War Room Update: Watch Collecting, G-Shock, Movies & Desk Accessories
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Today we return to a Gentry favorite as I share some new pick ups for my war room, including some G-Shock goodies, new luxury leather desk accessories from Carl Friedrik, and some classic, must-see movies from John Woo and Takashi Miike. I also debut an exciting new strap from Wrist Candy Watch Club.
As always, in true Gentry fashion, we conclude with some watch collection chat as I contemplate my next watch purchases including G-Shock, Breitling, and Grand Seiko. I also discuss the main cause of my watch seller’s remorse when it comes to collecting timepieces.

Thank you for watching The Urban Gentry channel, home of the #wristwatchcheck ! Check out my other videos for more watch and lifestyle content.
I'm really enjoying the videos getting back to a real Gentry feel.
Same, I love seeing the old style back.
Me as well. The "old school Gentry" was what brought me to the dance 5 years ago. Incidentally, I've never left. :)
Wat can I say..enjoying your videos as always, especially “the war room”,”edc”.... takes me back to the old GENTRY. “Ever consider movie director or film editing?” You would be great at it.. keep them coming TGV..until next time, be safe and shout out to your wife.
@@stevecross1725 he would be so great at it.. his intros are so amazing.. and so much work xD .. but they are worth the hazzle..
@@kennethMblake i love that he is so open minded.. watches arent everything in the world.. they are important but there is so much more out there.. :)
This is a TGV i've fallen in love with years ago, I'm so glad he's back, I know this will sound stupid but it makes me feel 4 years younger, remainds me of all the good times that were happening to me back then, time when Imstarted collecting watches and bought my first mechanical watch. Thank you TGV
I'm a gal and bougth a G-shock in rose gold "color" last year.... my watch for this year ( My one per year rule ) will be a citizen sailhawk. I have been passionate about sailing all my life and the deeper I dig and study the watch the more I find it facinating...
Hello fellow lady watch collector! Best regards.
The fans have asked for more Hugo, and you sir have absolutely delivered! 😂
yes, indeed!
TGV, I FINALLY bought my first luxury watch. I got a brand new Rolex OP 36 black sunburst dial. It is marvelous and have been completely chuffed to bits! Thank you for all your content to help me narrow down this new found love of mine. The 3 6 and 9 double bars is truly unique and it gives this watch the subtle bling that separates it from anything else.
Yours truly,
Josh
El Alamein? I lost a second great uncle in the Battle of El Alamein, Operation Snipe. He was a member of the Rifles, he's buried out there in the war cemetery in Egypt. Respect to you dear man!
I really enjoy your new style. You also look happy. Good for you.
Agree 100%
Oooooh I’d love to see a video of yours on survival essentials! Also please do an updated video on great watch picks for women who love men’s watches! Love your channel! Thanks
Get a speedy, looks cool on my wife 😎
and Hugo🦖❓
I'd say SKX013 (if you don't own one already that is).
Another old school Gentry video, loving the War Room!
Hi TGV, I'm on pause with watches for a while, my last purchase was a 1970's Raketa, vintage Russian watch. But I can still window shop!! 😂👍
Thanks for the update, be happy and safe!
After 12 years, I finally completed my business degree and as a treat, I bought a watch you featured not too long ago. Bought the Hamilton Khaki. Thanks for the recommendation and glad to see you're both safe and sound and still making videos.
This pandemic has really changed my POV on watches. I really can't focus on frivolities now and as a medical worker my tastes have tended toward practicality. Right now I'm only wearing my Casio F-91 or my SKX, depending on whether I'm in a quarantined zone or not.
Hats off to you Sir 👌👌
Stay healthy!
Sinn EZM 12 designed specifically for healthcare? :) www.sinn.de/en/Modell/EZM_12.htm
Take care man!
You my friend need a G-Shock
My collection is:
-Dan Henry 1962, "Evil panda"
-Bulova Accutron, full gold, from 1965. it was my great grandfather's watch.
