Watch Shopping With An Unlimited Budget With Teddy Baldassarre

And then of course, I crushed you like the cockroach you are. I just took off. I was a chicken once, now I'm a cockroach. I'm changing. Here I am, one-zero already. I don't agree. You know, Teddy, the funny thing is, you're living with this inventory every day, and I come in and just crush you. You started as a cockroach, now you're a grasshopper. One day you could be a mouse. This is fantastic; he moves up the evolutionary scale. This sucks!

Hey, Mr. Wonderful here, and I'm in Cleveland, Ohio. What am I doing in Cleveland? Well, I had to see it with my own eyes; it's Teddy's new watch boutique. Now let me tell you why this is amazing. As you know, the watch industry is over 200 years old, and they move slower than turtles. I mean, turtles are speed masters compared to the watch industry. What that means is opening up a new brick-and-mortar retail location anywhere in the world is next to impossible because you need multiple brands to cooperate. You need to get the licenses to become an authorized dealer; it's almost impossible.

But Teddy pulled it off. He started years ago negotiating; he was in the watch industry online, direct-to-consumer, but he wanted to go brick and mortar. The thing about brick and mortar, that's when you become real. That's when you get the actual status, authorized dealer. Then the brands come rolling in because they want to be part of what you're doing. And here we are in Cleveland; he's establishing a watch brand here. Smart move; there's not a lot of competition. There's some, but not a lot. That's the whole idea. When you ask why Cleveland, so I flew into town to check it out today. Let's go look inside; let's see what he's selling.

I love this! I absolutely love this! Imagine Teddy with his own watch store. Who knew?

Kevin: "Teddy, how are you? Welcome in. Congratulations; hug it out, man! Your own store, how crazy, huh?"

Teddy: "Thank you! It's been five years since we met each other in Cleveland, and you were talking about it when we were in Miami. We first met each other that one day you'd have brick and mortar. I said, 'Ain't going to happen.' Well, here we are."

Kevin: "Hardest thing to do. There's been a lot of joys with opening this store, but one of the greatest joys will be beating you in a shopping episode in my store!"

Teddy: "Great idea! You've got multiple brands; you might as well do it. So, this is what we're going to do. What are the rules this time?"

Kevin: "Rules this time: we have five different sections we can go to. Five watches each, right? No budget. Yeah, best collection wins?"

Teddy: "Best collection based on retail price? No, just based on whatever consumers will like."

Kevin: "I've kicked your butt on this every time we've done it! Teddy, it's been a year in the making. I have home-field advantage this time. I am ready to go!"

Teddy: "You may know every piece, but you don't have my eye for dial, so I'm going to kill you again."

Kevin: "Listen, I don't mind you trying; you got to keep trying. That's really what you should be doing: making the effort. But it's a slaughter fest!"

Teddy: "We'll let the people decide that."

Kevin: "Alright, don't listen to this man; he does this every time. Don't get wooed by him. Coin flip; I'll let you do the honors."

Teddy: "Alright, call it when you flip it."

Kevin: "That's a first! First person that D – I might keep this. Is this a silver dollar?"

Teddy: "Right, it is! That's beautiful. All we got: heads and tails here; you call it."

Kevin: "Alright, winner will get to go at the store first. Go for it."

Teddy: "Tails!"

Kevin: "Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Tails, so you go! So what happens is you go to a brand, you choose first, and I choose second."

Teddy: "Yes, okay, let's go! Alright, then when we go to the next brand, do I choose first?"

Kevin: "Yes, that's fair!"

Teddy: "So we alternate back?"

Kevin: "We'll alternate back and forth. So, let's start with Breitling; we're just here in the front of the store."

Teddy: "So I'm looking; is there some rhyme or reason as to why they're at the front of the store? Because I obviously—"

Kevin: "You've negotiated with multiple brands here; I've noticed that right away."

Teddy: "You've got some really heavy hitters in here. What was it like just working with them, deciding positioning?"

Kevin: "It's a back-and-forth game. You know, you have to make everybody happy. You also have to think about what's going to grab the eye of somebody. One thing that's great about Breitling is they're very well distributed and known in the United States. You need something that when somebody walks by, what's going to be that head turn? Not to say that Grand Seiko isn't that, but Breitling I think has just been known in this market for a longer period of time."

