As a collector all you really need is a Rolex Submariner, a Hamilton Khaki King, and a G-Shock. And an Omega, and a Sinn, and a Luminox, and a Tissot. At last a Patek, but since you have the Patek you need an AP and a Vacheron. And a. . .

My perfect 3 watch collection: Sinn 556A RS, Omega Planet Ocean 39.5mm, Grand Seiko Snowflake. 3 different countries, 3 different dials, perfect for every occasion!

Of all the collections, my fave was your $25K collection -- love the Zenith / JLC / Omega combo. Also, love the Sinn U50 as a solid diver option. Would love to get hands on with one of those. Great video!

I currently have a three watch collection i rotate between. A Hamilton khaki auto 38mm , a Zelos Mako Ti Meteorite and a Grand Seiko SBGW231.

That intro cannot be more spot on. When I had a fleet of watches, whenever I wore one, I'd only be thinking about the others in my collection. imo, a 2-3 watch collection is perfect.

My 3 watch collection at the moment: 1. Orient Goldeneye CDB05001B 2. Hamilton Khaki 38mm 3. Seiko SPB119

Great video Teddy! Since I started watch collecting your videos have been of immense help in my watch collecting journey. Regards from Malta 🇲🇹

Another great vid. My current 3 watch rotation consists of: my serious everyday Omega Planet Ocean 37.5, a fun weekend watch, the Bulova Accutron Devil Diver from the 70s and an elegant dress watch, being the 126300 datejust in white.

Longines Conquest and Omega Aqua Terra are the stars of this video. Two beautiful, versatile watches. Really nice.

Although 3 watches will be enough to be ready for everything, but 4 watches is the perfect number for me. A sport/beater for the weekend 2 everyday watches for work Monday to Friday in rotation so it does not get boring for me and lastly a dressier piece for more formal occasions.

The 3 piece collection I'm working towards is: 1. the Breitling Superocean 42 with the white dial, 2. the Nomos Club Campus and 3. a dress watch. I'm not sure which one 1 want, but depending in how much I like the Nomos I might just go with a Ludwig in 38mm or a Tetra if I wanna be a bit bolder.

The Chinese Seagull 1963 is awesome. The quality is great provided the price of this watch. Great for the collection.

You are a great content creator for watch enthusiasts. Keep up the good work.

Great selections, I think you're absolutely right, you can easily cover all the bases with a $1000 or less and be very proud.

Great video Teddy, I have the U50 in Titanium. Using that currently as my everyday watch. Next will be the Omega Aqua Terra. I think I should be satisfied with those 2 for the time being.

Nice video! Well presented, with excellent photos, close shots and watch details.

Awesome content! I'd add a G-Shock DW5600 to each category, as an outstanding beater for a minimal price.

All great lists Teddy, nice variety of brands and models 👍

I paid a little more than 2000 Dollars for my collection and have managed to cover quite some different aspects. I have a Seiko Alpinist Reinterpretation (subtle green dial) as fieldwatch option. (Got a good deal on it and paid almost 200 dollars under retail about 550$) A vintage King Seiko 5626 as dresswatch. (50 years old and runs between +0 and +1 second per day. Absolutely insane movement. Also the finishing beats everything from switzerland from that period of time) (Paid 400 Dollars when they were a little less expensive than now. Every deal under 1000 dollars is still a bargain for those luxury-pieces) A Citizen Promaster as beater/diver(i don't really dive but i like a watch i could wear while swimming. Cost me about 160 Dollars) A Vintage swiss Chronograph with diving Bezel as everyday-watch (From the brand Pierce that fell victim to the Quartz-Crisis but they were the first ones that made Chronographs waterproof. Got a not-working one my father wore in his youth. Brought it to a talented watch-dealer that restored it nicely. Paid around 900$ for that service. Worth every penny. I never thought how useful a Chronograph with diving-bezel is for everyday-use. Everyone should look for something like that for real) And a Casio CFX-200 as digital calculator-watch. It is by far the King among all calculator-watches because it is a scientific-calculator. (Very expensive in good condition but absolutely worth it). I bought it from some guy who didn't really knew how much these pieces are worth and gave him 100 bucks because it was in very good condition. Saved me around 900 dollars because these are very rare collector-pieces. I'm an engineer so a normal calculator-watch is absolutely wasted on me, because i don't need a calculator-watch for simple arithmetic operations. the trigonometric and exp-functions on the CFX-200 are quite useful for me because i am an electrical engineer.

