I post a pic of bulbasaur with my watch several times in the group just to do that joke haha, also I have a bulbasaur looking at m watch collection because of that too
In an old video he deleted or made private, Seiko5 part 2 or something, he had a sporadic scene where he played "Reddy Bulbasaur" pitching his watch straps. It was the funniest piece of watch content on youtube, but it's gone now.
I love my Max Bill, which the first watch over $1,000 that I purchased. I don't know if it qualifies as "iconic," but the Tudor 1926 is a watch at the top of this range that is tremendous value for money. You've discussed it many times on your channel. For the price, it's very hard to beat in terms of its aesthetics, brand connection, or mechanics.
will you be doing a video on the new mido ocean star 39, looks beautiful in pictures but would like to hear your opinion on it when holding it in person before i make my decision on buying it lol
Absolutely a must that you continue to the next price point! I may know my range of what I’m willing to spend but it’s nice to see what may be just out of range but worth the stretch to obtain. As always, love your videos as they feed the kid like obsession to watches we all tend to have.
Doxa all the way. The case and bracelet finishing is unparalleled at the price range and also the movement is very dependable. It also has great history and is always a unique conversation starter.
Very nice put together , just one observation - the Nomos Tangente (that everybody praise for it's design) it's basically a clone of a "Stowa Antea Kleine secunde" or other german watches (like Lange) that used the dials from the supplier "Weber&Baral" in the 1930's (inspired by the Bauhaus school). Soo - I don't know how "Iconic" a 1990's Bauhaus "hommage" watch can be... On the other hand - the Max Bill is spot on !
I'm currently waiting for the arrival of a Junghans Max Bill 38 sapphire roman numerals no date watch. My 41st anniversary gift to myself. I'm concerned if I made the right decision for the no date since Junghans use a ghost date movement. I have plenty of day date watches and wanted a clean Bauhaus design at 3 o'clock. Will arrive within 4 days from the time I'm literally writing this. An absolute grail for me.
As a professional, you should really start to work on that. Everyone does it with Spanish and Chinese, but somehow no one gives an F when it comes to German.
Mr. Baldassare - This is off topic, but your knowledge and videos have always been fantastic, one of my favorite UA-cam channels…. Would you ever consider doing a video regarding how to negotiate (with proper etiquette) a watch purchase at an AD? Do AD’s negotiate watch prices? Is it appropriate, and if so how to go about it? Thank you.
My philosophy is that it never hurts to ask. I was able to snag an extra alligator strap for my Longines at their store in NYC. When you do negotiate though, be prepared to buy.
Was wondering how Hamilton Intramatic didn’t make the list and then I checked the retail price and was holy smokes 😮 The inflation and price increases really are pushing it. Guess it will be on the next list between 2000-3000$ price range.
You are the reason I fell in love with the Max Bill in first place and everytime I see the shots you made of that beautiful masterpiece, I fall in love with it again and again. Thank you for that, Teddy.
I have the same! Thanks to Teddy, I learned about the existence of this watch and fell in love with it. Sometimes I catch myself staring at it for a few minutes delighting in it and watching it work.
@@pawelkrzywicki I have a Form C chronoscope that I am grateful to Junghans for producing. An affordable quartz that I think is absolutely one of the best looking watches I have ever owned.
Teddy You should organize a trip to Glashtte, with tours of several important factories - the watch Community would love that. It could be an annual adventure- I know I'd sign up.
Loved the Doxa segment. I would really love a history lesson into some of the oldest watch brands that are still prominent today. Horology is a fascinating and underrated subject.
I really like Doxa, the look and feel of watches along with their storied history. I have the Sub 300 Carbon Aquamarine and it gets more questions and compliments than my GMT Master II.
I've been looking into this watch the last few weeks, and I'm sooo torn about it. On one hand, it is super pretty in its simple, no-nonsense design, and said to be very durable by almost every reviewer, but on the other hand every comment section of videos about Sinn 556 is peppered with comments from people who had some unacceptable QC issues and had to send their watches straight to Sinn. It's a tough call.
I've got one... it's perfect size, tough as nails and great design. Not much not to like..if anything the clasp is a bit large and susceptible to scratches.
Teddy change the airplane picture to a Stuka or a Messerschmitt when talking about the German pilot watches. That’s an American plane you have on there .
That new Mido is absolutely gorgeous! I have the old ocean star 200 Captain and this new one is just perfect! Mine is too big at 42.5 and I don't mind losing the day complication for a smaller case with an amazing textured dial! Right on the money! Great job Mido!
Impressive! A historical perspective is everything in an Iconic watch. I agree with your presentation of the Junghans brand, it drew me into watch collecting too. As always your knowledge is second to none. Thank You.
Hi Teddy, here are some video ideas for you; how about doing watch manufacturers from different regions? For example, one episode for all watches from South America another episode, all watches from Asia, and another episode, all watches from the Middle East etc?
I love Max Bill art and his legacy in art. It’s so surprising that in the art he’s known for his colourful geometric composition. However for the watches he went b&w to bring attention to the fonts…
Teddy..I get it..but how many people actually dive and want dive watches...compared to.. let's say ..dress watches. What are the percentages of dive watches to dress watches. I'm all about classic 1960s dress watches..( Omega examp)
I have a black Rado Diastar r5.5 square chronograph blue dial with ceramic case and titanium bracelet. It is an awesome watch. However, that model of Diastar is a little above this videos budget. I got it for 50 percent off at a jeweler in New Orleans that was no longer going to be an AD for Rado. The deal was too good to pass up and I got it for $1600! That price puts it in this category but I'm sure this video is based on MSRP.
Is it just me or is the SPB143 shown here looking a bit different from the one I’ve seen in person and in other reviews? The hands look skinner and longer here. The lume plots look wonky.
Great video as always. These watches may be iconic and very good quality, but in my opinion none are appealing to the eye, thus I would not own any one of them..
I chose you teddy bulbasaur
as a huge pokemon fan and watch collector that was funny
I post a pic of bulbasaur with my watch several times in the group just to do that joke haha, also I have a bulbasaur looking at m watch collection because of that too
Teddy our favourite pokemon

