"The Lust Factor" is soooo true! I'm in a wheelchair due to a car accident and am very hard on watches. The constant banging of my arms/wrists as I roll all over the place took a terrible toll on any Omega, Tudor or higher end watch I owned. I finally sold them all and went with G-Shocks, exclusively. I have 4: MTGB1000, GWG1000, GW9300, and GWFA1000. They all look and work great and can take abuse at the gym, track or the firing range. I hated parting with my beloved automatics, but it was less traumatic than the horror of noticing a new crack or scratch on my much more expensive watches. Great video, as always, mate!!
Or buying a watch cause all the youtubers say you need it to fill the list in your collection....You shouldn't have any list but what you like. For me its only solar and Auto in a field type catagory with no divers (so protreks and pilot/fieldwatches😂)...except I do like the new Bond watch. I like the color scheme...I didn't even think it was vintage looking foo patina until TGV said it was....don't care I still like it. And I've fallen into this trap too. I got some watches siiting in my box I don't like wearing cause I listened to the you got to have these in your collection think....not thinking if I really like it.
@@loganholmberg2295 Hi Logan, I'm so afraid of buying a watch to tick a box (sort of have one, it's a Tag and doesn't have much value so selling it will be tough) but why don't you sell the watches that are just sitting around not getting used? You can put that money towards another watch that you do like.
I've done Ambien buying before. Take the Ambien but don't go straight to bed. Eventually I kind of zoned out while shopping and next morning found I'd purchased something. Sometime you can cancel, sometimes not. At least it's never been a Lange & Sohne!
Urban gentry, I'm going to say one thing :you are a gentleman and the most honest, the most humble watch reviewer I've ever watched. Love the way you break it down for us and keep it simple. And that's coming from someone that has almost ALL the subscriptions for watch related channels and use to sell watches. I share your passion for casio and if we need to narrow down the list that's only few brands that worth the candle :Seiko, Citizen, Casio. YOU CAN GET HERE WHATEVER YOU WANT :SPORT, DRESS, CASUAL, YOU NAME IT.
I literally almost bought one of those vintage ORIS a week ago but something told me it wasn't right. good thing I listened to my gut! sad to know these dealers are targeting the new guys like me. thanks for keeping me informed! love the channel.
Hey Mr G can u help me or if anyone could help me find links for my Tag heuer, like I find some online but like there hard to come by, like it’s a Tag Heuer F1 it’s BAO875, my step dad gave it to me but he lost the links, if anyone could help me find links that are for this watch or could work for this watch, that would be great. Thank you
This video beautifully highlights why TGV is the favourite watch reviewer and journalist of so many watch enthusiasts. I truly cannot think of any RUclipsr that has had a more profound impact on the growth of this wonderful hobby. Thank you for another excellent, and always-classy, video.
That moment when you turn off the lights, check the phone one last time before bed and see a notification from the urban gentry channel and you start to hear that song "my mind is telling me no, but my body, my body is telling me yes".
Maybe not the most desirable model, but I bought a new Air King about 6 weeks ago. AD had two in that week, and I've since seen a 3rd in their window. Sometimes it is possible to buy at retail
I don't know where you're located but I also love the Airking, but I can only afford one watch at the moment and since it doesn't have a date function I am going to wait. But my AD (in Rhode Island) said they're getting another one in this year and if you're close it could be yours.
Chris Davis I feel your pain brother, but hey !!! Is it not awesome to get a package, not remembering what you ordered and then “ surprise!!!” It’s like Christmas all year 🤣🤙🏻🇺🇸🅰️
TGV, as always, you have gone above and beyond! The intro was humorous and entertaining, but far more importantly, I was quite pleased with all of your list. The RUclips dealer really really hit home! I was absolute gutted one day to be watching a formerly well liked RUclips-dealer who specializes in certain types of watches state that “my watch never tells the right time - I don’t wind them - if I want to know what time it is I look at my phone”. I had made a purchase from this tuber-dealer (coining that term btw) and was sorely disappointed in the customer service. On another note, Marc, at Long Island Watch is as excellent as you portray. My son’s first real watch was acquired through Marc, and I have purchased several other pieces from him with which I am absolutely thrilled! Not the least of which is my new Seiko Flightmaster that I recently purchased from him...(as a pilot can attest....the slide rule works and is accurate, while not completely practical!). I have not purchased one of his Islander watches yet, but I appreciate how open and honest and forthright he is regarding his personal brand as well. Another brand that operates on the same wave length as Marc, but has almost zero RUclips presence is Bernhardt Watch Company. The owner, Fred Amos, takes exquisite care of all of his customers. I cannot possibly recommend him enough. My daughter’s watch, which she received for her 16th birthday, was purchased from him and he even went out of his way to have it personally engraved for a pittance of a fee. The man performed the engraving purely on trust that his minute fee would be sent AFTER DELIVERING THE PIECE! The man and his company are true diamonds in the rough. As I write this, I am even wearing one of his Binnacle Anchors! You should truly give him a good look. As requested...what to avoid....the easiest recommendation I have for avoiding getting burnt....I would have to say probably site such as AliBaba and Aliexpress.....millions of watches that promise the moon and are for ridiculously low prices....but from what I can discern, are most likely wastes of time and money. Sorry for the excessively long comment. Well done, my friend, onward and upward!!
I got several Casio Duro’s thanks to your reviews. Changed some bands because they are very customizable and not very expensive. They look pretty Bond to me and they are 200m water resistant
I own all three versions of the Duro. I put leather straps on both the gold and blue versions. Those are for casual wear and the black one is my beater watch.