Thanks Teddy. You've given me something to think about, especially if one is willing to go the used market.

Great video Teddy! My current 3 watch collection is a Panerai PAM 0049 that was a wedding gift from my wife so it will always be there. My last two are as follows, an Omega Seamaster 300 and Zenith A386 Manufacture Edition. All of them with white dials which I do love. I may add a fourth, but very happy with the three that I do have!. For me white dials is the way to go.

My $2000 (actully $1700) 3 watch collection: *Traska Summiteer Black (everyday/business/dress) *RZE Resolute 2022 C3 Lume with canvas strap (field) *Longines Hydroconquest 39mm blue quartz (sport/travel)

Great collections! I Love these types of videos and feel you have great taste!

So happy that the GMT Master ii BLNR is the piece I saved and went for. It is my one watch collection now and always.

Can we please have an updated vid? With all new releases, new combos and options are available. Pretty curious to know what Teddy would suggest now.

I love you put a lot of variation and not the typical choices. No submariner, no explorer, no speedmaster. Classy.

I have the Turtle SRP777, with my smaller wrist this wears really well and is a strap monster. It's on a bright green Perlon now and every time I put a different strap or band on it makes me smile. This is one I am keeping, I've had it for three years, gone hiking, kayaking, camping, manoeuvres, gym, fixing the car and I only 🤞have a small ding on the bezel.

Great picks! Love these watches

Wow, Oris upcycle is fantastic!

A Grand Seiko was sorely needed in this video.

I enjoy seeing watches from your perspective, Teddy as you present certain models that are off my radar screen. My three favorites are the Saxonia, the GMT and the Seamaster 300. That would be my three watch collection if I had the budget. As I get further and further into this hobby, my tastes keep getting more expensive :)

Of all presented watches, the one I like the most is the TUDOR 1926… what a good looking piece of machinery!

That Tudor 1926 is looking nice, and the more I see Sinn on your channel the more I grow to like it!

Great video. Btw, fantastic camera work @4 :35.

I'm glad to see the Orient Maestro here again as, after discovering your website and channel yesterday, i found this Orient very attractive and pure in his design, exactly what i love. I should receive mine tomorrow after a compulsive online purchase... i do love that blue/green. :)

Some watch posts on KZfaq are hype and nonsense, but not yours. This was helpful and informative. My 3-watch collection: A Lange & Sohne 1815 Up Down (39mm) Jaeger LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph Rolex Sea Dweller 43 (126600)

Great video Teddy! Could you do the same but with micro brands only? I'd love to see what suggestions you can come up with!!

Some lovely choices at every price point

That last trio! 🔥🔥🔥

Teddy, your videos are awesome. Thanks for creating and sharing your enthusiasm. Almost everyone I know who wears a watch, has a Casio or a Timex. I know these fall well below the average watch you cover in your videos, but I think it may be helpful for more people to know what 3-watch collection they can achieve within their brand preference. Please consider it, because no one, that I am aware of, has created a video for that target market. Thanks!

I would love some videos focusing on bite sized history of watch companies along with their flagship watches (coming from a newcomer and history lover 🤩🤩🤩)

as a new watch enthusiast, i once bought the seiko turtle (srp777) in the military 10 years ago. Recently I aqcuired a seiko cocktail with a stunning green dial time for new years, and just right now i purchased a seiko alpinist with a blue dial as the versatile everyday watch. I am a one brand pony, but I have grown very fond of seiko and maybe someday I will broaden my horizon!

Love your videos 👍

My $20 Casio is the best watch I ever had. I think this guy just sells watches and never says anything negative for any watch

Christopher Ward C60, C63 and the C65 are simply the best value out there! You just can’t beat them. Another amazing deal is the older Selita movement Oris Aquis .

