I do not use the messaging system on RUclips, Facebook or Instagram, thank you.
Here's what will happen. Sells the sub, gets Explorer. Gets another sub, sells explorer. Buys a reduced Speedmaster.
Behind closed doors your watches are probably having an emergency meeting to discuss how to rescue your sold watches.... toy story style :)
sdm107 😃.
I see your comments all over RUclips. Keep it up 👍🏼 my friend. God Bless you. Jesus saves
cmon man.... don't sell your sub... you'll regret it
delesdog Deep down he knows that.
yeah, i regret selling my subway aswell :/
Hey man, add the Explorer and keep the Suby and the Pepsi. A Holy Trinity of Rolexes. That will be awesome!
OMG, that would be quite something. Not sure about owning more then 2 rollies, but it certainly would be extremely cool.
Thank you Rodrigo.
Best regards,
TGV
Call it a Trilogy...
Rodrigo Mussak k
I think it's about time you do a "State of the WIFES collection" video!!
I will ask her! Wish me luck ;-)
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
This is the video I hope to see in a close future and show it to my GF :P
mrflanker I agree
mrflanker lol
Please don't sell the submariner. I think you will regret it.
You are absolutely right!
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
I think the sub has a superior design when compared to the explorer.
The maxi-case sub is far uglier than the 36mm Explorer. It's a real shame Rolex did what they did.
If I were getting a new Rolex dive watch, it would be the Sea Dweller 4000. It has those classic proportions which made the Submariner an icon.
would it be blasphemous?
Hristo Manchev Was about to say the same thing
How often do you get fake watches when you're buying them from eBay?
How many times has it happened? (If it has happened of course)
TGV,
If my memory serves me, you purchased the Submariner as a 30th birthday gift to yourself (a big milestone). You have traveled and built important memories with it on your wrist. If you want the explorer, trim the fat elsewhere and focus on a higher end, more meaningful collection. Keep up the great work!

Your channel is responsible for getting me into the watch hobby and your watch & strap recommendations have been a great resource for all us beginners. Thank you for covering such a wide range of watches, especially in the affordable bracket, it makes your channel the best on YT.
The sub is both fantastic and iconic but, I'm willing to bet that it doesn't give you the same level of enjoyment as your blue squale. You went as far as to say that that watch made you happy to be alive. I think all the watches in your collection should give you that feeling.
Great Collection and great Video as always! Glad your channel keeps growing and growing! You really deserve it! :)
Can't wait for Baselworld 2017 to see the new Nomos releases and to finally buy one for my collection!
TGV,
I love the fact that the Squale remains in the collection despite being considered inexpensive in comparison to other pieces you have owned and since sold. A beautiful example of treasuring a watch for how it makes you feel, not the level of satisfaction it gives others around you. The true value of a piece is not determined by the price tag it carries. You're a true gentleman and an inspiration, keep it up mate.
Kind Regards,
Dane
Been waiting for this video! Your videos inspired me to make my own videos :) Will be posting my state of the collection video soon. Thank you for the content once again TGV
Totally agree TGV. The Gut string classical has a very organic sound to it. And when played by itself becomes so warm and inviting to the senses. And that my friend is exactly why I am a classically trained classical guitarist. It speaks to me on so many levels. Keep up the excellent work on your chanel. I think the derection you have taken with your collection is proper. Don't try to be something you are not. I totally understand that I'm a sports watch guy. So that's what I collect and enjoy. I literally only have one quote dress watch. There's something classy in my opinion being big enough in your life and in your mind to admit where your heart lays as far as where the direction you take your collection and not what everyone else expects or tells you the direction you should take your collection. Cheers
Thank you so much. What a wonderful comment.
I like hearing you talk about music. I had a very long a rather amazing but equally painful relationship with music.
I take it from your youtube logo you are a Tudor fan too, good man.
Best regards,
TGV
That intro always makes we want to go brew an espresso, even when watching at 2am.
Please don't sell the submariner. You have already said on countless occasions that watch collecting is not about ticking boxes and filling gaps, but rather getting a watch for what it is and what it means to you.
In my opinion sell the timex, accutron, data bank and possibly the flighty to make space for the explorer you are lusting after.
unislamic to follow your lusts isn't it???
o2xb I truly cannot comprehend how you have managed to mock someone's religion simply from a casual suggestion about watch collecting?!