I can't bring myself to buy an Omega even though I like 2 of their models, because I feel like guys who buy them are James Bond wanabees. I know this is not always the case, but will never own one for this reason. Celebrity endorsement make me run away from products.
Great Video !! I buy retail, from a local dealer. I pay more, but my money stays in the community, and i have established a nice relationship with someone who lives in my area, that value you can't put a price on.
I loved the Star Wars intro. Darth Vader is my favorite character. Shout out to Hugo, he did great. Keep it up TGV. #2: I was surprised it wasn't #1. But it makes sense now. I refuse to buy fake/replica for the same reasons. #1: Yep, spot on. I don't see this is becoming a bigger issue because I don't look on the used market. Those 2 reasons alone is why I only buy from Authorized dealers. I even verify they are Authorized from the watch companies website itself. You'd be surprised how many claim to be Authorized, yet they're not. So watch out for those.
I feel terrible about all the money I have waisted on "fashion watches" over the years. I was a Movado fan until i started studying Horology. This year i made the leap into a Breitling Heritage II. Feel so proud now. I wear a Tissot Seastar PVD as my work watch. Thing is tough as nails. Thank you Urban Gentry for all the words of wisdom.
First time watching your channel was like 'look, it's a guy talking about watches'. 6 (six) watches later, I have to watch you on smartphone with earbuds on, so the wife wouldn't catch me. :) Keep up the great job you're doing.
Solid advice as usual! 👍 I absolutely love information like this. Keep up the good work TGV. My recommendation would be not to buy "unwearable watches". When a watch ticks all the boxes but is e.g. too uncomfortable or too fragile, they will just end up collecting dust. Looking forward to the next one! Regards, Koen
Have a great weekend TGV. Thanks for your content and all your effort. We have been in a fairly extreme lockdown here in Melbourne, Australia. Channels like yours are helping me through it. Cheers!
@@theurbangentry sadly the very watch was sold out in my country's official stores after the video was uploaded.. And I'm sure it wasn't a coincidence 😂
Great video. Watches I avoid are specials linked to other businesses. Breitling Bentley would be one example of many . Just buy an 'unaffiliated' version.
I started watching your channel a month ago and I watch you every night before going to sleep. I dream about watches. Thanks for sparkling a new passion in me brother.
@@rustyspoonss Which happens! I used to have the very watch that TGV is wearing in this vid, gave it away, and then did regret it. Luckily, I saw his vid, and rebought it before they became scarce. It's in the mail now...
Honestly I love your videos, great content, great advice, great humour, great references... The list could go on forever. Thank you and keep up the good work
Funny part about late night inebriated watch buying is that after having a few drinks and watching one of your first reviews of the Speedy Reduced is exactly how that watch became a permanent part of my collection 😂😂😂
@TGV - Your intros are always clever and funny! Also, your use of french word is always spot on and always in the right context 👍 I know it's not really related to the video but I just saw the new Accutron spaceview, and I so want it but I need to find $4k first 😢
You know what? I drunk bought my Squale onda laguna and I absolutely adore it. Never would have pulled the trigger without my good counselor Scotty the Scotch Whisky
Love the authenticity. My favorite part is when he talks about the buying a watch simply for investment. I am looking for a watch that may hold or gain value but I also want it to feel like a piece I’m proud to own, something that says something about me as well.
In fairness, Christian doesn't usually make videos about watches he's actually selling. He makes videos about watches he's usually not selling, and uses them as a way to drive attention to his store. Like all his videos with London Jewelers. Well, other than the whole day-date holiday thing he did to promote the endless daydates he sells. But that's about the only one I can think of.
Haha, I dislike smartwatches too. I love tech in general but not them. The reason is they only get support for 3 years after that they're obsolete.also, my phone can do everything they do
i had a heart attack last christmas and was diagnosed with AF in January by my apple watch and your phone doesn't have a ecg on it the apple watch does i love all my watches but i owe my life to my apple watch
@@kennethswift9211 well at my age I don't need to worry about heart attacks so no use to me but glad you're okay and surprised that apple watches have that
You made some really good points on repainted / frankenstein and unknown quality ebay watches. My first watch that I bought myself a couple of years ago was an HMT Pilot watch from India (at around the price of an empty steel watch case). It had repainted dial, not-so-clean movement inside etc... It stopped a year later and I have moved on to Seiko SNK (realized that automatics without hand-wind option are not for me) then Lorus (good design, good size, I wish it was mechanical instead of quartz) but I still miss that old HMT. It got an old but still cool design with it's dark field-watch dial, thin case and domed glass that I could not find in the market even in the 3 or 4-times price-range. Sometimes all the logical reasons just get overwritten by a good design that you fell in love with :)
You don't know how bad the frankenwatch invasion are until you get into russian/USSR watches where most listings are franken and reliable, detailed descriptions and references often don't exist. It's starting to happen with east-german watches too but it's still in the "do you really think you're fooling anyone?" phase. ... granted if you put another movement inside an east-german Ruhla, it might lost its period accuracy, but that would still be a performance improvement...
I remember the days when I sat down together with my father and waited for that "beep beep beep beeeeeep" on the radio every day at 6 in the morning in order to set time on our average Ruhla watches. Man were they off.
To be fair, some Russian watches were basically patchwork from the factory. Remixing the parts from one brand is IMHO not the end of the world if we are talking about fun, low end pieces and it's disclosed.
Over the years I’ve relied on many Hirsch as well as Town and Country leather straps for my mid line mainstream dress watches and have been very happy with them. I’m amazed how over the years the standards keep getting higher in every segment.
