  • Today I share a behind-the-scenes tour of my latest War Room upgrades, a new Tudor for my collection, and thoughts on my favourite Rolex and Tudor Submariner watches.
    We'll take a look at some collectable diecast airplanes, Lego sets, movies, antiques, must-have man cave accessories and tech. And we'll talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Rolex vs Tudor vintage Submariners like my current 79190. I also discuss my latest watch crush on the Rolex Submariner 16613 in blue, my watch collection goals, and the reason for my obsession with two-tone watches like the Datejust 16233 and Day-Date complications-like my Rolex "President" 18238 and Tudor Prince Date-Day 76213.
    Join me for a fun look at the 2021 War Room, some very Urban Gentry watch collecting talk, and a special appearance from the sometimes devilish Hugo Mountbatten.

    I think I have the perfect 3 watch collection: Watch 1 - Apple Watch, being a dyslexic school teacher, I couldn’t do my job without this watch, been using it for about 4 years, I can deal with emails set reminders and have reminders pop up through lessons to keep me right without using my phone. Also used as a beater watch when working out or in water. Watch 2 - Rolex Sub for all my out of school hours, saved for years to buy this for myself for my 30th, reminds me of the value of hard work and perseverance. My favourite and final watch is a Seiko 5 my wife gave me on our wedding day, I only wear this when we go out together.
    Anyone think this collection is missing anything? I can’t think of anything else I need that another watch could give me.
    Love and peace guys!

      I think you will regret selling the Tudor Sub. You clearly love the brand, have a connection with the watch, and you acknowledge that it will be hard to replace it. Worse if you do sell it, face regret and replace it….. it won’t be THE watch you have used in so many videos. I think that will deepen the regret. If you want to pair down the collection there are probably a handful you could cut then use the cash for the two tone Rolex. That might be a better exercise. And if the two tone was a flight of fancy, you could sell it and apply the proceeds to other projects. You will still have achieved the culling exercise.

    All I can say is, I have owned a blue Rolex sub 16613 since new in 1997. After all these years, I have never tired of it. It’s the perfect mix of dressy and sporty. I’ve worn it in the ocean and I’ve worn it to weddings with a suit. I have over 50 watches in my collection, but that is one I’ve never, ever considered parting with.

    I wouldn’t sell the Tudor sub. The two tone sub is a great watch but lacks the versatility of a black submariner. I’d sell the day date and the datejust and try to make up the rest! I had your problem before tgv. I bought a watch box with 20 compartments and told my self that’s the limit. Still going strong although watching this channel makes it difficult 🤣

    TGV, your intro is the best on youtube hands down. I really enjoyed the war room walk around.
    Keep the Tudor Sub. I have the 114060 and 116613LB. It's a killer 2 piece meal deal hunger buster combo. Day/Night. Summer Spring/Fall Winter. A bit of flash/Stealth. A SS black sub and bluesy compliment each other. I have always worn a gold chain since early teens. I now wear my Dad's 14K Crucifix with my Grandma's wedding ring diamond mounted on it. My watch collection is TT heavy because of this, 5 of 9 are TT. If you wear gold, TT just makes sense.
    Like you, I was mesmeized by the bluesy thumbing through NG mags in school and at my dentist's office. Was also mesmerized by King Tut's death mask. This color combo is striking. I bought a nice lapis lazuli bracelet to wear on the other arm with it. The bluesy is a perfect Summer watch. It sings in the sun. Some of those purple dial 5 digits are awesome. The added weight of the gold does make the Sub feel better. And to be honest, I prefer it, over the SS Sub. I still catch myself looking at it like I did when I first got it. It is the only watch in my collection that has gotten compliments.

    I have a 1989 duo-tone Chronomat. I bought it with a stainless steel case, black dial with gold subdials, gold crown, gold pushers, gold rider tabs, and gold screws on the bezel. As part of an overhaul 10 years ago, I had the dial replaced with a black one with white subdials, had all the gold components replaced with stainless steel, and had a new orange second hand installed. When I originally bought the watch I loved the duo-tone. I still think it looked very good then but now I prefer the all-steel version with its more sincere tool watch feel. As for more dressy watches, duo-tone can look great and a bit more subdued than all-gold.