Unfortunately the internet and the watch community contains people like you that pollute the hobby with unrelated, irrelevant and unneeded abusive commentary.
Pathetic.
One of the nice things about the SKX is its cushion case form and the texture of the bezel which is lost when you make it all black and lose the reflectivity which mirror polishing gives.
Favourite pieces: Seiko SARB, Sinn, Tudor, Timex.
P.S. There's no such thing as "having far too many Seikos". ;)
not only have helped me figure out what types an brand of watches i'm going to buy over the next two years to start my collection but you've also inspired me to get a signet ring with my family crest which is also a lion
this is the best watch channel on youtube! great video Tgv!
Thank you Joshi, you sir are too kind.
Best regards,
TGV
Love that last chronograph. Obscure and a beautiful 70's Retro look.
Selling the speedmaster was a big surprise, I really wasn't expecting that. Still one hell of a collection though. Your navitimer is definitely still my favourite, it is pure class :)
You need a Omega man on the f*king Moon. You really do.
That band with the Breitling is perfection!! I love that choice.
Thank you Shannon, very kind of you to say.
Best regards,
TGV
Great to see an update on the collection TGV, surprised to see the "Schumy" Speedmaster gone but can see your reasons behind it, love the Charles Frodsham pocket watch, Sekio SKX Mod, Sinn, Navi Timer and the GMT. I would go for the Explorer because the GMT looks the part and the Sinn is great as well, also the Sub is too common where as the Explorer is not, still a bit of a hard choice with the Sub being a 30th birthday present and a long term aim at the time, heart over head or head over heart?, great channel keep the videos coming.
Excellent lead in Music TGV. I'm a classically trained guitarist of over 44yrs.
Thank you :D
I wish I could take credit, something I came across that just spoke to me.
Big Bach fan obviously, so hearing it by guitar was so cool IMO.
Best regards,
TGV
Very impressive collection TGV. Personally, I wouldn't sell the submariner, it's far more iconic than the explorer and I think you would greatly regret it. Yes, the explorer is cooler as a dress watch as Jon Hamm wore it in Mad Men but the submariner is so much more iconic as it was Connery's Bond watch and it is a grail watch for almost every watch collector out there.
You've said in many videos that you have so many memories with the Subby: for me, that makes it a standout watch in your collection. I think you'd regret it!
Also I don't think there's anything wrong with having lots of watches in your collection as long as you see yourself wearing every one of them at some point. You can fall in and out of love with watches over time, so a watch that you are considering getting rid of now may actually become one of your favourites a few months down the line.
Maybe the squale should go? You have a navi with the great blue dial and the Rolex submariner has more sentimental value to you ( I assume) because it was a gift to yourself and you brought to so many places. But great video. Keep up the good work.
Regards, Ryan
That Squalee needs to go, who needs an ETA powered watch from a dubious brand when you have a sub and an Skx.
chillwill120 ha my Squale 30 Atmos ceramica rapes my skx all day long hands down!
chillwill120 sqaule made 500meter watch cases for tag Huer and Blancpain and other swiss brands. For the price and quality with decent history the Squale stays.
MetalsForBrunch well said!
Just started collecting Casio G-Shock watches. I really enjoy watching your channel:) Keep it up!
If you haven't already, take a look at the Rolex Oyster Perpetual "Red Grape." Not quite pink, but it comes in 36mm. No date, plenty of lume. It's stunning.
Hi TGV,
The Sub is definitely an icon. But I would swap it for an Explorer within a heard beat! ;) For me it is the more versatile watch. And with your GMT you still got a similar watch. The only reason you shouldn't sell your Sub are the memories. You told us so often that the Sub reminds you of many journeys and special moments of your life. At the end it is going to be a tough decision you have to make.
Best regards,
Claus
I got my first proper watch yesterday. Hopeful that this is the start of many. It was the Seiko SNZG15K1 and I love it. Love the channel.
wow that bulova. dressy and modern everyday piece. I think this is the first watch I've ever fallen in love with and want no matter the price
Great update. I'm shocked you sold the Schumi. A speedy is definitely high on my list because it covers many bases so I can keep the numbers down. I can definitely see you have a lot of chrono's, so I do get the thinking.
