Got a mini heart attack when i saw the title and thought the white speedy was just 1.5k lol

Congratulations on 1 million subs teddy! Very well deserved. Keep up the great work.

16:24 Teddy listens to Metal, Metalcore, and heavier music. Hearing this alone makes me want to drive to Cleveland and meet this dude and buy a BA watch! Cheers Teddy you are the man!

Teddy being a metal fan warms my heart

Congrats on1 Million subs. Well deserved.

Teddy rocking metal on the way back home seems just too funny😂

I like what you said about taking a step back to cherish what you currently have instead of chasing what’s new or what’s next is 100% true. Your video always brings so much value in your video not just about watch. Congrats on the 1M subs. Hopefully of these days I’ll get to visit store.

1 Million subs......wow.....I may of not been here from the beginning but I've been here enough to say thank you for all you do for the community. After 3 years of watching (lol) watch videos. I finally picked up my first omega. Not a speedmaster but a white dial seamaster and I'm in love. Glad to be here for the million and I hope to be here for the 2 million. Much Love - TWT

90s hip hop instrumentals are one of the best parts of being alive today. As a writer, it’s every day I’m listening to Dilla beats on vinyl. Respect, Teddy!

Congrats Teddy on the 1M! Your content bridges the entry level and the high end. More power to you! Great video as always

Congrats on 1M Teddy! You are the one of few that really pushed me into this beautiful world of watches! Keep up with awesome work!

Teddy is the realest one in the watch game. Should have hit a million years ago! Congrats, Teddy.

The Grand Seiko 9F quartz is an even better value proposition than the spring drive. It's a completely in-house movement, and GS even grows their own quartz crystals and makes their own conductors. The computer chip scans the air over 500 times a day to adjust for any temperature changes. GS says it's accurate to 10 seconds a year, but everyone swears it's not even off by a single second which is insane to think about. I'm seriously going for this over a spring drive. With a reasonable discount, you can easily get one for below $2,000, and they come with the same dials and craftmanship as any other GS. Seriously a no-brainer. (and congrats on 1 million Teddy!)

A fellow watch enthusiast + metal/metalcore fan! Congratulations on 1 million subs - some of the highest quality content on KZfaq!

Teddy congrats on hitting 1 million subs. Well deserved!

Finally! 1 million subs! Glad to have joined your community while it was under it! So proud to see your grow so much.

already loved your channel Teddy, hearing you are a metal guy put you at the top of my list!

Yes! An updated ladies watch video would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for the great videos!

Teddyyy! Congrats on hitting 1 million subs, man! Been watching your channel for over 6 years. So happy for you and the team! 🥳

Congratulations Teddy on hitting 1 MILLION subscriptions!! What an amazing milestone! Well deserved! Keep up the great content!

Metal/metalcore/jazz/pop-punk, this guy is just like me fr

Finally! 1MM Subscribers! Kudos and Congratulations, Teddy! More power!

I echo the comments on being surprised by metal/metalcore! Glad to hear I’m not the only noble savage into watches and blast beats!

Teddy’s the best, man. This channel is my fav pastime.

Your answers were very thoughtful, thanks for putting in the effort to making this Q&A.

I have some experience with going to expensive watch stores, they are usually very welcoming and just want you to have a good time, they will get every watch you want to try from the lockers, sit down with you and let you try em out and chat about them. I've even specified that I won't be able to buy any of them, but they just deflected it by saying the most important part of a buying decision is to try watches on your wrist, see them, feel them. Pictures on internet and youtube can only show a 2d representation, and pics can vary in colour density depending on who photoshopped them afterwards . I've never had a bad comment when I said I couldn't afford to buy this speedmaster I'm trying on. They even encouraged me to take wrist shots. The most important thing is to be respectful of the staff and showing interest, not just "no i'm just browsing" when they come to ask if you need help. Engage with them, and you get a GREAT experience. One clerk said I wasn't wasting his time at all, most customers want to come to a store and try different things, before making a decision maybe days or weeks later, it's fine. But of course, be reasonable and don't lock down an employee for 2 hours when you don't plan on buying anything at all. Also if the store has no customers at that time period they seem more than happy to just chat with you about watches and show you around the store. Makes the day less boring.

Congratulations for the 1 million subscribers ! Your channel is a reference for watch enthusiasts, and the one I recommend to my friends if they need a professional opinion about a particular watch !

Congratulations Teddy for 1M subscribers!! Thank you for all education and inspiration to me and all of us!!

Congratulations Teddy! A true milestone. 1 million people is a country!

Congrats on 1 mil man! Knew youd make it big when I saw your vids for the first time years ago 👏🏼

Thank you for all you do to show us cool and nice watches. Happy for all the success you are having.

