The BEST Watch Tools & Accessories Every Watch Collector NEEDS To Own

Very cool video, much needed content that rarely get talked about... Thanks a lot! :)

Thanks for this rich video as always you are the best. The magnifier tool, i use my smartphone to zoom in take a picture and zoom more to check the alignment and imperfection specially when you go to shop for the Seiko!!! if it is aligned and without imperfection this mean it is a fake Seiko.

I've literally just started my watch journey. I bought 1 timex and haven't stopped looking for the perfect watch, I still haven't seen it so I have a lathe, mill and movements on the way. I know I made a mistake after changing the leather strap, with quick release spring bars, I put the metal bracelet on and instantly panicked that I'd never be able to remove it. Figured I'll just leave it and make something else.

Great video, teddy! Quick question! Does the cape cod cloth work on rose gold or gold polished dials? Or will it give that buffed look to the dial if used on it? I have a Seiko kinetic novak djokovich special edition which has a gold dial and has a small scratch on it. Was wondering if this will help it or make it worse. Thanks in advance! Awaiting your response.

What's the best way to just take off fingerprints and such?

Imagine go to Seiko store and bringing loupe to find some misallignment lol

Love that you used the Duro as the example of changing straps. The straps are great quality but a terrible fit on wrist.

I can imagine that spring bar tweezers are really good for integrated bracelets

Il tanto amato Cape Code mi ha rovinato la cassa di 2 orologi attenzione che in controluce la situazione può peggiorare!

Awesome video Teddy
So informative.
Would you answer the following question next time you do a tool maintenance video please
As a frequent flyer what preparation do you do with the watches your travelling with in multiple time zones?
To be more specific - what would you wear through the airport ?
What style to wear when travelling from where I live in Australia to Canada multiple times a year.
Do you or would suggest any other trips for the watches you are personally carrying in either watch rolls or say 3 watch boxes?
Do you set dates and time ahead ?
Or leave to hack once you arrive ?
Hope I have been specific enough ?
I would also love to see more examples of the use of the tools for the collector.
As in how would you organise day a 12/24/36 watch collection ?
Do you have them broken up into keepers / sell / trade ?
Not just style wise ?
Thanks so much for your videos they simply are a MUST for anyone into watches.
🙏

Great ideas - I have everything you show except for the spring bar pliers and the watch winder. And my tool kit is cheap Chinese stuff - I should get a Bergeon set.

Teddy, I have the WINDSOR 10PC WATCH BOX but the pillows that comes with it are too small for my watches. Do you have any suggestion how to fix it or if there are replacement pillows that I can buy that would fit into the Wolf Windsor box? Thanks.

Direto e honesto.

need to mention don't use the cape cod on anything brushed.

Do you have a video on what watches we could start with if we want to start with watching making hobbies?

Another excellent video, Teddy. Thank you for the valuable information 👍🏼

lmao toolkit for 100$ you get one from amazon with 20$ and has everything

Thank you for your quality videos, really comprehensive content and clear.

Thanks Teddy. Really great and very helpful.

Did your dad compose the intro song? It’s beautiful. Where can I get the track?

A very nice informative and educative video. Thank you.

Not crazy out of touch with pricing, just regular out of touch with pricing. Wolf winders. 🤯

One of the best videos from Teddy.

Hey Teddy, thanks for all the great videos. I noticed you didn’t add the brand/model of the measuring tool and the watch roll. I would love to know what they are. Thanks

Another detail about screwdrivers that I just learned and wish the experts would mention is the shape of the screwdriver tip. There are wedge shaped and T or hollow ground. Wedge shaped may or may not go all the way into a screw slot. They can slip out and cause scratches. Particularly important on bracelet screws. T or hollow ground are kind of T shaped and the sides of the blade are parallel, so they go ll the way down to the bottom of the screw and stay put, so less likely to walk out of the slot.

Maybe a video on screwdrivers and how to deal with bracelet screws (including how to loctite) would be of interest.

Even better: instead of all of those utensils just use quick release spring bars (even with single pass straps)

Bergeon charges $172 dollars for a focking pair of tweezers, I don't mind brand premiums but this is absolutely ridiculous. I'm good with knockoffs thank you not so very much. 👎👎👎

I had multiple different watch winders. Within 6-8 months they would get noisy. By 1 year they would start breaking. I finally bit the bullet and bought a Wolf winder. Ive had it for at least 3 years and it still runs like its brand new. I will never again waste my money on an inferior product.

These are too many tools. You should not include the fancy things, like the pin pliers and the timegrapher. I have a timegrapher program on my PC, and anything else can be done by the local watch shop for a few dollars.
My tools include the springpin tool and a crown winder (for the older watches.)

How do I get my hands on that Tudor pouch.

I think a category that is sorely missing in this excellent video is Cleaning and Care. I would love a deep dive on how to keep steel, rubber, precious metals.. cleaning video

Digital calipers why? I like the mechanical analog calipers it works beautifully. Once you buy it you're set for life. If there is a zero count error it maybe because of a small burr which you can remove easily by a good old wipe.

Can anyone please help me find good quality watch spring bar kits? All of the assortment kits in Amazon seem to have the same complaints of poor quality

Excellent video. For good and sufficient reasons, I wanted to keep any notes applying to a specific watch. So, I put 1 x 3 note with each watch and then each watch in a ziplock baggie.

Berjin? Dude, I thought you were a watch expert. lol

jai teddy

Thank you so much! Your advice is always priceless.

I have never seen such a detailed and comprehensive video. Very impressive and useful. Thanks for your information and video.👏👍👌

Strapcode sells a Miltat Japanese hook spring bar tool that’s so good for seiko fat spring bars that you can do it with your eyes closed.

not a tool but a spare parts , case back gaskets , i learned for water proofing each time i regulate a mechanical watch or wanting to change a battery for quartz one i need to change the gasket. so i have a bag with many diameters for that .

I’ve seen that leather watch roll with buckle on a couple of TB videos. I cannot locate a brand name, anyone know?

The giant tweezers for the springs is a pain in the ass to use , you have been warned

Teddy, thanks so much for your wonderful videos, I really enjoy them. I’ve just recently started watching your videos, and your videos have just started me on the path of watch collecting. I’ve just ordered a Rothwell watch display case, which is really good quality. I’m now looking to purchase a box/case for all the tiny bits like watch straps and so on. What sort of box/case would you recommend for all your watch straps? Thanks so much. MD

FYI the WOLF Savoy 10-Piece Watch Box is a broken link, doesn't go to the watch box.

I think you should also mention a watch back pressor for the non-screw back. You had the knife but once opened they won't be able to put it back together :-)

For travel with a few watches (especially one bag travelers) : I wrap a microfiber between the case back and bracelet > slip that into one rolled up pair of socks > put that in a shoe or just in secure spot in your bag > Job Done! ....and doesn't take up an extra room!

I thought he was gonna talk about straps and compasses.

Hi Teddy. Which brand of watch demagnetizers would you recommend? I also need your recommendation on a Timegrapher. Which would you recommend?

Do you deliver to the UK? Thanks!