Further plans which got postponed by quarantine: Bring the Bulova back to perfectly running conditions
Hugo has enough juice in jail to have an iphone!! Love it.
--Michael
Love the strap! One of my childhood friends fought in El Alamein, he was one of the kindest, gentlest people I have ever known. He would teach me, a 9 year old kid, about the war in exchange for a little help in his garden.
Therefore, the name is very close to my heart, hopefully I'll be able to pick one up
Currently holding still, trying to enjoy the watches I own. It’s easy to look past what you own and get greedy for what you don’t have. But possibly a good middle ground will be buying some TGV inspired wrist candy natos!
I've purged recently, sold my Stowa Classic, Zelos diver, Glycine Combat, Laco Flieger and a Casio Mudman, I'm now down to 4 watches...a 2000 42mm Speedy 3570.50, a Sarb017 and 2 basic Casio beaters, sometimes a purge is a must!! Keep up the good work TGV, long live the Gentry!!
I love the mouse rug! As someone who has a large collection of Persian rugs, I’ll have to pick one up
Having watched the channel for a couple of years I was inspired to sell on my fashion watches and began a gradual journey of upgrading to affordable iconic watches like my Seiko Flightmaster, Seiko million dollar $100 dress watch, Orient Bambino, Citizen Nighthawk, Timex Marlin, Casio F91W and of course, Hamilton Khaki Mechanical - waaaay more pleasure from these watches than all my fashion watches combined and it’s thanks to channels like this that spread the message :)
Fantastic to see a copy of Darkplace in the background! Poss one of the best comedic rollercoasters ever!
Hi TGV. I really enjoyed the latest War Room video. I’d love to have my own and maybe one day I will but right now I’m months into major home renovations which has redirected my purchasing priorities. I’ve said this before, but here it is again, I’m really enjoying your videos of late. OG at its finest in my opinion. They keep reinforcing the importance of maintaining the fun factor for me and I’m grateful to you for that. Keep on reminding me to enjoy life and all the fun things about it. Thanks brother. You’re inspiring🙏🏻👍🏻. O & U to your good self and the fellow Gentry.
Wow. That was the fastest 24 minutes of my life. Extremely enjoyable. Love the war room vids. Dying to know what the new business is. So many interests, so little time. TGV, you should do a video on all-time best action movies . Like a top 50 movies. I hope you and the Mrs. are living well and enjoying life. Thanks TGV. SEIKO IS KING !!!
Yes that would be fun. Heat is in my top 5.
Great to see you are doing well TGV. Great video too!
All the best!
Brilliant video again! I used to buy designer-brand watches like Armani. For the past year however I started to get into the established brands and watching your video's and they really broadened my horizon. I'm a student so my budget is limited but I'm loving my Timex and Casio right now! Planning to get a classier Seiko 5 soon for graduating! Though my collection is at 14 right now, my taste keeps evolving. Keep up the entertaining and informative video's! Love from The Netherlands
Cool, I feel like people who buy designer watches have an inner watch obsession dying to come out but they don’t know enough about watches for it to find its way out. TGV’s channel really helps people’s inner watch obsession come out and express itself for real
Enjoy this hobby, buy what you love, wear what you like 👍🏻🏴
One thing about designer/fashion watches, they can introduce people to the world of horology.
Great thing about this hobby there is something of interest at every price point. Don't have to spend lots to be entertained.
I highly regret having flipped the SNK809. Even though it barely got any wrist time. It was my rush to reduce the collection down to a two-pieces-collection. But now I understand you, sometimes you fancy that one little watch or this one. In fact I want to increase my collection BUT only with ultra unique watches. I found a little hi-beat vintage seiko. Square, empty black glossy dial, 32mm. A perfect restaurant dinner watch. 💪😍
I really enjoy watching your videos, this one in particular. Especially towards the end when you talk about the cyclical nature of buying and selling things that you may regret later. I have this syndrome 10x I’m always buying and selling then re-buying. I am 22 years old so I know there’s time to buy things back but I just wanted to say how much I resonated with that statement. And yes there are plenty of us out there like this.
