I love that teddy didn’t let Kevin get away with describing omega as cheap entry level watches.
Yes good on him
Aspirational would be more apt for the everyday people .
Good entry level would be Hamilton Tissot etc .
@@julienfroidevaux1143exactly. I got a Hamilton and i agree. I really Love my this Watch
He meant entry level into high end luxury, but I agreeb that he's wrong. Entry level would be Breitling, Tudor, Tag, Longines.... the next tier is Rolex, Omega, etc.
Yea because teddy has a watch store and a lot of his customers can only afford these types of watches
It’s all so relative. Not so long ago my SKX was a stretch. We shouldn’t forget that these days almost any mechanical watch is a luxury and that doesn’t change just because our budget might grow.
I love whenever Kevin and Terry come together and show their passion on watches
It would be easier just to reply to the emails about the watch rather than simply ignoring the messages. I've got loads of user names on youtube so just going to saturate your youtube comments
I agree. Their collaborations are entertaining, and I always learn something. The best thing is, while Kevin can afford to get almost any watch that he wants, I don’t perceive the slightest sense of watch snobbery. It’s a pure appreciation of these representations of art, technology, history, science, math, sports….
Kevin IS NOT IN THE LEAST BIT passionate about these watches - any more than he was passionate about the Longines he swooned over. Christ on a bike - are you so gullible?
@@joeftan agree
@@joeftan Kevin seems more like a watch speculator that's into it purely on the resale value
Teddy, I enjoy everything you do. When Mr. O’Leary is on, it’s an entirely different level of experience. I will never pay for that level of luxury but the dialogue between you two is priceless!
Thanks,

@@ericalorraine7943I'll suggest you lookup Priscilla Dearmin-Turner, she's the real investment prodigy since the crash and have help me recovered my loses
A news host spoke so highly of this💕 woman Priscilla Dearmin-Turner and her loss prevention strategies
@@freddesmond2613i just lookup her name online and found her qualifications on FINRA and SEC, she seems really solid. I’d go ahead and leave her a mail on her webpage🙏
Paid off $892000 loan within 9 months thanks to Madam Priscilla! So happy we are finally onto baby step 4, 5 & 6! Amazing! 🇨🇦
I heard she always have a way of linking someone investment into something new and profitable?
Love when Kevin says “entry level” haha
He's not being sarcastic either
@Daniel Brice omega is one level above tudor, tudor watches are uglier though
@Daniel Brice Tudor is a poor man’s Rolex.
What, you didn’t (or don’t plan to) start out collecting watches with a $5K-$6K Omega Seamaster or Speedmaster?🤪
@Daniel Brice tudor isn't even entry-level. Omega > tudor.
Love Kevin’s version of “affordable”. Honestly though I’m glad Omega is firing on all cylinders. Love the updated Speedy. The Aqua Terra was never in my radar - it is now!
hes just keeping it real. Mr W actually comes off as very down to earth to me.
Omega is awesome! It’s just Kevin’s concept of watch cost stretches to FPJ and a lange and sohne
Lol yeah. $24000 "this is a serious commitment". A $500 watch is a serious commitment for me...
@@SavedbyHim that has nothing to do with the watch and all to do with your own weakness
@@damnsenwatch3146 You don't know me
These reaction videos with Kevin are always so enjoyable, I love his pure passion for watches and Teddy is always so knowledgeable about the topic. Also those Omega are amazing: the terracotta is just beautiful.
So amazing to have this exploration with Teddy and Kevin. These two just SIZZLE whenever they get together and talk watches!
I have no idea about this but my assumption is that Kevin is likely an investor in Teddy's company and has behind the scenes been a mentor to him.
For some crazy reason, I was recommended this channel about 6 months ago and have enjoyed the content. I have resisted buying a watch as Teddy recommended doing. Though I can afford to buy watches at higher price points Teddy has shown that there are great watches that can be had for under $500. I will likely start there with an Orient but will add an Omega at some point. Maybe when I retire in a few years.
Thank you to both Teddy and Kevin for doing these videos together!!
I have an Orient Ray 2, great watch. Lots of modding options. You won't be disappointed if you go with that one!
I always assumed this
I think he must be. There's no other reason that he'd be on the channel so much. It's awfully embarrassing!
@@GeorgeFrideric71 embarrassing? How?
Would make sense since Kevin is an investor & has a deep passion for wristwear. If so, good for Teddy!
