Some great choices here Teddy. I do love the Longines Master Calendar Chronograph, the 40mm wears so much smaller on the wrist than the measurements would indicate. It does take a little time to get your head round all the hands but once done is surprisingly easy to read. Incredible what you get for the money. I also love the Oris rectangle.

My first luxury watch was the Omega Globemaster in blue! What a gem! I don't understand why it isn't as popular as it should be...

The Longines Master Calendar Chrono comes in 40 and 42mm. Regarding the calendar function, you still have to manually change the day and date on month's that end on the 30th. I would call it a day-date-month calendar rather than an annual.

All things aside, I love that piece and it's my first automatic watch. Thank you for featuring it on your channel and giving it the attention it deserves!

The absence of Rolex is like a breath of fresh air.

Love the look of the Frederique Constant. The round edge to the case gives it a look that's really similar to the IWC Portofino but clearly at a lower price point... and with the moonphase it is worth some serious consideration.

[papachung]

100% agreed on that Globemaster. I love the “pie pan” shape of the dial, reminds me of the old Constellation

[balesjo]

I love these videos. I tend to lean toward the formal look and was glad to see you featured the King Seiko (wonderful watch) and the Oris Rectangular (great alternative would be the Longines Dolce Vita). I really like the color choices for the Oris and the look is seriously "tank".

I just love that Teddy doesn’t do videos that talk about rich peoples collection with their Rolex, Patek, AP. He really thinks of the modern collector and so much brand variety. Who else tells you to collect a G-Shock? Keep rocking it Teddy!

Great video, I really enjoy every single one of them. One idea how to make them even better, at least in my opinion. Maybe put a picture of all the watches for a particular persona once you are done with it, it will give us a better overview. Just a simple picture with basic dimensions and price. Keep it up, really great videos.

Christopher ward is one of my favorite brands.
IMHO, the brand ticks all the boxes at 1000-3000 € price range with their catalogue.
Love my C63 Sealander Elite. 😎
Tudor is still a safe choice. You can’t go wrong picking a Tudor.
The Farer Markham world timer is just an amazing and refreshing design with great specs. 👌

I would love to see more breitling and tag heuer. Maybe review the aqua racer?

[faelmayrink]

Your content is really good. Recording both short and long videos makes your channel more versatile. I really like it

The Mido is a splendid alternative to the Certina at 39.5mm. I just bought the Ocean Star Tribute on the mesh bracelet. Most pleasing.

[westhavenor]

That Omega Globemaster is a beauty! Had a Seamaster 300, but the hockey puck case/bezel catches on everything and hangs on shirt sleeves so I sold it.

[Alex-rpfu]

A lot of thought went into this video, the personas categories was very interesting. Awesome work!

[chrispy]

The Longines Master Chronograph is So SO SOO gorgeous!!! Ugh.. so pretty!

[kobedayao]

Absolutely spot on video, Teddy. Would love to see you add another persona though, a "Tool Watch Fanatic" kind. Someone who just loves rugged designs and watches that are meant for more than just wrist candy. Cheers.