My watch collection has gone over quite an change during these last few months. A few months ago I started to get into the used and second hand market by getting a few watches from an online auction site.
Key takeaways from that: Know exactly what you want, make all the possible research that you can, make much more and then maybe put out an offer. And also take into the price the cost to have it cleaned and repaired. I have made a few errors but learned my ways.
I have also sold off a few watches myself on the same site. Mostly because I felt it was watches that just didn't get any wrist time and they really deserved it.
My collection now is one that I am quite happy with, I got 6 or 7 that I rotate during a week along with a few Casios and Timex watches that I keep but tool watches and because I love collecting them.
The intro was hilarious! You have a real talent for comedy. Love the channel and your humble and gracious self.
I've actually started selling some of my watches to consolidate. I've been planning on getting a Hamilton for a while now. But I just never felt like I should buy it I had too many watches. But I have been enjoying selling surprisingly. I hope people wear them in good health.
Recently acquired a 1970 Bulova Accutron 218-2 that I wear on a Speidel Mach 1 Twist-O-Flex bracelet. Thanks for turning me on to this classic piece of horology! I also acquired, last fall, a 2012 model Geochron. I highly recommend one for your war room!
Since the start of the pandemic and all the isolation and closures, I've been wearing my SKX-007 almost all the time. I even stopped switching into my "work watches" (nothing crazy, just a Sinn 104 and a Jazzmaster Auto Chrono - but I enjoy them!). The SKX is reliable, durable, and easy to read at a glance - lume is fantastic. The day-date complication is incredibly practical, too. No matter what the day throws my way, I know I'll never have to worry about my watch. If I am ever parted from it and need to leave in a hurry, I do have a "go bag" in the closet by the door (since you brought those up), with another SXK-007 tucked safely inside.
Purchasing goal the second half of this year is pretty basic. Who doesn't enjoy lusting after high-end pieces and appreciating the crafstmanship and legacy behind them, but a Seamaster is a more likely purchase for me before the end of 2020.
"Blood in - blood out"... exactly how I roll, TGV. Just sold my Yema, Doxa and Seiko Arnie for a Panerai (from Watchbox - thanks for the discount!). Please don't let me buy another watch for at least a year. That "unboxing rush" is addictive.
Great video, Tristano. You should do a video discussion of the wallpapers in you computer. Saludos!
Your War Room looks very cozy I use to like the old one but this looks like a good place to be.
Just bought my son his first proper watch for finishing primary school
Got him a tactical looking baby g shock...it looks great on his wrist.
Spent some time with him in Edinburgh on Saturday looking at Omega, Rolex, Grand Seikos etc. I think I've started his watch obsession..
BTW, Think I need a g shock as well...
You sound like a great father. Thank you sir and keep being awesome.
I hope your son loves and enjoys it.
Great comment, it really Brough a smile to my face. O&U!
Best regards,
TGV
What a lucky boy, a GShock at 11/12 is the coolest. Mind you at 59 I’d still wear one too. 🏴👍🏻 All the best from the West.
@@jimmccaig7946 cheers Jim, West is best! 👍
I purchased both a UGWC tshirt and the new wrist candy NATO, quite excited for both to arrive. My father passed a little over a month ago; he knew what a watch enthusiast I was and he left me his Rolex Submariner 5513 that he got shortly after I was born. I had it reconditioned (no polishing) and have been wearing it proudly ever since.
I have been going more into micros on one hand while consolidating on the other. I've picked up a Ming 17.06 Copper and Kurono Mori by Hajime Asaoka which I consider as real milestone additions. I also traded in several watches to pick up a Nomos Tangente and the Aqua Terra Worldtimer which were goals for me.
