I love how Teddy steps in every now and then to say "these are not cheap, they are aspirational pieces for people out there" just so we don't get bummed out by Kevin treating a $2000 watch like a dollar tree one
TBF this is the idiot that once said a Grand Seiko is the best watch you can get for under 2k.... Guy is delusional, and has no knowledge of real everyday people with tiny incomes in comparison to them. Also doesn't seem to have much knowledge on a lot of stuff he's seen talking about, such as watches.
Honestly appreciate Kevin just coming out and forbidding anyone from buying the hyped pieces in secondary markets. Some people really needed to hear that.
I feel like Kevin has been exiting who he used to be at Shark Tank back in the day. Ever since he realized he had an audience in the younger demographics, he had started learning about how life is for ordinary people (and I bet that helps with refining his investment philosophy as well). Recently I've found that even though he remains wealthy, his ideologies are getting closer and closer to the ground by the day.
It is not so much that they are hyped. People just like them as watches and want them. The demand has grown but the manufacturers capacity has not and they are unwilling to make a big increase in capacity in the short term as they want to ride it out.
@@bighands69 I'd argue this is not the case. Brands like Rolex have learned well form other prestige brands like Ferrari at how you can artificially limit supply to drive up demand and profitability. Most retailers are complaining about not being able to get inventory, that isn't because capacity is stretched thin... its because they can't get watches to sell in the first place.
I also love that he doesn't brush of cheaper options in a previous video he even said a watch that cost a little over one thousand USD said looked nicer then some watches that cost more than a hundred thousand dollars
@@chexcollects unless he told you that directly it's not hard to believe he genuinely appreciates a good looking watch. The man wears Grand Seiko he knows and enjoys a good looking and well built timepiece. Of course he'll go with the more expensive watches but who wouldn't if they could?
@@chexcollects Cheap junk is all the stuff that didn't make the cut. You think Teddy would bring cheap junk to Kevin? You think Kevin would hesitate to call him out on it?
This video adds so much value to aspiring watch collectors like myself. “The watch market has left many people behind” I’d probably the best line in the video. Thank you Kevin for recognizing that as it inherently makes many of us feel “less than” when even thinking about collecting watches. XOXO

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on amzwatch 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
These videos with Kevin have become far and away my favorite watch videos by a mile. When I see them pop up I get giddy.

That Bulova deserves so much more love than it gets. Sure it's a high frequency quartz, and sure Bulova isn't what it used to be, but that watch was literally there on the moon right next to the Omega. It came to the rescue when the Omega failed! It doesn't get better than that for heritage!
@@ekimandersom4478well it's not like every Omega is the one that went to space either. They're all a re-issue/homage in reality, unless you manage to get one the made same year as the one the astronauts wore.

Affordable? Hehe.. After owning a GMT and OP for almost 10 years I wanted to get myself a Hulk for my 60th birthday, about 2 weeks later I came across a page about high end clones and decided to give it a try. Once came I compared it to my original GMT (in terms of quality, feeling of the steel etc), I understood one thing, China can't be beaten. There is no chance ANYONE will be able to spot it as a fake, Even the inside movement is identical. The build quality and finish put a lot of legitimate Swiss brands to shame.
Hamilton and Longines are honestly indisputable value kings in their sub 1000 to about 3000 dollar price range. Both of them established themselves in there so comfortably. Both have incredible offerings, both do have their own personality. It's so good to see.
Best time to invest? thats funny though because in the last four months I have lost more than $47,900 in stock market which is the biggest I have loss since I ventured into stock investment.
you could be right or wrong depends on your expertise, I once made such loss when i invested thinking i have gathered enough trading skills from youtube videos
now its a different ball game for me because I was lucky to have met TERESA JENSEN WHITE, a financial manager and stock expert, I have made more than $165,000 in 6 weeks under her supervisions.
Really? people are cashing in from the stock market and frankly speaking its comforting seeing someone admit to the fact that they actually seek help from professionals. please how can i reach TERESA ?
I like the fact that they are showing there are great alternatives to expensive watches (though $2000 is expensive to me) that many can acquire. It’s about the affinity for the watch and the craftsmanship, not about how much can you spend. For some as rich as Kevin to I think recognize that people want to collect watches or have nice pieces but at a real price point.
