My Watch Collection 2018 Part 3 - Dress & Everyday - Audemars Piguet, Rolex, Bulova, Hamilton & More

[@angelacosta466]

The Rolex Explorer is my favorite. It’s definitely the Rolex I want to purchase. Your channel is my favorite watch channel because you go into detail about watches. I learn a lot from you.

[@yowitsclayton]

Angel Acosta I agree! Been watching your videos since 50k below subs! Just purchased my very first luxury watch for my 28 and I loving it! Thanks for inspiring TGV! 🙌🏼

[@monkefoahead]

i have not worn a watch since i was at school 25 years ago.i watched your show for a few weeks and then i bought 2 watches in one day.i have the bug.its your fault TGV

[@theurbangentry]

Haha, I am equally sorry and happy, welcome to the best past time a person can have. Enjoy your new watches and the new journey. Thank you for sharing that, it inspires me to hear it. Best regards, TGV

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

monkefoahead Which 2 watches did you get?

[@thebogiebogie]

Same thing happened to me. Watched TGV for a few weeks and bought 5. Recommended these videos to my brother and he bought 2. Long live the hobby!!

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

thebogiebogie What did you and your brother get?

[@thebogiebogie]

i got the seiko alpinist and sarb033, a rolex submariner and datejust, and a breitling navitimer. my brother got a rolex submariner no date and a GMT master 2.

[@austinzizzi1142]

I never get sick of you going on about the explorer

[@YouGetSoAlone]

I love the engraving on the back of the Hamilton. It makes me feel like that man's memory lives on with you.

[@alex_inside]

He still hasn't put the AP on a NATO. Is that the real TGV? Btw. love your collection.

[@theurbangentry]

LOL, you know me too well. Thank you sir! Well, even I draw the line somewhere ;-) Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@jordub]

Seeing your Explorer over the last year has really made me change my mind on which Rolex I would buy if I could afford one. Mainly from the Submariner to the Explorer. Like you said, it's understated elegance will largely go unrecognized, which i can really appreciate. I also think it is a watch that can fill so many roles; daily, dress or tool watch.

[@defenstrator4660]

If you want something in the same quality range but a bit more affordable you might check out a Grand Seiko. I picked one up recently and find it compares well to the Datejust. I’m currently wearing more than my Submariner.

[@djdelarosa25]

I've only just realized that the lower left part of the screen shows the map of the Philippines. My hometown of Sorsogon is even visible. Really nice :)

[@greenmarowak]

TGV, Seeing your marlin made me finally start looking at vintage ones on ebay. It's your fault. Sincerely, Peter

[@smartwarden]

Watching this while sipping my morning coffee just before I go to work.

[@mehrdadbiglary8202]

TGV i am a fan of you, i really am. I don't know what to say now! you blow my mind away with that gorgeous Rolex Explorer . Keep going and blow us away with your honest videos.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you my friend, you are very kind and you have inspired me today. O&U! Best regards, TGV

[@richardt6675]

I really dig that Audemars Piguet tri-compax perpetual calendar. Pure class! I would add (for the benefit of all viewers) that it is important to project how you might feel if you sold a piece before giving it up. Temporary sickness of a timepiece just might metastasize into extreme regret later.

[@beno2rasho]

This is without a doubt , the best watch channel I've seen so far. Very good presentations.

[@goldtoothjacko]

T, the opening credits are just simply wonderful. Love the way the Lion appears to wink at the camera too. Super as always my friend. Best. Matthew

[@kevincraig5250]

My current favorite everyday watch is my new black bay bronze edition I bought on vacation in Geneva 2 months ago!

[@emmetrmeredith]

Love the Explorer... Such a solid looking high quality piece.

[@BobbyG3752]

Explorer and tudor day/date =great 2 piece combo

[@stephenrhodes7758]

Your taste is quite eclectic & yet you still own a number of iconic timepieces, that's always a good place to be. Onwards & upwards my friend.