Future plans revolve around unique materials for dial like abalone and carbon and other gemstones. That will be complimented by going after other grails over a longer period. I feel a lot clearer about what attributes I like in watches and my ethos has changed completely. I've also become quite a strap addict - again focusing on exotic leathers. Really enjoy how they change the look and feel of my watches.
My wife is also now interested in the hobby so I now look for pieces we can both wear as part of my focus. All in all, the last year has been a really interesting and enjoyable one in terms of my collection. Looking forward to future.
I like your new videos. The diverse material is always interesting.
My collection has changed a bit this year. I purchased a 1967 Benrus field watch like yours. Most recently, I took a big leap and acquired a 1993 36mm Tudor Submariner in a blue dial. I absolutely love it. Your review from a while back helped me make an educated purchase. Now I'm off to buy a TGV mug. Cheers!
Glad to see a return to some of the old Urban Gentry video themes. Still looking forward to that art collection video. Just bought a Longines Hydroconquest L3.742.4.56.6. What a great watch for the price - Ceramic bezel, automatic Swiss dive watch for under $2000. Plus the blue dial catches light beautifully. I think you would really get a kick out of it.
Who else sees Hugo and automatically clicks like? lol
Right here!!!
I see a new TGV video, I click like, regardless... ☺
Hugo is on the loose.
On stage.
And killing it!
Last seen on Britain's got talent with keyboard and singing accompanied by a few dancers!
ruclips.net/video/kgIi1s1e33U/видео.html
But seriously , having Hugo provides levity.
So bring on the bloke everyone in a while.
Me, but why is he in jail? I must have missed something?
I like your mentality around collecting watches. I've started to realize that you have to handle watches in the flesh to really appreciate what you like. Thanks for the insights
For years I use to say G Shocks are the axe body spray of watches. This channel completely changed my mind and now I'm a collector.
Enjoyed the update! I can see you selling watches/bands/watch products. You definitely have the background and are a natural salesman!
Awesome video again!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Beautiful watch strap you design there!!
Thank you my freind, it means a lot to me.
O&U!!!
Best regards,
TGV
You are the reason why I got into watch collecting last year, by beginning to actually check what watches I already owned. Previously, I would just wear a watch for a few years, seeing it as just a time keeper, forgetting why I bought it in the first place.
At the beginning of the year, I rounded up all my quartz watches, two Wengers and the Flighty's predecessor, the 7T34, and had them serviced. I absolutely adore the latter, even though the bracelet is rubbish. I have no clue what strap to use for a full gold-toned watch. Maybe the new El Alamein, although it is 19mm.
I've purchased an SNKL23, SNXS79, SKX007 (modded) and a SNA411. Also a Duro and a G-Shock GWM-5610, Timex Ironman Enduro 30. I'm currently wearing my first-generation Mercer Voyager diver.
Oh, I also bought my first Invicta, the 1953, ref. 31920, which is a great watch I adore.
I'm saving up to send my Oris Big Crown Chronograph in for service.
There are a few other watches I'm looking at, including a Seiko SARX045, but apart from that and a dress watch, maybe a Marlin, I will be saving up for my grail watches, conveniently, all Omegas.
Thank you for reigniting my love for watches.
I just started my watch collection. I have purchased the gshock dw5600, military inspired edition as I go into my first year of college and after watching your channel to figure out what type of watch I should get, I now understand the beauty of watches and how someone could spend so much money on beautiful pieces of craftsmanship.
Following you and a few FB watch groups has curbed my buying habits with watches. Just enjoying what others have bought and reviewed.
Another great video from you and Hugo. Thanks.
Hahaha haha you gotta love that Hugo, 'accidentally eaten a inmate'
That El Alamein strap is gorgeous TGV! I've already placed my order. Also, if your new business venture is editing I have no doubt you'll excel given the phenomenal editing ability you've been showing as of late. Keep it up!