    Great to see another war room tour TGV! As for the watch dilemma, I would sit with it for a while and see if your desire for the two-tone is still there after a few weeks. It takes a lot of restraint but I sometimes do that to gauge whether I'm just lusting after a watch versus actually desiring it. I've noticed I hold onto the ones I've determined I truly desire, while the ones I've bought due to lust have been sold.

    Wow! Great Job!! Your videos are always so interesting! The intros with all these images related to past and present days, art and mechanics, fading one into the other, and the music, reminds me of The opening credits of TV Series "The Persuaders"! I really hope you've seen it once in your life! Roger Moore and Tony Curtis... I love LEGO, since I was a kid, at that time there were only red and white bricks (green for the roof of the house), but there were TENTE bricks to build ships and sci-fi machines with round bricks! I think many of us bought the "new" LEGO for their kids, to play with them. I really love SCI-Fi Movies, from "the day the earth stood still" 1951 until Star Trek Picard, passing through Dune, Stingray and The Clockwork Orange! If you love knives too, you should consider a "vernantin" Italian hand made knife from Vernante, in Piedmont, or a "Pattada" from Sardegna. ;-)

    A friend of mine has a Sub 2 tones, blue dial (I think it was a 16613P). It's a great piece, and he wore it in special occasions only, while the black Submariner date 16610 was his "everyday" watch. I think I will wear gold but actually my only gold watch is a vintage Wittnauer, too small for my wrist :-). I think you should do all that makes you happy! The recent pandemic teaches me that it is not always possible to live the life of your dreams, so, if in your heart you've already made the decision, you just need to materialize it. I know you won't be disappointed. Anyway, the Oyster Date, is a magnificent timepiece, and talking about your specific "happy problem", Tudor and Rolex are very close in terms of quality and prestige, especially the models in your hands, and to me, the possibility to "wear them when you like" is more a bonus, that I think with your new Sub 2 tones, maybe you will not get. Cheers from Italy! Ciao!

You only live once! Enjoy it! Having said that, as Nancy Sinatra once sang…..”Live one life for yourself and one for your dreams!” So technically You Only Live Twice!

    Just started this video. I bought a blue two tone in 2017, with a little discount from WoS for £9600. Loved it, such a great looking piece, but part exchanged it a year ago at another AD, for £8100, against a different watch. Lost £1500 in 3 years, but it did have a little damage, and I did use an AD rather than sell privately.
    As much as I loved it, I'm happy with my cheaper replacement watch, Air King, plus the £3k back.

    Excellent video, TGV. Love the war room tour ....great to see some of the old favorites and the new pieces you have added. The new Sega, matching Swatch, and layout all look to be fantastic modifications. As for the selling of the Tudor to fund a two tone Rolex Sub......I would wait and make sure that is really what you want.....the two tone you mention is a incredibly awesome piece, probably the only two tone sub I’d ever consider. BUT.... the Tudor sub you have is much more iconic, has much more personal importance with the rose, military importance, serviceability, you listed all the reasons. If you sell to fund a Rolex you will be losing one piece that is neither here or there PLUS one that has MASSIVE importance to you and would be damn near impossible to replace.....all to fund a purchase of a Rolex Submariner.....granted your MAY not lose much money if any on the Sub, but the piece won’t have anywhere near the significance that your Tudor does. My two cents. I’d consider selling the other one sure, and maybe saving the rest of the cash for the two tone ....then after you have had the two tone a bit make the decision which Sub to get rid of then.....I’d bet the Rolex would find the door before the vintage Tudor did...anyway. Best of luck with the decision. Onward and upward!

Although selling the Tudor Sub might be a hard decision to make, it is a step up with the Rolex, and will match your Gold jewelry better. Variety is the spice of life 😎

    Love seeing that Resolute X-1 around 5:40! It has replaced my collection of Benchmade, Kershaw, and Gerber for my EDC use... 99% of the time it's the right tool for the job. A year ago I'd have laughed if you told me I'd trade my Benchmade for a Boxcutter...