Kevin and Teddy I swear are my faves for watches, one day I want to get into those $10k+ impossible watches, but watching these vids seriously makes you collect based of value and volume almost having a collection worth as much as 1 watch. Imagine that sheesh
the more and more I listen to Mr. O'leary the more I respect him. I wonder what he would say about Invictas...? Yes I know, I said invicta.. i own about 15 and love em. I am now looking to make a move on my first Breitling.. But Kevin is awesome...
Was curious what the affordable alternative to an F. P. Journe would be. Also felt the Tissot PRX would've been a better alternative to the Royal Oak is it has its own characteristics and is less homage and more affordable than the Lacroix. All in all, great video. You two have real chemistry.
I got it about 6 months ago and I should say that PRX is the best watch money can buy, no doubt about it. I'm just waiting for the release of the gorgeous panda dial PRX Chronograph.
By far my favorite on shark tank. Kevin always tells it like it is. I really liked the relaxed atmosphere of the two of them just chatting about watches. The knowledge that these two have is incredible.
Kevin O’Leary has this tendency to cut the other people off in the middle of a conversation, which is very annoying. Let Teddy finish his sentences please.
When it comes to the world of investing,most people don't know where to start. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy both yours and Teddys perspective on watches. I think it would be great to have Mr Wondeful compare and identify the higher cost knock offs to his real collection!
Longines are SERIOUSLY underpriced and it's a very cool brand with heritage and history. I am amazed the Swatch Group do not hold back production and make these again THE desirable watch as they once were. I am a huge Longines fan.
When I went to the Italian island of Capri, I bought a watch (from a shop called Capri) for 299 euros and I love it. People often tell me it looks like a watch that would cost over 1000 dollars. Capri isn’t a very well known luxury watch brand so I guess people assume I’m rich and have a very expensive watch
A better affordable Submariner alternative than the Oris is the Tudor Black Bay 58. I have both a BB58 and a pre-ceramic Sub, and they wear very similar on the wrist.
I got the Tissot Seastar 2000 for 1000$, ceramic dial, sapphire glass, 600m ISO certified and 80h power reserve. The design is also extremely close to the Submarines, with a nice touch that you can get a subtle green or blue shade in the dial which looks dope. I feel like this is the best value alternative.
These vids are fascinating. His price expectations are so coloured by high luxury pieces he constantly overestimates the price of great, well made affordable pieces by huge margins, and hes so surprised when you tell him what they cost 😁👍. I know you dont sell them, but I'd love to see his reaction to a San Martin.
For anyone looking for a solid alternative to an AP watch, I highly recommend checking out D1 Milano. I’m not selling it, just speaking from experience-I bought mine a year ago and still love everything about it. Sure, it doesn’t have luminated arrows for easy reading in the dark, but honestly, it’s more of a beautiful man accessory to wear than a tool to check the time! It’s an Italian brand that feels as luxurious as it looks, and at around $700, it’s a steal compared to AP prices. Definitely worth a look!
Great video & loved the affordable selections. If Bulova put out a slightly smaller moonwatch, say 40 to 42 mm, those would fly off the shelves. They could do like the military does & call it "Moonwatch Block II".
Never saw this guy before but I agree with all of this! Instant subscribe! I will say v neck undershirts are very useful to wear an undershirt without seeing it under a button down
When a $2,000 watch is considered an affordable alternative to a luxury watch, I know I've stumbled upon the wrong video for me lol The most expensive watch I have was around $600, but most in my collection are more in the $200 range, and I'm very happy with them lol
What are you talking about? $2k isn't luxury but it's something every middle class person could buy if they really wanted to... So it is in fact an affordable alternative
@user-tx4wj7qk4t Oh here we go with the comment commando crap. I don't recall asking for your opinion. Like I said, I'm perfectly happy with my watches, so go bother someone else with your pompous bs.
Just found this channel and love it. I've been collecting watches since the mid 70's. Having grown up in other countries i was able to get stuff that wasn't available in North America. Maybe one day they would feature some of my collection.
Great video as always, but you don't need to get a watch that seems like another, there are plenty of choices with their own character, very unique and more or less affordable, like Rado Captain Cook, the Victorinox INOX or the Hamilton Khaki. From this list I recommend the Bulova Lunar Pilot, a true Apolo heir that even replace Scott's broken Omega up there, on the moon.
