I REALLY MESSED UP! - 5 Watches I Should Have Never Sold + Unboxing My First Genta Watch

[@theurbangentry]

Sorry about the lack of HD. We are sadly at the mercy of youtube, who can be very annoying sometimes and take their sweet time processing the video. Hopefully it will be HD soon :D Thank you, Best regards, TGV

I'm looking forward to your strap review(s). I'm just getting into straps and finding it's a very large topic of discussion. Much larger than I initially imagined.

[@Lipii19]

Dear The Urban Gentry. Firstly, thank you for posting these great videos. I watch your videos every time you post a new one. I have a request: could you please make a video of watch magazines if there is any? I would love to educate myself more by reading. In addition to your channel, I feel that a proper watch magazine would be a great supplementary source for horological information. Many thanks and keep up the good work! Greeting from Finland.

[@BobMarley-pm1xb]

I have been collecting for a minute. Today I am wearing my 52 year old Baylor/Heuer bi-pax 1969 chronograph. I was 15 when I bought this, my 1st watch. I wanted to become a pilot and 25 years later that happened. I wore this little watch on many a cross country. It is SO delicate but I am very careful with it. Had to change the 4:00 pusher and connecting rod in the movement during it’s one and only service 3 years ago but everything except the lume (old radioactive ☢️) and the water seal function beautifully. Old watches rock. I have several in my little collection. Great vid as usual Sir!

[@EARLandPEARL-c3i]

I'm always happy that when I sell a watch...someone wants it more than I do

[@darrenfry4695]

You can say that about anything,cloths,cars,gold, blah blah

[@aaronmurphree7745]

I’ve actually never sold any of my pieces. I’ve considered it at times but then I think about the memories with each piece. I only have a 5 watch collection however, all pretty top end stuff so they all get good wrist time.

[@OguzhLP]

It's very inspiring to hear that we are a big part of your life(10:15). You should know that my hobbys and my style wouldn't be the same without you today! I'm proud and grateful to be a part of your community.

[@mauriciotorres5875]

For me its about the possession of the item, I never sold any of my watches, now more than 170. What I do is I keep them at home, in those 20 watch cases. So every sunday night I change case and I only wear the watches of that particular box in that week. No matter if I wear everyone of them (changing every 8 hours) or only a few of them in that week, for me part of the fun is knowing that I have them and that I can take a look at them whenever I want.

[@The01t]

You should write a book for people into watches as you know so much about the subject.

[@theurbangentry]

You are too kind. Thank you so much for the compliment. That would be amazing. Best regards, TGV

[@stephenrhodes7758]

I second that. It would make for an interesting read.

[@Guitaural.]

TGV, having made the decision to quit lifting my iPhone for the time of day, I’ve jumped back into wearing a watch, and you and your viewers played a big role in my recent Seiko Sarb033 and Squale 1521 purchases. The quality of both is pretty staggering - I don’t plan to expand things beyond a few pieces, but thanks for the info and inspiration. I've also enjoyed your lifestyle content (similar interests of books, music, architecture, museums, travel, dogs) : ) Give Ernest a hug for me!

[@LeShark75]

Speaking of the Squale 1521, I've had my ocean blasted 1521 on the vintage leather strap for two years now. I'm still head over heals in love with it and that leather strap has soaked up so much character over the past two years it looks amazing. And thanks again TGV for popping it on my radar way back when. I used to visit your Facebook page daily but dropped all Social Media Six months ago, I've never looked back. A big thanks for keeping the KZbin channel going as I'd be lost without it. Great job Sir.

[@scotthayes2652]

The Colareb straps are fantastic, bought two of the Venezia straps for two dress watches and they given the watches a new lease of life and look far better than the calf leather strap they came with.

[@romeo6048]

My biggest regrets were having sold my Omega Moonwatch and my '80s Rolex Datejust with a beautiful champagne coloured dial on a Jubilee bracelet, though I think there is also a joy in letting go of some timepieces as they make room for other new and interesting acquisitions.

[@pete5668]

I inherited a Polerouter with the Microtor from my step-grandfather. It's got a tiny bit of rust on the back of the case, so it doesn't look as stunning as yours, but the front looks really good, apart from scratches on the crystal. It's a black dial with the gold circle around it. Judging from what you said about this line of watches, I think I am going to hang on to this for a while.

[@L8bro]

1: Very nice intro. 2: I like leather straps in summer, they go with my leather loafers. 3: Rolex Explorer rocks!