Ok, I add one point only for collectors: don't buy a watch because is a "must", all of those watches that you see repeated in collections. It's not mandatory to have the SKX, the Alpinist, the flieger, the Chinese pilot chronograph, the Bambino... just get what you really love, not what you "should" have. Surprised about your first point, I agree with it, I don´t even feel comfortable in a boutique, I hate that atmosphere. I can't understand people buying Casio homages; really... I think is mean, Casio is cheap, where is the necessity? Repainted dials... what an irreparable crime, watches for people that follow the vintage trend but actually hate patina and only like new things, I'm really sad about all the irrecuperable watches that are being forever spoiled with this turn of the market. Vintage watches are trendy and that is creating a lot of problems, absurd prices, bad and unnecessary restorations, frankens...
The running gag in HK and probably in other countries as well, is that people like gangsters and corrupt officials buy pieces that hold value (e.g Rolex) because they can be sold without a loss when they need to flee
yup, i didnt know about the rolexs, but in India the corrupt politicians and gangsters usually have a lot of gold, e.g. rings bracelets and chains, bc of quick cash in case of emergency
You are always honest and straight to the point. I always appreciate your input and you are always delicate and respectful with your opinions. You are never knocking always debating with strong factual points
A bit surprised at the veiled shot at certain watch dealers with youtube channels. If they have really done something wrong or unscrupulous then stand by what you are saying and call them out by name.
There is one RUclips personality that is also a dealer who i truly used to enjoy because he authenticly appeared to enjoy watches for watches. Now it kinda seems as though his content is more business driven than for the sheer enjoyment of the hobby. This persons polarizing views alienate a certain demographic of his viewership which I'm certain they would disagree. They go from an enthusiast to an expert of what "value for money" looks like in 0-60. The more subs they get the more inflated their opinions become, almost commensurate. I was extremely pleased you touched on this briefly. You've never come off with any sense of arrogance or an elitist snobbery, just in my opinion a very genuine fellow who enjoys and appreciates many things which happens to include watches. Onward and upward!
Tim, there is very little I can say other than a profound thank you. I am proud to have you in the Gentry. You have inspired me. Onward, ever upwards and have a great weekend. Best regards, TGV
Great channel you have her Tristano. Not really into watches but came across you by accident. Really interesting learning about the world of watches and love your enthusiasm which comes across so well.
Hello TGV, I live in Belgium and here, we have a micro-brand called "Raidillon" (form the F1 speedway of Spa-Francorchamps), these watches are Automatic chronograph with a 7750 Valjoux inside, each models are made in limited series of 55 exemplars. I don't know why but a lot of Raidillon watches on the second hand market between 1000€ and 1800€, the price looks good and I'm very interested by some models. My questions are : "Do you know this mark?" And if it's yes, "Are they really good watches? (because of all watches on the second hand market)". Thanks you for all, you've made a great video! Bye.
Yeah Teddy can be a smugg little asss can't he...I hate guys who shit on some peoples watch choices cause it won't hold value or its not expensive enough. As long as its a functional watch buy what you like. Unless its these social media watches....some don't have any indices on the dials on watches like Chronographs....CHRONNOGRAPHS! 😫🤮
Glad to hear you touch on the real implications of buying counterfeit and replica watches. I tend to say this about most goods, but "if YOU didn't pay for it, somebody else did." Unfortunately, that person or those people often doesn't or don't have the luxury of paying cash like we do, rather they have to pay with their safety, their quality of life, or their health.
Buying compromises. My friend dreams of owning Omega moonwatch: he has probably spend more than 5000€ in couple of years flipping watches. And at the moment wears below 2000€ watch.... Positive thing in cheaper watches, is that you learn what you like. I had a dream of owning navitimer, Wearing seiko fligty teached me that i needed something completely different. End up buying rolex air-king instead.
I agree. Imagine buying a relatively expensive watch, that may well be a quality watch and good value, but it simply doesn't suit your lifestyle or taste. I think too, that owning less expensive watches makes you appreciate the quality that the legitimate higher end makers are offering once you get there.
I made the mistake of buying frankenwatches and cheap indian junk on ebay... not a very costly mistake tbh but one I feel now I had to make. I got too exited and didn't really know what I wanted. So now whenever i'm in the market for a new watch, this is in the back of my mind. ( also absolutely love those hugo movie clips, looking forward to them each time) Merci a toi Tristano
Thank you for these very open words and yes because of your enthusiasm I like your channel so much and bought already so many watches you liked/recommended....Airman/Accutron/Hamiltons (tons of Hamiltons 😂)
Investment watches. Here’s a sad story for you. Deleting some old photos from my phone I found one of a UK Rolex AD window from 2017. Explorer II. Milgauss ZBlue. Airking. Take your pick. But here’s the kicker. The Milgauss was discounted! Nobody interested. Fast forward three short years. No steel sports to be found anywhere. Everything wait listed. And on a well known grey market website September 2020 warranty cards available on immediately flipped Rolexes bought then sold for profit only. Nobody cares about their history. Their technology. Their heritage. Just armies of anonymous guys in raincoats buying and selling to line their pockets. That’s the state of watches in 2020.