Teddy: "But what about the front window? The front window you have to consider all of those elements. So you come into a contract about who gets front window, who gets that space. Every square foot of this space was talked about, right?"

Kevin: "No doubt! Well, that's the hassle about brick and mortar; why so many people can't do it. It's not easy. I must say it looks spectacular, it's a beautiful space. There's no question."

Teddy: "And Breitling's—I mean, we'll talk a bit about watches, but I always just love how much of an impression this gives you, too, with the bricks."

Kevin: "We were holding these bricks in our warehouse for three, four weeks. Yeah, I mean those are real bricks; that's not a fake wallpaper you're seeing there. Those are real bricks that are being installed."

Teddy: "Okay, so that's the first brand we're going to go through?"

Kevin: "Yeah, I mean I'm just, you know, following my eye here. So I mean you're choosing first, Teddy. I know this is a great responsibility when it comes to picking first with you. Kevin, it's a little bit of a risk, but I might go dive watch to begin."

Teddy: "Yeah, that could be interesting, so I'm going to head over here. I'm thinking Superocean Heritage green dial. I had my eye on that."

Kevin: "I had my eye on that! I have now become telepathic in terms of understanding. I may have to forbid that selection!"

Teddy: "That's not how this works; we discuss the rules. I'm going to go with this green Superocean."

Kevin: "Well, there you have it! Very interesting! A wise man once told me it's all about the dial."

Teddy: "It is about the dial, you're right! I think I'm already on the second lap; Kevin has not even gotten started with this pick. Very nice! What do you think, Kevin?"

Kevin: "That's very nice, very nice choice!"

Teddy: "Number one: Breitling Superocean."

Kevin: "Alright, now I've also scanned the universe. I've scanned the universe and I'm very partial to Grand Seiko. I got a much better eye for Grand Seiko than you have! You're kind of—"

Teddy: "The head keeps getting bigger and bigger; you're scaling beyond belief!"

Kevin: "I'm known for telling the truth, Teddy—what can I say? You know, you may not like the truth, but it's still the truth."

Teddy: "Okay, so in this case, you've got some really interesting things starting to happen dial-wise because I'm looking for something that pops and speaks to me."

Kevin: "I know where you're going to go—the red dial."

Teddy: "Okay, going for the Top Time, exactly! And it's really, you know, I don't care what the retail price on it is. To me, it's the dial that really speaks out, and it still keeps some of the heritage of the brand. Top Time is another whole reference within their chronograph family. A lot of racing, you know, inspiration here."

Kevin: "You see like Shelby? I see it as a sporty look! Of course, I will eventually convert it to a red band; that's the whole idea. Everything I have is a red band; everybody knows that time is red!"

Teddy: "You know, here I am, one-zero already! I don't agree!"

Kevin: "Oh, listen, you can decide; there's no question though—I won already!"

Teddy: "It's a pretty good pick, actually!"

Kevin: "Of course! I should have known this guy would have red!"

Teddy: "Okay, so let's put that down as my first choice. Okay, thank you very much. Breitling picks are in; let's go!"

Kevin: "Alright, where are we going? Let's go Grand Seiko!"

Teddy: "Oh, are you kidding? I'm the master in Grand Seiko! Teddy, you have no chance whatsoever!"

Kevin: "I actually, I'm feeling sorry for you now. I mean Grand Seiko? Are you kidding? I go Grand Seiko; I go all the way to Credor! This is a brand I absolutely love. And the crazy thing about this is, five years ago, it's you that introduced me to Grand Seiko and then of course—"

Teddy: "I crushed you like the cockroach you are!"

Kevin: "I just took off! I was a chicken once; now I'm a cockroach; I'm changing to grasshoppers! I love this brand, the quality. And I've gone, as you have, over to Japan. I've seen the fact. I've met the executives; this brand is incredible for what it offers in value. The finishing! And this is a vertically integrated manufacturer, so everything is made in Japan."

