Shopping For Affordable Watches With Teddy Baldassarre

Teddy's learning he's the grasshopper he's learning from the master that's the way I look at it [Laughter] garbage you know when you're a fashionista like me you can pick style out five yards away already I'm kicking Teddy's ass here this is amazing I mean who knew who knew you could go with a cheapo like Teddy and get some great pieces you're not here with that let the shopping begin who doesn't like shopping [Music] hey Mr Wonderful here again with Teddy and a very exciting time one more and I'll tell you why we're in the Bucharest store this is probably the most beautiful retail outlet in the world for watches it's an experience it's like half Museum half retail store but it's got tons of Brands and I mean tons if you want to watch this is the place to come on Earth however Teddy has another challenge you know let's be honest I keep kicking his ass in these things every time you know it's true but he wants to throw yet another Gauntlet on the floor another watch on the floor he has a new idea I really like let's hear it Teddy anybody could win when you have an unlimited buddy like Kevin I'm gonna bring him back down to earth I'm gonna test you today limited budget twelve thousand five hundred dollars per watch no that's the total of your entire collection I'm gonna put you to the test last time your collection was twelve thousand five hundred dollars yes that's crazy I don't think you can do it I can look I can do it there's no question but and luckily we're in a place where they have enough timepieces within that range and I I'll give you some respect on this thing because two years ago when I got started on this journey with Teddy um these watches he was talking about I was just saying why do you like poo poo garbage but I've come to respect because I'm a dial guy you know it doesn't have to cost a lot of money for me to fall in love with a piece it has to have a great dial it has to be different than all the other pieces I have and all of a sudden you started bringing these low end pieces with spectacular dials and I started collecting them and buying them and now these are some of the most exciting pieces so when I'm walking around with something that I bought for eight hundred dollars and someone says what is that I'm thinking to myself maybe he's not nuts after all maybe there's Merit to having a barbell approach yes high-end I love it but why not also dabble in the low end for the dials because you really can get breadth to your collection when you do this I agree 100 so that's going to be the theme of today same type of setup as last time so you can choose what you want to do with your money we'll alternate back and forth yeah and we can't go over that budget of 12 500 I want to give you a little bit more this includes taxes because we are New York City we're going to exclude taxes so just to give us a little bit more flexibility got it okay okay so we look at the sticker price now we've got to be sticker sensitive here because I want to come up with at least three pieces maybe four we'll see but let's start shopping first things first we flip the coin last time I flipped you flipped this time I will call it I'll call it you'll call it so this is the two options here just like an NFL kickoff NFL Sunday you guys playing this coin flip so the winner has two options to choose from they can either go at the store first or you can then defer until the end then all the piece will be lined up and you can do a swap with the other person's pieces and the last time we did this I really screwed him on the Swap and that's how I won that contest hands down I gave it to him at the beginning because I didn't have faith in him but you know hey you did pretty well I was picking up all the nice pieces and then Kevin saw what you know was left over and you know did what he needed to do but well none of that today let's do the flip let the contest begin let the shopping begin who doesn't like shopping what are you calling I'm going to call tails that's Tails yeah baby I'll defer I don't like how this is already set up I went with it last time I went with it last time that's why I'm doing it this way all right so I go first you do let's go shopping all right let's go so what I'm thinking about here is I I like your strategy of trying to pick out say you know three to five pieces that's probably where I'm going to be yeah these are these are in this section of this incredible location probably the best selection of entry-level pieces in the world everything is covered here most of the pieces here are talking about under five thousand dollars from this corner on this is in the basement so and if you're looking to buy a watch for the first time you want to come here I mean you can't get plus they have the inventory which is a problem these days so we're alone jeans here a brand that I have a lot of respect for given that I've actually wore one of these pieces on Shark Tank this year the sector exactly yeah it was and I I met I met them through you and I bought that in Miami I remember we shot the episode yeah it was a great episode it was great okay so you got to go from scanning I do want to do a long jean and there's actually something that I saw here which I was at the unveiling of this watch and now it looks like they're finally delivering them this is the ultra crime I'm gonna do this tell me about the piece so the ultra cron is looking back to a historic reference from the brand but why it's special five Hertz movement so most of their movements around 3.5 Hertz so this is high