Best bit of advice I wish I'd gotten as a newbie is, the price of the watch is not the cost of the watch. Servicing, especially for premium brands, can run into the high hundreds, if not over a thousand, for the authorised dealer to take care of it. For vintage, this can run even higher. Servicing is not something to be done every year, but it is a consideration that buyers should take into account.

@@TheTightSqueeze yeah, sounds about right. I have a 1975 Constellation Megaquartz that I'm looking at about 1200 to get serviced. Because it's so old, most watch repairers won't take it, so it has to go back to Omega in Switzerland.

Then again if you can't service it right now then just keep it in the drawer for a while. It won't spoil. But if you skip buying a watch you can afford (but can't yet set money aside for the servicing at the time of purchase), you might not be able to buy that watch a year later...who knows with the world of watches being like it is. This doesn't apply to all watches of course.

I liked the ranty humour that crept into this; feels nice and relaxed. These watch advice vids are good fun, and I'm probably not the only one checking off my own mistakes as I watched, but people are still gonna learn the hard way - I know I'll probably make one of these mistakes again (probably the alternative one 🙂). I think the trick is not to let the hard way cost too much financially or emotionally. Thanks TB; take care.

Great video! Definitely felt like a punch in the throat when you said, "Buying an iconic watch just because it's an icon." and then you showed the SKX009. The watch makes me so happy and I only spent like $180. I don't think that could ever be a mistake. Though I did notice, they are getting harder to find at that price now. 😅

Yup. And as always, delivered with an evenness that allows the joy of collecting to keep expanding. My early mistake was the classic buying too many affordable / mid-range pieces new and then off-loading later at depreciation, but I also kind of feel like it's part of the journey. When I first got into watches I didn't think I'd want to spend very much, but then as my appreciation for the art grew, it was worth dedicating more of my "fun money" to much more than other things. And on the other hand, while I ended up in the Grand Seiko / Omega sort of range and love both, the watch on-wrist at present that gets by far the most wrist time is my Formex Reef, and it's one of my favorite watches and brands of all time. So I'd also add the whole slew of ways that pricing doesn't necessarily translate into enjoyment. The advice I'd have given someone like myself would have been to buy pre-owned for more entry level pieces so you can experience them and move them on as your tastes develop.

"I am a sick individual." LOL same, Teddy. I love the final point you make. Sometimes it's easy to confuse admiration for a watch for wanting to own a watch. I love the 16713 GMT Master II, but once I started picturing myself wearing a two-tone Rolex and literally looking down at my wrist and imagining I was wearing it, I realized that it wasn't a good fit for my style.

This is all good advice! Better to wait for what you really want rather than buying something just to “scratch the itch.”

Such great advice Teddy. I find myself agreeing and almost giving the same advice to people around me. I especially liked what you said about not following the hype. I bought a Sinn as my first luxury watch and I could not be happier. I don’t get many compliments, but when I do, the people who know what my watch is genuinely brighten up and we end up having a great conversation about our shared interest. Also doesn’t hurt that this is one of those brands that sell their bracelets separately ;)

For some people it’s not important to them, for myself, I find that watches without it tend to not get in the rotation as much due to do the fact my wrists swell during the day and can often become uncomfortable.

Nice video. Always enjoy these advice videos. One additional advice bit I would give: try the watch on beforehand wherever possible, especially for watches outside of the entry level price segment. Speaking from personal experience, actually having the watch on crystallizes impressions that were only theoretical before. It's worth it to piggyback a watch trying session on top of an existing trip, and being patient on the purchase until you can do so.

Great content! It has taken years to refine my taste and understand what types, size, brands, styles, etc. suit my taste. If my first watch were a luxury watch, I probably would have later regretted it because I "didn't know what I didn't know" when I started collecting. I recently bought my first true luxury watch (an Explorer), and this was the product of years spent learning what I like and developing a "tolerance" for more and more expensive watch purchases. But to your first point, I tried to scratch the Explorer itch a few different times and I was never completely satisfied. Granted, I ended up with a SARY 057, SARB 035, Khaki King, and Monta Noble as a result (all of which I love and still wear), so I have no regrets. Those less expensive watches (and all other watches in my collection for that matter) helped be better understand my taste and some of the nuances of watch design. But....I can now move on from everyday watches and really expand my collection in different ways now that the Explorer itch is scratched (say hello to my Sinn 104...on bracelet of course lol).

Great advice. As a newbie in watch collection I'd say even for luxury watches you need to think about price-performance ratio. Does the aesthetics and functionality of the watch convince you enough, rather than the brand and the trend? In my opinion all luxury goods marketing follow similar logics of overwhelming the customers with brand imaging and trendy rhetoric so that they overlook the actually appreciation/use value of the item. Watch buying is no exception and every customer should be careful.

I am a watch newbie and have been hearing bits and pieces of advice from you and others on what to avoid and I love the fact there is one video that captures all the emotions that lead into first luxuary watch buy. I also would like to add, don’t buy a luxuary watch thinking you will be noticed or represent how much wealth you have. If that’s the intention a fake one will also do the trick Buy the watch with the intention no one will ever notice it, it gives you pleasure satisfaction and inspires you to do better things in life.

My big watch "mistake" is since getting into the hobby, Ive collected enough $250-$500 watches that I really love, but now I think perhaps Id like to have all that money back that Ive spent so I could comfortably get into the watch that's out of my comfort zone. I bet this is a common mistake. I can't wear 20 watches at once. Id rather have 2 special watches instead of 20 everyday watches 🥴

Very sound points here. I fell in love with the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Control Calendar. Went to lunch and decided to go for it after lunch but wife suggested I calm down and consider it for a few days first. Turning out to be a good decision as I did more research and ended up loving the Glashutte Original Panomatic Lunar much more. The JLC is a fantastic watch, but it just wasn't right for me, specifically the date window was unreadable due to my poor eyesight and not a design issue.

Once again, many great points Teddy! The one that I see a lot of is buying an icon because of status or because it supposedly makes you a collector. I own more pieces than I probably should and yes many do fall into the category of iconic but I do not own a single submariner. I do own Rolex pieces but I buy what I like not what others like or think I should own. My advice, buy what you absolutely love and you will never sell a single piece. I have never sold a single one of my timepieces (probably why I own too many, lol) and my hope is that my 3 boys will remember me when I’m gone every time they look down at their wrist. To me, that’s one of the greatest benefits of collecting timepieces. One last point, does it make sense to buy a Reverso; uhhhh the answer is ALWAYS “yes” Teddy - Always! Lol. Love the content. Thank you.

I recall buying my first "real" watch. My mind was stuck on a Tag, as one "usually does" when buying the first watch. I went to the store to get it, realized that it was too big, too bulky, and finish was too flashy. I was stuck...then glanced on a Baume Mercier GMT which looked so much more elegant and sophisticated and after some research, I figured that both Tag and Baume use the same ETA movement in their GMTs. So happy with my Baume. I would have never been happy with that Tag. Go with your gut, not hype! Great video!

Great advice! I like the idea of reaching out to find someone that has your wrist size to get a better idea of how the watch will look on you. It's why I love when you show the wrist size during your reviews. As a new collector, I would suggest you really consider how much you're going to wear a watch before you make the purchase. At most, you can only wear two watches at a time.... 🙂

Great advice! I totally think about how much I will wear each watch, and I'll likely sell some and upgrade every few years versus adding more. At a certain point, you can't wear them enough and it would be silly (for me) to have $5-10k watches I can't even wear enough..