Mr.Wonderful and Teddy did it again, what a dynamic duo, really!
💯 %
They have good chemistry.
Absolutely agree. A charm and so pleasant to watch!
Love how Kevin's idea of "entry level" and "affordable" begins at $5,000 😂 anyone of these Omegas is literally a dream piece for me. Gonna save up for 5+ years and buy one someday!
There's no way to justify even a $1000 dollar watch when you have kids, debt and a mortgage. These people live in a dream world while people are starving for their next meal less than a mile from their doorstep...
@@SavedbyHim your lost and I feel bad, people like you never actually get to enjoy life
Please learn about financing…then a $5000 piece cost $100 a month and if you can’t find a way to affford that, your just bad with money….
Keep it up pal, and once you're there you'll appreciate it so much more! Just make sure to not listen to geniuses of personal finance in the comments who suggest getting financing for expensive watches :-)
Best of luck!
@@thamadflava ah there it is, the famous "bootstraps"!
Great job guys! Love the collaboration videos at the boutique on site. Can’t wait to see the next one.
Ahhh I love the sector dial CK 859! So cool and I’d love to see more of these coming out in the future. Great video as AAAALWAYS Teddy!
Watching an Omega video? You said on your channel you just found them average.
Teddy and Kevin really kill it when they go shopping or talk about watches. They're a great duo.
I love that, at his core, O'Leary is a watch addict like the rest of us lol. I feel the same way about the Omega x Swatch collaboration - I want them all for no reason haha
i wanted all the moonswatch, then it was it`ll be available online soon` to `not online` now in the UK only 3 stores are selling them out of 400+ stores. i`d have to travel 3hrs each way just to see if its in stock, and the train would cost more than the watch itself. for that reason alone i have no intention of getting one now unless they have it in my local store on the off chance i`m walking by.
Dont trust that he really likes all these watches - so many of the watches he 'praises' on youtube he doesnt own. I believe he's doing this for the views.
His personal collection is very mainstream. Perhaps only the GS is not
@@justinseah4011 I get what your saying but I’ll add this, I see and review many many watches I absolutely love. The Tissot PRX automatic is a great example. I love it. I rave about it. But it doesn’t really fit my collection style so I don’t have it.
Also, like many seikos, I realize that if I buy one dial color of it, I know I’ll want all the dial colors, so I haven’t bought any.
I think a lot of collectors have similar feelings. But, however, you may be right 🤷♂️
His enthusiasm sounds very genuine to me. I love these videos.
@@justinseah4011 You probably haven't seen his entire collection tho..
I love listening to these two talking watches. There's just so much passion on display.
Teddy & Kevin provide a very thoughtful and classy take on watch collecting and all things watches without being snobby. I love that Teddy caters to all collectors of different price points. Kudos!
“If you’re 330 lbs this will work for you “ I feel attacked Kevin 😂
could you do this for other brands as well? for example IWC, Nomos Glasshute, Hamilton,Longines etc?
Yes! We have done similar things stopping at boutiques in the past JLC, Lange, VC, Longines, FPJ. We can do more.
Nomos would be 🔥
@@Bierwirth01 Love to see a Nomos video with Kevin!!
@@TeddyBaldassarre Grand Seiko?
@@TeddyBaldassarre Please do IWC.
You both are such a great pair offering each distinct perspective giving an overall detailed opinion of each watch
Always entertaining and informative. I very much appreciate both perspectives and enjoy hearing Kevin's take. Thanks for the continued great content!
I really love the Omega with the sector dial. The vintage design speaks to me. So does that dark green dial with the moonshine case.
Love the studio quality stuff, really helps bring the watch to life like I'm there. That red AT does look pretty stunning. Teddy, how'd you compare it to the red of the Autumn GS you reviewed a couple of years back?
Great content and banter. Good tag team work. I would have picked a couple from each of their choices as my group of four. Plus, it’s always fun watching Kevin have such a high opinion of himself and his watch choices. 😂
Absolutely love these videos with you both. Keep them coming :)
Omega's are my favorite watches. I own other brands, but whenever I go somewhere and only want to take one watch, I always pick omega. Been wearing my AT world timer a lot lately. Not sure about the ultra deep. (haven't had the chance to try it on) When I wear my planet ocean GMT, I feel like that is thick enough.
The Ultra Deep isn't that much thicker than the planet ocean GMT. They range in thickness from just over 17mm to 17.8mm whereas the steel versions of the Ultra Deep are 18.1mm. The Rolex Deep Sea is 17.7mm.