frequency something like the Zenith el primero as an example so probably one of the most attainable High beat movements you're going to find I think this is right around 3 500 I think on the bracelet a little bit more but I saw that and I want to do it let's talk about the style of that watch divey kind of sportsy yes bracelets a little different it's more of like a mesh multi-link style bracelet but it's a little larger for my taste they're indicating here you can go total sport right good yep you can put the NATO on it yeah okay something that's gonna be my first pick and price point it's right around 3 500.37. so you're taking a third of your budget right out of the gate why not very risky Teddy what are you gonna do well listen I'm just pointing out the weakness in your decision but that's all right I like the piece I can never win around here I don't like this if there's always risk in every decision I'm just pointing out the risk all right portfolio management so that is your long jeans that's give me my pick okay okay now probably it's only going to do one watch per brand I'm not going to double dip and you don't have to do long jeans well I'm not I'm not saying I won't however I'm getting into a new space these days you should be aware of the smaller size dial okay and immediately catching my eye with this whole red vibe that I have all right is this and I think probably very attractive Price Right Here Legend diver Legend diver what is that 36 36 running the money so I'm thinking Legend diver 36 Red Band already red kind of ruby-ish dial really fits into what I'm doing with my whole red thing Red Band on everything I'd like to try it can we try it out yeah can we try it yeah I don't know how that's going to wear on you it's quite small I know but lately I'm supporting this smaller diameter I'm all for it I'm all for it um it can be very stylish I never used to do it but now um I am I've brought several pieces that way what are we thinking actually I think it looks pretty good that I think works you know when you're a fashionista like me you can pick style of five yards away now let's talk about price point what are we talking about here yeah baby come on 2 400 out of my 12 500 budget and I look already I'm I'm kicking Teddy's ass here this is amazing absolutely all right all right all right that's my choice very stylish love it okay all right where are we now Boris tell us about the brand Teddy so auris is based in the Swiss German parts of Switzerland independent brand really cool use of eclectic materials they were one of the early adopters of bronze they recently unveiled new caliber 400s so that's getting their five-day power Reserve they have two thousand dollars is mostly their Salida movements and then they extend extend up from there very interesting dial work here I mean look at this these Blues these pinks these are sort of Tara kind of uh thematic which is very hot these days also that looks like a 36 38 maybe that's a 38 for the pointer dates yeah it's a nice watch these are very nice pieces what's the price point in this so those are all in the two thousand dollar range except the one in the top right that one's going to be higher because that has the caliber 400 so that's going to be around in the threes attractive I was also looking down here at some of the bronze it's your call though it's your pick anything in here you're going to go with you know what I'm gonna go with the pointer date this is my favorite collection I liked your idea of going with the red yeah I'm gonna do the same thing but I'm gonna get a bronze case out of it and bracelet yeah I mean bronze is hot these days I mean it's just that's very attractive watch very risky because remember I have the opportunity to do a Switcheroo on them at the end he's not gonna do double red I might I might you don't know but you know it's it's my option which is what I love Teddy's in a bad situation here but he's made a good call on this all right I'm getting up there all right so that's half your budget blown already a little bit less than half okay um and we don't have to go in order we don't have to go brand by brand no I know I know I'm just you know I'm looking at dials you know I'm a dial Guy these dials are very interesting very interesting I'm looking for stuff that I don't have in my collection already in terms of dial but and also auris is you know I have nothing from them in my collection because to me it was a watch that you know wasn't collectible initially but now that you've got me into these entry level watches I'm getting such remarkable outcomes people are asking me all about them they do a lot of crazy limited editions or some over here that they've done so this is the okabongo editions I have the green texture dial same here with this New York Harbor Edition and then you have that looks like a 39 or 40 right that's a 41 I think it's a larger dial yeah what about this that's a diver 65 yeah that is kind of where they're more traditional 1960s just minimalist looking dive watch yeah yeah so that's interesting I'm thinking maybe I make a move here for the first time on aorus okay and I go limited edition and I go green dial 40 mil I think okay yeah that's what I'm thinking you want to pull that out let's pull that out let's have a look at that once you can take a closer look at this dial this is a pretty special dial too so there's there's a lot of texture in that dial so this was for a they do a lot of uh like altruistic causes and connections so this is for like a doctor's organization that do a lot of like relief work in Africa yeah and