Alternative No.1 for the Daytona is still the Zenith chronomaster sport of course! And No. 2 Tudor Black Bay chronograph For the AP royal OAK No.1 alternative girard-perregaux Laureato
the Christopher Ward c60 or the Oris Aquis should've been the Sub alternative. and the Formex Essence is an outstanding option for the RO or Nautilus alternative
@@meandab and @Fmart Mart there is no need to argue. I have researched for both watches (I'm a dress watch guy, so to say that I "researched" for a dive watch means a lot) and let me just say to be fair, the CW Trident series look better on the dial, looking sick with the minute markers and the trident hand, but the Oris offers better selection of colors, also has slightly superior heritage. In another words if you want the sub to be white or black, you might want to go CW, but if you want blue, green, red (the one I researched for specifically was Oris Cherry), Oris' play with color is top 5 in my books, only behind brands more prestigious than it such as H Moser.
@@harrislam Oris has vastly superior heritage to CW. CW was founded in 2004 and it could be argued they don't even have any meaningful watch heritage at all.
@@SCTitan06 I do consider CW having zero heritage, but I only consider Oris having a little bit. When was the last time ppl discuss about which watch to buy and someone brings up "but Oris has great history as a brand'? That happens to something like Hamilton. Not Oris.
@@harrislam then you need to expand who you talk to. Oris was founded in 1904, even before Rolex. That's 118 years of great brand history and heritage. Period.
Why you gotta go & take of that gorgeous integrated bracelet of that AP Kev... You probably got Genta turning in his grave. But that's still way better than drilling it & putting some aftermarket diamonds on it
As a watch enthusiast with NO budget, thank you AMZWATCH for great-looking mechanical watches that I can afford! their are very clean, classy look, $150 each. I still watch videos about expensive “proper” watches, but I enjoy what I have
In the past, we were able to save up and get our semi-grail watches, but now with the hype pieces going to the stratosphere, these alternatives offer a great value. I hope that the prices go down to earth a bit, but I don't see them going back to MSRP ever.
Days like this i think Kevin ought to be Canadas PM... too bad he's too kind and smart and just knows better. Canada is lost and may never be found again. Great vid, subbed, what a terrific genuine back and forth. Look forward to building my watch collection someday. 😊
Wonderful pieces. I just don‘t think that the Oris is the best choice, though, I‘d rather go for a Tudor. The Hamilton has a killer dial. And the Montblanc/Minerva at the end was a surprise as well, very interesting dial and case back.
If your suggesting a black bay 58, they are now also hard to find and expensive. I think Oris is a good choice. Really bang for your buck choice. In house movement, good dial, independent.
@@anbsmxms8 You may be right. Personally, I‘d go for Omega Seamaster - but that‘s a personal preference. Hamilton offers great watches for the price - I don‘t own one (yet), an Montblanc has very nice dials, especially for business / dress watches.
Great video, Most times it amaze me greatly the way I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities are bound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.

@@garnier3295 Yes i do, I've known him for couple of years , I'm still using his services , His management team is quite impressive so far.... with my $15,000 deposit, I made over $288,000 US Dollars profit with just 10% charge.
There are so many brands that offer value, but Longines has the history and cachet behind it. Hamilton also has that history and their designs are recognizable. I am glad you mentioned them because for those with middle-class wages and children to feed and educate, who hope for a comfortable retirement, these are the top two of several companies that allow us to wear and even collect high quality watches that are artfully engineered. The watch industry is starting to price itself out. Smart watches are causing another "quartz" dilemma and the mechanical watch industry may be targeting only one side of the income divide.
I talked with a fellow artist on affordable alternatives for centigraphe watches ... when he replied with:"Well. Let's start with F.P. Journe". Then I knew Teddy for sure, will have a very very tough time with this challenge. Staying optimistic, wishing you luck and succes with this nice challenge .-.
sure, and an alternative to being a billionaire is being a millionaire? this is becoming silly now. the idea of a luxury is that it's not available to the vast majority of people. so, affordable is never an alternative to luxury by definition. once it's affordable, it's not luxury.
Yes, I have bought from MAMACOO more than once. I even bought a new Omega Speedmaster which came with the fancy box and packaging. I am thrilled with all my purchases here. I would purchase from MAMACOO again for sure.