AT is the best everyday watch. I take it everywhere.
Same. Omega is my favorite.
I love omega to they just have such a great combination of quality, value, class, and uniqueness that you just cant find anywhere else
Teddy plus Kevin equals a great video! Please keep making more of them!
Glad you enjoy them! Have a great Saturday!
Great paring, and love that Teddy's there to hold Kevin's feet on the ground from time to time!
Ever since I started watching Mr. Baldassarre and Mr. O'Leary, I have been speaking their language with watches that I can afford at this stage. My phone tells the time a lot more accurately, but I wear a watch because I love watches. Keep pumping out these videos.
Gotta go with the gold dial Speedmaster (shown briefly). Just gorgeous!
I like these frank discussions between Kevin & Teddy. I own four Omega watches, and Omega offers amazing value/bang for the buck from a Swiss watch brand. The Planet Ultra Ultra Deep may not be seen in the wild too often, but neither is the PloProf -- both are truly professional dive watches. I would love to see Omega take the color blue of the bezel, and put it on the dial of the Aqua Terra! Spectacular blue that really pops!
Cant wait to see you guys do a 2022 watch shopping video.
Kevin: After seeing your red watch straps in several videos, I have developed and appreciation how they can step up the look of the watch. Always excited to see a new Kevin-Teddy video. I learn a lot for both of you!
I’m really surprised at how dark the green seamaster looks compared to previous videos on UA-cam. It looks nicer and more desirable this way and now on my short list
The green dial looks black to me.
Love this type of series. Kevin’s taste is great and his thoughts are always insightful. Thank you for taking the time to create this content.
Teddy you and Kevin knocked it out the park again with this video that Terracotta Aqua Terra is beautiful. Soon as Kevin saw that watch he was smitten that will look stunning with a Red band on it.
Picked up a Heritage Seamaster 300 based on your many videos. Absolutely love it. Another great episode Teddy !
That green Seamaster 300m looks SO good. Want one more every time I see it. Can’t believe there isn’t more talk about it.
I agree. There are only like 3 dedicated UA-cam videos concentrating solely on the new green model. I am on the waiting list at my local AD (told it should be in any week now) - maybe no one has got their hands on one as yet???
@@watchthis7620 same! Here’s hoping it drops soon. Going to drop by today just to say hi and check in…
Agree!
I'm from Swiss/ZH most people, even the wealthy ones, wear a simple 100$ swatch, so this move is for everyone a plus I would say. What a banger! Great content!
I know people that wear a yellow gold Rolex Daytona as there everyday watch and it isn't to show off. Wear what you like except in London because criminals target expensive watches.
Great show lads. Love my Omegas, so precise and well designed. Thank you fellows.
Who would have thought...Teddy and Kevin make a great tandem! But you guys do, and I can see the true respect that Kevin has for you. I love that he wants all the Swatches, and that's actually a really smart investment, because I don't imagine him ever wearing them, so they'll still be mint mint in a few decades.
It’s funny, you have two very astute watch guys who don’t bat an eye when discussing watches worth several thousand dollars, but the ones that steal the conversation are the $260 watches. Love it.
I like Kevin because he's so upfront about everything. He buys watches as investments first and foremost but he does like them, and more importantly he's totally honest about it. I know that irks a lot of people but I have to give it to him, he has a method and he follows it. May not agree with it but I can respect it. Plus he's kind of irreverent about it, no BS, which I like.
PS very surprised to hear his take on the Moonswatch, not what I was expecting at all.
He is extremely intelligent and like you said no BS. Just looks man of his words.
This is a great format and I love these videos with the two of you. This one had a lot of commercials in the middle of it which was annoying since i was trying to study the watches you were showing.
I like these videos, fun chats and interesting watches. Teddy is too much of a gentleman to tell Kevin he’s using the loupe wrong 😂😂😂
The new aqua terra’s are on point 👍
I just wish they had color matching & framed date windows
And that the date window was properly positioned at 6
Love the new Seamaster Aqua Terra but I feel like they missed the mark a bit not having a matching date wheel.
I prefer a non matching date wheel, it's a lot harder to read the date when it matches the dial in my opinion.
That would have been very cool.
Love it when the two of you get together, always interesting.
I just bought the new 2022 Speedmaster Professional "Sapphire Sandwich" a few weeks ago. And now I'm fixed on to the Aqua Terra in red and/or terrakotta ... beautiful piece.