[@jnrjnr77]

I’m loving these SOTC videos Tristano 👍 I wanted to suggest something maybe for your next video, back in Jan 2016 you did a video outlining your favorite 38mm watches, it was a top 10 if I remember correctly? Now I’m a big guy, 6’ 5’’ and I have a 7 and a half inch wrist size however I’ve recently decided to only start wearing 38mm watches as similarly to yourself, I’m moving away from wearing larger size watches as I now think the smaller size actually looks better, neater, more distinguished. So much so that I’ve recently bought the sarb035 and the skx013 even though I previously owned the sarb033 and the skx007 & 009. If I’m being honest I couldn’t be happier with how they wear on my wrist. There just seems to be more of an attraction for a smaller mechanism on my wrist if that makes sense, I’m a big guy but I love the smaller things in life 😂 Anyway I would love it if you could revisit your favorite 38mm watches again soon. Much appreciated, Kieran from Dublin 👍

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Kieran, glad to hear you are also enjoying the smaller watches, for me I have no choice, but then again, Clark Gable was a tall chap and wore a 28mm Rolex! Very fortuitous of you, I was thinking of doing an update of the video soon. Best regards, TGV

[@allthestroke88]

That Seiko works with the turtleneck. Sterling Archer would be proud.

[@james8989]

Literally just watched your other two parts of the SOTC! Didn't expect to see a part three that quickly after viewing them!

[@robdove8341]

Still have my Dad's Timex 21 which he bought in 1962. It sat around for decades, never serviced, and still works!

[@gfunkmoney06]

Hi TGV! Fyi, watchbuys has just announced new Sinn 104 models releasing later this year: anthracite and blue sunburst dials!

[@miaunell]

The Hamilton is truly beautiful, my favorite of the bunch, don't give it away!

[@BlueRam788]

I've been rocking a vintage Fortis IncaBloc Date. I think that is the model anyway. Really loving the 34mm size which I never thought I would. Love your Tudor. Those two-tones are so 1980s.

[@mellypro]

Hey, it's Rolex Explorer! Have mine for almost 2 years and it is the ultimate watch. I hope there never comes a situation that would force me to let it go. Btw TGV, I remember the time I was already thinking about buying my Explorer for my 30th birthday and that was the time you considered it boring. Then you bought it little bit later and start to love it and it made me kinda happy you appreciating the same watch I do. Thanks for the good work!

[@wpherigo1]

That AP moonphase for dress and the explorer for everyday!

[@RichsRantMMAofficialchannel]

Loving the Bulova!

[@vintagej7379]

Great collection, you single handedly opened my eyes to the world of vintage watches

[@savvylifestrategies9445]

Thank you for the tour of your dress watch collection, TGV. The Tudor is stunning.

[@tomasortiz1606]

This is simply one of the best channels for us. Thank you very much for the awesome content and the history lessons. Best of luck to you and keep up the great work.

[@MultiDanial1234]

I'm usually into busier watches but I absolutely fell in love with that vintage Omega with the blue hands

[@marcog.3488]

Been waiting for the dresswatch part of your collection! Really loving the Marlin, it's so simple and tastefull... Great content as always Tristano!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Marco, always appreciated. Best regards, TGV

[@pokemonfire51]

I only watch the first 5 minutes of the video and thanks to you I end up buying a timex 1970 Marlin lol. Can't wait to start wearing it

[@lucianoil]

The best one is Rolex Explorer......

[@lucianoil]

Yes it is .... oll of his colection is nice buy for me Rolex is the best

[@steelstunners1862]

Agree Explorer is the best. Love AP but not into girlie sizes.

[@Schizophrenic0]

lol why do people dick ride rolex so much

[@vmax6634]

Just bought my first automatic watch 2 weeks ago after discovering your channel 3 weeks ago. Lovely channel! Got myself a Tissot Couturier Powermatic 80 with day date complications as a dress watch and it's just astonishing. Only -2.5 seconds per day

[@bubbab7792]

Part 3 was entertaining. I think what I take away from this session is your appreciation for simplicity and purity. I also appreciated the narrative regarding the Tudor. Poor mans Rolex. I found the appreciation for the Tudor priceless. The truthfulness of AP was refreshing. Grail watches to come, curious. Favorite? He Explorer. Nicely done TGV, onward and upward. Pure Gentry. Until next time, all the best.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you BB! As always, you kind words and feedback bring a smile to my face. Onwards and upwards brother! Best regards, TGV

[@bubbab7792]

Gentry You're pure class my friend. Onward and upward. Gentry. Thank you for the reply.

