Previously known as Maestro Fresh Wes before shortening his name to Maestro in the late 1990s, he was in 1989 the first Canadian rapper to have a Top 40 hit, "Let Your Backbone Slide". As of 2005, in fact, "Let Your Backbone Slide" remains the best-selling Canadian hip hop single of all time.

After his 1991 album, The Black Tie Affair, Maestro's career faltered as he attempted to break into the United States market. However, he returned to the Canadian charts in 1998, with the hit singles "Stick to Your Vision" and "416/905 (TO Party Anthem)".

In 2005, Maestro covered Lawrence Gowan's song "A Criminal Mind"; Gowan appears in the video and his vocals are sampled on the track.

Williams has also been an actor, most notably in the Omni Television series Metropia. As an actor, he is normally credited as either Wesley Williams, Wes Williams, or Wesley Paris. In addition, he has had small roles in Honey (2003) and Four Brothers (2005). He was set to appear as a security guard in 50 Cent's film Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005), but his scenes were deleted from the film. He has a supporting role in Instant Star as Darius Mills.

Maestro was born to Guyanese parents and was raised in Scarborough, Ontario. He has previously been romantically linked to Canadian television journalist Marci Ien.

I'm definitely gonna save up for this one! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Honestly, Teddy, It's really cool to see how successful you are becoming. Most of the other Watch-Related YouTube creators are really dismissive and condescending talking about any watch under 1000 bucks. You are enthusiastic, well-articulated, and really helpful; you've probably introduced thousands of people, including me, to this hobby, so thank you.

I agree, Teddy is the one that got me into different kinds of watches
And there is a story here, to be more open minded to all kinds of designs and not be a snob.

E. Conway Bryan

I was thinking something similar. I still remember the first Youtube video Teddy made sitting at a desk. To see his progression is awesome. And as you stated, Teddy is one of the few who have progressed to his level in horology and not become arrogant and condescending. Kudos Teddy...keep doing great things.

skzion2

Agreed.

Thank you for this kind remark, my friend. The more watches I handle the more I come to respect certain brands in this affordable tier that provide great value. They are what got me into this so I know what they can represent for others as well.

I got the white dial version as my first mechanical watch a few months ago for my 18th birthday. I think the watch in general is very versatile and looks great. Note that the white dial has a slight sunburst effect instead of this textured green version here. Although I don't really prefer the sunburst dial of mine and think it would've looked better with a dial like this one, I think it's still a great watch, with great value for the price.

I have this watch! Had trouble deciding between this beautiful green dial and the version with a white dial but ended up going with white. My first ever automatic and I couldn’t be more pleased, it’s an excellent watch. Since then I’ve “upgraded” to an Orient Star Heritage Gothic. Shoutout Orient for making great watches at an affordable price point.

I bought an Orient Helios Open Heart model in blue, my first automatic watch, about a month and a half ago. I've become a real fan of Orient. For $209, the watch really exceeded my expectations. Beautifully polished case, a blue dial that gives a feeling of depth (like a deep sapphire blue pool), and it is keeping time well, staying extremely close to my quartz Massey Tissot watch and the computer's time. Now I want a Grand Orient watch to go with it!

Daniel Z.

This is an awesome piece! I first noticed this exact version on your channel and bought it immediately for around 100 Euros here in Germany. For this money this is a real STUNNER! Love Orient and needed to add this to my collection. Thanks for showing! The green it just incredible! Such great bang for buck.

I just got one. OMG, what a beautiful watch. It's accurately captured in the video here. The dial has such complex reflections that I had problems photographing it.

Crazy. And yes, the band works stunningly well in the overall presentation.

Jackson Pitts

@James what color are you speaking of?

James

Just received mine today and videos don't do justice for this watch. Absolutely stunning dial.

Not sure if Orient changed anything but mine has a sunburst effect that doesn't really show on any of the YouTube videos. Or maybe it's just the different lighting.

PETER JOHN BRANDAL

I own the white dial with light gold accents and it's a beauty. This dial color is nice but I tend to avoid green as it only works well with white or green shirts . By the way, the hacking movement is excellent as 10 wind-ups will last for 8 hours. I have an Arbutus automatic and you have to wind that thing 32 times to get a full day of run time. I got the Orient at Jomashop for only $138, I am done with buying quartz watches.

I was planning to buy one of these due to the sizing but I got the Bambino Gen 2 as a gift. Both seem like lovely pieces

Edit: nice macros teddy. Keep doing your thing

YES ! Thank you so much Teddy. After your Orient Maestro review of last year of the white dial, I have been eye-balling this green one so badly and hesitating cause I like the color and the bracelet combo a lot. Thanks for the review :D

Francisco Ruiz

It´s quite beautiful, yes.
Your videos help me a lot, but they make the decision of choosing which watch to buy in this price range so difficult. I love them all!
Thanks for your great reviews, as usual.

Alif Burger

Teddy my man, I just want to say that I truly appreciate the beautiful macro shots you pull off in most, if not, all of your videos. It looks something off any watch ad. Also, kinda hooked to this compared to the Bambino after watching this. Keep it up!

Brian Yohanes

I just received my order. Honestly a very beautiful piece. Thanks a bunch man!

Walde O

@Teddy Baldassarre in your opinion which dial looks better this green one or the blue Orient Maestro? Also the blue does not come with the mesh strap so probably leaning towards this green one, looks amazing! I'm deciding between the Orient Maestro and Orient Symphony III. Maestro has cleaner face which does not have the water resist print and smaller case size but the hands and markers of the Symphony III have more style to them! Decisions....decisions! Thanks for the awesome videos!