Teddy: "I've seen beautiful—the quality, the crunch, as I call it—and the dials are fantastic! These guys are fantastic dial makers!"

Kevin: "Well, let's remember whose turn it is, Teddy! The cockroach needs to pick first. Let's see."

Teddy: "Okay, let's wait a second. You picked first; now it's me!"

Kevin: "No, we're not doing a snake pick; it's back and forth. I won the coin toss, so it's my turn again."

Teddy: "Why do you get to go twice?"

Kevin: "No, wait a second! You chose first on the Breitling!"

Teddy: "Yes, and I get to go again."

Kevin: "You mean everyone? You're first!"

Teddy: "Absolutely! This sucks! I'm getting screwed here! I'm never coming back to the store again."

Kevin: "It's over between us; my store, my rules, baby! Let's go! Alright, then we go to the next brand. Do I choose first?"

Teddy: "Yes, that's fair!"

Kevin: "Yes, so we alternate back..."

Teddy: "Alternate back and forth. Okay, so I'm looking between two different watches here. This is brand new; this is the first time actually seeing this in the case. They just put this in here today, so I'm tempted there. But I also saw your red pick!"

Kevin: "Don't even go there, Teddy! Don't even think about red! You don't deserve red!"

Teddy: "I'm thinking I want to supplant your red pick with my own red pick!"

Kevin: "So that is going to be the SBJ 273, I believe, for that one. So I'm going to pick that out! High beat, beautiful red dial! I love high beat—it’s a good pick. You know I love Grand Seiko; I just—the polish on the steel is insane!"

Teddy: "Seeing how they do it; like zaratsu polishing. Because if you look at polishing wheels, it’s usually a left and right motion, soft wheel, but this is—it’s metal on metal, and they are just going in and they such a beautiful contrast. I mean, you can always see the time right out of the corner of your eye."

Kevin: "All the markers on that dial individually finished; they have to line this up on a drum and they're hitting every one of those facets. I saw this in person; remarkable to see the hand, and still—they still can go to high production; they can make a lot of units, which is so hard to do. Still exclusive, but yes, you know they can scale production!"

Teddy: "Yes, that's fantastic! My good luck charm! Alright, you have some ground to make up."

Kevin: "I know, but it's not going to be a problem for me, Teddy! Not at all, not at all! I saw something here getting the light coming in. You should know; this is very interesting, very interesting. Let’s have a look at this blue dial."

Teddy: "They do such a great job on that because that's very striking! That looks 38 or 39!"

Kevin: "It's actually 37 on that case; right in the middle! Little—little smaller case! That's one of the main—not worried about small! I mean we're going back; you know, that's what's happening for men! And the price on that, too. I mean you're talking about right under $5,000 for that watch—I mean it's incredible value! 9S64 moving on the inside!"

Teddy: "Yeah, it's beautiful! This is it for me! It speaks to me! You see, I don't care about price with Grand Seiko; I'm guaranteed quality at any price!"

Kevin: "Absolutely, so for under $6,000, this is a fantastic watch and is going to go into my collection and crush you! So you went for a more pure take of Grand Seiko."

Teddy: "No dial texture, very classic 1960s look! Look at how beautifully it's polished! It's whether you pay $15,000, $17,000, or $5,000; you're getting incredible polish; it's amazing!"

Kevin: "So I like it; I'm going to take that. Okay, blue, D, so blue and red so far! Alright, that's Kevin's second on this contest! It's great! I like that."

Teddy: "Alright, where are we going?"

Kevin: "So let’s go left and we’ll finish up on the right at the end. So what do you know about Glashütte Original, Kevin?"

Teddy: "It’s the brand that nobody knows how to pronounce! Another German maker, right?"

Kevin: "That's correct! Glashütte is the original origin of many of these brands. So 1845, this is where this region really came to be. It's a small little space; Glashütte has 5,000 people, but you have over ten watch brands that call it home. You're getting for a price less than a Rolex in many cases; artisanal finishing and incredible value. It's maybe one of the hidden gems in watchmaking."

Teddy: "Love it! It's probably true, but they haven't really established themselves yet in North America. That's work to be done, obviously! But I guess if they come into your store, they look at this and say, 'What is this? Tell me about it!' And it becomes a talking item for sure."