Also, I adore the Pepsi GMT on the Jubilee. When you had your live video and chatted about the 'dream Rolex', I was thinking that I would have a Pepsi GMT on a Jubilee with a display case back.
I was impressed at how many of those weren't even in the collection 6 months ago. I tend to hold onto watches until they end up gifted to people who admire them. TGV, I was shocked that you let your wife have the SARB. That is true love, given how much you like that watch. I coughed when you said "far too many Seikos". That is certainly a value greater than two.
On the topic of Seikos, I think you could have a legitimate collection and good range with just 4 of them. The SNK80x, a SKX, a flighty, and a SARB, would be a very affordable and quality set of watches.
Just started my collection not too long ago and I've stumbled upon your channel. Love the videos and your amazing collection. Keep them coming!
A great overview.Many thanks.
I have bought then re-sold then bought back a few watches.Why do we do that I wonder??
The Connery, Big Crown Sub is my grail watch, and seeing your rotation of Submariners has only reinforced my desire for one.
I'm going to chime in with the other's here who have recommended keeping it.
you have shared some neat little stories of the memories you have made while wearing that beauty!
Very inspiring and can't wait to get my hands on one!
As an Italian born, German mother, US Air Force father, and American patriot, I love your Aviation pieces.
Such amazing heritage and fantastic history in each; always a pleasure to come over and check out what you have to share with the rest of us.
Fantastic video as always sir, keep it up!
In my opinion, don't get rid of the ceramic sub in order to get a 36mm explorer. You will regret it, nothing is as ICONIC as a Rolex Submariner.
Best regards
Don't know if the Sub is more ICONIC than just BOOOOORIIIING. Boring watch, for boring people.
Ok, so what watch do you consider is not boring?
The Navi, the Bulova, the Sinn, the Seiko Giugiaro, the Tissot. None of them boring. Sub: Boooriiiing. I'm yawning while writing "boring". That's how boring the design is. Of course, these are my opinions. In my personal opinion, it's boring. I keep using the personal opinion term, because some people are offended with other people's opinions, without realising they are just subjective OPINIONS, based on personal prefferences. But basically, I have the right to say this: The sub is the most boring watch design ever designed.
A proof that your are not right about stating that the design of the submariner is boring is that the Rolex submariner is the most copied and replicated watch design in the world. That said... ARE WE ALL WRONG?
This is exactly why it's boring, because everyone has it. It's like all people owning the same car. Eventually, that would become the most boring car.
I'm a big fan of your RUclips channel and I highly respect your views on watches. The fact that you can get just as excited about a $50 Timex as you get about one of your rolex or omegas means you are a true watch lover and not just a critic.
My personal taste doesn't very as much as yours yet as I am more of a "field watch" guy for now anyway. I find the day/date complications most appealing as I find I need to check what day of the week it is as often as what time of day it is.
I've become quite fond of the Hamilton field watches from both your respect for them and from their respectable pricing. You've reviewed the Hamilton "Khaki King Auto" and I think it would be a great choice for me as I'm also a fan of Hugh Laurie but I can't seems to get over the day/date over top of the 12 position. I've been looking around and found that they have a day/date which looks more appealing called the "Field Day Date H70505133."
Here's my question: Would you think it's worth me spending a couple hundred dollars more just to get the day and date in a more appealing place? Would you respect the khaki king more than the more pricey version? The size difference isn't really an issue for me.
I love the Modded Seiko SKX007, Casio Databank, the Classic Timex, Bulova Accutron Spaceview, and of course, the Charles Frodsham pocket watch. Amazing collection, TGV. I only have a Seiko 5 Ranger 510A, a classic watch of my dad back in the 70s. But seeing your collection, it encourages me to one day acquire such for my own.
P.S. Will you have a giveaway someday, maybe? hahaha
I have two watch collections, my real one and one I keep on Pinterest. I'm still building my real one but use the virtual one to record the real watches I own, and the sensible set I'm building towards. It is also good to see how the real collection will hang together as it grows. I use the same rules for the virtual collection, ten watches max, and get a bit of a kick when watches go in and out of it. I'm sure my real collection will change over time as budget, taste, life changes etc, but I love building the collection virtually to help my real watch purchases.
