Watching you two having fun talking watches is one of the highlights of every month. Keep this segment going.

The general public are much more logical than watch enthusiasts, hence the larger sales numbers of Citizen and Casio solar-powered quartz watches. The number whispering is hilarious.

Ah, time to relax and hear my two favourite watch guys passionately discuss chronographs ☺️

Have you ever wondered why you don't get a warranty when ordering from Marc? Marc sells factory seconds. If you ask him, he'll just say "your warranty is with us".

As always, a nice video. But I have a comment about the Quartz Chronos. With all the advanced techniques and knowledge, no company have been able to really produce a Classic Tri-compax Mecha-quartz Movement. The nearest movement in similarities is the VK63, and it fails by putting a 24-Hr dial at the 3 O'clok position, instead of an hour counter. Instead, Seiko put a 24-Hr subdial. And the same is for those quartz chronos that have the 6-9-12 subdial orientation. Seiko and the rest always put a fraction of a second at any position. I know that now you have higher precission in races and other sports, but a Classic Chrono wristwatch is something to show about coz if you want to time, you have the cell phone that is more accurate. And I am missing a Quartz chrono that can emulate the Lemania 5100/Omega 1045 caliber. No company has ever been concerned to supply these specific variations in quartz. That is why I still buy my watches from places like Chrono24, Tourneau, and at times, from pawn shops and service them myself. \And the only Speedmaster Homage watch I have is a Pagani Design 1701 Version 3 that uses the Seiko Mecha-quartz VK63 movement, is 100m Waterproof , saphire glass and has a screw crown-(the Moonwatch has no screwed crown, and is only 50m water resistance). Thay is MHO. Again, a nice video!!!!

The Urban Gentry, I'm not sure if anyone has ever told you, but you remind me FALCO singer.

I'm giving a shout-out on the TGV editing. It's something I think we take for granted, but a brilliant element of the special sauce that keeps us coming back for more!

Since my father passed away because of covid a month ago, every time i watch your videos i feel some kind of relief, he was a watch enthusiast just like me and my grandfather. Now i own a vintage rolex datejust from the 80s (grandfather's) and a rare vintage rolex oysterquartz (father's). I remember learning from my grandfather how to set a clock using the WWVB radio signal from colorado while living in mexico! Gotta keep the good watch taste going for the future family generations! Thanks TGV. Greetings from Mexico.

Idk if you’ll see this lol, but actually a few years ago we were at an Indy car race and Mario was in his race team tent, and my sister ran up to the fence this and said “Mr Andretti!!! My brother is with me and he’d love to get your autograph!!!!!” Mario, being the awesome human he is, waved us through the crowd so I could get a picture with him, I have a white Indy car model so the drivers could sign it, and of course I had to get Mario’s signature right across the nose in bright red so it stood out, he’s an amazing human!!! And it made my lifeeee meeting him like that

My favorite time of the month is here!

[@WTR28]

Love that these collabs have turned into a series! Always a joy to watch!

[@imaoeinhorneichhorn5855]

Hands down, Poljot Strela. It's reasonably priced, has awesome heritage and a unique and utterly beautiful look.

[@alexlamas6324]

I'm in my 50's and a huge Formula 1 fan and Mario Andretti was my first F1 hero, so I own an older version of the Yema Rally Graph Mario Andretti version and I love it. It's so comfortable and it came with a leather and rubber racing strap. The rubber strap is the best rubber strap I have ever come across.

[@stephenrhodes7758]

I don't own a chronograph so this could prove to be very helpful.

[@DXPetti]

This was a absolute pearler TGV. All the genuine laughs were great for the soul. Thank you and keep up the collabs 👏

[@yugbe]

I was super lucky to meet Mario Andretti back when I was working at a restaurant. (High end steakhouse) He's such a friendly man, and a childhood hero of mine.
