Screw that have fun. I just bought a Hamilton Khaki field 38 for 180 couldn't pass up such a deal. Do I need it ?no. does it make me happy? yes . Live life doing the things that make you happy.
WOW, bargain! Enjoy,
Excellent comment, thank you for sharing that.
Best regards,
TGV
Dirty Ribz where did you get the Hamilton at such a good price
Jeffrey Wilke I learned from TGV look for bargains on Ebay
Dirty Ribz very well said ser
I have a 38mm Khaki and it is an outstanding watch! Keeps increadible time and is just bad to the bone!
Enjoy!
Man Trist, you've got the 3 perfect Rolexes, literally. If I had to choose 3 Rolex watches I'd choose the EXACT references you have. Back in the day when you had the Submariner I thought to myself "I hope Trist gets my personal holy trinity, the 36mm Explorer and the Pepsi GMT (the exact one you own now). The Navi of course, my all-time favorite watch is also a part of your collection. Your collection leaves me speechless! Congrats!
Thank you Philip, deeply flattered.
Best regards,
TGV
I will be honest TGV, if you aren't getting kickbacks from Squale and Seiko you really should be.
Seriously, this channel deserves more attention. Amazing video as always! :)
EDIT: Oh and that intro was really cool! Nice job!
Thank you sir! Very kind.
Best regards,
TGV
I'd love to see your wife's collection my wife of 25 years is wondering also just saying
I will certainly ask her, wish me luck ;-)
Thank you and congrats on the 25 years, very inspiring.
Best regards,
TGV
double Nickel I was thinking the same thing when he said that the silver casio was in her collection, I thought Id love to see what her's looks like.
Yes!! I would love to see her collection too!!! Please have her on for a guest appearance!! X
Each thursday I have a day off, have lunch, watch your channel. Love your videos and passion about watches. Keep it going!
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Sander
So many watches, so little time.
So true Rob, so true indeed!
Thank you, I hope this finds you well.
Best regards,

The quality of your vids is top notch. Detailed. Informative. Entertaining. Highly enjoyable. Thanks
Always inspirational to see your SOTC. It never fails that I drop my jaw at some of the ones you let go, but you seem to add ones that make it all worthwhile.
Thank you sir, very honoured by your words.
Best regards,
TGV
Hey TGV, just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of your channel. I've had an interest in watches since I was a kid (maybe 5 years old?) but that interest sat dormant for years until I stumbled onto your channel. I've already purchased 3 pieces this year and am already planning 3-4 more before the end of the year. I don't comment much but I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for all of the work you put into your videos, we all really appreciate it!
-KK
Funnily enough earlier today I was rewatching your previous SotC videos and looking forward to an update! What impeccable timing!
So glad to hear :D Poetic timing indeed.
Thank you Sean
Best regards
TGV
Us watch collectors are a unique bunch - selling the two tone Tudor with day and date functionality to buy a steel time only explorer , logically its inexplicable, its just that connection we feel to different watches, like love
LOL so true!!
Great comment Daniel, thank you.
Best regards,
TGV
I believe that collecting watches is not about collecting the most rare or prestigious watches but finding watches that we love to wear.
Watching these videos every day is what I look forward to! Your channel got me into watches imn the first place! I love the all black Seiko skx!
One word... respect... as I can see that there's a little story linked to every watch you own... and despite the fact that there are several watches that I wouldn't buy in your collection... I just adore it!!!
What an incredible collection you have there. As you were bringing out the watches, I was thinking you'd say something like "the noise you're hearing are my friends jackhammering the Invicta for my review. Please disregard."
Outstanding collection, TGV! Really stunning. We can see clearly all the love and thoughts you have put on it. It has almost everything: old, new, great colors, basic and busy dials, pilots, divers, dress watches, chronographs... My collection has grown too: I bought a new INOX Professional Diver in a black dial and a super bracelet that transforms completely the watch (this is my fourth INOX). Keep making this channel a jewel for the lovers of horology.
Great collection, maybe get a JLC Reverso with you family crest engraved in the back, which would definitely suit the collection?
OMG, what a classy recommendation, I have actually bought a JLC but not a Reverso, I already have said too much ;-)
Thank you Lewis,
Best regards,
TGV
The Urban Gentry can't wait to find out what it is!!!
Can not be unseen lol.
Instead of sleeping I am watching your watch collection, awesome collection!
I've been watching as time permits for 6 months. I think this is a tremendous show, great explanations, entertaining, well done!
Out of all the youtube channels i must say yours is the most interesting and i tend to watch more often. I have started a little watch collection and it consists of a larus (that my wife purchased), a Omega constellation 1422 and a casio 611e 1ef which you have on your channel and i will collect tomorrow from a shop. Keep up the good work.