[@bradb.4570]

that UG is waaaaay better than the watch you sold! pure class

[@jefferyneu3915]

I had a Limited Edition Ball Hydrocarbon Trieste. I absolutely loved the nod to the first manned dive to the Mariana Trench. Sadly, the watch was a behemoth that was far too large for my little wrists. But, I have always regretted letting it go as so few of them were made.

[@lisaisanerd]

I've only been collecting watches for around half a year and on a student budget so I've only ever sold one watch, it was this wonderfully simple 34" vintage Bernex with an inscription on the case back thanking an employee for working with the company for 25 years. I sold it to a member of the UGWC because I just never wore it as I'd only wear a manual wind for dress purposes and what opportunity does a first year student get to dress up? Sometimes I miss it, but I don't regret it because I know it's new owner appreciates it far more than I ever could. Great video!

[@fredso]

I'm very jealous! I love the Polerouter. Such a classy and subtle piece. My grandfather owned the solid gold variant, he always wore it when we were out for dinner, sadly after he passed, nobody has seen the watch since. I believe it to be hidden in a safe somewhere in the manor since a couple of other watches of him are missing as well, so I'm always looking for them when I'm there. Great video Tristano!

[@markklein8725]

I've never had the hardship and regrets of selling a watch. I promised myself that if I purchase a watch it is forever, and I've held true to that claim. I have purchased watches that no longer finds wrist time, but I wouldn't sell them. I have given perfectly good watches to friends for varies reasons and I love the look on their faces when they wear them.

[@rzmr]

Mark Klein can I be your friend?

[@jonford4785]

The speedmaster part really resonated because i am torn between keeping and selling. I bought my Pro new in 2009, my first mechanical. I wore it every day for the first 2 or 3 years but started to wear it less and less. I bought a Tudor Oyster a couple of months ago and that has been attached to my wrist. That 34mm has made me really crave an old Rolex, Air-King, Perpetual date, Oysterdate, and i know i could sell the speedmaster and get one. But i look at speedy and it pulls at the heart strings. I love it, but i dont know if it is really me anymore, at the minute i wouldnt buy another chronograph. I guess i am affraid of selling and regreting it! Another great video.

[@zcharg0]

I’m thinking of selling all my watches and buying an f-91w. Any thoughts?

[@steelstunners1862]

zcharg0 Harry Do it!

[@wainedodd8055]

You will not be disappointed my friend

[@randsp3c709]

Why?

[@timothythomas1626]

When purchasing jewelry a more economical than solid gold but still beautiful option is a gold filled piece. Jewelers create gold filled jewelry by pressure bonding an actual layer of gold to another metal. Although a gold filled piece of jewelry is not sold gold, it has the same desirable properties and look of solid gold. It won’t tarnish and will not rub off or turn colors. Wearers who are sensitive to certain metals can wear gold filled without worries of an allergic reaction. Although the layer of gold in gold filled pieces varies depending on the manufacturer it is in all cases significantly thicker than regular gold plating (the next category of gold jewelry). Gold filled accessories can be worn even daily without fear of fading or rubbing off for many cases as long as 30 years.

[@astrogen1960]

When you do these "admitting my mistakes" videos, my respect for you always increases. I also appreciate the instruction of what not to do, myself. Good man TGV!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you my friend, that means a great deal to me. Onwards and upwards! Best regards, TGV

[@pwally2714]

I recently wore my 18 karat gold Universal Geneve Polerouter Date with champagne dial to the Swatch store here in Miami. The representative immediately came up to me and asked, "Universal Geneve?" For someone to know what watch this is, they are deep deep deep into high horology. I was so impressed with him that I bought a watch, sistem 51 just for fun. It's literally the perfect watch. It's around 10mm overall in thickness but wears like 7mm thin, as the crystal is thick. It wears like a 35 mm, but it looks like a 37 or 38 mm because it's so vibrant, and it's so bold. The target style dial inverses the light play like no other. You can take a hundred different pictures and none of them look the same because of the way the dials designed with light play in mind. It's literally the perfect watch. Mine, from 1960, still has one of the smoothest movements. I have a Vacheron Constantin, 2022 Rolex Datejust mother of pearl/ diamond dial, Zenith, and a few others but the Universal Geneve Polerouter is art. You must buy one before they double in price. Bruce Lee's Universal Geneve Polerouter was sold for $20,000 in 2017

[@zohaibasif6274]

Should an automatic watch make a sound when you shake it?