I look forward to the Teddy x Kevin videos so much! Always great content!
Damn that black dial with waves in it look clean as F!
Great video. Thank you for highlighting one of my favorite watch brands.
One of the best internet collabs out with another hit. Great review of this years Omega lineup
You talk about the display back case of the sector dial and don’t show it? That hurts almost like Kevin saying those pieces are affordable, lol.
The CK859 is now on my short list of aspirational pieces, what a subtle spectacle 🔥
Same, I love the sectored dial, and great movement
The domed crystal is something too. Can't tell from this video though
Always love hearing Kevin's take on these watches! Cheers, Jack
Teddy you are such a pro!! Love all the collabs with Mr.Wonderful!
Omegas have always been for people who want quality and can afford to pay for it, but have no need to wave a Rolex around...it's not so much about status, so your true blue Omega enthusiasts aren't insecure about a Swatch collab.
Rolex wasn't always like this. I remember about 5 years ago you could walk into a boutique and get a steel Daytona and my boss had a gold version and no one cared whereas now people are charting investment values of watches and people are getting assaulted and targeted by criminals for their watch. The world has lost its mind over the last few years.
I might need another job….gorgeous watches.
Well done! You 2 are a Great duo, I need more!
Thank you both for keeping it classy and fun to watch
Thanks Kevin, Now my entire collection is below entry level.
Thanks Kevin, now my entire collection doesn't add up to one entry level watch 😉
You must be a very… very poor man!🥺😜
Love these collaboration videos. Nice discussion on the brand
Hey, Teddy. Like your videos. Would love an updated watch collection video, if possible. It has been a while since you did one of those.
I like to see more on the Junghans and Marnaut watches and what is both of your perspectives with the brands’ products. Great video by the way and I love the collection of Omega watches.
I love how humble teddy is. He’s quick to correct Mr. Wonderful when he mentions $5k is “affordable”
Class act all the way.
You're right. Class act! however, $5k seems low now among high end watches.
What he means by it is that Omega is generally the cheapest of the well known luxury brands, its hard to place other watches in the "luxury" category if they cost under 5k imo
@@richbrake9910 Yes that's a great point.
@@Rosterized You are certainly correct in that regard.
At first I thought Moonswatch was a great idea until I found out more about the product. If there is ever a problem with it you just throw it away because it is not repairable. The crystal is not a crystal it's acrylic, which does allow you to buff out scratches. If the acrylic ever breaks to a point where it needs to be replaced it is irreplaceable. The acrylic crystal is laser fused to the bio ceramic (plastic) body. Basically all they've done is taken a Swatch and put the Omega logo on it and boosted the price. Honestly for the money, you can certainly buy a better quality watch elsewhere.
A real Speedmaster is not sapphire
@@QuickF90 I believe a Speed Master crystal is replaceable where the Swatch is not.
Kevin makes a great point about contrast that makes a watch readable,I love a white dial and gold hands but struggle to read them so only buy watches with great contrast now.
Very nice Video as always :) Would love to see a video of you two talking about the point of mod watches. Keep up the good work!
"CK859 has a great display back"
Proceeds not to show it, lol
"They offer affordable pieces to start"… I think Teddy should probably coach Kevin a little bit before these videos and/or give him some perspective. Otherwise a nice video.
They have different audiences.
Teddy is aware. Kevin is semi aware when he makes that comment.... however.... I don't think he cares lmao.
His "affordable" is low end of premium 😂
Why would we want Kevin to utter any perspective other than his own?
Thank you TB, your channel really changed how I view watches. Simply life changing.
And omega is on top 3 of my bucket list.
Without in any particular order:
1. Grand seiko SLGA007
2. Rolex date just black dial
3. Omega aqua terra 38 black dial
Didnt even considered omega until I saw this and it is reallllyy growing on me.
Thank you!
Two successful businessmen and watch lovers discussing my favorite watch brand. What more, possibly, could I ask for? Love the video @Teddy!
Entry Level? Once upon a time, I would say! To call >5K watches „Entry Level“ is pretty strange even in times prices for luxury watches are sky rocketing without limits as it seems! In hard times there are other brands which would deserve to be called „entry level“, such as Seiko, Mudo, Longines, up to Nomos, Tudor…
But yes, if you are thinking about Rolex, Lange&Söhne, Jaeger, Patek… well, Thema less costy Omegas could be seen as entry level.