[@JJherne]

Just wanted to drop in and say thank you. Not only do I enjoy the channel but it's also saving me a not insignificant sum of money. Case in point, I decided to go "grey" market for my most recent purchase and - following the excellent advice from this channel along with my own due diligence - will now happily be giving the erstwhile Mrs JJ a rather nice watch for her birthday. And all whilst saving myself several hundred pounds in the process (and still have an AD stamped warranty). So thank you TGV, keep it up guv. It really is most appreciated and drinks on me when in NYC in 10 days time :)

[@theurbangentry]

THAT makes it all worth it, thank you JJ, Please do email me so I can make sure I am around for that drink! Best regards, TGV

[@jb6027]

Howdy TGV, Great video, I enjoyed it very much! Regarding the Rolex Explorer and Sir Edmund Hillary: The consensus is that when Hillary conquered Mt. Everest he was wearing a Smiths watch and not a Rolex. Recall that prior to Hillary's success, there had been numerous failed expeditions to conquer Mt.Everest. Many held that it was an impossibility and that the various attempts were stunts akin to going over Niagara Falls in a barrel, only worse. As such, these attempts were not taken seriously by most and funding for them was via various explorers clubs and private funding. Hillary wasn't even the climber team-designated to make the final push to the top, it was a quirk of fate when he and Tenzing Norgay were the last men standing after other team members couldn't climb higher. It wasn't until after the successful summit that Rolex got involved with the expedition and awarded the team members Rolex watches and advertising contracts. You know - like the Olympics athletes appearing on Wheaties boxes only after they've won their medals. Rolex, of course capitalized on the Everest publicity and wrote their scripts to make it seem as if they had been on the expedition all along. Remember also that Hillary was a very blue collar beekeeper who won a place on the expedition by sheer ability despite his lack of personal resources, not because he was well heeled. You should look into Smith's watches. They are TRUE British watches that are very historical in their own right. Unfortunately, like many great watch companies, they have gone out of business, but I believe somebody has taken to remaking new Smith's in the old style - although I'm not sure they are any longer made in the UK. Please keep the wonderful videos coming. I enjoy them immensely!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you JJB, love Smiths, well the old ones, I have talked about them a few times over the years, including their own Everest watches. Your support is always appreciated. Best regards, TGV

[@jb6027]

Smith's made an Everest model. I don't know if it was a renaming of the watch Hillary wore on the expedition, or a watch named to commemorate the event. I'd love to acquire a vintage Smith's watch, but alas they are so small for me.

[@paredair]

Man, that AP is something else! A cut above.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Neill :D Best regards, TGV

[@39Thorns]

The Explorer is the only Rolex I aspire to. Always a pleasure to visit your channel, good vibes and inspiration.

[@francescocrocioni]

I'm a new watch enthusiast and your fan of course. I'm going to buy a new automatic watch so I'm watching all your videos! You are great! Thank you Sir! Ciao from Italy ;)

[@theurbangentry]

Grazie Francesco, Greatly appreciated, nothing compares to a new automatic, enjoy the hunt! Best regards, TGV

[@robertjschroff6307]

Hi TGV! I’ve seen the Tudor white dial on you, don’t worry about that watch at all, looks amazing on you. Stunning watch. Gold, silver and pure white together represent something very high , solemn and spiritual too. All your watches point out your excellent taste with respect of the traditional values and heritage, it’s just so gentry, so deep and meaningful. Best wishes and greetings, Robert

[@tenorbanjoguy]

Just got the new silver dial Railmaster and I love the "do it all" funtion of it. Also, he two ladies (wife / daughter) in my life prefer it over my Speedy and Seamaster and my others, so it has that going for it!! I am loving the multi part SOTC vids Tristano. Fabulous job!!