Great content teddy keep it coming

Good topic idea: watches to wear to different formal occasions i.e. dinner party, wedding, night out at the symphony/Opera etc. And at different price points.

Nice approach to the video! My 3 watches in each category from all you covered (regardless of price) would be... Everyday - Omega Aqua Terra Dressy - Reverso in ox blood Sport - Sinn U1 Approximate total = $2, 000

Looking at the orient Maestro. Cool to see that it is one of your top recommendations under $1000. Super helpful video, and cool to see what more money can get you in the world of watches.

Seagull stoped production 2020 and the original doesn’t have a see trough back case ! Costs around 530$ . The ones on the video are made in Hong Kong

Hi Teddy, I like this kind of videos. And the three piece collection is quite a challenge. It would be nice to see a series of videos trying to build a three piece collection from one brand only. An everyday, a dress and a sports watch. You could stretch the series from Casio to Patek Philippe. Best regards, Claus P.S.: If I have to pick three watches of my current collection it would be my Rolex OP 39 with the rhodium dial as an everyday watch, my Reverso Small Second medium as a dress watch and my Omega Seamster Diver 300m as the sport watch.

Another great set of watches. I really like a few Omegas as all around, everyday watches, but none are exactly perfect… Aqua Terra has the applied indicies, twisted lugs and exhibition caseback, but wish there was an all brushed version like the Railmaster, which is so close but the face is all flat and I really want to see the co-axial movement. The ‘21 Seasmaster 300 is another cool watch with a similar vibe, and at least a reversal of the polished to the outer links so it’s not quite as shiny, but it has the straight lugs… decisions…

Great video! if I were to go down to 3 it would be my OP39 White, IWC Top Gun Chrono and my SLA037 That green Aqua Terra is awesome!

Great video... My 3 watch collection is 1. Aquaterra 38mm 2. Rolex OP36 3. Oris 65

Nice selections.

Excellent proposals. One brand set :): Casual - Doxa Noble Day - Date (or Doxa Challenge) Sport - Doxa SUB 300T Caribbean Dress / Evening - Doxa Blue Planet GMT (or Doxa Vintage Fusion Alarm Limited Edition)

Love the videos Teddy.

The 1000 dlls is just perfect!

The $25,000 price bracket here incorporated my favorite watches of those described in this video. Still, way beyond what I could afford.

I have a BB58 blue, a Grand Seiko SBGX261 and a Nomos Club 701. Its an amazing selection to look at, but sadly the Nomos is a little bit too small for me and never gets much wrist time. So planning on a swap for a Sinn or IWC chrono of some kind to complete my 3 piece collection.

The Tudor 1926 and the Zenith El Primero are probably the most underrated timepieces. The 1st for having its movement been despised and the 2nd despite his movement. 😏 They definitively need more light on them. Great pieces. 👍

Happy Birthday Teddy 😎

Great video and stunning shots as always! You are by far at a different level when if comes to watch reviewers. The 3 watch proposition is perfect for most people. But if you're watching this channel, 3 will never be enough. You need to change your name to Teddy BadASSarre. Love your content.

Everyday: Sinn 556i Sports/Dive: Seiko SBP159J Dress/everyday: Grand Seiko SBGX261

I wish I could afford a Lange. They are just gorgeous.

As a relatively casual guy I like watches that walk the line between dressy and sporty. My current lineup is Speedmaster pro and sea dweller 43. If I were to add a third I’d be lusting after a blue dial Yachtmaster 40. If no more Rolex then I’d probably look at JLC or pick up an Aqua Terra.

Wow everything looks nice on a mesh bracelet.

Hey Teddy love the content....always go blind trying to figure out what is on your wrist in each video....how about a quick shout out to the watch you are wearing at the beginning or end of the video? Keep up the great work.

My current favorite small wrist trinity : Helson Shark diver titanium 38 / Junghans Meister / Seiko Flight Master

Awesome video. My dream 3 watch collection would be a 1. grand seiko quartz with that gold star (+-5 sec per year accuracy), 2. Rolex oyster perpetual (just to scratch that itch and have a great fitting watch), 3 Omega SeaMaster aqua terra or 300c

My pick from my collection for a 3 watch is BB58, Rolex OP, and GS White Birch spring drive.