It would have been nice to see some really shameless homages thrown into the mix here. Teddy is just too proud to do it 😂. Something that immediately comes to mind is the Steinhart Ocean One as an alternative for the Submariner. It’s a high quality piece that you would have to look at from 3 feet or less to tell that it isn’t a sub. The Seiko “Seitona” could have been a better affordable alternative for the Daytona as well. For the Nautilus, could have gone for a Formex perhaps or something else with a more similar case shape to the Nautilus. Or a Ball, with their engineer bracelet. The Tissot Ballade and the Aikon were spot on. 👌 Those probably would be my choices for the datejust and AP as well. Overall, loved the collab, as always! Kevin - you and Teddy have both really inspired me to get into collecting as a hobby and loving watches. Still some of my favorite videos on UA-cam when you guys get together. I need a bottle of O’Leary fine wine next time I’m showing someone my watch box.
Or even not so nice homages. I bought a Reginald Submariner homage for about $43, that A) keeps better time than my real Submariner, B) has a crystal that doesn't scratch like my Submariner does, and c) that I don't panic when I can't find it and temporarily misplace it. It's shower waterproof and that's probably about it, but I just take it off when I'm going diving and put my Casio dive watch on.
@@ralphholiman7401 Exactly! I own a few Pagani Design homages for around $100-$140. Automatic, stainless steel, ceramic bezel, 100M water resistance. I understand that that level of homage is basically the antithesis of what Teddy promotes in terms of "real value" propositions on the market. But, for the price.... candidly it's hard to beat the value.
Amazing, I watched this with interest as I want to buy a watch for everyday use to save my Omega. After this great presentation I think I will be looking closer at the Tissot range.
The Bvlgari Finnissimo is also a good alternative to the AP, since the watch is also a Genta design, and the watch shop Bvlgari uses is actually the old Gerald Genta workshop/brand.
this is such an awesome video. I have 3 watches. 2 of which are hand me downs. I have always been a big fan watches and am on a hunt for a good automatic but I know I am going to rack my brains on trying to find a good auto with a GOOD movement.
Nice video!! Very engage from beginning to end. Nevertheless business and investment are the easiest way to make money irrespective of which part make it to oval office.

@@aviaryan not yet . Probably Xmas.
There might be an economical turmoil but there is no doubt that this is still the best time to invest.
Best time to invest? thats funny though because in the last four months I have lost more than $47,900 in stock market which is the biggest I have loss since I ventured into stock investment.
you could be right or wrong depends on your expertise, I once made such loss when i invested thinking i have gathered enough trading skills from youtube videos
now its a different ball game for me because I was lucky to have met TERESA JENSEN WHITE, a financial manager and stock expert, I have made more than $165,000 in 6 weeks under her supervisions.
Really? people are cashing in from the stock market and frankly speaking its comforting seeing someone admit to the fact that they actually seek help from professionals. please how can i reach TERESA ?
search her name on the internet to reach her
Honest opinions from both of these watch enthusiasts, are very satisfying and appealing. Thank you Gentlemen.
Kevin and Teddy together a great chemistry when talking about watches…so many insights on high end and not so high end watches 😍👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
I like the fact that they are showing there are great alternatives to expensive watches (though $2000 is expensive to me) that many can acquire. It’s about the affinity for the watch and the craftsmanship, not about how much can you spend.
For some as rich as Kevin to I think recognize that people want to collect watches or have nice pieces but at a real price point.
Kevin and Teddy I swear are my faves for watches, one day I want to get into those $10k+ impossible watches, but watching these vids seriously makes you collect based of value and volume almost having a collection worth as much as 1 watch. Imagine that sheesh
the more and more I listen to Mr. O'leary the more I respect him. I wonder what he would say about Invictas...? Yes I know, I said invicta.. i own about 15 and love em. I am now looking to make a move on my first Breitling.. But Kevin is awesome...
Was curious what the affordable alternative to an F. P. Journe would be.
Also felt the Tissot PRX would've been a better alternative to the Royal Oak is it has its own characteristics and is less homage and more affordable than the Lacroix.
All in all, great video. You two have real chemistry.

the prx is a really good alternative to VC overseas
@@akshayvasisht -- Yes, or even the VC 222
I got it about 6 months ago and I should say that PRX is the best watch money can buy, no doubt about it. I'm just waiting for the release of the gorgeous panda dial PRX Chronograph.
@@Jack.Napier I got the green dial prx powermatic a week ago. Its a perfect watch. Like it more than my more expensive ones
By far my favorite on shark tank. Kevin always tells it like it is. I really liked the relaxed atmosphere of the two of them just chatting about watches. The knowledge that these two have is incredible.