Thank you so much, I am deeply flattered.
Onwards and upwards my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
Thanks for bringing us along the tour of the War Room. Very fun video!
TGV, loved the video! If you have the time and inclination, you may choose to look into getting an Amateur Radio (HAM Radio) license and adding a hand-held radio to your emergency kit. The test is painless if you crack the book and it opens up an amazing new community of people.
Hey I'm late to this party, but what fun! I love seeing people's books and I'd watch your camera linger across your bookshelves for a while actually. When you were talking about your Navitimer and the regret in having sold the blue one I had the thought that perhaps it IS a good thing not to just have the funds to buy any and every watch that catches our eye. Yes, who doesn't want all the money one can have, yet in our hobby I do like the focus having a limited amount to spend. I think it makes you do more research, enjoy the feeling of the hunt and, in the end maybe feeling a bit more rewarded by our choices...even the ones we later change our mind on. Speaking of that I have just bought the Yema Flygraf Pilot M1 for myself and myn family got together to buy my brother the Yema SupermanHeritage for his birthday. All thanks to you for bringing the brand to my attention,. Cheers man.
I just found the channel recently and I am so glad it will be continuing so enjoy the videos and have learned so much about watches and looking at my own collection.
Thank you
Hugo is like Rico Suave...charm and that voice...grabbing all the fine divás.
Great videos and suggestions. I love the leather goods. Love your watch collection, from Seikos to Rolex and beyond. Please keep up the good work.
Indeed.. the last bit about selling and remorse, very very true! I smiled that whole segment... I'm a serial flipper... the cycle is real! Haha, cheers my friend!
Great to see you well TGV. We don’t get to see much USA news here in the UK, but the crisis has hit us hard and I can imagine it’s probably worse over there. I recently got the new Lorier Neptune that was released in May. I’ve loved this watch ever since you reviewed the first version so it has been amazing to finally get one and I think the Series 3 is probably Lauren and Lorenzo’s best yet. So a massive thanks to you for switching me onto this brand. Keep safe and see you soon!
Use of the 24 Ring Tone is so awesome!
My GF: "...does that guy have a Persian carpet mouse pad??"
Fantastic video TGV! Cheers to the new and improved war room!
I love the content of your videos. I’m not a nostalgic guy but there are a so many things in your videos that remind me of my childhood. I’m a 80’s kid 😉. My collection is expending and I just got back my Datejust 16014 from service after months of waiting due to the confinement. I also just ordered the beautiful stainless steel Casio A1000D - 7EF. Pretty happy 😊
Made me think about your walks in the park with little Erny! Love it 😊👌
TGV I don't how I missed the fact that you're in Philly. I'm from the area and I hope I get to run into you sometime. Huge fan of your channel. Glad to see you're safe and well!!!
tchotchkes with tgv. Love it. Thanks for sharing and for verbalizing that dilemma going on in your head. You are not alone.
Ordered a nato as soon as you showed a picture of it in the video. Then I finished watching the video. Good stuff!
Congratulations on the great NATO straps! Definitely a must have! Special kudos to you for paying tribute to the brave soldiers who fought in El Alamein. I am italian and, alas, Italy was clearly on the wrong side of the battlefield there, no question about it. The Italian soldiers received the honour of arms for that battle: I like to think the memory of the soldiers who fight with courage and honour should be cherished and respected, in the hope that the same values can inspire our lives in times of peace. Army General Paolo Caccia Dominioni devoted his life to preserving the memory of those who perished on the battlefield, and he designed and built the Italian memorial and mausoleum.
My father has been there, amazing place he said. My father being Italian, his family also suffered.
Grazie fratello,
Best regards,
TGV
All I do is invite friends over ,smoke cigars, sip Cognac and play your videos online. I don't even need a pianist playing lounge jazz in the background because you
ALREADY HAVE IT! Cheers for the UG!