The pepsi gmt and navitimer have to be my all time favorites
You have great taste Pete ;-)
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
Great video again.
I just found your junghans Meister Telemeter and I'm BLOWN AWAY! It's so beautiful and you're 100% right about the issue of buying a vintage chrono from the 50s, as I have been looking for months now.
Your collection is constantly evolving so it's always fun to check these videos out. Thankfully mine is now complete so i can sit back & breathe a deep sigh of relief lol.
Also, I adore your chronographs! The strap on the Tissot is one of the most amazing matches I've ever seen.
Tristano the only man to describe his collection as "The Fleet" haha! Love it brother, collection is ever evolving. Enjoy the explorer my friend!
Yes!! This made my night; I have been waiting so long for a state of the collection update.
Been looking forward to this ever since the last one haha, keep up the good work
Thank you sire, very flattered.
Best regards,
TGV
the authentic pronunciation of the watch, absolutely amazing 👍
I was having such a shit day until I saw that you posted this! Thanks for everything you do TGV.
There is a pick for everyone in your collection of iconic pieces and most importantly it makes you happy so enjoy. Nice collection that reflects your passion for horology.
Thank you CKR, also for a really wonderful comment you left a video or two back. I lose track but I wanted to say it was very much appreciated as always. I hope you are well my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
The model of the Sd.Kfz. 181 at 4:00 made my day. Nice one! :D
"Embrace the madness!" - Yes, absolutely. I'm going to steal your idea of having a logbook to track incoming/outgoing watches. I was surprised about your little Tudor DD leaving - thought it was a keeper for you. As for the Tiger - she's in good hands! Love your new Explorer. Isn't it fun to see how our collections morph over the year(s)? Ciao, John
A nice, well-rounded collection. Definitely one of my favorite SOTC that you've done in the 2 years or so I've been watching.
Love the names you give to your watches! Definitely the best watch channel on RUclips
Thank you so much Tony, very kind of you to say and I am extremely honoured.
Best regards,
TGV
That feeling you get when you see a new state of the collection thumbnail on RUclips!
Lately I'm thinking the perfect watch collection consists of two watches: A dress/business watch, and a beater for the gym.
Rolex Explorer on bracelet. Seiko SKX on nato.
The perfect collection.
Love your vids.
Thanks for sharing your collection - very interesting video! I like how you don't just rattle off the watches, but explain why you have the watch, why it is important, etc. Keep up the great content!
Always enjoy a good SOTC video. You've got some great pieces and it's lovely to see how the collection has evolved and matured in the 18 months or so I've been following your channel. Thanks & take care Tristano.
Love your collection. You have several I plan to add to my collection as well! I enjoyed your comments, and couldn't agree more when you laid out the first 3 of your collection.. The SKX, the Squale, then the Sub! That IS a nice collection on its own. But the collection only gets better as you kept laying them out! Because of you I have added the Squale on my list of future purchases. It's a fantastic watch! Love the look.. Something about that Orange minute hand on the Squale gets me everytime. Much respect and I appreciate all your hard work you do to keep your channel exciting.
Beautiful collection, truly one to be proud of. You've clearly made your choices very wisely through much research and deliberation. Nothing more satisfying than fully immersing yourself in your passions, as is undoubtedly exhibited by these wonderful works of art.
What happened to your THeuer Formula 1 GMT with the ETA 2893-2 movement? I have watched all your State of the Collection videos for almost the past 3 years and there continues to be no mention! :(
Hi TGV,
I hope this finds you well my friend. Congrats on your current state of the collection. It was fun to watch.
I have to smile when you explained, that you failed to consolidate your collection. ;) I'm still trying to keep my core collection small. And my midrange goal is still the Zenith El Primero 1969 Chronograph. I'm going to sacrifice up to three of my other core timepieces. Ending up with five pieces in total: Zenith, Rolex OP, Omega SMP, Nomos Orion and a free slot currently filled with my G-Shock.
Best regards,
Claus
Love the update. Thanks for sharing. I hope my collection grows to something that I can be as proud of! Keep up the good work!
Great idea embracing the madness. My advice to save money for watches. If you cut the heating during the winter, you can just wear a coat of all your leather watch straps. Also, I think the tissot in your collection is my favorite.
Just found your channel yesterday TGV, I've always loved watches but now I am thinking about getting more serious about collecting, wearing, and enjoying them! Thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge... Now to look at your archive of videos! :)
I love state of the collection. Wonderful episode! Thanks so much TGV!
I have been following you for about a year, your collection has a nice variety now.
Beautiful collection. I need to separate my collection in that manner: Divers, Aviation. Etc. You inspired me to add a Pepsi Gmt to mine. I should have it in two weeks. Looking forward to more videos.
