I would love a video like this one for European watch lovers. Buying from US is out of question considering customs costs are stupidly high.

[@bluelabel222]

Just wear it and mail the paper and box back to your country

[@gray_space_alien]

I have to say the production quality of your intro's is astoundingly good.

[@Larry-gs8gb]

No need to apologize for your vids being too long,I appreciate the insight your off the cuff comments bring to your reviews. I like the longer vids and the personal observations and off tangent stories about various interesting topics. I must say Jolly good show !

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Larry, very much appreciated. Best regards, TGV

[@maxprivus]

Definitely - very much appreciate that TGV makes the effort. Some other KZbin watch channel hosts could learn from his example.

[@brodieenrique1003]

sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me.

[@jhdkoopman2]

I wanted to thank you for being a great resource for a newbie watch collector. In February I bought the Seiko SNK805 after watching your video. It's my first automatic and I'm delighted with the quality I got for such a low price. I have since gone on to get a Casio Protrek PRW-3000-1CR after watching another of your videos. I'm now well on my way to being a horology junkie and your videos go a long way in helping me get the best quality timepieces in my moderate price range.

[@intmum7236]

Hi! Could you point me towards where you got the SNK805 from? And how much did it cost you

[@waktosha7378]

I do take a gamble on a couple grey market sellers when the price is a steal, or nobody else has what I am looking for. I wouldn't buy high end thru the grey market though. My 2 favorite online sellers are PassTheWatch and Long Island Watch. I am not sure if PTW is grey market, but even if they are, they are great people to deal with! PTW is located in California.

[@jimlittle5769]

Topper Jewelers is THE best. Rob is the man! I was very disappointed with my last experience with Timeless Luxury. My mistake not sticking with Rob at Toppers.

[@amodbhanushali]

I recently bought my first automatic watch (a Seiko SKX007) from Marc at Long Island to start my collection with a bang. Got intrigued because of your videos. It's due to arrive in a couple weeks. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Thanks for all the advice you give for watches at all price points.

[@shadymike88]

are you importing it to India? what are the customs formalities/ charges? does the product arrive at your doorstep or do you have to go to the customs office?

[@somethingsmith3242]

Bought a few items from him myself. Good place provided you are okay with not being able to call him or someone there on the phone, which I am not a big fan of. Verbal contact these days is in short supply, but I will no longer be supplied by folks who don’t provide this service. I’m pretty sure their suppliers take phone calls from them when they need to communicate verbally. While I’m not a watch retailer/seller I am a watch and accessories buyer, albeit for my own house, I’m a buyer none the less.

[@luckygoldpanda]

You’ve really helped kick start my watch collecting bug. Which is unfortunate due to my budget, but alas, your videos help scratch that itch for now so all is well. I’ve also just realized why I keep coming back to your channel. Your editing and way of presenting is so much more pleasant to watch than others I’ve found and never feels like a forced advertisement or anything of the sorts. Keep it up!

[@drewhunkins7192]

Over the past 6 years I've traded-in/purchased four different Rolex watches to Jomashop and never had a problem.

[@Stefano50]

Same here! I have bought 2 higher end pieces and had a perfect purchase experience for exquisite new watches.

[@Gadfly625]

Thank you this is GOLD to have great references to eBay sellers and Luxury and AD's and pre-owned and vintage all in one place from a trusted source. Absolutely AWESOME thanks again

[@tommasocaretti1810]

Hi Tristano, I usually avoid commenting on you tube videos, mostly because my English is very bad, but I have to tell you: your channel is awesome. You seems to be an honest, generous and wonderful human being and you deserve the tremendous amount of success you’re having. Keep it real and whenever you want to visit Modena, just let me know. All my very Best.

[@mannyapanay9502]

Great information as always...I have begun a watch collection because of your channel. I really didn't know anything about watches until I started listening to your videos. Love the suggestions, all of the lists, and the general fun that you have in disseminating all of this great stuff! Thanks for all you do, and I will now be spending the next several weeks browsing the websites of these 7 suggestions...

[@gregmacd2829]

My brother meet Marc from LI Watch, said the same as you, stand up guy, the real deal as he put it, so on my brothers recommendation, I bought an Islander from LI watch, can't recommend this site and watch enough...great sale and I will buy from him again.