You're right. Until very recently there were people travelling all around the country (even hundreds of miles from where they live!) going into numerous different Rolex ADs and going onto literally scores of waiting lists for the "hot" professional range models. Any time they got one they'd just instantly flip it! But the good news (here in the UK at least) is that almost all of the ADs finally seem to be taking serious action to filter out these dudes-in-raincoats. At my AD they now have a preferred-client model which basically demotes people on the lists if they don't live within the ADs "catchment area" (i.e. if there are other ADs which are _nearer_ to where they live.) They also prioritise people they have a trusted relationship with. A lot of the details about what tests they apply are extremely hush-hush. But I have been told it isn't just about purchase history as a crude sum, but about what kind of watches a person has. So someone who is _only_ interested in getting Rolex professional range may be less preferred than someone who has bought a couple of JLCs and then wants a Sub or GMT, for example? They are most likely prioritising people they know to be legit collectors. They are likely taking into account whether they'e seen the customer wearing the various previously purchased watches in the store weeks or months after buying, whether they've had watches serviced - that kind of thing. I guess no system is perfect, but, one way or another, they _have_ to burn the professional flippers - those bastards have basically stopped regular local customers from buying a professional range Rolex at retail price! :-0
It's amazing to me that even in an unprecedented worldwide economic downturn, the price of everything remains high. I figured there would at least be some relief or correction in markets for things that are arguably overpriced and non-essential, but not at all.
@@jdraven0890 Absolutely not! First of all: Luxury works even in crisis because the people who buy it still have money in a recession. The other part is: People who have cash want to get rid of it in fear of inflation or currency issues. Look at gold and silver. That is the same mechanism. Or Whisky or Art...
BB Wolf people with cash in the bank are getting no interest and like to hoover up inventory at Rolex ADs... But... we’re in unchartered waters, the whole game could go pop at any time. Stashing multiple multi grand watches away is as dangerous a game as any other investment where the bottom could drop out of the market with millions dumping their stock into the grey market as demand drains away. Could happen. The Rolex bubble may yet implode then we’ll see the flippers running for cover.
@@j.burgess4459 Like you I'm in the UK . I can't speak for JLC or Omega but in terms of the watch brand most people desire I don't share your view of AD's becoming any more 'reasonable' in their behaviour. The entire concept of only permitting someone to *maybe* buy a Rolex after 'forming a relationship' - ie throwing a huge amount at them over time, for stuff you probably don't want - is digusting, and sharp practice. Much as I appreciate Rolex' workmanship and quality their products have become no more than a commodity which is traded, and the AD's actively continue to rig the market. Any premium/luxury brand with a shred of integrity would put a stop to all the offensive practices for which Rolex AD's are well-known. Ask yourself why - when it could easily be done - Rolex does not?
Clicked like for the wonderful star wars reference at the start. Also, I recently bought a Gshock Casio & absolutely loving it - haven't changed it from my wrist since I bought it, it is simply my new everyday fave. In a weird way, if it wasn't for a DW watch I bought a long while ago I never would've discovered your channel and learned soo much since. I've made mistakes of impulse buying, much to my mums delight as she's since enjoyed that DW, plus a swatch, and a seiko watch where I've passed on the joy of watch wearing on to her. Thanks TGV for all your content, I thoroughly enjoy your channel. 💖
i've struggled all year to pin my criteria, but far more troubling is sourcing something that matches my taste. i'd like a memovox, something that's not too precious in condition maybe, but it doesn't interest me as much as clocks made by brand more famous for watches. an atmos in rhodium, boxed, probably via auction, appeals the most; arabic numerals, maybe blue dial or blued numerals. less risk in maintain the condition, seem to come in at lower prices. i only know of a few makers who've done mechanical clocks that are regularly seen around - there's a VC carriage clock that's wild - too expensive for me, and only seen a few pictures of one. very nice.
This video is the latest example why I like TGVs channel. I tried many others, they will be entertaining for a short while, then they start turning into a Tele shopping channel or a one brand channel. Great job, always entertaining, informative and classy. 👍
Thanks so much for the vid TGV! Was a bit surprised to see frankenwatches beat out fakes, but frankens have defined been enough to scare me off buying from eBay!
Good honest information, invaluable to any watch enthusiast at any level. Please keep making these videos, your knowledge, passion and integrity are much appreciated by many.
@@janihellberg6911 Glad you said that: I missed that point. Was going to comment to TGV isn't Watchfinder a RUclips seller but yeah they were probably a seller BEFORE RUclips.

As a fan of Casio, I'm glad to see when a watch connoisseur still appreciates them.
Casio is god tier 👌🏻
I have 3 casios, 1 being a gshock the other 2 being edifice. Alot of watch for the price
“It’s love when it makes you question your whole collection.” So true! This is the essence of what watch collecting comes down to.
When it comes to watches, I wouldn’t “watch” anyone else. The realest in the game. Keep it up.
Reason #11: Not buying a watch you want because the bandwagon doesn't like that watch.
💯
Or buying a watch cause all the youtubers say you need it to fill the list in your collection....You shouldn't have any list but what you like. For me its only solar and Auto in a field type catagory with no divers (so protreks and pilot/fieldwatches😂)...except I do like the new Bond watch.

And I've fallen into this trap too. I got some watches siiting in my box I don't like wearing cause I listened to the you got to have these in your collection think....not thinking if I really like it.
yes and often the not so successful models or versions get very sought after later on...

Yeah, Fuck the bandwagon
Drunk buying. Guilty as charged!

The man performed the engraving purely on trust that his minute fee would be sent AFTER DELIVERING THE PIECE! The man and his company are true diamonds in the rough. As I write this, I am even wearing one of his Binnacle Anchors! You should truly give him a good look.
As requested...what to avoid....the easiest recommendation I have for avoiding getting burnt....I would have to say probably site such as AliBaba and Aliexpress.....millions of watches that promise the moon and are for ridiculously low prices....but from what I can discern, are most likely wastes of time and money.