Love the channel, it's responsible for at least two watches in my virtual collection, Stowa flieger and Sinn 856 UTC! if you could review the zodiac super sea wolf 68 you'd cover all the big ticket watches I need :)
Great vid. Nice to see an update on your collection. Would you mind letting me know where you sourced your jubilee bracelet for the GMT? Many thanks.
Thank you James, rather predictably I got it on eBay.
If you email me I will send you a link to the seller, he has a ton of them, all genuine for a decent price.
Best regards,
TGV
The Urban Gentry Thank you kindly. I will be in touch.
Hi TGV,
what a collection! Thank you for the update! I would keep the Sub if I was you as you mentioned several times that you have many memories attached to it. It's such an icone...
Your channel and collection has come a long was since Iam watching your show. Keep up the good work my friend!
Take care!
Cheers
The Pepsi and navitimer are my grails. They both have so much character. Excellent video :)
Is that a vintage Jubilee that you picked up for Hoffman? My older oyster bracelet shows the curled over metal on the edge of the links, but my 80's Jubilee on my Datejust does not. For some reason I thought you bought a newer Jubilee. The one you bought looks right for the part :-)
What an absolutely killer collection TGV! One I can only dream of having haha. Congrats on trimming it down! It would be very interesting to see your STOC if you could only have 6 watches haha. Also, more videos with Federico and Christian please! Love the banter between you guys. Take care TGV!
I own a Casio DBC 600(1985) I am wearing right now and love it to pieces glad you have a DBC. Gets a lot comments! Best regards-Orion
Film acting legend Cary Grant wore a Cartier Tank. It was the same watch seen on his wrist in North by Northwest (1959).
Hi Tristano! Keep the subby, you have so many memories with it. I hope you take that into account.
Great vid as always, keep on keepin on TGV :)
The Sub is the backbone of your collection, you've said it yourself many times. Don't sell it! You don't need an explorer. There are other watches you could sell like the Squale, or the SKX. You could always buy those back at a later time.
before you get the explorer, really really really recommend you try on the black bay 36
I bought that watch because of you and its just perfect - very accurate, robust but elegant and versatile and I love the embossed rose on the crown
TGV sir. Cannot believe you've exported the Sarb! That was definitely one of your signature pieces. Knew the Oris would go. That was just a 'phase'! (boom boom!)
Obviously none of my business, but can't help but feel you're a bit too connected to the Submariner to not regret it terribly afterwards.
As for the Explorer, didn't you have a Tudor Prince which looked very similar? Did you wear that one much? Might help avoid a potential howler!!
Nice video as always. All the best. S
Simply adore your collection, as i build mine id love to get a daytona in there as a (white-faced for historical purposes, but i love love the black face) racing inspired and chrono piece, along with a speedy , a gmt as an aviation piece with perhaps an iwc, and some seikos like the balck one for sure, where can i find a black pvd skx like yours?
To keep the collection slim, add a diver that can do nighttime duty as a dress watch: the classic Longines Legend Diver with the internal rotating bezel.
Hi recently just found your channel, and must say I'm enjoying watching and going back through your old videos. I wish I had found the channel before Xmas as I love that Seiko SARB003 and I want it so bad.
Keep up the fantastic work Sir
Don't get the explorer
The sub is "THE SUB"
It is a must have for all watch enthusiast.
Why is Squale hated by so many people? is it mainly because their watches are homages (or replicas) to the Sub?
Tonuzzo Nicklefritz maybe you can call them homages, but not to the sub.
Hey TGV, it would be nice if you could create a new playlist for your SOTC on your RUclips page so one can easily look back and see how far you have come.
Yes, this would be great.
Great review. Based on your wrist size are you thinking about the classic sized Explorer at 36mm or the redesign that comes with a better bracelet? Same for the skx. Do you prefer the 41mm or your smaller version?
Thank you Phil,
I would have to say 36mm for me, how about you?
Best regards,
TGV
Cartier is perfect with that jacket and sweater-perfect!
Thanks great video!
Always miss the bezel on my dive watches when I'm not wearing them! So useful!
Thank you Rick, very kind.
I must admit, I am the same with the bezels, just something so reassuring about knowing you have it.
I guess that is why Divers are so popular with us chaps, very good point.