Teddy Baldassare listening to Metalcore is a wild ride for my imagination 😂 cheers from Biel, the hometown of Omega

I just love the folks here, the audience Teddy has gathered over the years is just as sophisticated as himself. You are truly a gem!

Best part of having a watch collection, I am finding now, is taking moments of extended time when you just enjoy what you have -each one individually, without chasing anything new. Yeah, those "moment" won't last forever, and you'll eventually want something new - taste change, models or fashions change, but those moments make watches worth having.

Congratulations Teddy. Thank you for all the great videos over the years. My favorite moment was when you played Reddy Bulbasaur.

Such a genuine guy, thanks Teddy

Brand new to this part of our wonderful world, and was moved by your appeal to gratitude and a gentle reminder that these little marvels are not our identity. I want to enter into watch ownership for enjoyment and as a marker of moments in this life for which I am thankful. And goodness are there some options to marvel at!

Yo you have ya own store now? Thats crazy!!!!! Salute my dude.Been down with ya channel since way back! Keep leveling up my dude!!!

Great video as always and a Huge congratulations on the 1M subs!

YOU ARE RIGHT......Does not matter the "color" it is the basic design !!!!! Marvelous looking watch !!! Really like it!

Great video. Something I would bring up with trying on watches “out of your price range” is that you never know when your fortunes may change. Having tried on watches of various styles/prices can be helpful when you are finally able to pull the trigger.

Great video as usual, Teddy. Very entertaining.

Well done on the 1 million subscribers Teddy! You are genuinely the best watch KZfaqr out there.

Congratulations on one million Teddy, well deserved.

Teddy I wish you continued success with both the online and in-person store.

11:50 I love that touch of the clocks showing the times for Cleveland and the Glashutte

Your answer to Boutique Etiquette was phenomenal. Thank you.

Congrats on the 1 Million marker! Love your videos!

Congratulations on reaching a million subscribers it's well deserved!

Congratulations on the subscriptions. Amazing! The white Speedmaster is beautiful. Didn’t think I would deviate from the OG but I really like it. 😎

I got the speedmaster white dial one in Paris! This watch celebrates my 30th anniversary with my lovely wife and our 50th birthday!!! 🥳 it’s so special and I’m lucky to get a chance to buy this piece. 🤩🤩🤩

I’m Shocked… Teddy and Metal was unexpected)))

Teddy, you legend. Congrats on 1 mil.

The bit on collecting was great!

When ordering my Tudor BB i called my local AD, they didn't have the one i wanted but let me come in and try some on. Since they knew i was interested, and called a head the experience was awesome. Ordered the black bay i wanted and didnt feel rushed or intimidated. Good question though cause initially i was worried i wouldn't "fit in"

You haven't done this style of video in a while, but asking your wife's opinion on certain watches was a fun genre

I own several Rolex, Omega, IWC, Sieko, G-Shock watches, etc. I can honestly say, I pick up my Speedy more often than most. I wear it with the bracelet, or various nato bands. I just love the iconic look. I will be purchasing the white face immediately. Thank you for sharing and congrats on 1MM subscribers!

Thanks Teddy ! You're terrific !

I love the white dial. Surprised that it took this long for this to come out. Glad to hear your store is doing well. I grew up in Westlake! Cleveland rocks!

I wouldn't complain if Teddy gifted me a white speedy :)

Love your musical interests and learning more about you as a person! I have been getting a lot into Cuban music with its fusion influences and jazz undertones.

Thanks Teddy, great video as always. Espeacially appreciate your response to the "when is enough" question. Very validating and great life advice in general. Thanks! =)

This migh have been your best video so far.

Go Teddy Go !!! Congrats Again!!!

Just when you think Teddy can't get any better, he has a stellar and diverse taste in music too 😁

I recently got a nice chunk of unexpected money and one of my first thoughts was im going to buy myself another watch but not just another casio i want a 500 - 700 dollar watch which is a lot of money for me. After calculating all the other good things i need to do with this money and bills etc... i decided i cannot treat myself in this way which made me sad for a day or so but then it got me thinking about my collection now and how much i really do love and appreciate it. As affordable as my collection is im ok with that. For now at least :) one day i hope to get the dream watch its just not the right time yet.

Hey Teddy, We visited Westlake from Toledo this past Saturday. The store is TOP NOTCH! Will was very knowledgeable and polite. It helped me identify what my holy grail watch is (and rule out another). I'll be returning soon.

Your explanation of the differences between the Omega Co-Axial and the GS new escapement features and purpose: wow ! Thanks !