Sorry for the excessively long comment. Well done, my friend, onward and upward!!
I got several Casio Duro’s thanks to your reviews. Changed some bands because they are very customizable and not very expensive. They look pretty Bond to me and they are 200m water resistant
I own all three versions of the Duro. I put leather straps on both the gold and blue versions. Those are for casual wear and the black one is my beater watch.
Duro is the best intro or beater, easily. Always suggest it to someone new to watches as a gateway to the bigger world
Vince Regan still saving for an Omega, so many options so once I get in range that will be my grail
Slapped a nato and an orange "Planet Ocean" aluminium bezel insert on mine. Looks awesome for less than $100
I would add to the list: Don’t buy a watch based on a celebrity choice or advertisement!
I can't bring myself to buy an Omega even though I like 2 of their models, because I feel like guys who buy them are James Bond wanabees. I know this is not always the case, but will never own one for this reason. Celebrity endorsement make me run away from products.
👍🏻
But how many Rolex do see in movies being worn by celebrities 🤔
Yup, same for Rolex and Tag.
It's called "product placement".
Those watches aren't in the movies by happenstance.
Great Video !! I buy retail, from a local dealer. I pay more, but my money stays in the community, and i have established a nice relationship with someone who lives in my area, that value you can't put a price on.
Talking about "honor" and I'm asking "What year is it?". I totally agree, btw.
The drunk buy/lust buy is deadly accurate. You really need to give yourself a week of sleeping on it (per se) before you pull the trigger.
I loved the Star Wars intro. Darth Vader is my favorite character. Shout out to Hugo, he did great. Keep it up TGV.
#2: I was surprised it wasn't #1. But it makes sense now. I refuse to buy fake/replica for the same reasons.
#1: Yep, spot on. I don't see this is becoming a bigger issue because I don't look on the used market.
Those 2 reasons alone is why I only buy from Authorized dealers. I even verify they are Authorized from the watch companies website itself. You'd be surprised how many claim to be Authorized, yet they're not. So watch out for those.
I feel terrible about all the money I have waisted on "fashion watches" over the years. I was a Movado fan until i started studying Horology. This year i made the leap into a Breitling Heritage II. Feel so proud now. I wear a Tissot Seastar PVD as my work watch. Thing is tough as nails. Thank you Urban Gentry for all the words of wisdom.
First time watching your channel was like 'look, it's a guy talking about watches'. 6 (six) watches later, I have to watch you on smartphone with earbuds on, so the wife wouldn't catch me. :) Keep up the great job you're doing.
Don't tell her you are learning about 'horology', she might get the wrong idea!
Solid advice as usual! 👍 I absolutely love information like this. Keep up the good work TGV.
My recommendation would be not to buy "unwearable watches". When a watch ticks all the boxes but is e.g. too uncomfortable or too fragile, they will just end up collecting dust.
Looking forward to the next one!
Regards,
Koen
The force is with you, Tristano. But you are not a jedi yet!
Ngl, this channel has never steered me wrong from SKX to Omega. This advice is priceless.
Have a great weekend TGV. Thanks for your content and all your effort. We have been in a fairly extreme lockdown here in Melbourne, Australia. Channels like yours are helping me through it. Cheers!
So glad that you liked that Casio “Mission Impossible” piece! Because of you, I’m getting my own this weekend.
You are in for some serious fun, thank you and enjoy!
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry sadly the very watch was sold out in my country's official stores after the video was uploaded.. And I'm sure it wasn't a coincidence 😂
I pulled that trigger and as I sit here with it on my wrist I can only but smile.
Nothing like experimenting with an affordable watch. lol. If you need adapters for differant straps try countycomm. They sell some casio adapters.
M. G Ordered mine after watching TGV’s “rant” the other week!😍🤤🤣
Clicking the 'Like button' just for the intro!
But I'm shure the rest of the video will be also very nice.
Great video. Watches I avoid are specials linked to other businesses. Breitling Bentley would be one example of many . Just buy an 'unaffiliated' version.
I started watching your channel a month ago and I watch you every night before going to sleep. I dream about watches. Thanks for sparkling a new passion in me brother.
It's easy to fall out of love and back in love with anything. Consider disposing of a watch at least as carefully as purchasing one.
This is why I rarely sell watches. Always worried I'll miss what I sell
@@rustyspoonss Which happens! I used to have the very watch that TGV is wearing in this vid, gave it away, and then did regret it. Luckily, I saw his vid, and rebought it before they became scarce. It's in the mail now...
Drunk impulse purchase ... gives that extra punch to the hangover ;) Never mind explaining to the Mrs!
Honestly I love your videos, great content, great advice, great humour, great references... The list could go on forever. Thank you and keep up the good work
Funny part about late night inebriated watch buying is that after having a few drinks and watching one of your first reviews of the Speedy Reduced is exactly how that watch became a permanent part of my collection 😂😂😂
Thanks as always TGV-still my favorite watch channel (by far!)
Tom!!! Thank you so much my friend, that means the world to me.
Have a great weekend my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry Wishing you a great weekend as well!
@TGV - Your intros are always clever and funny! Also, your use of french word is always spot on and always in the right context 👍
I know it's not really related to the video but I just saw the new Accutron spaceview, and I so want it but I need to find $4k first 😢
You know what? I drunk bought my Squale onda laguna and I absolutely adore it. Never would have pulled the trigger without my good counselor Scotty the Scotch Whisky
Absolutely agree. One or two responsible drinks is enuff to make the purchase you’ve been over analysing for weeks! :-)
This is one of the best channels on RUclips, period. Very happy I found you my friend.
