddy, and majority of the time, it’s very close. However. I think Mr. Wonderful took this convincingly. Having one piece more than Teddy aside, all of his choices were superb. All the props to Teddy for helping add the quartz PRX. That was the icing on the cake for sure. One of the best challenges to date and I can’t wait for the next!

The challenge would have been interesting to have a budget of only 5k dollars for 4-5 watches

Really love watching these two gentlemen going about what I love,thank you

I’ve just started off down this watch rabbit hole. Of these two collections, Kevins appeal to me the most. I’m not entirely a fan of bands that arent bracelet style, but i adore that Norqain and would buy that exact watch if it came in a non-GMT option. The Oris is also divine, i would prefer it with a bracelet band tho. Even the Mido is 😍

Kevin killed it on this round. Keep them coming and happy holidays!

Love these collabs! So funny and insightful 😂

i loved them all, i am now 28 watches in with your opinion and expertise pushing me onwards this really is a fun way to spend money that otherwise could be wasted. You two are brilliant together love your videos. (for me Teddy you won mate)

This was Kevin's best performance in one of these in my opinion, ironically enough given his penchant for lavish pieces.

Be nice to Kevin, it was Binance's fault FTX committed fraud on a massive level... 🤣

these videos are great because of the back & forth jabs between these 2 BUT also the fact that Mr. Wonderful, a man who can buy any watch he wants, is able to be impressed by and appreciate these more affordable pieces. Many people cannot responsibly buy expensive watches so many of us are either stuck with or choose to stay in lower price tiers which is still great because as the video shows, you can get many pieces for the price of one. you can get MANY incredible pieces with a budget. i still think the value proposition is unbeatable in under $1000. If you're a true watch enthusiasts like Kevin is, you appreciate watches at all price points. i would love to see Kevin and Teddy do a video specifically on Casio watches, you'd be surprised what they can do, especially in the Oceanus/Lineage line ups. great vid!

I sold my Daytona after losing everything from the FTX debacle, so here I am to get guidance on cheaper watches. My Casio 168 is thankfully still working.

I'm voting for Kevin once again. Of course Teddy knows all about the collection, but Kevin definitely has a sense of style

It’s always great to watch you guys collaborate and get some amazing timepieces.

Absolutely, enjoyed the dynamic of both of you guys working together to promote excellent price point timepieces. The Longines did it for me. Their history offers top-tier elegance and, most importantly, availability. Thank you ⌚️

Love these videos! Id say its clear by now that Kevin goes fashion/aesthetics and Teddy goes highest quality to the price point. Both have excellent taste, but Teddy's choices reflect a more solid watch collection with superior movement and design language choices.

Kevin made great choices, and with Teddy's great storytelling.

Was hoping Kevin was gonna touch on ftx, that’s all he’s good for at this point since his investment opinion is so tarnished now

i love watching kevin and teddy talk about watches

I had to save this video. A couple of the watches have been on my wish list and thanks to this video, there's a couple more I want to add! I love these shopping videos with you and Teddy!

Kevin & Teddy, the best combo since PB&J.

Love this, what a Christmas present. You two are great together. 🎄🎅

Kevin won this, plus he has 6 watches and Teddy got 5. Beautiful timepieces, I really like the Mido watch that Kevin chose. I believe there's allot more variety in the affordable ranges and you buy more watches. Keep up the good work guys.

affordable watches is what i need after my money lost in FTX, thanks Kevnin !!

Love you guys together. Teddy. You have some great pieces. But Mr Wonderful has added it again lol. The prx with the quartz on the strap is a steal

Keep these collab coming! They are GREAT

It's amusing, that the Tissot is added almost as an afterthought -- I loved the dial so much, I had to buy my own. Wonderful watch, wonderful video.

Man I love these videos…….I’m giving Kevin the trophy today.

24:20 - I felt that too Teddy : ' ) Absolutely love this series. Perfect combo of personalities

The Mido kinda did it for me... what a beautiful watch and for the Price, you can't beat that one 😍 looks exactly like my next watch 🙂

I'm going with Teddy's collection - he chose a wide range of watches from sports to elegant to everyday.

Nah, Teddy you got hammered this time! Kevin's selections were top notch.

This is a win for Teddy! Great retro Longines, über cool bronze Oris, unbeatable Hamilton chronograph, proper PRX and a very much underrated B+M. Congrats Teddy.

These two together are a winning team. Knowledge vs style. Great video

I’d take Kevin’s collection in a heartbeat - everything super stylish and fun

My vote goes to teddy! His selection of watches clearly shows his vast knowledge about timepieces. He may not have chosen the watches with the best dials, but his choices exemplify what is truly essential in watch collecting. 😊

From Kevin's collection, I love the Oris and like the Longines and the Rado. From Teddy's, I like all of the pieces chosen. Love the Ultrachron, Baume, Big Crown, the PRX is already a living legend and the Hamilton is so cool that I like it even though I do not collect complicated watches anymore. A clear win for Teddy this time.

I must admit, Kevin has exceptional taste. Looking at his collection overall, everything fits so well together, there’s a great variety of colours and textures, without ever looking too alien. Love it

Kevin is a watch consumer Teddy is a watch professor

I'm afraid to say... But this time Kevin did so well.. hands down to that collection! Made me discover a couple of gems I didn't know. Love you guys you both rock

How many watches did ftx give you?

I think Teddy finally won here. He had a better variety of dials and bracelets which I’m big on. Kevin should have picked a stainless steel - if he picked a BB58 instead of the Norqain, he’d have my vote!

Kevin you kicked ass again Teddy talks the talk but you kev walk the walk 😂❤ love it

After FTX fell, Kevin can only get cheaper watches

After SBF FTX scam wiped everyone out can we see the $10 watch selection please

How these two guys play off eachother is GOLD. Teddy just grins and takes the abuse, while he amazes us with his plethora of watch knowledge

@0:52 that white face watch on the right is drop dead gorgeous. I love the black & gold one on the next row in the middle as well. I’d buy the white one in a heartbeat.

24:15 Teddy’s reaction is just priceless

Shop Watches With FTX Loot Money.

Aesthetic-wise Kevin, mechanic-wise Teddy, overall Kevin's selection is much beautiful for my taste.

Kevin's evil businessman humor is hilarious

what I should do with all my FTX earnings?

As a Pakistani watch enthusiast... I can confirm that point about Rado is 100% correct. It's like the Rolex of the country 😂Was eagerly waiting for another video from you two. Great episode as always!