Best regards,
TGV
I think I look forward to these SOTC videos the most, thank you! The Tissot is one of my favourites of your collection, I have been researching old/new on eBay but can't decide....
Get that Tudor off the Nato!
the modded skx is really looking badass on that strap, nice collection tgv.
Hey TGV, what do you think of watch brand Certina?
I don´t think you ever have featured it on the channel.
Thank you for all the great videos!
I love Certina, especially their vintage watches. They actually have a very interesting history.I came so close to pulling the trigger on one many times on eBay.
It will happen eventfully. How do you feel about them?
Thank you Felix,
Best regards,
TGV
I would be really glad and intrested if you featured them on your channel.
I really like them especially their diving watches new and vintage. The Certina DS Action Diver was my first real watch and I can really recommend it even though it probably is a bit big in your taste at 43mm.
You should make a google search on: Certina Super PH and look at their vintage divers really really intresting.
Thank you for the answer. :)
Quote from TGV: "don't try to tick boxes, buy whatever you want". Selling your Submariner would be a terrible mistake, you'll regret it forever!!
I am not a luxury collector at all but that last watch really hit a sweet spot for me.
a collection this big with such a broad range of entry/mid/luxury is almost a shame without a Speedmaster and/or Seamaster. Speedies are legendary and Seamasters are turning into a modern icon.
It is truly nice to see how much you enjoy watches and your collection. I smile when I see that we have similar reasoning when it comes to dress watches. You did very nice presentation as expected. I am not the one to give any recommendations. I love all your watches and i always have hard time deciding what has to go. Cheers Tristano. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you so much Mike. Very kind.
Best regards,
TGV
I adore that Sinn with that countdown bezel. Great video, always pure class!
Go for the Explorer. It is a better size for you and it is just....cooler. I hate to say it, but it's true.
--Michael
I decided that once I worked for years to get myself entirely out of debt for the first time in my adult life I would reward myself by buying a nice watch, so I did (well, nice for me at the time). I ended up selling it a few years later and now the trophy of that milestone is gone and can't be replaced. I hugely hugely hugely regret it. It's your collection and 100% your decision of course, but if you sell the sub I think you may regret it down the line. Cheers.
Great to see a new "state of the collection" TGV, looking forward to watching this one! :)
Thank you :D
Best regards,
TGV
TGV you said it yourself "Do not try to tick boxes" I think you should keep the Sub
noticed your Gmt had the folded steel jubilee , whats your take on the folded steel straps , I tend to stay away from them but your input would be appreciated thanks
Beautiful collection so far Tristano. I wouldn't suggest to replace the Sub with the explorer because the Explorer hasn't the story of the Sub. Rolex insist to say it climbed the Everest witch is true but not the explorer model and Rolex hasn't been the first. In my humble opinion, because you like the pilot watches you should own a Pilot IWC eventually.
I want to ask politely if you would consider parting with your Tissot Janeiro, i have been searching for it for a long time now. This is a serious inquiry. if not, please keep me in mind if you consider selling it in the future. Thank you very much from Chicago IL. Great video, keep up the good work.
I love the Tissot it looks awesome. Love that vintage look, just stunning. That classic look is what I love about watches. Great video.
I think the 36mm Explorer I would fit your personality, attire, and lifestyle perfectly. Sporty elegance.
The Explorer is an incredible watch. So versatile. Definitely in my radar.
The Submariner is definitely my favorite in your collection. So she would be the last one to leave. The Explorer 1 would make a nice pair with the Sub ...
Was a bit surprised of the dramatic cut down of seikos! Hahaha. Great collection!! Be well!
Edit: oh and "vintagy" 😂😂 great
Nice way to start my morning. Thanks!
You could consider selling the Timex, Flightmaster, and Tudor and get a sporty dress watch with a moonphase to replace all 3? Something like a Zenith el primero with a moonphase might tick all the boxes. Not sure how much wrist time they get or how attached you are to them though.
I like your thinking,
I will make note of that,
Thank you.
Best regards,
TGV
TGV,
You have a perfect collection! I am quite surprised you let go of "Schumy" :( That was a stunning piece.