My casio arrived on Monday and I haven't taken it off my wrist yet.
That intro... Man you are such a nerd!
I wholeheartedly love it!
Wonderful video and informative as usual you are the true pontiff !
Love the authenticity. My favorite part is when he talks about the buying a watch simply for investment. I am looking for a watch that may hold or gain value but I also want it to feel like a piece I’m proud to own, something that says something about me as well.
“What’s up watch fam?!” 😂
Joao Gomes Shots fired at Theo and Harris 😂
Boom!
Was that a dig at Theo and Harris?
In fairness, Christian doesn't usually make videos about watches he's actually selling. He makes videos about watches he's usually not selling, and uses them as a way to drive attention to his store. Like all his videos with London Jewelers.
Well, other than the whole day-date holiday thing he did to promote the endless daydates he sells. But that's about the only one I can think of.
@@edwardsauve4836 wait does tgv have beef with christan
Haha, I dislike smartwatches too. I love tech in general but not them. The reason is they only get support for 3 years after that they're obsolete.also, my phone can do everything they do
would you wear one if it can functionally replace your phone?
@@tomshan7186 still no, because using a 6.39" display is painful for my eyes enough let alone a 1" display
i had a heart attack last christmas and was diagnosed with AF in January by my apple watch and your phone doesn't have a ecg on it the apple watch does i love all my watches but i owe my life to my apple watch
@@kennethswift9211 well at my age I don't need to worry about heart attacks so no use to me but glad you're okay and surprised that apple watches have that
@@kennethswift9211 It's not a watch - it's a medical device that also happens to give you the time.
You made some really good points on repainted / frankenstein and unknown quality ebay watches. My first watch that I bought myself a couple of years ago was an HMT Pilot watch from India (at around the price of an empty steel watch case). It had repainted dial, not-so-clean movement inside etc... It stopped a year later and I have moved on to Seiko SNK (realized that automatics without hand-wind option are not for me) then Lorus (good design, good size, I wish it was mechanical instead of quartz) but I still miss that old HMT. It got an old but still cool design with it's dark field-watch dial, thin case and domed glass that I could not find in the market even in the 3 or 4-times price-range. Sometimes all the logical reasons just get overwritten by a good design that you fell in love with :)
Seriously have some interesting/cool things on the wall/desk behind you, one day you should show some of them off!
Great vid btw
You don't know how bad the frankenwatch invasion are until you get into russian/USSR watches where most listings are franken and reliable, detailed descriptions and references often don't exist.
It's starting to happen with east-german watches too but it's still in the "do you really think you're fooling anyone?" phase.
...
granted if you put another movement inside an east-german Ruhla, it might lost its period accuracy, but that would still be a performance improvement...
I remember the days when I sat down together with my father and waited for that "beep beep beep beeeeeep" on the radio every day at 6 in the morning in order to set time on our average Ruhla watches. Man were they off.
To be fair, some Russian watches were basically patchwork from the factory. Remixing the parts from one brand is IMHO not the end of the world if we are talking about fun, low end pieces and it's disclosed.
"Seiko don't even know who I am!" Let's change that Gentry.
Thank you for all your Intel, it really puts everything in perspective overall. Just subscribed and will be watching. Cheers!
Over the years I’ve relied on many Hirsch as well as Town and Country leather straps for my mid line mainstream dress watches and have been very happy with them. I’m amazed how over the years the standards keep getting higher in every segment.
Ok, I add one point only for collectors: don't buy a watch because is a "must", all of those watches that you see repeated in collections. It's not mandatory to have the SKX, the Alpinist, the flieger, the Chinese pilot chronograph, the Bambino... just get what you really love, not what you "should" have.
Surprised about your first point, I agree with it, I don´t even feel comfortable in a boutique, I hate that atmosphere. I can't understand people buying Casio homages; really... I think is mean, Casio is cheap, where is the necessity? Repainted dials... what an irreparable crime, watches for people that follow the vintage trend but actually hate patina and only like new things, I'm really sad about all the irrecuperable watches that are being forever spoiled with this turn of the market. Vintage watches are trendy and that is creating a lot of problems, absurd prices, bad and unnecessary restorations, frankens...
This is so true. I hate this lol
The running gag in HK and probably in other countries as well, is that people like gangsters and corrupt officials buy pieces that hold value (e.g Rolex) because they can be sold without a loss when they need to flee
yup, i didnt know about the rolexs, but in India the corrupt politicians and gangsters usually have a lot of gold, e.g. rings bracelets and chains, bc of quick cash in case of emergency
My favourite watch channel and guy:) always a joy to watch and a down to earth guy who appreciates watches in all price ranges.
You are always honest and straight to the point. I always appreciate your input and you are always delicate and respectful with your opinions. You are never knocking always debating with strong factual points
A bit surprised at the veiled shot at certain watch dealers with youtube channels. If they have really done something wrong or unscrupulous then stand by what you are saying and call them out by name.
He will never say Federico's name
This is a treat, I was literally just finished watching your last iteration of this video! Enjoying the content.
There is one RUclips personality that is also a dealer who i truly used to enjoy because he authenticly appeared to enjoy watches for watches. Now it kinda seems as though his content is more business driven than for the sheer enjoyment of the hobby. This persons polarizing views alienate a certain demographic of his viewership which I'm certain they would disagree. They go from an enthusiast to an expert of what "value for money" looks like in 0-60. The more subs they get the more inflated their opinions become, almost commensurate. I was extremely pleased you touched on this briefly. You've never come off with any sense of arrogance or an elitist snobbery, just in my opinion a very genuine fellow who enjoys and appreciates many things which happens to include watches. Onward and upward!