[@bingskiddd]

I just bought a watch from Mark this morning. I emailed him yesterday morning at around 6:50am, he got back to me at 7am......... Incredible service!

[@rschachner]

After watching this video I decided to go with Long Island Watch for a Seiko diver. Great price and easy to shop. Will update after the watch arrives... I trust all will go well. (Great channel, BTW)

[@NPow94]

Update?

[@chemortiz1]

Long Island Watches is really great . I had an urgency and they shipped my SKX007 in less than 24 hours!!! Thanks Mark!

[@JJherne]

I'm weak. I wasn't going to buy another watch until my birthday (August) but today I saw C.Ward is currently offering a 15% discount across the Trident range and long story short my birthday this year is in April ! Anyway, great info there TGV. I'll be in the US later this year (live in the UK) so may look up these retailers. The honesty and integrity is much appreciated. Perhaps an early Christmas present...

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you for the kind words, deffo go for the CWard, you will not regret it, life is too short! August after all is donkeys away ;-) Best regards, TGV

[@DesmondSG]

We are all weaklings when it comes to resisting the urge to get another timepiece xD

[@johnmiranda9310]

You are really a welcomed sight to watch. This intro was absolutely AWESOME...!!🤗

[@JuniorExecutive1987]

I was very pleased with Govberg in the Philadelphia region. I was foolish and didn't check out the Speedmaster Reduced in person before I bought it used from them online. When it arrived and I realized it was too small for me they were fantastic about returning it, treated me well when I went to the store, and I bought a used Speedmaster Professional off them instead, couldn't be happier.

[@the1916company]

Thanks for sharing your experience with our sister company, Govberg Jewelers!

[@APPLEPIE978]

Long Island Watch Black Friday deals are always the best.

[@theurbangentry]

Absolutely, Thank you for sharing that, I should of mentioned it! Best regards, TGV

[@ryan_chandler]

What kind of deals go down?

[@soulfulfool]

next year im gonna check it ;)

[@Teachering]

These videos in which you outline for viewers the "Best Watch Sellers" are invaluable, TGV.

[@jstrat121]

I ordered my Orient Bambino from Long Island watch.When I called to ask a question I was shocked that It was Mark himself that actually answered the phone! He was very friendly and helpful ! I have also bought a few watches from Jomashop with no issues either( in case thats who you were referring to ?( unscrupulous Brooklyn watch dealers ).

[@styx4947]

Pure Class. When you say that all you want is to know we are in good hands, i believe it. Thats saying something, iam and always have been a viscous cynic. But you can tell, its a gut feeling. Keep up the good work for the Good Gentry.

[@softmetals3702]

that swatch you have on is shown on a billboard in St Marks sq with Jaws from a Bond movie. I saw it when i was there back in 2012 on a 2 week European trip. right around the time Quantum of Solace came out. you have some great content love the show

[@webberfan1234]

Luckily I live very close to Timeless and can attest to the pure class of the store.

[@theurbangentry]

So glad to hear, thank you for sharing that. Best regards, TGV

[@whiteflowerscotland]

Interesting video -however, I think that it's really important to address the international market - I'm sure that a lot of your viewers are not in the US and the question of international sales AND after-sale support is crucial. I would like you to comment also on Amazon; for a lot of us (I'm in Israel) - Amazon is one of the best sources (obviously not just for watches) - is everything "grey" in their watch department? Can we rely on the Amazon guarantee? - certainly their customer support is excellent. Grateful for any input

[@skipacuff5104]

TGV, you are an international treasure! Thanks for this very useful overview of the crème de la crème of trustworthy businesses who happen to sell wearable timepieces almost as a logistical byproduct of their enthusiasm for spreading the joy of appreciating fine watchmaking as an end in itself. TGV, thanks very much additionally for sharing your mental potpourri of observations during the course of revealing your keen watchmanship. (If I have just coined that word, I hereby acknowledge guilt or responsibility 🤓).

[@kevinkelly6524]

Glad you have Long Island watch. Great customer service, and a great business model. He’s the guy for nice entry level, and upper entry level watches

[@BMXIX]

I was surprised to hear you mention Saltzmans. I'm looking for my first real watch and they are a few mins from my house. I'm going to stop in tomorrow....hopefully there's an Urban Gentry discount :) !

[@krishutchins1056]

I'm in Tx and I'm gonna go visit Timeless Luxury Watches now because of this video.