[@djcompton4979]

If you ever want to go to one watch and one strap, stick with the combo that you have on in this video with the Explorer and leather band. Looks fabulous!

[@villagranvicent]

I specially regret selling my vintage Omega Speedmaster Moon watch, but I was passing through some very rough times at that moment and I had to let it go. I was thinking in getting one in a few months but I think I’ll go for a Tudor Black Bay instead.

[@JDAbbeyIII]

I understand the cheeky bids leading to accidental purchases. I have a Cyma dirty dozen in the post right now which I bid on after a few sips of whisky. It was relumed which means I can wear it without the worry of radiation poisoning but it has new hands so that also brought the price down. Love the polerouter!!

[@rhyfel1]

This video brings back some sad memories, I also had the Casio non sky walker version which my girlfriend at the time bought me and sadly I lost the bloody thing I think it fell off in a taxi after a rather rowdy Saturday night out, thanks for the video because I'd actually forgot what it looked like.

[@ejusi4578]

Hi TGV, am a big fan, thanks for getting me into watches. Btw I am still 16 yrs old and in the future I hope to have a good collection just like you and my father.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you EJU, I am deeply flattered and it is young chaps like you who motivate me, so glad to hear your father passed down this hobby too. Onwards, upwards my friend and enjoy the journey! You are so lucky to get into this hobby at that age. Best regards, TGV

[@LO-oc8oe]

I love watching your videos and take a lot of information on board. You definitely are a true British gent, it inspires me to be as humble as you. I own an avenger 2 and a navitimer as I love Breitling. I hope to get something more vintage and a real investment for my children in the future. Keep up the great work. I would like to meet you someday as that would be a dream

[@renatograndmont6077]

I have to say this watch is, in my opinion, worlds nicer that the other Universal Geneva. I own an Omega Seamaster from a similar era with a caliber 354 movement with the bumper movement and I have to say there is something so satisfying about going down stairs with this watch and feeling the winding mechanism inside.

[@Azotart]

So cool. When I was a kid, I was fan of Star wars. Growing up and getting into watches, I saw the casio sky walker and reminded me of this passion I had. Plus, it's a movie watch, Timecop with JCVD. My father bought a Sky walker at 180€ for me. Such a fun watch. So unique. It was less than a year ago.

[@xjimmy225x]

My first "mistake" watch was the first watch I ever bought, a Sturhling. Not a quality watch, especially at the price. Much happier after switching to Seiko and will soon be branching out to Hamilton

[@excelsiortrading8050]

haven't had this problem, but I've been fortunate enough to have been a collector of other things before watches, so I've been super careful about what I bought. I sold my first watch about a month ago, doubled what I payed for it new and got to enjoy it for over a year, nearly two years. Don't regret it one bit, it was time for it to go, and the money came in handy. Actually my collection still feels large for me and I'll probably be scaling it back 1-3 more watches. Always buy something unique and in demand, don't ever sell because you need money fast. That auction sat up for probably 2-3 months, but I got what I wanted out of it. Just my opinion. Anyways great video bro!

[@ganeshlexus]

I have 1946 Universal Geneve gold watch which was neglected for years, now I want to use it, hope u can help me

[@joshuakalin718]

It's tricky to strike a balance between keeping a collection size reasonable and making sure to not get rid of anything that will cause regrets in the future. Less can be more, but not at the expense of sentimental value.

[@theurbangentry]

A very true and profound point. Thank you Joshua for sharing that. Best regards, TGV

[@joshuakalin718]

Motor City Cobra Four grails is a lofty goal. May you accrue them in good health!

[@Josv13]

Next video: Yeah i sold my Genta watch

[@davidedwards4125]

No regrets selling as I’m not yet a collector, however I recently lost my Sunto Observer that I’d had for over 10years and was my main watch. The observer is an ABC “outdoors” digital watch that rivals GShocks and the new Seiko Digital Tunas. The happy part of this story is at the time I lost it there happened to be a video on Andrew st Pierre whites 4x4 overlandin channel about his Rolex, which I watched. Then that made a recommendation for You and then Bark and Jack, now my Amazon wish list is full of Seikos, Orients and Retro Casio’s and more besides. Thanks for some great inspiration and entertainment.