Tim, there is very little I can say other than a profound thank you. I am proud to have you in the Gentry.
You have inspired me. Onward, ever upwards and have a great weekend.
Best regards,
TGV
7am on a Saturday, waking up to a new TGV video, awesome ✌️
Watching this video while drinking wine and I am lusting over watches :)
I feel like he called out Theo and Harris twice here.
You are not alone, how are there not more comments regarding this 😅
And the time teller lol
Where? Timestamp please!
Yep
I was looking for this exact comment.
Great channel you have her Tristano. Not really into watches but came across you by accident. Really interesting learning about the world of watches and love your enthusiasm which comes across so well.
Thank you Clive, I truly appreciate that.
Best regards,
TGV
Great video and all all good and valid points to keep in mind. Loved the intro with Hugo and Star Wars! 🔥
Came here for TGV, stayed because of Hugo
Hello TGV,
I live in Belgium and here, we have a micro-brand called "Raidillon" (form the F1 speedway of Spa-Francorchamps), these watches are Automatic chronograph with a 7750 Valjoux inside, each models are made in limited series of 55 exemplars.
I don't know why but a lot of Raidillon watches on the second hand market between 1000€ and 1800€, the price looks good and I'm very interested by some models.
My questions are : "Do you know this mark?" And if it's yes, "Are they really good watches? (because of all watches on the second hand market)".
Thanks you for all, you've made a great video!
Bye.
Great advice! Thank you!
Love the top ten lists. Great vid. Nice start to my Saturday with a coffee watching this.
Can't help but wonder if you're talking about Teddy Baldassarre, as he opened up his watch shop this year
Maybe he's talking about T3's watch shop?
Was my first thought too. Most of his reviews are watches out of my budget range,
Or the Horology House scandal?
What's up watch fam? = clearly talking about Christian from Theo & Harris
Yeah Teddy can be a smugg little asss can't he...I hate guys who shit on some peoples watch choices cause it won't hold value or its not expensive enough. As long as its a functional watch buy what you like. Unless its these social media watches....some don't have any indices on the dials on watches like Chronographs....CHRONNOGRAPHS! 😫🤮
I like the closeups in the video editing. Gives more emphasis
I truly believe you've covered it all TGV, people who buy fake watches should just buy a watch with some history. Not to just look good👍😊
Glad to hear you touch on the real implications of buying counterfeit and replica watches. I tend to say this about most goods, but "if YOU didn't pay for it, somebody else did." Unfortunately, that person or those people often doesn't or don't have the luxury of paying cash like we do, rather they have to pay with their safety, their quality of life, or their health.
The Franken watches are out of control! The colors, ohhhh, the colors!
If you’ve got 2 1/2 minutes, I did a spoof on my channel. ruclips.net/video/S2Lc196lGpc/видео.html
Buying compromises. My friend dreams of owning Omega moonwatch: he has probably spend more than 5000€ in couple of years flipping watches. And at the moment wears below 2000€ watch.... Positive thing in cheaper watches, is that you learn what you like. I had a dream of owning navitimer, Wearing seiko fligty teached me that i needed something completely different. End up buying rolex air-king instead.
I agree. Imagine buying a relatively expensive watch, that may well be a quality watch and good value, but it simply doesn't suit your lifestyle or taste. I think too, that owning less expensive watches makes you appreciate the quality that the legitimate higher end makers are offering once you get there.
Your point being?
Ho,dear image not wearing a watch not worth over 2000€.
I made the mistake of buying frankenwatches and cheap indian junk on ebay... not a very costly mistake tbh but one I feel now I had to make. I got too exited and didn't really know what I wanted. So now whenever i'm in the market for a new watch, this is in the back of my mind. ( also absolutely love those hugo movie clips, looking forward to them each time) Merci a toi Tristano
Thank you for these very open words and yes because of your enthusiasm I like your channel so much and bought already so many watches you liked/recommended....Airman/Accutron/Hamiltons (tons of Hamiltons 😂)

Hugo is the best, he rules. Hugo for president!

Investment watches. Here’s a sad story for you. Deleting some old photos from my phone I found one of a UK Rolex AD window from 2017. Explorer II. Milgauss ZBlue. Airking. Take your pick. But here’s the kicker. The Milgauss was discounted! Nobody interested. Fast forward three short years. No steel sports to be found anywhere. Everything wait listed. And on a well known grey market website September 2020 warranty cards available on immediately flipped Rolexes bought then sold for profit only. Nobody cares about their history. Their technology. Their heritage. Just armies of anonymous guys in raincoats buying and selling to line their pockets. That’s the state of watches in 2020.
You're right. Until very recently there were people travelling all around the country (even hundreds of miles from where they live!) going into numerous different Rolex ADs and going onto literally scores of waiting lists for the "hot" professional range models. Any time they got one they'd just instantly flip it! But the good news (here in the UK at least) is that almost all of the ADs finally seem to be taking serious action to filter out these dudes-in-raincoats. At my AD they now have a preferred-client model which basically demotes people on the lists if they don't live within the ADs "catchment area" (i.e. if there are other ADs which are _nearer_ to where they live.) They also prioritise people they have a trusted relationship with. A lot of the details about what tests they apply are extremely hush-hush. But I have been told it isn't just about purchase history as a crude sum, but about what kind of watches a person has. So someone who is _only_ interested in getting Rolex professional range may be less preferred than someone who has bought a couple of JLCs and then wants a Sub or GMT, for example? They are most likely prioritising people they know to be legit collectors. They are likely taking into account whether they'e seen the customer wearing the various previously purchased watches in the store weeks or months after buying, whether they've had watches serviced - that kind of thing. I guess no system is perfect, but, one way or another, they _have_ to burn the professional flippers - those bastards have basically stopped regular local customers from buying a professional range Rolex at retail price! :-0
It's amazing to me that even in an unprecedented worldwide economic downturn, the price of everything remains high.