Last watch I've added recently was a Willard homage, which I'm actually quite happy with as I can wear it as a tool/edc watch and not worry about damaging an expensive classic, or an expensive reissue.
Superb update to the SOTWR (state of the war room). Having to work from home for the foreseeable future I've set up my mini office and that CF leather desk mat looks very tempting. Love the G-Shock magazine too. Always great to see these videos. Stay safe, onwards and upwards and in the words of Hugo, Toodlepip till next time 👍
happy to see you enjoying these videos ;)
i own among others, like/because of you, the Navitimer Cosmonaute (lemania), the Stowa Marine 36, the Oris Big Crown Moonphase 38mm, the Seiko Pogue, the Omega Speedmaster Professional, the Casio Gshock DW5600-BB1er, 2 vintage Timex Viscount and Marlin, the seiko SNKL23J1, and i like Them all !!
Thanks to you for giving me this new passion TGV since a few years ;) My collection will expand may be with a Fortis Cosmonaut (lemania), a Grand Seiko GMT 9F (SNBG005), a DayJust II 126234, a Doxa SUB 300T... and why not some vintage ones too (Omega Constellation pan, Universal Geneve Polerouter, cartier Tank).
So i'm still not in my reduction phase !! LOL :D
The Hugo bits get more nerdy every week... love it, haha
One of your past videos made me go buy the victorinox inox automatic with blue face , I’m still incredibly happy with this purchase .
So happy to hear that, thank you Guy for sharing that.
Here's to many year of enjoyment!!!
Best regards,
TGV
I’m enjoying the tone of the videos more since the transition back. I don’t know how lucrative things are and I hope you’re doing well, but I appreciate the shift. Good luck with everything and thank you for all the content.
Just ordered the new strap from wristcandy and bought a different strap as well. First time ordering from them. Thanks TGV!
at last! the urban gentry we all came to love! g shock great book, pure gentry and great ideas of design, deco and watches! thank you for a bunch of great ideas for my own war room! cheerio TGV and stay healthy from Greece. Kostas
i recently gone from a 20 watch collection to a 4 piece collection. speedmaster, breitling skyracer, certina ds action and grand seiko.. it gave me a lot of piece of mind!! know i am saving for a nice dress watch or a navitimer.
Thanks for the update....dont miss out the journey to japan - it is a great experience, even if you do not buy a watch there....keep up the good work! Cheers!
Loving the new content. After being a smart watch user for a long time, I just bought a Glycine Airman Double 12 World timer 42. I’m loving it! I’m still using my gps watch to track my runs and cycling but when I dress to impress, the airman looks so much more sophisticated.
That’s hilarious I started The Sopranos again a couple weeks ago. On the last episode of Season 2. Last time I watched it about two years ago I was a casual watch collector, now I’m sorta obsessed. I didn’t realize how many Rolexes are in the show. They are almost literally in every scene.(not just Tone’s President either, even Furio wears a President.)
You have in many ways described my collecting habits. Always there is internal friction in buying and letting go. In my case my watches aren't generally worth anything to sell so buying just increases the size of the collection. Always torn to add to it because the collection is getting big.
Oh Boy thats what i need after 8 hours of learning !
Cool stuff TGV. The war room is looking great 👌. The last couple of months I've been "blessed" with some work/maintenance around the house wich ate quite a bit of my savings. Therefore a Casio GA-2100 and a new fidgety pocket knife had to do. So far I have no regrets and with a little bit of patience I'll be back in to more serious watch collecting.
Looking forward to the next one.
Regards,
Koen
Love the gshock mag.. Gshock is a brand i have returned to time and time again since the 80's.. Just purchased yet another.. Omegas etc come and go in my collection.. Alternatively, I have never sold / moved on a gshock! Keep the great videos coming..