Kevin: "It does! It does! Like just to show you an example, I mean I'll just throw this out here because this is great. This is a Panomatic inverse. How the story goes with this is there was a customer that wanted a watch and they wanted to look at their movement on the front side. So they put it on the front of the watch; it's a bit of a skeleton vibe to it."

Teddy: "It does have that, but you're getting engraved balance bridge; yeah, insane! I mean this is done by hand, and I saw an artisan doing this by hand in Glashütte."

Kevin: "They produce 95% of their components—nice clean dials! What are the price points on these?"

Teddy: "That's the crazy thing; most of the things you're seeing here, under $15,000, incredible!"

Kevin: "You know, it's so unfair that you're choosing first again! I mean obviously, how about this? You tried to rig the contest, but my eye will still beat you."

Teddy: "You know what? No, what we'll do? No, what we'll do? We'll do a little modification. I am so confident that I'm going to win; I'll actually let you pick first this time. How about that?"

Kevin: "That's good, but that cockiness will cost you!"

Teddy: "I don't know who's setting the standard for cockiness; you came in here talking up a storm! So go ahead!"

Kevin: "Yeah, I mean look, there's so much to choose from here. You've got a great selection, very, very interesting! No question about it! And some beautiful dials! These get a little more expensive now; these are the gold pieces."

Teddy: "And what is that?"

Kevin: "That is just under 30,000! Um, let’s pull that out; let me—okay, we'll pull out the calendar so we’ll do that! Let's have a look at that and I think the real beautiful thing about this watch, too, is when you flip it around and you can see the movement; I want to see it. That's why because I actually haven't seen that piece before."

Teddy: "So same deal here? Yeah, engraved balance bridge, 21-karat gold oscillating weight. You also—I like what they do with that rotor; it's offset on the side, so allows to keep it thin! Full calendar, you have a panorama date; beautiful finish. Beautiful crunch! And then, you also—along the side, those are your months, so you have that month indicator on the outside."

Kevin: "Yeah, very good with the balance of the dial too."

Teddy: "Well, I hate to break your heart, Kevin, this is my choice!"

Kevin: "No! I'm so sorry! I mean, it's probably the most expensive thing in the case!"

Teddy: "It doesn't matter; it's the dial that's so unique, and it's going with my collection! I've already got an inventory of what I have already, so I want to make sure this is completely different—also gold! So you know—very, very nice! Alright, that's my selection."

Kevin: "Okay, what—a clean approach—the last two picks; exactly! I have been seeing this theme of color so far; I was surprised you didn't pick that."

Teddy: "I was going to, but then I thought, 'Oh, then you were going to say people say all he's doing is color, color, color!' So I'm trying to make sure that I'm going dial as well. So it's a very clean white dial on gold. Beautiful! I'm also a dial guy myself; I've been told that as well!"

Kevin: "You've been learning, grasshopper!"

Teddy: "Yeah, yeah! Well, what color are grasshoppers typically, Kevin?"

Kevin: "Well listen, you're not a cockroach anymore! You've elevated yourself to a grasshopper!"

Teddy: "I'm a grasshopper now! Great! So we are shape-shifting! I am going to go with the green Panomatic!"

Kevin: "Beautiful! Well look, we—I match a gold on gold! Now I don't get a full calendar, but I do get this striking—I noticed that cause I did think that, but I said I'm going to go with the full complication."

Teddy: "You know what? I'm going to—Tove, it’s probably one of their El Primero pieces. I'm going to save $10,000 price, too!"

Kevin: "I love the gold moon on that one; you have the blue sky which is nice and sharp. I also like how my panorama date has a different, you know, backdrop for its color. These German dial designers are going for big, bold numbers, which I think really work well!"

Teddy: "There are snobs out there that don’t want to buy a German watch because they think it has to be Swiss. They’re completely missing; anybody that knows what they’re talking about knows Glashütte as an incredible powerhouse of watchmaking. They make as good of watches as anybody!"

Kevin: "These are two great selections! We went right into the same case! We went to the higher end on this brand!"