I offloaded an Omega Seamaster 2254, a TAG F1, and a Tissot Sea-Touch in 2016 to make room for a more concise collection. The hardest one to let go of was the 2254. I had quite the attachment to it so I may add one in the near-term.
My main near-term goal is a Seiko SRP773 "Turtle" which I am excited to purchase. It is 44mm, which is large, but works with my wrist. The movement is solid and a great investment in my opinion. I have recently purchased a number of NATO straps that I think would look great on a turtle.
My medium-term goal is a Speedmaster Moon Watch (any reference, just as long as it is a moon watch!). I have decided to curb my expectations and save for the next 12-14 months instead of blowing what I have and risk something coming up.
My forever goal, similar to yours, is a Lange 1. I may be waiting 20 years, but I too, shall have a Lange at some point in my life haha!
Thanks for sharing your collection. I hope you go back to Omega this year :)
Cheers,
Nathan
Thank you Nathan.
The 2254 is a stunner, I don't blame you finding that one difficult.
I have heard nothing but great things about the turtle, great choice.
Wise plan there too, and I am totally with you about Lange, eventually right!?!
Happy hunting and good luck my friend, great comment.
Best regards,
TGV
Will keep you apprised of my process!
whoops! progress*
Thanks for sharing this video about the state of your collection, Tristano. It's funny to see great pieces with NATO straps. I agree with that style.
Have a nice weekend and till your next video, "ciao".
Hay TGV cool watches I like the Tissot. and where you find the great music in episode
I'm just gonna come right out & say it... sell the Sub & get yourself an Explorer. You said it yourself, you prefer to wear the Pepsi so best to move it on for something you really hanker after.
Lovely collection, TGV. Sad to see the "Pinkie" go. I didn't know about that Tissot in your collection. I've got to find one of those; I'm in total awe of it. Going forward, I really think you could use that Explorer. I'd sell the "Subbie" because you've got so many iconic divers already. Again, great video!
If you sell the sub, you can get a 36mm explorer and ceramic seamaster pro 41mm with a glidelock clasp, and possibly squeeze in a speedie reduced with the sale proceeds.
I like your thinking Alberto ;-)
Thank you my friend,
Best regards,
TGV
Have you considered a Seiko Ananta instead of your umpteenth speedmaster ? That could tick the "spring drive" check too. ^^ They *are* big watches though.
Keep the pepsi, move the sub, get the explorer. Follow your instincts, they are trustworthy! Enjoyed the video as always!
Thank you :D
Best regards,
TGV
You can use a piece of red hot metal instead of an open flame to melt the end of the strap when cutting light colored perlon straps to size. If you quickly wipe the soot from the metal with a piece of cloth before you start melting the perlon it won't discolor that much.
The Gold tone hands on The Tissot piece makes an incredibly special Piece Justthat much more amazingly special.... That Is my favorite of your collection....
Cheers from Philadelphia!
Brian
Your Tissot Janeiro is easily my favorite piece of your collection!!! I just LOVE that watch, I know you'll probably say no, but if you ever consider selling it, please please please let me know!
Love the SOTC videos! Can't wait to see how the collection changes.
You're one of my watch collector idols, love your video and how you explain and pls keep the Rolex submarine, that's a must have for any watch collector in their collections
I could die...my pride and joy seven month old skx009 k1 died this morning, not a scratch on her. bought from the states, I live in the UK... company doesn't exist anymore.
love the show TGV!
Amazon?
na ...someone on eBay called wave watches in the states ...gonna send it to Seiko with a PayPal receipt and see what happens
Fantastic video, I must admit I've been looking forward to your "SOTC" update. Glad to see some of my favorites are still there (like the Giugiaro).. Funny enough I was at a bistrot some months back, and a tall beautiful brunette with hazel eyes came to take our order. And she in fact was wearing what I recognized as a A150WA.... I commented on her iconic casio and she smiled brightly, said it helps her get to work and class on time. She paid only $15 for it! (true story)
I love the Modded Seiko SKX007, Casio Databank, the Classic Timex, Bulova Accutron Spaceview, and of course, the Charles Frodsham pocket watch. Amazing collection, TGV. I only have a Seiko Ranger, a classic watch of my dad back in the 70s. But seeing your collection, encourages me to one day acquire such for my own.
P.S. Will you have a giveaway sometime? 😄