😂😂😂
Rado Diastar in gold was always the symbol of achievement in Cambodia - often with local ruby customised bezels and dials.
As a Pakistani, really impressed by your knowledge of the particular reputation Rado holds in the subcontinent - shows your attention to detail

The Hamilton Field Watch in bronze.......phenomenal
So glad to see Mido Ocean Star cutting down their size to meet the mid-size range! That's what I've been hoping for for so long.
Great stuff. $2000 is probably the top end of what I will eventually spend on my first automatic. So this video will help me on my search. Thanks!
will you be doing a video on the new mido ocean star 39, looks beautiful in pictures but would like to hear your opinion on it when holding it in person before i make my decision on buying it lol

Very cool SeaLab pic! I see a few NAVY Submariners!
Doxa all the way. The case and bracelet finishing is unparalleled at the price range and also the movement is very dependable. It also has great history and is always a unique conversation starter.
I like the style of Junghans Max Bill and Naos, but which one is the better pick?
Excellent education, as always. Thank you!
I another great video. But I would love Teddy doing a review on the Hanhart pioneer mk2. A forgotten treasure.

Great series. Keep em coming
Tissot gentleman and Tudor 1926 could have been added
The SPB153 is great, completely different from cheaper Seikos, and the 143 will be my next watch.
Keep going 2-3k and 3-5k, 5-8k, 8-10k. I think me and a lot of other people would absolutely enjoy that so much.
Keep these up, with higher price points.
these are all so beautiful! thank you
Continue on to the next price point. Very interesting.
The watches I’m into right now for 1-2 k
Longines conquest
Seikos red sharp edge
Iris ox blood pointer date
Mido, Tissot, Nomos, Sinn and Grand Seiko are the ones for me. Just don't have the money for 90% of them.
I've noticed that most iconic watches dont have numbers on their dial?
Great choices!
All dat amzwatch watches sssssoooooooo gorgeous！
What strap are you using on your Max Bill Chronograph?
Teddy Bulbasaur
Please do more on ladies watches. 😢 I love a ladies look and very classic vintage styles.
Teddy tough question for you why don't you consider Maurice Lacroix
I'm currently waiting for the arrival of a Junghans Max Bill 38 sapphire roman numerals no date watch.
My 41st anniversary gift to myself.
I'm concerned if I made the right decision for the no date since Junghans use a ghost date movement.

HEY #amzwatch I have been watching you for years and im so proud of your achievements in watches.! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
Teddy. How come you never highlight the Shinola watches. Which are made in Detroit USA.
Are they assembled or are they actually completely manufactured in Detroit.
All beautiful watches but the Zodiacs win the show.
1:54 am I seeing $36!!??!
From Tamilnadu, India
I want that mido in 44mm. Do you have any information from the CEO about planned larger ones with this dial?
I believe no man can say no to #mamacoo
hey first ones here
Is this ai teddy. Seems like heard it all before. Attracting no-one new, boring those more familiar. Exciting like a newspaper ad.
You can't make an effort to pronounce one of the proudest cities in the world of watchmaking, correctly?
As a professional, you should really start to work on that. Everyone does it with Spanish and Chinese, but somehow no one gives an F when it comes to German.
amzwatch watches are great and affordable！
HEY #mamacoo I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
you’re literally my comfort person i love you #mamacoo !