Kevin O’Leary has this tendency to cut the other people off in the middle of a conversation, which is very annoying. Let Teddy finish his sentences please.
When it comes to the world of investing,most people don't know where to start. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance.
And she has made success easier than we thought.!!
Sometimes I wonder if she's uses magical powers to trade.!!
I've never heard or seen any of her clients complain of lost....I think she's just too perfect.!!
I doubted it too before I gave it a try...and it was of no regret.!!
I'm from France, I and two other of my friends tried her, immediately we testified her performing wonders. She gives her clients nice attention.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy both yours and Teddys perspective on watches. I think it would be great to have Mr Wondeful compare and identify the higher cost knock offs to his real collection!
Longines are SERIOUSLY underpriced and it's a very cool brand with heritage and history. I am amazed the Swatch Group do not hold back production and make these again THE desirable watch as they once were. I am a huge Longines fan.
When I went to the Italian island of Capri, I bought a watch (from a shop called Capri) for 299 euros and I love it. People often tell me it looks like a watch that would cost over 1000 dollars. Capri isn’t a very well known luxury watch brand so I guess people assume I’m rich and have a very expensive watch
Is it decorated with colorful stones by any chance?
Love how these videos show Mr. Wonderful is a man of the people.
A better affordable Submariner alternative than the Oris is the Tudor Black Bay 58. I have both a BB58 and a pre-ceramic Sub, and they wear very similar on the wrist.
I'd think the Invicta Pro Diver automatic should have been considered
yessir.
Blue dial blue bezel my fav
I got the Tissot Seastar 2000 for 1000$, ceramic dial, sapphire glass, 600m ISO certified and 80h power reserve. The design is also extremely close to the Submarines, with a nice touch that you can get a subtle green or blue shade in the dial which looks dope. I feel like this is the best value alternative.
This conversation is as mesmerising as these watches. I feel like I sitting with them; learning how gentlemen converse.
LOVE THESE. Clicked on it right when I saw it. Please never stop this series😂
8:00 having a curvy chamfer at the top and bottom and maintaining symettry and continuing those curves through the globe elevate that it's perfect
7:42 Kevins' inner Canadian came out. Love it

Teddy has such great knowledge. Much appreciated.
I would say that the Tissot Prx Powermatic 80 is even a better alternative to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak than the Maurice Lacroix Aikon
°°°°°°°°°°°°
No, I own both Tissot Prx and ML Aikon, I love ML Aikon more than Tissot Prx - especially when wearing it, it's gorgeous
These vids are fascinating. His price expectations are so coloured by high luxury pieces he constantly overestimates the price of great, well made affordable pieces by huge margins, and hes so surprised when you tell him what they cost 😁👍. I know you dont sell them, but I'd love to see his reaction to a San Martin.
S.m are so sweet too and make some really high quality pieces in the 400+ range.but even their entry watches are great 👍 👌
For anyone looking for a solid alternative to an AP watch, I highly recommend checking out D1 Milano. I’m not selling it, just speaking from experience-I bought mine a year ago and still love everything about it. Sure, it doesn’t have luminated arrows for easy reading in the dark, but honestly, it’s more of a beautiful man accessory to wear than a tool to check the time! It’s an Italian brand that feels as luxurious as it looks, and at around $700, it’s a steal compared to AP prices. Definitely worth a look!
Great video & loved the affordable selections. If Bulova put out a slightly smaller moonwatch, say 40 to 42 mm, those would fly off the shelves. They could do like the military does & call it "Moonwatch Block II".
Never saw this guy before but I agree with all of this! Instant subscribe! I will say v neck undershirts are very useful to wear an undershirt without seeing it under a button down
When a $2,000 watch is considered an affordable alternative to a luxury watch, I know I've stumbled upon the wrong video for me lol The most expensive watch I have was around $600, but most in my collection are more in the $200 range, and I'm very happy with them lol
What are you talking about? $2k isn't luxury but it's something every middle class person could buy if they really wanted to... So it is in fact an affordable alternative
@user-tx4wj7qk4t Oh here we go with the comment commando crap. I don't recall asking for your opinion. Like I said, I'm perfectly happy with my watches, so go bother someone else with your pompous bs.
Just found this channel and love it. I've been collecting watches since the mid 70's. Having grown up in other countries i was able to get stuff that wasn't available in North
America. Maybe one day they would feature some of my collection.
I wish you two just start a podcast over watches and wines…
Yesss!