this dial is made to resemble like the grassy planes as you're in helicopter they do a lot of this like relief so that's the whole point of that dial what they're trying to emulate there Well you certainly know the story on this piece it's it's very different and that's what I like about it and it will work with a red band which is always my consideration can I put the watch can I put the piece on television so you know you can see that it's going to work Christmas party right now right yeah it's okay it's okay so that's two okay fair fair let's move on let's move on now I have dived into Hamilton Hamilton's a sweet brand yeah it's a great and it's one of my go-to pieces when I'm traveling because it looks good it was brass if you recall what I bought I don't even see it here anymore yeah the bronze is gone yeah I think this is a good opportunity to get my chronograph I'm going to do the green dial intramatic Chrono wow I like that what's the price on that that's just over two thousand dollars I mean like 21 I mean he chose wisely and I may just take it from him at the end we'll see I like that pastel looking green yeah it works with that leather band it would also work with a red band so he's already setting things up no no no you're not taking that all right so you you have three right I have three okay and you're still under twelve thousand so under twelve thousand I think I have some room to grow too let's just quickly gaze over here Neato is a brand and they don't have the craziest selection here no but in terms of what they do for the dollar amount I handle their pieces and I'm like just I'm always impressed they have their Ocean Star collection which is more their dive watches their multi-forward is more just kind of every day and then they have things like this it's a bar and Shelly watch all of these classic dress I mean you know that is such a classic look what's the price point on this stuff talking about a thousand bucks for that one very good it's very good so it's very well done these are mechanical movements mechanical movements they're owned by the swash group as well so they're kind of I used to think that was an negative but after I've seen what they did with Omega I'm very impressed with Swatch being able to differentiate these Brands and maintain price point think about all the luxury groups every luxury group is specifically only catering to the luxury segment when you think about Swatch they have everything from Swatch all the way up to Brigade yeah it's diversification and I I agree with that philosophy too as a collector I think everything should be represented so I may be only getting one more piece so I've got to be careful that's interesting I yes but what about rattle Serrano is very well known in countries like Pakistan some other places in the Middle East things like the diastar crazy looking watch that's what they're known for but also what they're known for is their use of ceramic so they do some of the most attainable ceramic made watches and bracelet watches that you can find out there on the market so not as caught on in the US the bezel is ceramic on this piece bezel ceramic and then they also have you know this is a woman's piece but you can see that is fully ceramic case and everything this very much reminds me of a Tudor look even with the the dial itself you want to know something personal I own that watch exactly really I do well then what's the price point on that it's just over two thousand dollars I'm taking it that's it that's my third piece right there now he's jogging my style and everything look at this no no please can we open that up yeah still checking on my wrist this is this is a really interesting shopping spree I'm getting some great are you kind of surprised with how much I am surprised very classic look beautiful dial I mean look at that you can see it from across the room it's sporty it's divy but it's also elegant at an incredible price two thousand dollars and it's thin I mean I don't know if you feel it but like that's pretty thin for a dive watch I mean who knew who knew you could go with a cheapo like Teddy and get some great pieces you're not here with that okay so let's do some town we'll do some tallying of money left so you've spent total let's see two thousand this is 2500 so you're looking at 4 500 there so that's 69 6900 call it six thousand nine hundred three pieces sixty nine hundred dollars and I still have money to spend this is getting really interesting let's keep going so here's the situation Teddy has four thousand dollars left to spend from his twelve thousand five hundred and I have fifty six hundred left to spend on mine against the twelve thousand five hundred Teddy can't control his spending and he's running out of money I have three pieces he's got three pieces we are definitely getting one more watch out of this each let me try to get two wow okay so let's go you're up now right all right back at tiso I want to save some money very famous Swiss brand the last two years there's been no watch under a thousand dollars that has caused as much of just fanaticism as this watch right here tiso PRX really yes why it was able to forecast the trend of the integrated Sports look and then what ended up happening with we saw with all the hierology brands everybody's getting their you know hat in the ring they were able to do it with a really well done integrated style bracelet case and coming in a price starting with the quartz one just south of it that case that band that's a legacy look for this brand it is this is from a sea star model from 1970s right it