Amazing watch, got a Mesh Timex Marlin for 100$ on sale yesterday but this makes me think that maybe I should have saved a little more and gotten this

Jorge Barrera

Stunning watch from Orient. Thanks for sharing it with us Teddy.

Nick Vetter

I love the green one but idk how much I'd wear it. I'm thinking about going with the maestro white dial with blue hands or the the brown and rose gold one.

Nunya .Bidness

Looks great but at 40mm it will wear big since it is all dial. I think this would've been better at 38mm.

It is a really beautiful watch with great value! I would buy it but I sadly am a poor student. But when I have enough money, I will spend it on this watch.

Hans Neumann

Try out different straps on the watch you review, might help with sales ;)

Holy shit! At a glance this easily looks like a $1000+ watch 😮
Easy buy for me.

Alex farlow

I ordered this one in green color and received it yesterday it’s a nice size and great looking watch the maestro my first one I plan on getting the bambino with Roman numerals very good watches

T.J. Heath

This was so helpful I’m definitely getting one now

HunGerMovies

that bracelet costs like 10 USD, I have it too, purchased it for my SKX009 just the 22mm version, pretty nice tho, I like it, and very tough

watchNcarry

Fantastic piece snd review. Reminds me of some of the design cues of the Seiko SSA397 Presage Green Automatic

Javier Jimenez

Hey Teddy, is this Maestro green color brighter than the one present on the Kamasu? I sold my Kamasu to my brother because the green dial was very dark, almost black... Also does the blue hands and markers on the Maestro white dial look dark or black most of the time? Which color dial do you like best?

Seth S.

It's good there are people like you on the internet
Since there are scams companies like MVMT that sell you cheap watches in high prices

SleepyScroller

This definitely looks more than 200.. They could ask 250 and put sapphire

I love this watch, especially the dial color. The one thing I would like is lume hands. Is there a version available with lume?

culinarykid92

@Teddy Baldassarre Reviews An extreme amount of potential. I feel taking the Timex Marlin's lume hands probably wouldn't harm the dressiness, but would make the watch an instabuy for me. I have the page opened on your website and really admire it. Is this a regular model dial color? I ask because I potentially will buy this one down the line.

Teddy Baldassarre Reviews

4y↑1

No lume hands on this. I persaonlly like it without as it keeps it dressier which I think is good, but I think there is a lot of potential for this line going forward

Agene

Hi, whats the diffirence between the RA and RN model on this watch? I saw 2 on Amazon and im not sure which one is which as they are so identical. Please, can someone enlighten me on this. Thanks in advace.

Calvin T

I'm getting some conflicting info on the glass. Orient's site calls the glass 'crystal glass'. Is that not sapphire?

Christian O'Sullivan

4y↑1

Does this scratch easily? And if so does anyone know any good watch that isn't prone to scratches

Edit:
I'd like a fashionable watch maybe with sapphire maximum price of $250

Quite an interesting choice for the colour of the dial! It’s always a plus to get an in house movement in this price range.

I think a lot of people will appreciate the exhibition case-back even if the movement inside is not decorated, At least the rotor is signed nicely. Water resistance is much more then you would expect on a more dressy piece like this, so it’s a fantastic bonus!

And for me personally the 20mm lug width makes this a for sure purchase in my eyes. Just because I think this watch could go with a wide variety of straps
(rubber, leather, etc) and still look great.

ARCHIEV THAPA

I think I'll get the green one for sure

Rodrigo Olivera

I’m buying this watch in some time, I’m gravitating to the black or white dial, which one would you recommend?

Mark Sanford

Does anyone know of an aftermarket bracelet that will fit this without much fuss?

William Hill

4y↑1

Great review, is this a newer interation because the Maestro came out a while back?

William Hill

@Teddy Baldassarre Reviews Yeah, that dial is cool, thanks

culinarykid92

@Teddy Baldassarre Reviews When you say a shift in the crystal, what do you mean? A higher quality crystal or something?

Teddy Baldassarre Reviews

4y↑3

No this has been in their lineup for a bit but relatively newer. I did a review on the maestro when it first cam out but it seems like there has been a shift in the crystal choice on these since the early moments of their release. Really love this green. Gives the simple dial a bit more character.

Wow. Going to pester my wife today... she is the big deal MBA, and "handles our money" (protects it from me spending it all on watches and Amazon goodies). This watch is very conservative... like me.

I'm surprised (and disappointed) that there is no exact model number anywhere. Not mentioned in the video and not written in the description. Then I checked the website and didn't find this particular model.

Could someone write the reference number, please? Thanks.

if i didn't have a SARB033, this would be it.

Dimitar Minchev

Hello,this watch is beautiful,but so inaccurate....-15/+25 seconds a day is a huge time error.I have heard that the quartz watches have delay of about 10-20 seconds in one year!!!
Is this true for all mechanical and automataic watches-15seconds a delay plus or minus from the real time?
Are they really so inaccurate every day nevetheless the power reserve which they have?
As I understood from all the videos in this channel,the automataic watches are nicer and much more expensive because of the hand made production and NOT because of the accuracy,which is awful,right???

I don’t understand Orients marketing. On their website you cannot search for “maestro”, or their other styles. Your page doesn’t have a style category either. Why are they all jumbled up? I want maestro, white dial, leather strap. Why don’t they sell it? I don’t understand how this company sells watches.