I figured there would at least be some relief or correction in markets for things that are arguably overpriced and non-essential, but not at all.
@@jdraven0890 Absolutely not! First of all: Luxury works even in crisis because the people who buy it still have money in a recession. The other part is: People who have cash want to get rid of it in fear of inflation or currency issues. Look at gold and silver. That is the same mechanism. Or Whisky or Art...
BB Wolf people with cash in the bank are getting no interest and like to hoover up inventory at Rolex ADs... But... we’re in unchartered waters, the whole game could go pop at any time. Stashing multiple multi grand watches away is as dangerous a game as any other investment where the bottom could drop out of the market with millions dumping their stock into the grey market as demand drains away. Could happen. The Rolex bubble may yet implode then we’ll see the flippers running for cover.
@@j.burgess4459 Like you I'm in the UK . I can't speak for JLC or Omega but in terms of the watch brand most people desire I don't share your view of AD's becoming any more 'reasonable' in their behaviour. The entire concept of only permitting someone to *maybe* buy a Rolex after 'forming a relationship' - ie throwing a huge amount at them over time, for stuff you probably don't want - is digusting, and sharp practice. Much as I appreciate Rolex' workmanship and quality their products have become no more than a commodity which is traded, and the AD's actively continue to rig the market. Any premium/luxury brand with a shred of integrity would put a stop to all the offensive practices for which Rolex AD's are well-known. Ask yourself why - when it could easily be done - Rolex does not?
Clicked like for the wonderful star wars reference at the start. Also, I recently bought a Gshock Casio & absolutely loving it - haven't changed it from my wrist since I bought it, it is simply my new everyday fave.
In a weird way, if it wasn't for a DW watch I bought a long while ago I never would've discovered your channel and learned soo much since. I've made mistakes of impulse buying, much to my mums delight as she's since enjoyed that DW, plus a swatch, and a seiko watch where I've passed on the joy of watch wearing on to her. Thanks TGV for all your content, I thoroughly enjoy your channel. 💖
Thank you TGV! The points of discussion you highlighted are so true... excellent job once again! Stay strong dear TGV
Dam I was really waiting for the TGV Flight master
And hello! May the force be with hugo!
i've struggled all year to pin my criteria, but far more troubling is sourcing something that matches my taste. i'd like a memovox, something that's not too precious in condition maybe, but it doesn't interest me as much as clocks made by brand more famous for watches. an atmos in rhodium, boxed, probably via auction, appeals the most; arabic numerals, maybe blue dial or blued numerals. less risk in maintain the condition, seem to come in at lower prices. i only know of a few makers who've done mechanical clocks that are regularly seen around - there's a VC carriage clock that's wild - too expensive for me, and only seen a few pictures of one. very nice.
Thanks for this. Very well put together. And Hugo is a boss!
You have admirable integrity my friend
Wouldn't feel true to myself wearing a fake watch or fake anything. If I cant afford the real thing then I dont bother or I'll save up.
@Marcus Tulius Cicero
If you don't want to throw it away, maybe try to get a custom dial with a fantasy brand name and start a DIY project.
Man I learn so much on your channel not only about watches but also things I can use both personally & professionally.
This video is the latest example why I like TGVs channel.
I tried many others, they will be entertaining for a short while, then they start turning into a Tele shopping channel or a one brand channel.
Great job, always entertaining, informative and classy. 👍

Great video and great HARD BOILED poster...got the same one
Very nice video, thanks for good work. Enjoyed it a lot and will keep in mind those good-point recommendations.
Would you count the Hamilton movements, like the H10, as difficult to service, as it doesn't have a regulation lever?
No as it’s ETA based so they can probably swap in parts
@@britannia2129 I heard Swatch consider the movement disposable and just swap the whole thing out.
Mark Gill Oh right- given that own a Powermatic 80 watch, that’s not too encouraging!
@@markgill8444 That's stupid though. I guess perhaps just ask a local watch repairer if they have experience with this type of movements.

I actually missed tgv making 'Top 5's' and 'Top 10's' like this....
Thanks so much for the vid TGV! Was a bit surprised to see frankenwatches beat out fakes, but frankens have defined been enough to scare me off buying from eBay!
Good honest information, invaluable to any watch enthusiast at any level. Please keep making these videos, your knowledge, passion and integrity are much appreciated by many.
I can’t help thinking you may be off Federico’s Christmas card list.
I've understood that Federico was a watchdealer before he was a youtuber.
@@janihellberg6911 Glad you said that: I missed that point. Was going to comment to TGV isn't Watchfinder a RUclips seller but yeah they were probably a seller BEFORE RUclips.
Speaking of grey market, thoughts on jomashop? 👀
My dad bought an omega there it's still fine
I bought a Speedy Pro Sapphire sandwich on Jomas 4 years ago. Zero problems.
I've bought 4 Hamilton's from Joma. Perfectly satisfied with service and product.
I've bought 3 or 4 items from them. Always had a good experience. It's grey market, but I've dodged issues thus far.
I've bought several watches from them, the real deal, zero problems. The one I would stay away is creationwatches.com
Awesome information, as for me.; i play safe, Citizen-Seiko-Casio-Timex....done.