1 Million, Congrats!!!

Teddy congratulations on your new store. I’m a new watch collector and I watch all your videos to learn. I would love to be working in a watch store one day.

Congratulations on your milestone of one million subscribers!

Teddy and team, Congratulations on hitting the 1M subscriber's milestone!!! Purchasing my fifteenth watch from your team in two weeks. They make excellent gifts for family members. Best wishes to Jon and Will for their superb customer service.

1M! Congratulations! 1 million subs and a brick and mortar store. 2024 is looking good. Your hard work on your passion shows.

Really learn a lot from your videos, any advice on to where to know about new watch releases?

Congrats on 1Mio Subs your videos are the best 👏

Congrats on 1MM, Teddy! Been here since about 50K I think, and you've vene transformational in my watch journey so thanks for all the amazing content you've made. Ps, hearing you primarily listen to metal / metalcore got me so excited haha. The new Boundaries album is out today, Death Is Little More, great hardcore / metalcore. Also Erra's new album Cure soon too. Would love to hear some of the regular metal bands you listen to!

nkuwan You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much

Congrats on 1 million subscribers!!!

I tried on the white Speedmaster at an Omega boutique in London a couple weeks ago, and it looks really good. It wears just like every other Speedmaster, but the look is quite different and very cool.

I'm happy to see Teddy grow to what he is now. I got into mechanical movements because of Teddy's gateway video he posted a long time ago about Orient. I ended up picking the Orient Maestro. I fell in love with the mechanical watches and picked up a Hamilton soon after. I haven't bought another watch for another 4 years since I really loved the Hamilton but just recently got the JLC Polaris with green dial and love it more than the Hamilton. I'm probably not going to buy another watch for awhile but will be saving up for my end game watch which is a patek Philippe. Cheers Teddy!

One millions achieved by doing something you love. Must feel amazing...congratulations!

I did not have you pegged as a metal fan Teddy but I admire you even more now!!!! 😂

Would love a women’s watch video especially if you could recommend ones with smaller dials! Love your content.

Yay million subs congrats!🎉

A must have for my collection!!!

Jeff Beck and King Crimson. Wow. Never expected that. Great taste Teddy in Music sir.

Congratulations! 1M subs!

Big Congrats Teddy! 1500€ or under: The Twelve by Christopher Ward. Reliable movement and beautifully finished. The Best Quartz: Longines VHP: Best Accuracy at +-5 sec a year and comes in 3 digit price range, GMT models can even be set with Morse Code and are the most practical GMTs with easy switch between home and travel modes. VHP models also have the low power feature wherein you pull the crown and keep it to rest, when you push it back it goes to the current time. Also has a perpetual calendar until 2399 AD.

That caption is top-tier clickbait, but doesn't take anything away from the usual top-tier quality of Teddy's content.

Congrats on a milli 🥂

Congrats on 1 million!

Imho: king for high end quartz: Bulova, the sweeping second hand precisionist models. It’s the only quartz models I wear other than automatic. Those sweeping second hand models are mesmerizing to see in person.

- Teddy, lovely clean watches.........sort of totally streamlined looks much thanks Sir,

Teddy into metal core! Go Go!

Congrats on 1 Milli Teddy! The seiko spb143 is the best $1,200 I spent. I recently picked up the higher end version sje093 which is on its own level but it doesn’t replace the spb143. It’s worth every penny and I’m getting +/- 2 sec on both watches.

Its actually kind of funny you mention trying a watch on that you're not going to buy just yet because my first time going to a boutique I was looking at the green aqua terra, because I wanted to compare it to a grand seiko I was looking at. I tell them up front, hey I'm here to browse and understand my options, and they were extremely friendly and understanding. They hand me the watch and I look to the window, hoping for some direct sunlight. No dice. I hand the watch back to them and explain my hang up. The guy looks me dead in the eye and says, just take it outside (this is a single branch jeweler on a main street in a small town). I start laughing and thinking this guy is either really trusting or a moron. I point out I could just run away with it, he just laughs, and I go outside with this beautiful watch, I start playing with the angles and the sunlight, and my god the green dial just pops beautifully, I go back inside and hand the watch back, this guy starts pulling out other watches for me examine in direct light, knowing full well I'm not buying. Really cool guys, but be up front with them. I'm saving up for a 41mm green aqua terra, mostly because I got the opportunity to be outside with it and appreciate it.

Congratulations!!!

Bruno Söhnle out of Glasshutte makes high-end quartz watches too, very nicely decorated movements

Successfully pre-ordered this watch from Exquisite Timepieces! The wait begins!!!!!!

Great vid. Will you be going to W&W this year?