[@jimmyjames3220]

Very useful thank you! I bought from Mark at Long Island Watches after learning about them from your channel and was very pleased. Glad to hear about these other places thanks again! I enjoyed the new intro too!

[@theurbangentry]

Very pleased to hear, thank you Jimmy. Best regards, TGV

[@lanceuppercut7436]

That was an excellent seller reference list TGV. I’ve purchased from Marc and Long Island Watches and received excellent service from him. Now I have six other reputable sellers I can potentially purchase from with peace of mind. Many thanks. Onwards an upwards🙏🏻👍🏻⏱

[@bhollobaugh]

Your videos have been very helpful in helping me understand watches, how to collect them, and very entertaining.

[@64wing]

I recommend your channel to everyone I end up talking with about watches. Well done again, good sir!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much, deeply appreciated! Best regards, TGV

[@saleendriver]

I agree with you about Marc from Long Island Watch. Great selections, and great customer service. One recent example was when I was resizing my new Seiko Turtle PADI edition, which I did not buy from Marc; and no knowing about the pin and collar type of bracelet I had (rookie mistake), I lost some of the collars. Could not find them on eBay. Wrote an email, at night, to Marc to ask him if he sold them. Not only did he reply, THAT NIGHT!, but shipped me some collars. No charge. Now that's a stand up guy! I know where my next Seiko purchases will be from.

[@bennybenitez2461]

Most thankful for proper and brilliantly presented line of the entire lot of those seven organization. Your in-depth knowledge is fostering and encouraging my admiration and interest in Horology.

[@billnyfeler]

TGV, this is a great vid! Thanks for the personal recommendations of these trusted dealers.

[@theurbangentry]

So glad to hear and you are most welcome Bill. Best regards, TGV

[@nrs6956]

Long Island Watch is a solid dealer. Thank you.

[@fpoynton1604]

TGV . Thank you again. Such important information. Nothing could be worse then buying a false or poor quality product - even paying to much would seem quite minuscule by comparison. Your recomendations carry much credibility and are very much appreciated. ☺

[@StratBurst92]

Long Island Watch is great. Bought my Seiko Orange Monster from him in 2013. A very high level of professionalism.

[@FarshadFelfelian]

The intro cracks me up every time. Absolutely amazing!

[@DougChristenson]

Comforting video. I just bought a Seiko Prospex from LIW and it isn't keeping time. I was concerned about how difficult it will be to get it exchanged (we all have a horror story), but after your endorsement of Mark I am relieved. Your stamp of approval carries a massive amount of clout. Keep up the good work.

[@theurbangentry]

Sorry to hear about your Seiko, I am sure Marc will look after you. These things do happen! Thank you for the kind words, Best regards, TGV

[@dhaferalqarni9291]

I am from Saudi Arabia and I'm a big fan of your work

[@leaturk11]

I'm glad vie found this channel...but I'm spending way too much now on watches...

[@l.carroll9076]

TGV, Thanks so much for helping me find Moyer. I recently worked with them and could not be happier about the experience I had. I'll be recommending them to everyone I know. Thanks and I really enjoy the channel!

[@chooseboost]

It is very helpful to get your advice on who we can trust when starting out a watch collection. Thank You.

[@garretthu2466]

Watchbuys, one of the best guys I have had the pleasure to meet and buy from.

[@AmishNinjaMaster]

THE absolute best TUG video intro EVER!!!

[@alexm2113]

Great video and one I think is extremely useful! I'd like to add Gnomon Watches as another great seller. They are in Singapore and sell a lot of German brands as well as JDM Seiko's. I bought my SARX033 from them and they delivered it in just two days from Singapore to the east coast of the USA. They even included a free NATO strap that matched the watch perfectly without me even asking!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank toy for mentioning them, I have only heard good things too. Best regards, TGV

[@LordArioh]

I buy on Chrono24. Don't know if it's good or nah, but so far every single watch is a complete satisfactory.

[@stefanmi1]

Hey TGV, good video. Just a suggestion for your top 10 (or 7 in this case) videos, you should put timestamp links in the description that will skip to the exact point in the video that you start talking about each item. I can't tell you how many times I'll watch a top 10 vid of yours for a half hour and go "what was that 5th one.....or maybe 6th" and it's hard to skip around the video manually to replay something specific. Just a thought. Thanks, love the channel.