[@petershallis2294]

My word...that Polerouter!! That is a wonderful piece, fabulous condition too.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Peter :D Best regards, TGV

[@tonycaro1834]

I understand the love for old watches. My father in-law just gave me am Omega 1944 14k with a 342 movement that is keeping time so perfect that's its unbelievable. I just had my watchmaker replace the crystal because it was internally cracked ar 12 mark.

[@richdubbya]

A good and bad I RARELY ever sell. I always go back. Cycles. And Im okay with that...How you were with Squale I am with Tissot. Holds something personal in my life... I own 17 from modern to vintage. They have that place in my heart.

[@clarea-s6779]

I have two UGs, a polerouter date 860111/02 and a slender thin 1960s/70s tank watch which I wear most days. Both keep really good good time and a pleasure to wear. I have never sold any of my watches.

[@KX85rider9123]

If it was me, I would have kept all the Universal Geneves but that's me. And now, I have one more watch that I want, thanks to your channel. P.S. I just got a bambino Bauhaus version in the silver dial, and I love it. Also, just watched Dunkirk again, and want a vintage Omega. Any suggestions?

[@casualtactical6664]

I don’t know much about watches..which is why im here! I collect historic firearms. As Iv matured my interest have shifted to anything mechanical. I recently purchased my first “nice” watch. 1970 Omega Geneve..and now well I’m hooked lol thanks a lot. Love your material here. Crack on good sir!

[@benjaminbarrera214]

Great, enjoy your watches! Just don't wear them when you are shooting, the shock is likely to damage them.

[@thechadofficial]

Great video. I Love that Polerouter! Absolutely pure class T! The micro rotor was stunning but I think this watch is a better fit. Luckily no regrets yet but I'm sure they will come. The thing about this wonderful hobby is that it's a journey, it's ups and downs, lessons and heart breaks make it a fun ride that I'm glad to be on. Enough with the ranting from me lol thanks for another great video brother. Cheers, Chad

[@westfieldartworks8188]

Best intro I've ever seen on KZbin....such a classic.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much Anthony, very kind of you to say, Best regards, TGV

[@westfieldartworks8188]

Your welcome, TGV. I've shared your videos with several women, actually, just to show them the intro. (They're not really watch connoisseurs), yet they all commented back on how beautiful it was. One said that it reminded her of an Ivory Merchant production....and what a really cool guy you seem to be. Cheers.

[@atomik7223]

Hey TGV, I have a question... I have around 2000$ to spend each year on watches, and I want to know what should I get! Should I go for many 400-600$ watches or go for a 1200$ watch with a 350$ watch? Tell me your thoughts on this please.. Thanks for the help in advance!

[@al14711n]

TGV, first of all, I guess all people who stick to the end of every 15-20+ mins videos are true watch lovers. and now, I have been one of them and these all attribute to your effort and passion. Just out of curious, does anyone ever suggest a shorter length of the videos? because I was taught too much about the 7-minute rule back in the business school...

[@natanmusmanthome6772]

Dear TGV, I absolutely loved the images you added before each item. It kind of reminded me of one video you made (I don`t remember witch) in witch you would have this hilarious reactions before presenting each item (Maybe something about watch buying mistakes or don`ts...). That 80`s Tudor Day Date was absolutely gorgeous! Maybe you should consider buying it back as a gift to yourself . In my opinion there are some watches that people should posses (even if not to wear them) for the sentimental value. In your case, this Tudor Prince, as it is your birthday year and being a 35mm beauty! I have a 1950`s Eterna Matic my grandfather gave me and it is absurdly costly to upkeep, and I hardly wear it for fear of damaging, but I keep it anyway. Loved the video.

[@goncalocarvalho6914]

Hello! I have the same watch that used to be my grandpa's. Since its not in such a good condition as youres, do you think i should do some sort of restauration? Thanks

[@Foxrock321]

Is that an Atmos on your desk JLC’s are awesome mine lasted 30 years before I had to send it back for an overhaul, got it back running strong…I haven’t sold any of my babies..but I’m thinking about it..I’m in my vintage phase presently…my Oris Aquis has to fight the others for wrist time the “green” is what drew me to buy it

[@markplayford5836]

Sold a Quartz Omologato Hesketh watch as I love James Hunt (British racing driver). It had yellow hands on a white face and sub which was difficult to read. Like you, I sold it at a loss to another fan, that gave me more joy than the watch ever did! Think they are now discontinued and are probably worth more. Don't care, it was not for me!

