I love it when Teddy whips out the Balls. Red Balls are popular, but blue Balls are probably the most common.

I bought the steel bracelet black dial Railmaster a couple months ago and put an army green NATO strap on it and absolutely love it! It matches with a ton of straps. Great video as usual Teddy!

@aaronmonheim6428 11 ай бұрын

The Grand Seiko is probably the most useful tool watch for any medical professionals. The fact that it could be worn by an interventional radiologist every day (extreme high magnetism environment), most patients don’t know what a Grand Seiko is (it isn’t like a patient seeing a Rolex on your wrist), and the fact that it is quartz for measuring heart bpm is huge - it’s essentially a doctor’s Milgauss with a deadbeat seconds complication.

@KB-vf4gz 11 ай бұрын

Do you have any experience working in a hospital wearing any number of different brands in an “ extreme high magnetism environment “ ? Bc if you do I can tell u I work physically close to these “ environments “ and cannot tell any difference at all in performance with many brands I wear in a rotation the magnetism environment topic is very overblown…🙄🙄🙄

@Mister_Anders0n 11 ай бұрын

@@KB-vf4gzi do have that kind of experience. Since i work in MRI i jumped on this video thinking "hell yeah, maybe a watch that doesn't lose time after a shift in MRI". But with a magnetic field of AT LEAST 0,2 T [2000 gauss] every watch on this list won't do the job. Best advice: go to work, leave your watch in the car, earn your pay, turn back, wear the watch again.

Love you and your vids so much Teddy! I will say the pricepoints you mentioned I think pertain more to the black dial. Most of the Z-blue Milgauss' I've seen are around 13k+ for brand new. I got mine recently at 12.7k before taxes. While the milgauss is a unique piece that nothing else can compare to imo, you did a great job at providing some worthy alternatives!!

I found the Damasko DS30 thanks to Teddy’s videos and opted to buy one as my first luxury watch over the Sinn 556. Can honestly say I’ve never looked back and it brings me so much joy. Completely agree with the Milgauss appeal as I wear my DS30 in the labs working as a microbiologist. I know it can handle anything I throw at it, and it hasn’t shown a single scratch in the year I’ve worn it daily. So thanks for your part in that Teddy! And glad it’s getting more recognition!

As an SBGX341 owner, I'm not sure it's a Milgauss alternative aside from the magnetic resistance thing, but it is objectively the best watch I own (although not the most expensive or even my favourite). It's just absurdly practical.

@PCguy650 11 ай бұрын

Hey Teddy. Do you think that the hype of "who can go deeper" will wane over time? We've already had Omega and Rolex effectively go as deep as we can go underwater, meaning that pieces used to show technological and engineering prowess in the pursuit for deeper depths and not actual practical use (Deepsea and Planet Ocean lines) could potentially fade into the background like the Milgauss did? The Deepsea challenge most certainly wont last long, but the Sea Dweller Deepsea certainly cant last much longer, can it? A dive option for a brand (Submariner in this case) as well as a piece capable of greater depths (Sea-Dweller) is certainly all a brand needs and the Deepsea line was just part of the pursuit to show off the brands capabilities more so than create a piece of practical use?

Here’s a question… When it comes to anti-magnetism, is a mechanical or quartz movement a better option? I only ask because I was surprised to see the GS Quartz in this list.

@CompassIIDX 11 ай бұрын

I'd think a quartz would be better since the movement is so much simpler, hence less pieces to potentially become magnetized.

@SopwithTheCamel 11 ай бұрын

A watch with a date is dubious, the plain dial was one of the features I wanted. The colour was another thing. When I saw a milgauss at dealers I just went wow! It’s a funny thing about the date on so many watches. The main thing I have always wanted to know is what day it is, so how did we finish up with this situation where I have to pick up my Rip Curl to find out its Thursday? And the tide is out.

Chrono24 seems to suggest that I've lost a third of its value, but I don't care, it wasn't bought as an investment. I love the subtle looks and it's one of those "if you know, you know" watches.