    I traded a vintage Rolex President Day Date for two Tudor watches. The North Flag and the Steel and Gold Black Bay with the Black dial. So, trading two for one gives me no qualms, because that plus some boot was how I got the President originally. I’m also fine with the two tone of Steel and Gold. I also own a two tone TAGHeuer. They are very presentable watches. As to how many watches to have in a collection, my 45 automatics and 14 quarts (mostly “entry level”) watches demonstrates that I do not believe in limiting the number of watches in a collection. If the price is right, and you’ll wear the watch, buy it.

    Tudor is great, date/day is really excellent, but that Bulova Spaceview is really something special...it's not waterproof, it's not tough, but it's a timeless masterpiece without any doubt. Swatch clock is great, too. Thank you, this was a great video

    Great video TGV! Thanks for the war room tour! Working from home for a year I’ve made a few changes to my home office/war room as well. My job has nothing to do with watches, but i have 5 to 6 watches, a few straps, and a winder on my standing desk. For a clock I use a wind-up Russian submarine clock that keeps amazing time! I’m also a bit of a pocket knife collector so i keep many of those on a shelf nearby as well. Keep up the great work Sir!

  • @anthonystevens8683
    @anthonystevens8683 3 года назад

    Keep the Tudoe Sub! TGV, I know there is strange logic that surrounds this watch hobby and I'm probably one of the last people to give advice however I have a suggestion.
    Take the Tudor Sub off and put it in a closed box in the safe for say three to six months as a target. Do not look at it, handle it or even wind it. Don't worry the Rolex market will remain just as it is for now. Sell some of the rest of the collection by all means. If during the 3 to 6 month period you find the need open the safe and open the box at take a look at the Tudor it will feel like seeing that old friend again who you didn't realise you would miss so much. That would confirm that you should keep it. If however there is no emotion when you see the watch again then clearly it is time to sell. You have 2 years history with the Tudor and know it, to try and get another that you know so well in a good condition will be harder and given the rising prices on the used market it would cost you more as well. Rolex Subs on the other hand are still pretty plentiful if expensive on the used market with more and more landing all the time.Yes the Rolex Sub will be expensive but as you sold an old modern one as there was little connection the same could so easily happen again only this time your old friend had gone for ever. OK the Rolex Sub has evolved over time gaining flab and ceramic and recently the re-profile is harking back a little towards those classic days it still is obviously a Sub. If I was in your shoes I'd keep your good friend the Tudor Sub. That is all. Apologies for the long comment.

    Nice intro sir. It´s really different for me to notice when it´s ending and when the "content" starts (sometimes - for me) it is somehow fluent !
    I like two tone. One of my favourites is the Rolex Day date, two-tone, smooth bezel, oyster bracelet, blue dial ref.116203 or the older ref.16013 or perhaps the "louder" fluted bezel/ Jubilee version ref.16233. Regarding collection size: I don´t care ...............as long as it makes me happy (and I have the bucks) I´ll be purchasing new tickers, cheap ones, crazy ones, loud ones, military, divers......who cares? In the end it´s only me. Nobody takes any notice of what I wear on the wrist.

  • @rogexpo9430
    @rogexpo9430 3 года назад

    TGV. Love your channel and I obviously love watches too or I wouldn’t be here. That said I going to relate your desire for that watch to something many musicians often ponder. In my experience I’ll have a bass guitar that I really like but I always find myself looking at other basses either in stores or on reverb or on eBay. There is always another bass you lust after but I can only have so many before my wife would probably through me out if I bought another one. So a number of years back I sold an American made 5 string musicman bass so that I could buy a Fender 5 string jazz bass. Till this day I so regret that decision because it was a beautiful bass and it would easily cost me three or four times what I sold it for to replace it. Bottom line is don’t make excuses to justify selling your other pieces just to fund a new purchase, but give it lots of thought and make sure you are comfortable with your decision so that you don’t later regret like It like I did. Good luck with your final decision.

    Hey TGV! Love the channel, keep up the amazing work.... don’t you dare sell the Tudor!! Sell something else if the bi-colour itch must be scratched - it’s such a credible piece, and I feel it defines your output for me.. There’s so many Rolex submariners out there.. The Tudor tips it’s hat but without “that” excess connotation. My favourite watch in your collect by a country mile....