Your collection at the moment is just AMAZING!!! Seriously, enjoy it :)
TVG, an exceptional video, as always! I do love the "out of the collection" designation, and by the way it is in my wife's collection. Puts a smile on my face every time. Very strategic to keep the beloved happy and some nice pieces within arms reach. I am inspired to adopt this approach.
Wow what a eclectic and wonderful collection. Not only do I think your watches are fantastic I love your perspective and enthusiasm for watch collection. A huge thank you from me, I really enjoy your reviews.
Love your intros! THEY REMIND ME OF THE HUNT!
I must of missed it, but what happened to the Speedmaster?
Hello TGV, I absolutely love that skx mod you displayed at the beginning but I searched for the watch modder you mentioned online and couldn't seem to find him, may I ask how you got a hold of that amazing piece? Also you mentioned there might be a queue, where could I sign up to join it?
Crazy awesome collection! All the way to the retro databank , you've got it covered.
Thank you Aron! Always an pleasure to hear from you.
Best regards,
TGV
Congratulations TGV on the current state of the collection. Look forward to hearing about the next med/long term goal.
Robert! Lovely to help you, I hope you are well.
Thank you so much,
Best regards,
TGV
Im wating that Invicta pro diver review hahaha Regards from Mexico!
Very soon my friend, very soon.
Thank you Humberto.
Best regards,
TGV
I owned a SNA411, definitely a very interesting piece. The domed crystal is acutally one of its best part as a maginifier to read the small texts on the dial, and also maginifies the depth of its dial.
Hello TGV,
can you tell us please where did you get your mod SKX ?
maybe a link ?
,BTW
Really like your channel
.Your truly love and passion for watches are making your videos so great. Looking forward to new videos
Link is in the video description of the full review I did a few months back, have a look there.
Thank you for the kind words, very much appreciated.
Best regards,
TGV
An absolute fantastic collection! Your videos inspire and educate....and consequently now I have two more grails : ) Thank you !!!
Your collection is awesome and very unique. I know I'm sounding so typical but the sub is my favourite. Congrats on getting the explorer as well...a great addition.
i finally found me a vintage i picked it up at a flea market funny enough. But i only gave 5 bucks for it. It remarkably in mint condition...its one of my favorite pieces in my collection.. keep up the fantastic work TGV.
best regards
Joseph
a vintage Timex I apologize for that.
Love the log book idea! And please keep buying/selling/trading watches, live the dream for those of us who cant!
I loved that Tudor day date. What an elegant piece it was! But life goes on)
Thank you, I did too, I am already looking for another one but with sapphire glass this time.
Best regards,
TGV
I must say you have an amazing collection anyway, and the beautiful vintage Omega can replace that Tudor perfectly. I enjoyed this collection review very much!
Amazing collection TGV. We share very similar tastes. Keep up the good work!
-Myles
Thank you Myles :D
Best regards,
TGV
I just Carnot help loving the explorer due to its simplicity, just absolutely stunning
The blue Squale on the mesh bracelet is my next watch for sure. I absolutely love it.
just got my first SKX009J because of this channel, thanks for the recommendation!
Initially I wasn't that much into watches not that I didn't wore them but I wasn't into them.
But your channel inspired me to pick up a well made and nice watch instead of just another fashion watch.
Ended up going for the Seiko SNZH53.
Ah, my favorite Giugiaro design is the Subaru SVX. Wholly unconventional from one of the great "practical" carmakers, similar to that Seiko :) Love where the collection is now, and looking forward to the future! Excellent video as usual!
where is your Invicta which we saw in last to last video
The review is coming soon. Stay tuned.
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
what about that Edifice also?
The Hoffman on that burgundy strap is perfect!
Is re-gold plating a watch considered as much of a sin as polishing? Or is it considered to be fine? Love your channel please do a video on this it would be great to know in case the gold plating comes off my el Primero. Am I better off leaving it with scratches or is getting the gold plating redone okay??
Thank You!
A truly enviable collection! Sad to see the Tudor Day-Date go, though. That's the first watch that made me reconsider two-tone watches.
You consolidate just as me! LOL But we enjoy every moment and every piece! So good that you purchased Explorer. Good job on SOTC BIG LIKE
LOL, thank you Mike. I hope you are well.
Best regards,
TGV
P.s. Do you still have the Skywalker by any chance?
Tristano I still have Skywalker and it's not going anywhere. First because it's from you and second because I love that piece. I will be wearing it in December when going for Star Wars premiere. Keep up great work you do for horology community. Cheers mate!