My watch collection bagan around a year and a half ago with a subscription to watch gang and a monthly subscription.At first I enjoyed getting a surprise in the mail every month but recently have wised up and I canceled that now I buy what I like. Now I’m wanting to spend more on some choice pieces. I’m going to start with a Glycine combat, but I do have a taste for G-Shocks lol I’m all over the place in my collection! Anyway I’m glad you are enjoying the path your on and wish you the best!
Love the new style. You look happier, relaxed and enjoying the new journey...so are we :) Thanks TGV.
Another hilarious Hugo bit lol. Keep up the good work TGV! Love the new nato strap!
Thank you Parth :D
O&U!
Best regards,
TGV
Your videos are great! Always good to wind down to. Really informative and helpful. Keep up the good work! Watching from the UK
I’ve purged some super budget watches. Still have a few g shocks for doing more rugged work, an Apple Watch for while I’m at work since I have so many timers etc it’s nice not constantly looking at my phone and lastly I have my Daytona oyster Rolex for special occasions.
Man with a bulls head is a Minotaur. Theseus was tasked with killing the Minotaur which was located in the center of a complex labyrinth. See Edith Hamilton's Mythology, Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes should be able to verify this, I hope. Quite an entertaining video, it seems you are enjoying presenting it as much as we enjoy watching it. Stay calm and keep up the good work - All the best, RKL.
TGV you are a true gentleman valuing the little things and doing it with great love! Will continue to gladly support you and your wife!
Thank you so much Joseph, I deeply appreciate that.
You are a true gent yourself!
Onwards and upwards,
Best regards,
TGV
Those NATO straps are amazing. Great work TGV. 👍
You have some interesting beautiful things. Love the heritage inspired watch straps. Reminds me of the ribbons that war medals are suspended on, perhaps we could find the ribbon colours of the Victoria Cross? Cant wait to see the Casio all blinged up. Good luck with the watch collection, I suppose getting rid is like pulling your finger nails out 😵
I put the hobby on ice to study abroad. Still, I brought my favorite ones with me and haven't gotten too many cravings for now. Also I noticed once I took some distance from the collection that I don't really needed some of them so I sold most of them and and now only have 6: a Hamilton, a Seiko, a Citizen, a Skagen, a Casio and a Kisai. My omega went as a graduation gift for my brother and in all honesty, that has given me much more happiness than wearing it myself, so I'm happy with the decision.
I’m looking forward to you getting the GS. The snowflake is probably my favorite watch of all time.
TVG great video. I"m new into collecting. G-Shock, Seagull 1963, Seiko SNK809, Vostock Submariner and my big watch (to me) is my Citizen's Eco-Drive E870 Perpetual Calendar. And all this started because someone gave me a Brietling knockoff and it sparked my interest in automatic watches.
Federico had a good video on not buying too many $200 watches because you will have a bunch of watches you can't sell to buy the grail watch you will one day desire. I agree so no more cheap watches.
Now I"m lusting after an automatic that has a power reserve complication.
Thanks for your great video's they help in this trying time.
I have been watching you from the get go and the show still gets better. It is also good to see you in good health. Stay safe! Oh yes, we Americans refer to it as a bug out bag: military term.
Started off the day four-wheeling with a good buddy of mine, now I can relax with a new UG video. Also bought a new Casio Duro with the blue bezel and dial. Always love the war room. I also like your shirt TGV.
Sounds like a perfect day, I hope you enjoyed it.
Great to hear from you btw,
Thank you Cory :D
Best regards,
TGV
00:30 is actually a reversed zoom out. Just look at the seconds sub-dial on the Breitling Navitimer. Love the video TGV.
Uncanny timing, TGV. Been planning the remodel of my own man cave lately, and this video is just the inspiration I needed.
So glad to hear that, enjoy the remodeling.
Thank you :D
Best regards,
TGV
Thank you for putting so much thought into the watch bands you have designed. I want to invest in products that have a story and/or reminders of history so thank you! Looking forward to investing in one soon. Awesome! So appreciated.