Teddy: "I had to! I had to punch back!"

Kevin: "No, I get it; it's not about the money, Teddy! Never about the money! You know I've bought some of these entry-level watches; I met with you at low prices. Some of my favorites in the collection? I wear them all the time in Miami! They're just funky chicken watches!"

Teddy: "So what do you guys think at home? Do you think Kevin should go first again? I mean, I don't think he took full advantage. I think we have to maybe give him another chance!"

Kevin: "I definitely think so! Why not? It's only fair. You want to be fair? So let's go to the back of house; I'll let you attack it first!"

Teddy: "Let's push the chairs back in to follow protocol here. We have a brand that's my first watch ever. You know the Moonwatch 1975; Teddy, I still have it in my collection! That's why I love this brand! So what are we adding today, Kevin? What are we thinking?"

Kevin: "This is going to be a little harder because you've got such a wide selection here! This is fantastic! You know you've got the Devil, the DeVille, you have Constellation—I have a Constellation on my wrist right now, so I'm a big proponent of that! However, I think I'm going to go classic, right back to what people love about Omega; uh, the heritage of the brand, the classic Moonwatch!"

Teddy: "You're going for a Sapphire version?"

Kevin: "Okay, Sapphire sandwich, yeah! You're going for a very pure, straightforward approach today! I'm used to craziness from you!"

Teddy: "I know, but I think what you're going to find out today when I clean you up out on this contest is that people are really moving toward the purest vibe these days."

Kevin: "People usually say that I have that approach, but I'm trying to match the craziness of Kev! You see, this is such a classic piece, recognizable from yards away! Everybody knows this style; that's beautiful!"

Teddy: "Yeah, the sapphire, it's fantastic; yeah! So you get to see the 3861 on the backside!"

Kevin: "I mean it’s just, I mean this watch is going to sell first out of this collection! Somebody's going to walk in here and say, 'I've got to have that!' That's what's going to happen!"

Teddy: "Yeah, these are insane! I mean if you look at 'watch' in the dictionary, I mean it's this right there! I mean it's a beautiful watch! Can go on; that's my choice!"

Kevin: "That's fantastic! Okay, okay! So you want Speedmaster? No, you're out of Speedmaster now 'cause if you get too shot, I couldn't do this; it would be a big mistake for you to do that!"

Teddy: "So I have a dive watch! Yeah, the problem right now is I feel a chronograph is the missing part of the formula, but I do not want to copy you!"

Kevin: "Yeah, that would be a huge mistake! Guarantee you lose again, Kevin!"

Teddy: "Are you a dial guy? I don't know if you ever mentioned that!"

Kevin: "Those are great dials, too! I'm going to show you maybe one of the best dials here! Let's get this side of the moon out!"

Teddy: "Yeah, it's not—but I agree with you; it's a beautiful piece; the Speedmaster is fantastic!"

Kevin: "Hold on, we’ll pull out—John, if you could check that out? Very nice, very nice! It’s a little bit large for my wrist, I noticed; I mean, you know—but I mean I think I light lightweight though with ceramic—it's quite a thick watch as well!"

Teddy: "It is; it’s a chronograph! Yeah, I mean that dial is pretty special though! It's very special! And ceramic is very—if you don’t have a ceramic watch, it’s interesting to get into this, you know?"

Kevin: "So I get a different case material; I get a dial, and that’s spectacular! Yeah, and I get a chronograph, all in one! And I be—Kevin, it could help you, but qum—it could help you, but Grand Slam? No, I don't think so! I think but it's nice! I'm going to give you that; I'm going to give you that!"

Teddy: "Okay, it's a nice attempt! Kevin is very good at talking himself up; he can't give credit!"

Kevin: "I've given you credit! How many—have we done now? Four—"

Teddy: "That's four! So we have one final stop!"

Kevin: "Okay, so this is a space known as our Teddy space, but this is—we have; this is all brands! So we have a warehouse down the street, and when anybody wants to see something on our website and they want to have an appointment, this is where we can pull things over keep! Have a sit down. These are all of the different brands you've brought forward over the years as entry level pieces?"