[@thewatchloungechris]

All great points and the one I regret getting rid of the most is the Orient Yellow Mako I know no big time watch ha but still love that thing . You never see them posted anywhere even on the forums at all anymore

[@simoninglis7437]

Frugality is a virtue for a dozen good reasons. Frugality inspires an appreciation of perspective and priority. Frugality is the father of efficiency. Frugality is often a form of elegance. Dispense with the inessential and embrace that which is truly important. I'm your fan and enjoy being your fan. Keep up the great work.

[@miguelperea4761]

I have a mint Casio Sky Walker with original unused strap. Go back and forth on selling it.

[@davidschulz5334]

The Casio Sky Walker reminds me of the black and turquoise Timex Zulu in the early 90’s with the analog and digital combo display that I lusted over as a ten year old hovering over the watch kiosk at the mall.

[@matt1315s]

That Universal Geneve is beautiful TGV. Funny I was just sitting with my dad talking about watches. Yeah he is the reason I'm into watches. Anyway we were talking about his 77 Rolex master GMT. He said that when him and my mom first moved from Olympia Wa to Seattle Wa he considered selling it, because they were short on money. My mom talked him out of it, because she knew that if he did he, would regret it for the rest of his life. That Rolex has been with my dad though thick and thin. I love that watch because it reeks of adventure. He is a retired Marine Biologist and has traveled extensively. How he got the watch is a great story too. Me personally I have no regrets every watch I sell, I sell because I dont love it anymore.

[@Redbirdsfan1970]

TGV, why did you put the Speedmaster on this list? You don't seem to have buyers remorse at all. What would have put on the list instead?

[@lanceuppercut7436]

I’m yet to experience seller’s remorse as I’m yet to sell a watch, however, I do suffer (first world problems) from having limited watch purchase funds. I have teenage girls and strangely, they seem to cost quite a bit to keep happy. I jest ofcourse. I’ll keep living vicariously by enjoying your videos and steady stream of incredible and varied watches TGV. Keep the obsession alive my friend👍🏻

[@robcorrente6065]

Could you tell me when can I buy the leather strap you are wearing in your Rolex? Thanks

[@pth8888]

My biggest regret is not buying a Lange 15 years ago. Now I have to pay more than double for pretty much the same watch!

[@sdemosi]

P TH even worse, I gave one away as a present. The recipient, a close family member, was delighted but they keep it in a box. It's still unworn by them. A L & S doesn't mean the same to them and they just think of it as a very beautiful watch. I've not got around to replacing it and given the current prices of Lange One I'd struggle to justify it as reasonable purchase given other priorities.

[@69AJS]

Hello Sir. My father is an extraordinary fit 80 year old gentleman but does have problems with his vision and loves watches. Any advice? Kind regards. Andy.

[@styx4947]

About the "safe queen" question. I agree 100%, if the watch never gets worn, whats the point? Now, I admit that I am a brand new collector, therefore I may have a different view on this, once i have a couple of higher end pieces in my hand. The way I see it is, "never spend more on a watch, or other luxury product than you are comfortable with outright losing". Reason being that, if you are comfortable with losing the $, you will never worry about dings and scratching the watch, therefore you will enjoy it so much more because the money is gone period. If you do want to sell it later on, all the better. But if you depend on possible resale value when buying the watch, you will always baby it. But like i said, iam new in the game. Tell me what you guys think.

[@alexcaswell5478]

What a beautiful piece to add to the collection, TGV. It's always fun to see an unboxing and hear about your journey with time pieces. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Thesupermanning]

I stupidly sold my citizen nighthawk PVD version... now it’s been 2 years and I can’t find another one online anywhere. When they do come up they are all scratched up and twice what I sold my original one for.

[@EinSofVirtuoso]

Awesome video today. That Oris watch looked really clean. My father has some old tuning fork Accutrons that need some refurbishing, do you think those are good as collector items? I also wanted to share about a purchase I got a couple months ago. I don't know if you have covered any microbrands lately but I purchased a watch called the Orodeus OD. I've been enjoying it and has a great retro-futurist design and keeps time pretty well with a Miyota movement.

[@oscargustavoarcosruiz8793]

I knew it! I knew it! I knew you would regret selling the Tudor, I told you at the time! It is a perfect beauty, hopefully you can recover a similar one, and do not let it go again.

[@Phelipe7San]

Hey TGV! Nice video as always! I really need a Vintage watch! And a GMT, a purist, a rattrapante, any classic g-shock, a dress, a field, a world timer, a type B pilot, a moon phase and the list goes on...

