    I bought a Seiko Prospex Turtle - Save The Ocean Manta Ray edition because I absolutely fell in love with the dial. It's a beautiful gradient blue that darkens as you move away from the centre featuring subtle manta ray shapes. The dial is also textured to give the give the appearance of waves and the texture is very reminiscent of an oil painting. It gives the impression of being in the depths looking up to see manta rays silhouetted against the ocean surface.
    Also, the dials are slightly different between the version that comes on the rubber strap vs the bracelet version. The strap version features three manta rays, while the bracelet version has four manta rays.

    • @Neneset

    I was passing a watch store in a shopping mall the other day and was surprised to see they had a Seiko stand in the window with some Presage models on display - it’s the first time I’d seen them in real life. I’ve got to say I was absolutely blown away by how good they look in real life.
    Also more to my surprise, the piece which most caught my eye was the Zen Garden model featuring the white dial with the vertical herringbone stripes. Absolutely stunning up close and I couldn’t believe just how good an around £500 watch could look.

Especially of you included some of your awesome interview and lifestyle videos where you showcase collections from prominent figures like Kevin O'Leary. For me personally I have a serious fine jewelry collection, which plays a significant role in which watch I chose to wear on any given occasion.

    I’m new to collecting watches , I bought seiko presage blue dial and waiting for it to arrive. I’m excited to see it in person.

    Glad to see Tissot represented. Good choice, although I prefer the Le Locle (Silver). I am a huge fan of the Junghans Max Bill (Anthracite is my favorite version). And that Oris pointer date is gorgeous.

      I have the rose gold Le locle with black textured dial. It is a beautiful watch and looks much more expensive than it is. I wonder why no one mentions the Tissot le locle watches. They are great

    Those textured Seiko dials are just amazing!! The new colours available for the Tissot Gentlemen with the sector lines (especially in green) looks so much nicer than the blue! I learned so much about watches over lockdown because of you, so thank you!! Such a great video Teddy!!!

    I quite like the Oris Okawango Special edition. Maybe not the most beautiful but certainly very special