Teddy: "Yes, and we sell over thirty brands, so we want to make sure that we can still keep part of our identity. This is a cross-brand interesting idea! So if they want to come into the store and see them, you've got one of everything here! So we don't have everything 'cause we carry over thirty brands—hundreds and hundreds of watches! But if you ever wanted to book an appointment, we could pull anything out and get it out for you, so you wanted to take a closer look! And some of these brands here you don't have distribution!"

Kevin: "Well, this is going to be the brick of rock. It's going to be lots of fun here because there's so much to choose from! We have a lot of options! So we put out some fun things for you to get lost in!"

Teddy: "Kevin, remember we talked about this looking so much like a Patek you know?"

Kevin: "No, I mean it's TV big day; that's what they call that!"

Teddy: "No, I know! But it's for you know, obviously you're wearing that across the room!"

Kevin: "Oh yeah! I mean, you know, oh yeah! And it looks a little bit like an Aquanaut to me, and that's a Hamilton up there. You have a Hamilton bronze, which you own, correct?"

Teddy: "I own, and I tell you it's actually a fantastic value!"

Kevin: "It is! That watch is just over $800; I know! And it looks beautiful! And people ask me; they stop me sometimes when I'm riding! I wear also wear it when I'm riding my bike in Miami! I wear the Hamilton; people say, 'Oh my goodness, that's fantastic! What is it?'"

Teddy: "Um, I think you're choosing first now, right?"

Kevin: "No, I'm going to let you go again because I think I just smoked you on the last pick!"

Teddy: "No, no! Not at all! I mean that's just—look, you can talk it up, but it doesn't matter! When the voting comes in, you'll be crying like a grown man again!"

Kevin: "But something else has just caught my eye! Okay, back there, the black dial!"

Teddy: "Yes, that is a Yung Hans Max Bill; that was one of my gateways into the Hublot watch, you know?"

Kevin: "You know what? I'm taking that! Just over $1,000 in that range for that watch, but that is a piece unique in terms of look!"

Teddy: "So do you know the story about this watch?"

Kevin: "I don't! But you know I've learned a lot about these entry-level watches! I've always said, 'Why am I spending my time? They're not collectible!' But I have a lot of them now because of you! I bought these because the dials are absolutely spectacular!"

Teddy: "So this comes off of a design; there’s a wall clock first! It was by the Swiss designer Max Bill; he went to the Bauhaus School of Design, famous School of Design! We see a lot of inspiration from Apple to many other inspirations throughout design today! But it started as a wall clock, and I love how you can see it on the wrist! The reason why you probably saw it in there and gravitated towards it was just because you have the curvature of the dial! You have this dome crystal; it just pops out at you! It’s very simple but very elegant, and I think a beautiful piece that a lot of people would be surprised to see because they haven't seen anything like it!"

Kevin: "It's a very nice style; that's absolutely gorgeous! It's a classy take; I like it!"

Teddy: "Yeah, good! I got it! Alright! Again crushing you like the cockroach you are!"

Kevin: "You're back from grasshopper down to—"

Teddy: "We're going to send back up to grasshopper! I might as well send into a butterfly after my next pick here! We'll see you know!"

Kevin: "Teddy, the funny thing is—you’re living with this inventory every day, and I come in and just crush you because the eye and the dial work together so quickly! You know it's like I'm AI dial, chat GPT!"

Teddy: "Yeah, uh, yeah, let's see! Um, this watch here in the front; this changed the landscape of affordable GMT watches! So mechanical GMTs and the brand—this is Seiko 4R34 movement! Comes out a couple years ago; you now can get a mechanical GMT watch well under $500! I'm going to go for this one!"

Kevin: "That crazy; that's such, that’s a—and you know the thing about Seiko; you know you’re getting quality!"

Teddy: "You are; that’s the one thing I'll say about that brand over and over again! The Japanese, they just know how to do it! So I'm going to pick that! That’s the SSK 003!"

Kevin: "Alright, pull that out! Let's have a look at it; I don't think I've ever seen the piece!"

Teddy: "It's a fan favorite; people love this! I think it's a staple; it was right in front, must sell a lot of these!"