[@theurbangentry]

You jammy thing! I adore the railmaster, enjoy it sir. Your two ladies have just as much good taste in watches as you have! :D Thank you my friend. Best regards, TGV

[@stephentaylor6320]

Your dress watches are pure class, by far your strongest category,love all of them.

[@TheRunningManZ]

I love the Explorer and it's on my list for down the line for sure. I kinda like the Hamilton, I think it has something nice. The 3/6/9 in gold is a nice change on the Explorer you have. The one I don't like is the Tudor, I think its the pictures myself but the white kinda looks plastic more so than enamel, in the vid the AP dial oozes class and quality, the Tudor doesn't. I also think legibility at low light would be an issue for me on the Tudor with the numerals etc. If I had that AP, I'm honestly not sure that Tudor would see the light of day. They just look very similar in terms of face/bezel etc colours but only one is utter class. BTW I love Tudor, I own one, bought this year so no brand bias here! ;)

[@Tiig9]

I wore my Orient Bambino today on navy nato strap and it made me a pleasant day. It is my only dress/everyday watch and it deserves to be my best casual selection. Nice video TGV!

[@tjarsun]

That wristwatch check was epic. I mean it fits the rest of your outfit down to perfection! Pure class. 😘

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Tamara, very kind of you to say. Best regards, TGV

[@iridiumscribe4915]

That Hamilton is a great looking piece. I personally own the 1962 Accumatic, one of my favorite pieces. Hamilton has a personal spot in my heart since it was the first brand that I bought when I started my own collection years ago.

[@Sebastian85]

A beautiful part of your collection. Especially the Hamilton, man it is so lovely. By the way, the slightly longer hair suits you very well! :) Thanks for sharing this great insight. Greetings, Sebastian

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Sebastian, very kind of you to say. I knew you would like the Hammy, very much your style! Best regards, TGV

[@MPKOpera]

Bravo Sir! I have to say every time I see a Tudor Date/Day, Glamour, etc I think it would be the perfect everyday watch. It’s a little dressy, a little sporty-I’m totally taken with them!

[@theurbangentry]

Michael!!! I hope you are well brother. I think the Glamour would suit your wonderfully. Would you go two tone or steel? I guess we can talk about it next week over pizza ;-) Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@MPKOpera]

I’d go steel for sure-only one of us can pull off the Bateman look! All best! MPK

[@Art_Gecko]

Hearing that selection of the Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 just makes me hop all over the place!

[@alessandrobucca545]

Always nice to receive a notification from your channel! Tanti saluti dalla Sicilia Alessandro

[@theurbangentry]

Yayyy! :D Grazie Alessandro, Best regards, TGV

[@AFCAWorldBodybuildingArchive]

TGV! Please make a review of the Sea-Gull Ocean Star! It looks nothing near being a hommage and it brings amazing features which push it's bang per buck into the skies. Going for around 350$ it has Sapphire crystal, 200m WR screw down crown, Hacking and Handwinding, Movement based on the ETA2824-2 beating at smooth 28800 bph, a top notch fit and finish, solid end link bracelet, a crisp 60 click bezel and a very unique design. I kinda fell in love with it. The only negative in your case I see is, that it is 44m.

[@1Rolinha]

I nominate the Hamilton as my favorite dress watch ( it’s too bad that I am in no position to make you an offer should you sell it ), it is very elegant. I admire it’s looks and history. And for favorite everyday wear, I would say the Explorer. It is both the perfect tool watch, and a strap monster! Thank you very much for another wonderful video sir!

[@smokedbacontv]

Just great to finish off a tough work weekend with a new gentry video! thank you very much!

[@theurbangentry]

That makes me happy to hear, I hope your next week is better. Stay strong my friend. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@jc944t]

Starting to understand the love for the Rolex Explorer. That Hamilton is fantastic as well. For me, it's my 1971 Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000 at 38 mm. Excellent video, thanks!

[@al_fenc]

wow! that AP is one of the most beautiful watches I have ever seen.