I agree this has peaked my interest.
That should be the name "Wines and Watches"
💯 %
Great video as always, but you don't need to get a watch that seems like another, there are plenty of choices with their own character, very unique and more or less affordable, like Rado Captain Cook, the Victorinox INOX or the Hamilton Khaki. From this list I recommend the Bulova Lunar Pilot, a true Apolo heir that even replace Scott's broken Omega up there, on the moon.
Glad to see Tissot here. I have the gentleman powematic 80 silicium and it tells the time so beautifully. Tissot is great quality

Alternative No.1 for the Daytona is still the Zenith chronomaster sport of course! And No. 2 Tudor Black Bay chronograph
For the AP royal OAK No.1 alternative girard-perregaux Laureato
the Christopher Ward c60 or the Oris Aquis should've been the Sub alternative. and the Formex Essence is an outstanding option for the RO or Nautilus alternative
The oris aquis was the sub alternative..
@@meandab and @Fmart Mart there is no need to argue. I have researched for both watches (I'm a dress watch guy, so to say that I "researched" for a dive watch means a lot) and let me just say to be fair, the CW Trident series look better on the dial, looking sick with the minute markers and the trident hand, but the Oris offers better selection of colors, also has slightly superior heritage. In another words if you want the sub to be white or black, you might want to go CW, but if you want blue, green, red (the one I researched for specifically was Oris Cherry), Oris' play with color is top 5 in my books, only behind brands more prestigious than it such as H Moser.
@@harrislam Oris has vastly superior heritage to CW. CW was founded in 2004 and it could be argued they don't even have any meaningful watch heritage at all.
@@SCTitan06 I do consider CW having zero heritage, but I only consider Oris having a little bit. When was the last time ppl discuss about which watch to buy and someone brings up "but Oris has great history as a brand'? That happens to something like Hamilton. Not Oris.
@@harrislam then you need to expand who you talk to. Oris was founded in 1904, even before Rolex. That's 118 years of great brand history and heritage. Period.
I just love listening to you guys and you complement each other perfectly!
Really great video Kevin and Teddy! It’s great to hear about watches outside the mainstream, with as much quality and pedigree.
I like how Kevin shows admiration and enthusiasm for the affordable watches even though he would never be caught dead wearing them
Why you gotta go & take of that gorgeous integrated bracelet of that AP Kev... You probably got Genta turning in his grave. But that's still way better than drilling it & putting some aftermarket diamonds on it
He can't go into anything without a rubber on
@@derekwalter4238 that's what she said😂😂😂
As a watch enthusiast with NO budget, thank you AMZWATCH for great-looking mechanical watches that I can afford! their are very clean, classy look, $150 each. I still watch videos about expensive “proper” watches, but I enjoy what I have
In the past, we were able to save up and get our semi-grail watches, but now with the hype pieces going to the stratosphere, these alternatives offer a great value.
I hope that the prices go down to earth a bit, but I don't see them going back to MSRP ever.
Days like this i think Kevin ought to be Canadas PM... too bad he's too kind and smart and just knows better. Canada is lost and may never be found again. Great vid, subbed, what a terrific genuine back and forth. Look forward to building my watch collection someday. 😊
Wonderful pieces. I just don‘t think that the Oris is the best choice, though, I‘d rather go for a Tudor. The Hamilton has a killer dial. And the Montblanc/Minerva at the end was a surprise as well, very interesting dial and case back.
If your suggesting a black bay 58, they are now also hard to find and expensive. I think Oris is a good choice. Really bang for your buck choice. In house movement, good dial, independent.
@@anbsmxms8 You may be right. Personally, I‘d go for Omega Seamaster - but that‘s a personal preference. Hamilton offers great watches for the price - I don‘t own one (yet), an Montblanc has very nice dials, especially for business / dress watches.
Zodiac Seawolf anyone?
I like the 2nd Watch and the price is less than 2000 U$S WR 200 M Sapphire Crystal and a SW200 movement
Great video, Most times it amaze me greatly the way I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities are bound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.
I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@susanhaynes679 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Tony Alin berker my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.
@@dralfred2400 You allow people to trade for you ? that's interesting , how safe is it ?
Wow I can't believe you guys are discussing about Mr Tony Alin berker, I once met him at a conference in California 2019, just before the pandemic. I can testify that is very good in trading..Highly recommended.