As a Pakistani, I desperately want my people to start exploring other brands. I don't understand why my family is so obsessed with Diastars 🤣🤣
It is true 😂. The gold diastar is worn by everyone.
😂😂😂😂
That's so funny 😂 I wonder why that is? Must be marketing in that region
Same for our Indian folks as well.
@@charuvilat Yep ✊️
Wow $1200 for a seiko with a throw away 6R movement.
I am still not sold on Seikos over $1,000 even with the 6R35 movement.
+1
Cool story

Nothing from Sinn, Oris or Longlines?
What do you think about the Sinn 556i in this price segment ? :)
It's the best one out of the bunch, I'm guessing he didn't mention it because he has recently in the past.
I've been looking into this watch the last few weeks, and I'm sooo torn about it. On one hand, it is super pretty in its simple, no-nonsense design, and said to be very durable by almost every reviewer, but on the other hand every comment section of videos about Sinn 556 is peppered with comments from people who had some unacceptable QC issues and had to send their watches straight to Sinn. It's a tough call.
I've got one... it's perfect size, tough as nails and great design. Not much not to like..if anything the clasp is a bit large and susceptible to scratches.
I guess the MIDO comander should've been included. Maybe in part II
Mido looks the best here....
Look at that! Mido is pulling an "hommage" to the Islander Northport! 😀
Teddy change the airplane picture to a Stuka or a Messerschmitt when talking about the German pilot watches. That’s an American plane you have on there .
I guess that begs the question. What are the pilots in the Douglas SBD Dauntless wearing?
How can you not mention the 556i here! The ultimate 1-2k tool watch.
I think it's over $2,000 now. But I agree 100%
The Mido is gorgeous....might pick one of those up this summer
Very informative presentation. I appreciate the histories you provided. Thank you.
I would consider for this list the Glycine Airman (the bronze one is >$1k) and Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic.
Yes. Nivada Super Antarctic. Great choice.
That new Mido is absolutely gorgeous! I have the old ocean star 200 Captain and this new one is just perfect! Mine is too big at 42.5 and I don't mind losing the day complication for a smaller case with an amazing textured dial!
Right on the money! Great job Mido!
Im feeling the rado diastar looks funky but in a cool way
Impressive! A historical perspective is everything in an Iconic watch. I agree with your presentation of the Junghans brand, it drew me into watch collecting too. As always your knowledge is second to none. Thank You.
I love new MIDO BB58.
Hi Teddy, here are some video ideas for you; how about doing watch manufacturers from different regions? For example, one episode for all watches from South America another episode, all watches from Asia, and another episode, all watches from the Middle East etc?
Think about it: The 62MAS cost 36 usd in 1965, which in todays money equates to 367 USD. And the SPB143 costs more than three times as much!

Awesome! Happy see a Nomos in there. Now do a $2000-3000 video :D
Now Jump!
Teddy can jump when he wants.
I scored a Max Bill 38mm anthracite dial for $600 a few years back. I love it!
I just bought my first ”nice” watch, a Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles skeleton, i am very happy with it :-)
Continue the series for the sub 1k 🙌
I would 100% get the Longines Hydroconquest the Seiko is way overpriced
What an amazing outcome for a beautiful watch. Always a pleasure to see amzwatch work your magic. Thanks for sharing this transformation with us!
I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of MaMaCoo . Their watches are of exceptional quality.
There's iconic, then there is just ugly... don't get these confused
8:30 lol what? Never heard of this
It was actually HMT the Indian watch maker which people bought back in the day when they made it.

Teddy knew how toxic watchnerds can be and literally took out the dictionary definition😂
Titoni impetus and star are massive in India.. Sell away more than Mido. Longines heritage..
I really like how you explain things ❤
A like your videos but not too happy with the extended advertising. Come on cut them back 😕
Bauhaus and Fliegers are right up my alley. The lugs on the Tangente look so much better on wrist.
Save a bit more & reach for a Tudor or (pre-owned) Omega Speedmaster.
Amazing videos Teddy, Its practically amazing, keep the good work up.
I really like the Rado diastar ,I might pick one up,they sell them at my local store.
Great vid as always can you do a review on the Luminox Master Carbon Seal Automatic
Thank you for the video Teddy. Really appreciate it.
Another great video! Thanks
I am from Germany and i love it when you say Glashütte
Great Videos
Why does that Rado look like a rusty, beat up truck close up?
I need a 1521 ocean COSC in the worst way on this bracelet here!
I bought a 143 a couple of months ago. Can't get enough of it, such a great piece!!!