[@BenA_DD]

Glad to see Moyer's on this list. I live in the area and frequent the thier physical location often. Great people with great selections, really the only place in the midwest to get and Grand Seiko in the flesh. Very helpful video!

[@markweaver4101]

Thanks for hooking-me-up with Salzmans. They have done excellent work for me!

[@dnafty]

Thanks for another great video. Been looking for a fair and safe place to find my vintage treasure. Also... I concur wholeheartedly... Mark at Long Island Watches is a stand up guy. Very professional and helpful. I highly recommend L.I.W.

[@thecrazywolf01]

TGV - I have been watching your videos regularly for the past few months. Your videos are very inspirational and really enjoy the variety (including the non-horology videos) and your enthusiasm is contagious. I’m Swiss (from Geneva) and I think that the industry needs a lot more of what you are delivering - making this passion more accessible / relatable and yet still holding true to tradition in a modern (digital) world!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much sir! Welcome aboard. Best regards, TGV

[@Gmt_connection]

Gave it a like just off the intro !! Good work

[@adammetcalfe8748]

I grew up in Indiana and drove through Carmel several times a year…Never knew of Moyer. I'll have to stop in the next time I'm there!

[@MrRoyck10]

That introduction is epic, TGV production is fantastic: TGV the watch channels watch channel!! The evidence is compelling that AC3 watches your channel hence the JLC slogan.

[@jonathancole8062]

I have purchased most of my collection on Long Island Watch!! Marc is awesome. Thank you TGV. My wallet hates you, but I dont care about his opinion 😂😂

[@jaysterling26]

Jonathan Cole I just bought a SKX013 from them. It was shipped to England no problem. Good to hear he's a nice chap.

[@chemortiz1]

Yes Mark is really Great manager

[@Alexsooze]

Jay Sterling Hi did you have to pay VAT on top of the price you purchased the watch for? I’m based in England too. Thanks

[@ryan_chandler]

Your wallpaper of "Netherlandish Proverbs by Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1559, oil on wood panel, Berlin, Germany,)" was on my art history quiz today lol. Great video as usual

[@theurbangentry]

Love that one!!!! Thank you Ryan, your quiz sounded like pure class ;-) Best regards, TGV

[@eusupporter8438]

To see Manhattan is great but to be a guest in your waroom is a honor and feels familiar, well...guess many of us have a similar place and even watch you from there. So everthing is fine, Thank you for the new video, mein Herr. (Sir) 👍

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you sir! Very kind of you to say my friend. I must admit, I can't complain either ;-) Best regards, TGV

[@markplayford5836]

Nice that you gave Mark a mention at Long Island, love his KZbin stuff plus if you leave a comment he always replies. I'm based in the U.K. and nice to see Page and Cooper get a mention, got a Marathon from them and will be ordering my Damasko their too. Ha, when I ever get around to saving for one!

[@S700KYFPV]

Love the channel. Leaning a lot. Have a nice little collection going now thanks to you that will keep me happy for a long time.

[@theurbangentry]

Very happy to hear that, very inspirational! Thank you for sharing, Best regards, TGV

[@NativeTxn780]

I can vouch for Timeless. Dan, Anna, Steve, and Mike are all great. Friendly, easy to talk to, happy to let you try on as many watches as you would like, and even have a small selection of adult beverages they offer you while you browse. It’s fun to go in and just chat with them about Watches and try a few on. Can’t speak highly enough about them. The only negative is that they are moving about 10 minutes south to Legacy West in Plano in a few months - and the only reason that is a negative is because it’s further from my house! So yes, I’m being selfish when I count the move as a negative, because in reality, I think the new space is going to be pretty awesome.

[@albertojr.carreon5580]

Awesome! I bought an Orient from Long Island Watch! Love the watch & excellent service!

[@1FLYISH]

Thanks for your help and info. you've helped me purchase my last 4 watches, a Citizen eco drive made for the Italian Aviazione Navale, absolutely beautiful. 2 automatic Seiko's ref. SNF17K1 and SNZG15K1 inexpensive, handsome and reliable, and lastly a Glycine Ref. GL0109 combat 6. Thanks again for all of help, love your passion.

[@SikhJedi]

I'm 20 seconds into this video and it's sick!!!