My jaw hung open the entire time you were going down the list on that yellow paper. Baby blue, the tiger, little Henry! Thank God you finished that list with the Charles Frodsham. I would love to hear the minute repeater on that one. I yelled YES when I saw you still have Flighty. I have mine as well and love it. Buying a marathon navigator in the next few days. My favorites of yours are the 1521, the jelly fish, the Rattrapante and most of all the Janeiro. I will be so disappointed if you sell the Janeiro and I am unable to buy it. I'll still watch the channel though lol.
I love these State of collection videos, looking forward to your new grail.
I recently purchased a gmt pepsi same reference and a modern silver dial datejust, i was able to swap jubilee bracelet from the datejust to the gmt and i really love the look of both of these watches.
Your videos inspired my selection and continue to shape my next purchases, thank you for all the work that you do. It awaken a true passion.
your Rolex explorer is the watch I want the most
myvenusinuranus same. Or squale or explorer or breitling or sub :)
no, not the Squale or the Breitling or the sub......just the 36mm Explorer
I have small wrists and 36mm is the perfect size. I like the simplicity of the Explorer. it's always been one of my top favorite watches. I've never found a used one for sale ever
Yes, it is an amazing watch. I'm propably going to buy a little more expensive watch for my budget in 1 year or something, but explorer is still quite expensive for me. Tudor black bay 36 is a great cheaper option, which I might want. The case shape is just not as slender as explorer's.
Just happened upon your channel... your enthusiasm is contagious! Well done
Thank you, welcome aboard!
Best regards,
TGV
Wonderfully reviewed @tgv, you must check SRP655 Seiko Ceramic Tuna
I am gla you decided to keep the Rattrapante, that's a very special watch!! It's funny to be here since the first STOC: in one, you say you'll be consolidating, because your collection has grown far too big. In the next one, you say you decied to embrace the chaos LOL how not to love this channel??
Best regards T!!
LOL thank you Joao,
VERY much appreciated, I hope you are well my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
What happened to Casio Edifice you unboxed a while back? That looked like a very interesting watch.
The patina on that Omega looks spot on for the style!
lovely and genuine video, as always TGV. Love from Australia!
Love all your watches. An amazing and Beautiful watch collection and Thanks for sharing. I'd upgrade the Sinn 104 to a U1."Real Sumbmarine metal same Silleta sw 200 movement." "Thought I'd just throw that in."
Great SOTC vid sir. Such a varied and interesting collection that you clearly put thought into. And more importantly, not a hint of the snobbery that can often be found amongst watch folk. ❤️'ing that Pepsi!
Hi TGV, great channel, I'm now a subscriber. I've got a collection, which includes Seamaster Planet Ocean 2500, SMPC 41.5, Breitling Transocean, IWC pilot petit prince, Tag Acquaracer and a Frederique constant classics, but I've been hankering after a rolex for a while. Great to see you're still wearing the Explorer 1 as I think it'd complement my collection better than the SubC. Given you have both in your collection I'd be interested in your experience of living with them daily. All the best Adam, from a sunny Sunbury on Thames UK
That Tissot is one of the most classically beautiful watches I've ever seen. It will be a shame to see it go.
Terrible sacrificies,beautiful additions....such is the wristwatch hobby!!
Bravo et encore
Thanks for the wonderful introduction to your collection...by the way...keep the Tissot, I rarely saw such a well-made dial! Best regards!
'embrace the sickness and the madness' love it TGV! Go for it. Enjoying following your horoligical journey. You are doing a wonderful job
I love how they went back to the original idea of having one alien/a small amount of aliens in the movies, not hordes of aliens that die like flies as they did before. This is so much more suspenseful and unique.
That mesh on that Squale tho, is so good!
I only have 3 watches so far, 2 quartz (bought by my lovely girlfriend) and 1 automatic, and I'm planning on pulling the trigger on my first diver (the Steinhart Ocean One Titanium 500) some time next week and this video is making me even more excited to build my collection!
I think that the explorer works perfectly as a dress watch with the smooth bezel and simple look on the dial.
Now this, is one hell of a collection!
Really love your vids, thanks for them :)
Was wondering where you got that Seiko SKX007 Cerakote, I'm trying to find one but it seems kinda rare. Did you get it coated yourself or it came in that way ?
Thank you in advance !
I just ordered the new Sinn 104 with the white dial inspired by your review of the classic 104. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Hi TGV
Ohhhh.....must have hurt sacrificing that nice little Tudor Day-Date. But still; in exchange for the Explorer it's very understandable.
Your collection is somewhat getting more & more perfect, I think. More refined and still with exiting and not too obvious choices.
Keep up the good work...
the intros never fail to entertain! they get better every time. well done!
Thank you so much, very kind of you to say.
Best regards,
TGV