Omega is entry level? My Seiko collection is now cowering in the corner lol.
Entry to luxury segment watches man.
Seiko is an entry level to real mechanical watches.
@@Gasta1983 Aren't Hamilton, Tudor, Oris, Breitling, and Tissot luxury?
love when kevin and terry collab on videos, its awesome to watch
During the craze, I went to various of swatch stores in different states and they were always sold out. I was a little bummed out but then for Christmas, my wife surprised me with the Pluto version. She had to go through leaps and bounds for it and it’s my most treasured piece.
Fast forward to today, I just bought the white dial speedmaster and I love them both equally. If it wasn’t for the moon swatch, I don’t know if I would’ve developed that love for the speedmaster so it was a great move.
$5000 is very affordable, period. That is if you're part of the 1%. I'm proud of Teddy for keeping it real by disputing the definition of "affordable". $500 or less is what I'd consider "affordable". For me, $500 for a watch that won't even tell time as accurate as quartz is a lot of money to spend on a watch.
If you need accurate time from an analog watch (assuming you can’t just look at your phone as most addicted cretins would protest), Casio is the way to go. If you like watches as mechanical curiosities and don’t care if it’s off by a few seconds/day or minutes/week, then $500 is a good range for what amounts to a hobby expense.
There are many "entry level" $500 watches with excellent eta/sellita movements from lots of microbrands that will last a life time and look great.
I really enjoyed watching this gentlemen's talk. Great content. Cheers from Germany
Kudos. The clarity of the video is tremendous. Well done.
Realizing that the Swatch-Omega is practically disposable (there’s no way to replace the acrylic if you broke it) it’s really disappointing. Not worthy. Not even as a part of a collection, that you’re not planning to use.
I usually agree with everything these two say, but on this occasion I don't. I think Omega have gone completely off the reservation in 2022. The Moonswatch is a plastic gimmick that cheapens the brand and the new colourful dials reek of a "me too" attempt at Rolex's 2020 OP collection. What the hell is going on at Omega at the moment? I now wouldn't touch the brand at an entry level point.
Finally! Someone who is talking some sense. Omega has greatly cheapen their brand with the MoonSwatch. I went from a potential buyer to zero chance of wanting to purchase an Omega.
Lol ok
Great video teddy, I’ve got my seamaster 300, but Kevin is definitely right you want all those swatch versions,they look amazing,hopefully I can get one 😁
This collab is legendary, do more please!
I understand Teddy does these collaborations for the sake of content and his channel......but I am sure that internally he despises Kevin O'Leary. A young guy with such a good taste, elegance and common sense, cannot really connect with someone so arrogant, disconnected from reality and sooo watch illiterate.
Teddy, you just lowered your brand by sharing time with this con.
Wdym they just both love watches and enjoy discussing it
Still deciding on my first ever Omega. Thanks Teddy and Kevin fpr your excellent work 👏
Regards from Malta 🇲🇹
Great video. That terracotta AT is awesome. Glad to see moonswatch being taken the right way!
I saw the Diver 300 in blue on Saturday and fell in love.
Lol! Kevin super chuffed with watch on each of his end. Also LOL when Omega is an "entry-level" watch.
Another nice video, gentlemen. Having a Speedmaster, I can honestly say, I want a MoonSwatch! I don't think I need all of them as Kevin has announced, but having one just to say, "I got one of those!" is right up my alley!
You guys do so great together! Great video!
Great content! I REALLY enjoyed this segment.
Wonderful video and just proves why Omega is my fav brand. Great job Teddy and Kevin.
That’s a great video! Hope to have a grand Seiko video with Kevin!
Love Teddy and Kevin together!! Excellent video.
Teddy, I love these collaborations with Kevin. The content and discussions around the various watches is fantastic. Omega is my favourite 'obtainable' brand so this was extra special! Keep 'em coming....
Hi Teddy,
I've been contemplating buying the MoonSwatch when it arrives online in Sweden. However, from what I have seen, one thing I think might be subpar is the strap. What is your opinion about it? and what alternatives would you recommend if anyone consider changing it?
Ordered the 2022 Moonwatch yesterday, this made my hype even bigger. Great stuff, Teddy!
Where'd you order it from? They seem to be out of stock.
Great session. Thanks for this 🙂👍🏼
I like Kevins confidence talkin about luxury watches while sitting with BOTH buttons buttoned up!