[@Christopher-ss8cz]

Thank you for this video. I haven't been into collecting vintage watches yet, but it's great that this video helps point me in the right direction.

[@PeteyH1966]

As usual, a great video. I very much admire your enthusiasm for watch collecting and greatly appreciate that you won’t trash-talk brands, regardless of their cost or perceived value (e.g. Invicta, etc.). Do you have any plans for a video on the best places to sell one’s watches?

[@BeyondWrittenWords]

07:50 you dropped the vintage watch, made my day!

[@burlymugg]

Here's personally backing Triad Vintage. Honest man, amazing taste.

[@bubbab7792]

Good vid TGV, the true Gentry applaude your services in bringing us quality dealers. Thank you.

[@thorgunderson1998]

Wow was not expecting Moyer Fine Jewelers. I live in Indianpolis and its a great place for watches.

[@rongriffiths6927]

Very informative video and good to know about dealers.

[@JimmyTRUELOVE]

Where'd you get your shirt??

[@247tubefan]

Best intro. yet. "Live long & prosper"

[@patrickdehaan3670]

247tubefan: SIT VIS VOBISCUM

[@reinaldoreyes5631]

Just want to congratulate you on the excellent content of your videos. We have very similar taste. I have not only enjoyed, but also learned a lot. Just ordered a CW trident c65 GMT, and a Colt is closely next in line. Keep up the good work!

[@craiglee7896]

Perfect timing on the video for me as I happen to be in Hong Kong for the weekend. I will drop by their shop to checkout their watches while I'm here. Great video and keep up the good work.

[@dbonboard]

Amazing video TGV. It's the video I was waiting for. You got it right. We save up in order to buy watches we love and it's heartbreaking when someone takes advantage of us and rips us off. I cannot agree more with you. There are a lot of cowboys out there and eBay is a shark tank. Thank you TGV and thank you for your amazing effort to educate us. Thank you again Lords of the watches.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you my friend. Always appreciated. Onwards and upwards! Best regards, TGV

[@phillipgatelein8591]

Great video. Loved the "heads up " on the who are the good guys are. Cheers.

[@allrightknight]

Another excellent piece 👍🏼 heartfelt professional endorsements, gives us a greater selection to look at and expand the market we feel comfortable making our purchases!

[@ellehaan]

The intro is really cool as always

[@bobbythebobtail]

Swatch jellyfish was my first ever watch! Great to see it again!

[@adamrassi3516]

Im so happy you included Long Island Watches. Marc is really as nice and knowledgable as is told im thia video. He has a youtube chanel you should check out as well. I havent decided which will be the first watch I buy from him but I will be doing so soon.

[@EnriqueGiliOrtiz]

I only buy in official stores... I like that the sellers open the door for me.

[@zakariyahshah5229]

Very good video as always tgv, loving the new interest chap!

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

Great video TGV, you guys in USA and Europe have such a wide variety of Watch stores compared to here in Australia.

[@davidtimbro3677]

Perfect TGV, when I pull the trigger on that 1st luxury watch it'll be from 1 on the list. PS have done business with Marc at LIW, very, very professional.

[@johns.miller9192]

Did you receive a warranty when purchasing a watch from LIW? No? How's that professional?

[@clayjones1071]

The beat in the intro...! Feelin it.

[@curvygirlzrock8836]

Hi I really appreciate your information I recommend your channel to a watch repair gentleman today.... I made the tragic mistake of taking a shower with my watch on... He serviced it and gave me a warranty for a year. I adore the watch and will be more careful from now on.

[@kmrenard]

As I watched this video, I kept hoping you would me mention a Texas store! Im a new sub and have been watching all your videos. Thanks for all you do. I love your enthusiasm, energy, and fair unbiased positive opinions.

[@stevecrabtree6530]

Great video, thank you!! It's always nerve racking buying online.

[@theurbangentry]

Nerve racking no more! Buy with confidence my friend. Thank you Steve, Best regards, TGV

[@shawn1928]

Thank you! I'm new to the world of refined watches so this helps

[@jerrygundecker743]

As usual, it was too short but just sweet enough, Thnx TGV.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Jerry :D Very kind. Best regards, TGV

[@pclarin]

Adore the intro to this one. 👍

[@mikewysko2268]

[@PrinceNeeta]

Thank you for the amazing content! What is your opinion about auctions? And do you have any watch auctions that you prefer or recommend?