[@Palowaski]

Explorer - no lumed 3/6/9 and 36mm size give it the ability to be dressy - simple and arguably the best dial layout of any watch/ another Movado Museum - my absolute favorite Rolex 👍🏽 great little series- glad you came back to this- like a full circle as one of your first episodes to catch my eye was a collection review- always great vids 🍻

[@kjeldpedersen666]

Hi TGV What can you say...a marvelous collection of good taste surely. I can completely understand why the Rolex Explorer is your favorite, elegant and understated. Just as good for every day as for a business meeting. Well, even for suit & tie with the right strap. Oh yeah, I would like to have one. Until then I will have to stick with my DJ, which has some of the same qualities all though being more of a dress watch. I will never get rid of that one😊 I have never been a big fan of two tone watches, but that Tudor has the magic nevertheless. The AP too... You will let that Hamilton go, you say? Well, just post it to me. (Come again! Oh, you want money?!? Cruel world...) Keep up the good work👍

[@glen4662]

The part I was looking forward to most!! Great video as always TGV!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you :D Best regards, TGV

[@AFCAWorldBodybuildingArchive]

My peeve is when the day window covers the second marks. Always gotta be slightly below that :D

[@JeffWuerth]

Omega Aqua Terra is by far my favorite dress watch and tops my list of everyday watches as well.

[@MrChristryon]

The Hamilton with the engraving on the back - magnificent!!!! 👍👍

[@ulisesalmoinadelcueto4276]

The Explorer is the one of a kind !!!

[@eyalbaum1254]

My god that bulova accutron and the timex on the purple perlon...perfect!

[@mystic48209]

The timex with purple nato strap made it very formal and classy.

[@michaelhansen1903]

Datejust with white gold bezel on a Jubilee my favorite. Thanks for a great episode TGV

[@christopherrodriguez7223]

TGV, saved up my mula and purchased two Colareb straps for my Sarbs. Wow what a difference in appearance. Natos are nice but these straps are fantastic. I went with the Venezia in tobacco for my Alpinist and another in black for my Sarb033.

[@lakshminarasimhan6374]

Thanks TGV for sharing this video. I must say you have an amazing collection

[@petershallis2294]

I tried on the new Longines Avigation Big-Eye today...you have to see this piece, wonderful.

[@theurbangentry]

So funny, I was just looking at one a few days ago. Thank you Peter, I love it! I might have to visit Longines to take a look. Best regards, TGV

[@seanhill68]

I love the knowledge you bring on a variety of watches

[@jamesmurff193]

That Rolex Explorer is the only Rolex that I have ever seen, that I feel would be wearable. I don't really like Rolex that much, but that is a gorgeous, understated watch.

[@jeremycorrao]

Great video! I have to agree with you, the Explorer is probably the best everyday watch. Classic looking, clean and simple. Cheers!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you JC! :D Best regards, TGV

[@jackfyddle1]

My dress watches are Vintage Timex Seiko cocktail time New issue marlin and the burgundy automatic Marlin Every day- Timex easy reader, Navi harbor maritime sport, Rolex Submariner Various other divers, Chronos, pitot watches Hamilton etc

[@rogersposts818]

If my house is on fire and I can only grab one watch, yes it would be the Explorer but I'd go back in to grab the AP. Thanks TGV. I hope you stay with the Watchbox crew for a long time! Wish you the best!

[@rickewilde]

You know what I like the most about your collection....it's not ostentatious.just really nice collectable pieces with history and variation and horological interest.good work fella.

[@hurricaneheli79]

My everyday is my G-Shock G2300 or any of my 3 Swatches. My dress watch is a Datejust, rarely wear it. More of my special occasion watch. The G-Shock & Datejust are my for life, never sell or give away no matter what.

[@alexnguyen7989]

Great to see your collection grow! I have been watching since middle school now!

[@theurbangentry]

That is very inspiring to hear, especially from the next generation of Gentry! :D Thank you for the loyal support, good luck on any further studies. Best regards, TGV

[@Audittr2108]

The dressier and everyday watched in my collection - Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm dark rhodium dial, Cartier Santos 100 mid size, Tissot PRC 200 and Bering Classic Chronograph.