Kevin: "Oh people love it! People love it! So retail is $475 for that! Unbelievable! Seiko, you guys just kill it! I mean, it's just fantastic! It's great because it gets people into watch collecting at an affordable entry-level price with a spectacular dial! I like it—not as good as my pick but pretty good!"

Teddy: "I have two GMTs, but I travel a lot. Probably—we'll see!"

Kevin: "Okay, so this is what we're going to do, Teddy. We'll put all of the watches in front of us. We'll tally up the total amount, and we'll let you decide who! Let's have a look! Smack talk! We'll let them—"

Teddy: "No, no, there's no trash talk here! It's just victory and loss! We'll see! Let's go! Let's not get depressed about it! You can't win all the time!"

Kevin: "I'm very happy!"

Teddy: "I'm sure you are! You got to talk! You have to say, look, talk your book; it's okay!"

Kevin: "Then we see the winning lineup here—it really meshes together beautifully and some fantastic selections!"

Teddy: "I don't want this to go to my head! I never do! But crushing you again—I don't feel good about it! Okay, let's go through them all; we'll give the total!"

Kevin: "So let's go through yours first! You have Breitling Top Time, then you have a Grand Seiko, SGW clean—"

Teddy: "Not the most expensive!"

Kevin: "No, no! It's actually one of the more entry-level pieces from a mechanical! Then you have the calendar Panomatic; probably one of the best watches in your store here."

Teddy: "I don't disagree with you; it's a phenomenal watch!"

Kevin: "Speedmaster, classic Sapphire version, Sapphire, and this little gem I found—Max Bill Auto!"

Teddy: "Yeah, yeah, beautiful! It's a sharp watch! So your total is $51,340!"

Kevin: "There you have it! So now my watches: Breitling Superocean, Grand Seiko GMT, Panomatic Lunar Gold, Omega Speedmaster, and then we finish off with the SSK GMT. My total, Kevin, you went a little spending crazy. I shaved off $400; I was at $50,9125!"

Teddy: "It's remarkable how close these are—"

Kevin: "Even though we were not even guiding ourselves by retail price!"

Teddy: "Yes, we were just going with where our eyes were taking us! But these are—it’s $100,000 plus with the watches here! But phenomenal value! If this was your collection, imagine how much diversity if anybody owned all these together!"

Kevin: "They’d have a watch for every occasion! So the question now is, you all have to decide who won! I have the home field advantage; I think I won!"

Teddy: "I know these pieces very well! Don't be arrogant now! Listen, don't feel bad about crushing Teddy again! The great thing, being crushed over and over again, gives you motivation! It keeps him going! One day, one day he might win; it's not going to be today, but there's always the future!"

Kevin: "I'll be back! We'll have the contest again! Teddy, don't get depressed about this; I'm a jolly grasshopper!”

Teddy: "I'm a grasshopper! It's great! You started as a cockroach; now you're a grasshopper. One day you could be a mouse! This is fantastic; he moves up the evolutionary scale! Remember, it's all about collecting, and it's all about the dial. You do not have to go crazy spending a ton of money—we proved that today! And never borrow money to buy a watch; I always say that! Teddy, you agree with me?"

Teddy: "I do agree, yeah! I do agree. And I want to add something here; I'm buying this piece. I want to support Teddy; I fell in love with this thing! Every time we get together, he costs me something! I love this; it's got to come back to my collection! I'm going to wear this a lot; I love it!"

Kevin: "Of course it's going to end up with a red band on it!"

Teddy: "We can work on that, yeah! Because you know, think about it; it's a black dial, and it's going to look great with a red. It's sharp! That's a tuxedo watch right there!"

Kevin: "Yeah, beautiful! You can find me a red band, right? We can make it happen!"

Teddy: "Alright, there you have it! He's on a sale! You know, give the loser something—charity!"

Kevin: "I'm getting charity, but I don't—I don't need your—"

Teddy: "It's not charity! I'm buying it to support the store! Come on, Teddy, it was fantastic! Fantastic!"

Kevin: "Yeah, that's great! Let us know—comments down below! Thanks, guys!"