was in in Switzerland and I saw them pull this out of a tray from the 1970s and it's basically a one-to-one if you look at their 35 millimeter so everything old is New Again is the lesson on this caught the wave yet a second time decades later exploded on the scene what's the price point for the automatic which I'm gonna go for 650 incredible I mean you've got a classic look for under a thousand six hundred dollars that's insane that's Swiss made yeah 80 hour power Reserve Swiss Movement automatic it's got this nice it's kind of a tap history kind of dinosaur that must be immensely popular at 600 bucks like we work with TSO we sell them on our site they just people can't get enough yeah they can't get enough well let's get it out let's get this piece put it to the collection that's really remarkable check out that bracelet like also just you know like running I mean that's where Brands usually skimp out when you come to this price range is the bracelet automatic piece I mean that is a really stunning dial as well they don't have it here but they also just recently unveiled a Chrono version of that yeah under two thousand dollars but I must say as it's just a clean classic look an everyday fantastic go-to watch and I didn't select it so good for you teddy but I may steal it from you later we'll have to see 600 bucks that's all it cost me amazing absolutely amazing okay that's good my turn I'm looking for now brands that I've never touched before never looked at norcane I've never looked at nordane why don't you give us the quick so they're a new upstart brand the last five years but they've been adopted pretty quickly for a lot of more traditional retailers because of what they've been doing from a manufacturing perspective so they actually have access to kinesi movements kinesi is who makes Tudor movements right so they're utilizing some of their movements in their watches so that's why let's talk about this piece here with the Green Dot what's the story on that so this is their GMT and this is actually using one of their kinesi movements bronze case so I think your price there I think you're looking at the fours for that this caught my eye it's very stunning it's going to eat a good amount of your budget it doesn't matter it's style you know and I'm really putting together a selection that's going to kick your rear end 4150 well within my price point and uh let's see here too let me get this unscrew if I can now they have it taped down but this is a true GMT movement as well so you have isolated function of your local hour hand into the collection it goes I mean it's stunning and it's going to look great with a red band on it very interesting I've got such diversity in my dials on this contest really amazing what a selection and so what does that get leave me left I had 56 and I just spent what 4 000 yeah 150. so 1500 bucks give or take yeah 1500 bucks so I I could probably pull another watch out of this you don't know what are you gonna do can I get one final check of my price I have 3 300 bucks terrible at math Teddy terrible yeah okay so I can't remember I'm just yeah well you're you're limited now there's not much you can do you're you're down at you know under a thousand bucks right how much 3300 my mistake you have plenty of room yeah I'm really close to this bomb in Mercier let me just check what the price is on this moment Mercier because I think this could be my last pick this white dial Obama Mercy on the bracelet I'm right on the edge yeah and right I'm right on the edge so three thousand bucks I'm gonna do it one two three four five pieces diversity of dial I have my dress watch I have two everyday watches one's with a bronze case I then also have my PRX which is kind of my you know beater I can do it all with it chronograph and then I have my more out there but also diving capable so I have room for one more piece um at I think I have 1300 bucks left what do I have left do we know let's have a quick look the first time we did this the person I was helping us screwed up and then I went over and then Kevin penalized me for it so we have to do the math very important see I keep them honest to the rules I mean that's the whole thing I'm compliant 14.50 1450 left that will allow me to get one more piece I think but very limited in where I can go you could pretty much only go to Hamilton yeah too yeah I haven't done this um what do you think is that the right here the one in the front so that's their patrimony it's a great watch and that's well within your price range I'm gonna take that because I don't have a dial like that I'm really going dial so that's probably going to get me right to a point where there's nothing left I have a little bit of cash you might have a little small sliver I I need a small sliver I'll probably go out for dinner in New York with it looks like I have plans you say you rip these guys we do we do they do surprisingly well because I think once you get this in your hand you'll there's sports watches I think even more so but this is a really killer piece yeah it's a dress watch you know it has more of a sector kind of dial you have the long Gene sector but I think this is different different enough you have the dates beautiful just check that out very very stylish straight and the price again you're just under a thousand dollars I believe for that you're right on a thousand dollars a thousand dollars so I am going to just take a knee I'm gonna run out the clock I am done yeah I think I'm done too because what can I get for 450 well there's one thing what is it you're kidding you can get this t-so PRX