Great trios

"watch collectors usually dont know how many watches they actually need"..... my dad has 450ish of them for some reason. Most are old slavic watches but there are some very nice ones in there too

I would need just one more watch in every collection. Pilot or field. Otherwise, quite bold and interesting choice you have made. Great video btw 👏

Dude like, I keep hitting youtube and there's always new content.. how do you pump this out at this rate.. seems superhuman

3 watch collection is ideal--you have choices but it's not a neurosis. agreed on the general categories. my sweet spot is one sporty watch (a diver for the water resistance), one dressier one with gold tones and another dressier one with silver tones (for each belt/buckle combination)

My Sinn U50 has become my go to watch…I got it with bracelet…not one scratch…not even on the clasp…its a tank!

I enjoyed this. There is something for everyone. 25k in nice but 50k is right on!

My current 3 watch collection. Everyday: Omega Seamaster Railmaster blue dial Dressy: Fears Brunswick Salmon dial Fun: Oris Big Crown Fratello edition - bronze with red dial

Very nice

First! Building towards a 3 watch collection myself. Awesome content!

When he talked about $10k price range I said maybe one day. At 25k and 50k I gave up.

Great video! For my money Alpinist, nomos gangreserve and vintage omega dress watch. You can get that done for 6k

I am a 3 watch collection convert (we don’t count a GShock do we?!!). Currently Oris Divers 65 bronze bezel; Seiko CT blue Moon; and CWard c60 Trident 600. Very happy with all 3. But could equally see myself evolving this in coming years to an all Oris 3 watcher. Adding the BC pointer date and Aquis to my 65. Perfection! For me at least.

My current 3 watch collection is an Oris Diver 65, an Alpina Seastrong Heritage, and a Seiko Arnie. They give me variety but I don't have to worry about any of them. If I was limited to $1000, I would go with a used Diver 65 and a GShock. Both the 65 and the Alpina are great everyday watches that you don't have to baby and they are a big step up from the Seiko and Orient divers. I'm not sure that I'll make that jump up to Omega or Tudor but we'll see.

Great vid Teddy. Which is the one on your wrist?

Great content Teddy! For me, if I could afford it, a Black bay 58 - Omega Aqua Terra - Cartier Santos 100 and Im done

Teddy, could you please do a segment that highlights perhaps four or five of the best Longines brand? Thank you.

I'm working on building a collection. Currently I have: Work watch - Casio A158W Every Day watch - Samsung galaxy smart watch Dress watch - Hamilton Khaki H70555533 This Fall I'll be buying an Omega aqua terra with the silver dial to scratch the explorer itch while saving some money. Really the only other watches I'm interested in are a speedmaster, and a tudor gmt pepsi

Great video

I'm working out which watches I wear and want to slim down my modest collection. I think I've got it down to 7, but I would gladly have the perfect three watch collection.

The Longines Conquest is so great. Much better than a Tissot Gentleman. Really well made.

Surprised to not see any breitling here. Their quality to price ratio is phenomenal.

My perfect 3 watch collection……is one more watch.

I'm going for a three watch collection where I wanted one Rolex, one Omega, and one Grand Seiko since to me these 3 are like the not-as-holy-trinity compared with the actual holy trinity of AP, PP, and VC. So far I have the Rolex Datejust 36mm (126234) and I'll be getting an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 39.5mm soon. For the Grand Seiko, I want it to be a Spring Drive and probably something on the dressier side.

1. Diver: Omega Seamaster 300m 2. Dress: Breitling Premier B01 3. Everyday: Rolex Explorer

Hi Teddy, how about a 3 piece colletion in 3 price bracket, an affordable beater $150, , a midrange everyday sport-field-diver $850, and an entry level maybe $2,000., which would be your picks?

As a diver ... Sinn u50, Teddy ... You should know that red colour disappear first under water, you won't be able to see it in ten meter already 😉