[@ProjektKC]

It crushed my heart as I progressed through your videos and realised you sold that Tudor Day Date :( GET IT BACK!) Another thing - I am bidding on a Vintage Universal Geneve Polerouter and a Vintage Omega Seamaster, should I fight for them (both probably under 600)? :)

[@Andromeda74688]

About messing up. Is Timex ref. T2N570 worth the money? Eternal calendar, but quartz movement. Quite prizy considering the brand, around 400$ to pay for the watch. When all is said, nice looking watch, although I'm not sure if the eternal calendar can justify the price tag.

[@steveraven4028]

Hello, fantastic insight with your videos, thank you so much. I only have the Oris Williams skeleton that my wife bought me 10 years ago and I wear it every day. However, I have had it serviced 4 times because of servicing shortcomings. Are you able to point me to someone in the UK I can trust to take care of my watch? I don’t have a great budget but I want the watch cared for.

[@marcoli3480]

Hi TGV, ya like you mentioned you had owned different Speedmaster, how about the Mark ii? It seems you never had a episode that talks about Mark ii. I think this is a cool watch in term of the shape, bracelet and dial especially the 2016 Rio version. But I found there are not too many videos about this watch on youtube too. What is your thought about the Mark ii? I am really tempting to buy one. thanks

[@rojorohr4723]

I love how you use art to let us relate to the feeling of having lost/sold a watch...

[@lonewolf30531]

Is it crazy not too mind leather straps during the summertime. I live in Florida and don’t mind leather straps unless in water of course .

[@allrightknight]

I feel your pain on the Digital loss, when something looks and fits just right its priceless. Mine wasn’t a regret of me selling but it was literally lost. I wore it to a party and met a soon-to be girlfriend who said she liked my watch and how I wore it that night. I noticed it was gone at one point after our relationship had ended and assumed I had lost it for many years. It hasn’t been until many years later and my renewed interest and love for Watches I realized maybe she loved that watch more than me but no regrets if thats the case, you get some you lose a watch but you have memories of both 😁 I guess that’s the moral of the story, think of the memories you had with the watch and what special moments happened when you had it that’s what will stay with you.

[@weerobot]

I can't bring myself to sell ...you have made me want a Explorer now, Pure Class...

[@gcyt7462]

I am looking at the Fossil minimalist FS5305 rn, really like the design but it is 44mm and i have a small wrist, any suggestion with minimalist look and similar price?

[@platinum_knowledge]

Is it really a faux pas to wear a leather watch band in the summer? Various faux pas of watch etiquette would make a cool video. I bet there are a ton that most people don't even know about.

TGV, what's the intro piece of music? I recently listened to it but I can't match the name! BTW, I wanted to say that your previous intros have been excellent, esp the one with the Siegfried funeral March. I think we share similar musical tastes. Is it Wagner's prelude from Tristan and isolde?

Hey TGV. Random question here.What do you think about Zenith the watch brand?

[@johnnidhiry4409]

My biggest regret was selling my DeWitt Hora Mondi, which was a beautiful timepiece, was accurate and unique; additionally my girlfriend really liked the piece. I did not wear it as often as I like though, so I sold it. Big mistake as I still miss that watch. Totally agree on Universal Geneve. I have the Aero Compax with the 24 hour dial, it is so beautiful, well made and runs great. There is something about tremendously appealing about most of UG's models if one appreciates horology. It is a shame that they did not retain that great reputation.

Congrats, TGV on this unique find and for sharing your enthusiasm. Most of the us do have budgetary constraints, notwithstanding on rare occasions when I spend in the range of $7k for a piece. I enjoy my 12Kt GF viintage pieces, circa 60/70's. I'm no longer inclined for big ticket new pieces, but enjoy hunting vintage (circa 60's/70's) well under $1k. Kindest Regards, JP

Hey dude. I bought I Casio G-shock gwm b5000 a few months ago, now I don't wear my DW5600s too much anymore. Just the other day I ordered a Universal Geneve Polerouter in 18k with the same dial. Cal 69 movement etc. It's my first vintage. It hasn't left my wrist. 🙄 I call 200 people per day on the phone so I can't help but stare at it all day 😂😂😂 not too much on it online. Maybe I need to research deeper. Just wondering if you had run by any research of Gérald Genta's first design? Have a good day! Paul, Miami