right on there on the strap well why wouldn't I take that let's open the Kitchen come on that is amazing just to actually have one extra watch to you I'm just being nice yeah maybe you'll be nice to me well maybe Anything Can Happen look at that 325 bucks look at that and that's the quartz so it is different that's okay but you know who said you can't get a great watch at an affordable price that certainly is PRX at a really incredible price point that is just amazing I'm stunned well you know Teddy I will say I've learned something here today but again it's cost you because I've kicked your butt one more time no no no no 300 of the rules here we have to get them all lined up 325 dollars I told you about that yeah that's amazing okay let's put it over here have some respect when we do this now all right she's stealing let's look at this all right so let's pull we're going to pull them all together fantastic so we're going to do is we're going to pull them all together yeah and then we'll do our final lineup and then you can make your final decision what you want to do exactly do it all right Kevin so we have all the watches in front of us let's just go through each one so I have a bomb and mercy just before you start today I want to make a statement about this experience because remember we started with twelve thousand five hundred dollars I was thinking before we did our shopping spree maybe three pieces but that's not what happened there are so many remarkable timepieces in this store that you can actually build a full collection I consider collections started when you get three pieces of any collection you start when you're watch owner when you get to three you're a collector and you could start with 1200 500 to become a major collector because I'm at five pieces here and then I'm extraordinarily amazed that I got to six and the 12 500. and Teddy you're at one two three four five so I have one more watch in even a better collection than Teddy has before he even starts talking about it again this contest I I know already who won but that's okay Teddy's learning he's the grasshopper he's learning from the master that's the way I look at it to go through the watches we have the Obama Mercier Clifton balmatic this has a five-day power Reserve probably one of the most remarkable movements you're gonna find for the money at my tiso PRX for 650 for that money hard to beat then I have my aorus big Crown pointer date in bronze then I move over to my Hamilton intramatic chronograph that's a hell of a piece by the way uh-oh I don't know I don't like how he's talking right now and then I have my ultracron from longine which is Marvel in terms of its movement and what it's bringing forward because because you're in my my advisor on these low end entry-level watches absolutely happy to do it keep going norcane GMT this one surprised me in bronze with the kinesi movement on the inside then you have your Legend diver here for Mid twos at 36 millimeters which was an interesting choice this was the surprise you had a just over 300 PRX so you're going for the quartz version but to add an extra watch who wouldn't do that then you have your big Crown accavongo Edition from Orris Rado Captain Cook gray ceramic then your Mido yeah we had no money left over we spent pretty much all of our money yeah but we we got some amazing pieces for twelve thousand five hundred dollars which I think of all the things we've done together Teddy this is going to be a mind blower because people do not make the Assumption they can get even one watch for twelve thousand five hundred dollars you come to Turner Booker you come downstairs here you Cruise all of these displays and you will immerse yourself in Legend watches incredible pieces again touting this store as being probably one of the best places to shop for watches on Earth I've I've been all over the world I've never seen anything like this they spent a fortune building it but it's worth it all right Teddy what are you going to do I'm going to amaze you because I've looked through both collections your collection my collection my collection Glenn put it this way this collection if it was a kitchen and it had a sink and it had a drain it would flush onto this collection this is the elevated collection here this is absolutely so I'm not going to do anything I'm not going to do anything because I've I've clearly I've I've kicked your ass here today and I just know that I'm going to let you vote obviously but there's no I don't need to change anything my selections are Beyond perfect they are just the most incredible mix of dials sport new looks amazing Brands why would I want to touch it I was going to go after your Hamilton but now that I see too much green you'd have too much green you have two green gals already you know Green does work in a Christmasy like way with red because all of these are gonna end up with red bands on them but you know I if I went to green and you're saying I have too much green I have the same problem if I take over your Hamilton which is the only one you've selected I really really am interested in so the rest though I mean I did get a green Vibe today you're right but I'm very happy with it what fantastic watches and what a great session with Teddy we will see you next time and leave comments down below tell us who won in the comments did I finally win I don't know what's going on something's in the water I don't know what's going on in the world I think Kevin's winning these things can you have more fun than this if you love watches it doesn't get any better we'll see you next time