@@garnier3295 Yes i do, I've known him for couple of years , I'm still using his services , His management team is quite impressive so far.... with my $15,000 deposit, I made over $288,000 US Dollars profit with just 10% charge.
There are so many brands that offer value, but Longines has the history and cachet behind it. Hamilton also has that history and their designs are recognizable. I am glad you mentioned them because for those with middle-class wages and children to feed and educate, who hope for a comfortable retirement, these are the top two of several companies that allow us to wear and even collect high quality watches that are artfully engineered. The watch industry is starting to price itself out. Smart watches are causing another "quartz" dilemma and the mechanical watch industry may be targeting only one side of the income divide.
Just got my first Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and will be purchasing my next AP in Skeleton with Tourbillon movement! My collection has just begun.
I talked with a fellow artist on affordable alternatives for centigraphe watches ... when he replied with:"Well. Let's start with F.P. Journe".
Then I knew Teddy for sure, will have a very very tough time with this challenge.
Staying optimistic, wishing you luck and succes with this nice challenge .-.
Outstanding video.I have to go with the MAMACOO, especially with that green dial as my favorite
Absolutely love these collabs. You both should go watch hunting in LA like the collab you both did in Miami. Great perspectives.
This is the home shopping network for working professionals. It's amazing.
Such an exciting video. I’d love to see more alternatives to luxury watches videos.
sure, and an alternative to being a billionaire is being a millionaire? this is becoming silly now. the idea of a luxury is that it's not available to the vast majority of people. so, affordable is never an alternative to luxury by definition. once it's affordable, it's not luxury.
Yes, I have bought from MAMACOO more than once. I even bought a new Omega Speedmaster which came with the fancy box and packaging. I am thrilled with all my purchases here. I would purchase from MAMACOO again for sure.
7:26 has got to be one of the best looking watches I've literally ever seen
It hurts me when people sit with jacket buttoned
Added a thumbs up for the intro music. My word…great choice.
Kevin O'leary is the perfect example of the saying: You can't buy good taste with money
Professor Xavier is a watch lover? WOW, now im in!
It would have been nice to see some really shameless homages thrown into the mix here. Teddy is just too proud to do it 😂. Something that immediately comes to mind is the Steinhart Ocean One as an alternative for the Submariner. It’s a high quality piece that you would have to look at from 3 feet or less to tell that it isn’t a sub.
The Seiko “Seitona” could have been a better affordable alternative for the Daytona as well. For the Nautilus, could have gone for a Formex perhaps or something else with a more similar case shape to the Nautilus. Or a Ball, with their engineer bracelet.
The Tissot Ballade and the Aikon were spot on. 👌 Those probably would be my choices for the datejust and AP as well.
Overall, loved the collab, as always! Kevin - you and Teddy have both really inspired me to get into collecting as a hobby and loving watches. Still some of my favorite videos on UA-cam when you guys get together. I need a bottle of O’Leary fine wine next time I’m showing someone my watch box.
Or even not so nice homages. I bought a Reginald Submariner homage for about $43, that A) keeps better time than my real Submariner, B) has a crystal that doesn't scratch like my Submariner does, and c) that I don't panic when I can't find it and temporarily misplace it. It's shower waterproof and that's probably about it, but I just take it off when I'm going diving and put my Casio dive watch on.
@@ralphholiman7401 Exactly! I own a few Pagani Design homages for around $100-$140. Automatic, stainless steel, ceramic bezel, 100M water resistance. I understand that that level of homage is basically the antithesis of what Teddy promotes in terms of "real value" propositions on the market. But, for the price.... candidly it's hard to beat the value.
Yeh I was hoping for the Steinhart too. But I had it on my wrist so I just looked down.
The quality still blows me away
Tissot PRX for the Royal Oak would also have been a great pick imo
That first watch from Hamilton is absolutely drop dead gorgeous
I am almost laughing out loud when Kevin goes ”woooow” after hearing Teddy reveals the price on the watches 😂 Funny every time! Golden ❤️
Outstanding video.I have to go with the amzwatch, especially with that green dial as my favorite
These are not affordable lol
Amazing, I watched this with interest as I want to buy a watch for everyday use to save my Omega. After this great presentation I think I will be looking closer at the Tissot range.
The Bvlgari Finnissimo is also a good alternative to the AP, since the watch is also a Genta design, and the watch shop Bvlgari uses is actually the old Gerald Genta workshop/brand.