[@jon8oy86]

Great video as ever TGV! I started watching the channel a few months ago and bought my first proper watch shortly after. It is a Longines Jamboree reference 6884 (1962),and it's a gorgeous little watch. I have small wrists, but it fits beautifully and works as both a dress watch with my kilt or as an every day watch with a suit at work. I am going to buy some more straps and experiment, just have a black lizard strap now. Thank you for inspiring me to get started, unfortunately after watching your videos I have a very long list of watches to buy next! Most likely is going to be Tudor Pepsi GMT, lovely watch.

[@Drive-n-Vibe]

seriously loving that hamilton. I think it's probably my favourite of your collection

[@ivoryyapper]

"In many ways it kind of encapsulates me... no, that sounds a bit pretentious." LOL

[@BobbyG3752]

I absolutely love the tudor day/date , incredibly stunning

[@philiploveswatcheswhiskies9832]

Some fine Timepieces there on show TGV...the Rolex is my favourite...love the Tudor aswell..happy times😊

[@sebastiandavies7321]

That lord whatever is stunning one if my fav watches in your collection!

[@jmand63]

A great "dress & everyday's collection" from a man - you - whose real passion for watchmaking is rightly based on targeted models, not only brands. I think that if ORIENT would produce a Bambino with e.g a 36 or 38 diameter without date, it might be part of your collection. Thank you for your much appreciated video!

[@wessamhamadneh9877]

That AP is what changed my taste in watches ... All I care about and buy is dress watches now

[@tonymaiettasr.7340]

I like the Bulova Accuton. My older brother has promised me his. I can't wait! Great video

[@michelerecinella4365]

Another great video TGV, pure class!

[@77cjam]

Great video and good collection. Must admit I'm definitely more of a dress watch person more than any other style. Enjoyable and informative as always. Thank you ⌚

[@chechenwojak5671]

As always, You made my day TGV. Watching Your videos after a long day in school is Just a great thing for me. Because of Your videos, i know much more about watches than my dad, although I'm only 13😅. I saved up some money and bought a Citizen AW 5000 - 24E Field watch with an Eco drive and a wr100 water resistant. I have a Vostok Komandirskie from 1990 that my grandfather was wearing too. ( Now it's on a NATO strap and it looks gorgeous😎) So that is my journey with watches! I was thinking that it would be cool to share it with you😉 Cheers! Charlie from Poland

[@superfish554]

As always, fantastic video! Always a pleasure to watch and congrats on a fabulous collection! Personal favourite has to be the Explorer!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much :D Best regards, TGV

[@russellc7322]

Stunning collection Sir... channel is going from strength to strength ! Inspired for next dress watch 👌, nice watch case btw !

[@stitchpo]

Seeing this video drove home the point for me: you, my friend TGV, have superb, eclectic taste in watches.

[@theurbangentry]

I am deeply flattered. Thank you my friend. Best regards, TGV

[@GX9SP]

Did you know that Hunter S. Thompson wore a Spaceview Accutron during his legendary visit to Las Vegas in 1971? He references wearing it in his book, at least once. I'd try and find the quote but it's late enough as it is.

[@chrisskatebmx9578]

My favorite dress watch that I have in my collection is a Grayton automatic, it has an NH35 movement, beautiful blue hands, a display back, it's a little too big for my wrist but it's surprisingly comfortable for being a 44mm watch, most of my others are a lot smaller but it is a very solid feeling piece.

[@gunteris1144]

Thanks for good videos and for sharing interesting, rare, historical horology devices with us.. I like your videos since I have discovered them.. thank you Tristano

[@thederp7690]

Would you recommend I buy a vintage hamilton, longines or omega for my vintage dress watch

[@Inkreptile]

Oooh i love that purple on that timex and also 35-38 mm watches Are awesome

[@Ross_Dugan]

I absolutely could not agree more about the Rolex Explorer. It is my current grail watch. So common, yet so dressy, I’ll own one here soon some day.
