Hey TGV, I just purchased my first luxury watch! It’s an omega speed master “sapphire sandwich” I purchased from crown and caliber. I just wanted to tell you that your channel nurtured my love of watches from a young age, and without it, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Cheers.

[@theurbangentry]

Congrats! I hope you enjoy it. What a cool choice. I am inspired by your words of support, here's to you and your love for the hobby! Thank you Taylor, Best regards, TGV

[@tecra3toshiba149]

@@theurbangentry TUG - may I indulge your attention, with a question? I wore watches from 12 or so until I was 38 or so. I am really hard of watches. My physical chemistry is such that I eat the cases until they shave skin off me. I went thru 4 or so watches but now due to finding your content - I am intrigued to find my first watch in retirement. Stainless case comes to mind, can you suggest? Or even point to a video to follow. Watches, great tools, find wine or scotch, great food - life is about the enjoyment of the experience rather than just trudging thru it! Cheers and Thank you! PS - I will search your content in the mean time.

Best intro yet.

Nothing beats that Seiko samurai/shogun intro...

[@eaustin2006]

And I like your mic reviews. I recently bought a senheiser featured on your channel because it sounded so damn good. A really informative channel if you 're in the market, and fun even if you're not. Keep throwing those boxes!

The only channel that I ALWAYS watch the full intro. They are as good as the info on watches! Best to you in your new direction.

[@Okido24]

This is TGV, transparent, gentleman, witty. Tristano you are genuine, that’s is the biggest compliment in my vocabulary. Onwards and upwards, friend.

[@MegaKillertje]

Just the whole atmosphere that you create around your show. I mean WOW it starts with the intro and then you start talking about those watches very passionate on a good pace, not to fast and neither to slow, very informative and entertaining. But not only that does it for me. It is also everything that is going on in the background I mean those beautiful images on the computer screens that change from time to time, the movie poster that is standing behind you and off course your bulletin board which is also full off stuff about watches and historical things. For me all those things together just make it a great show which sets a tone that not many shows know how to create. Keep up the good work! And thank you for all the videos you have created so far. (Sorry for my English, I just really needed to tell you this) Big fan from The Netherlands

[@wilmergreen9480]

Your channel is going back to its roots, not just watches and that’s a good thing 😀👍

[@KhairudinJalaludin]

TGV, You made the right call with the channel- preserve the enthusiasm, and give yourself room for the occasional eclectic episode. Armchair critics can't understand all the not quite visible forces pushing and pulling at creators, or the fact that there's life beyond watches that require your attention. Your efforts show who you are, because you don't copy anyone else. Admitting mistakes is not weakness, as you know. And Hugo is great fun!. Thanks for your hard work!

[@alexm2113]

I think your channel has absolutely moved in the right direction TGV. Nowadays it's very reminiscent of the first couple of years of The Urban Gentry, where you just share what you like. I loved seeing you make coffee and doing other things. Those videos are what made me a subscriber and seeing that style being carried on now is great.

Hi TGV, I've been watching your "show" for a few years ( my how time flies). One of the first I watched was about making coffee! My how your style has developed!! I am so pleased you have returned to your love of "many things" and to be totally honest the only time I felt the show had lost some of its enthusiasm was the Watchbox era-it felt a bit jaded ,I hope you don't mind me saying. We share lots of common interests from architecture ( I took my degree in it) films , mens sartorial garb and in general all things fine & quality. Pens, watches and jewellry included. I loved your comments on Christopher Ward watches recently (Trident my daily wear) also have Tissot, Maurice Lacroix & Longines in my autos, plus several quartz. Still a great show and content and I truly love your ethos. From over here in Blighty. Best regards

[@duanerobinson935]

Love the channel. I love the content and the content creator. You have opened my eyes a lot of cool stuff other than watches. I’m always paying attention to what’s in the background and even the music.

My wife has an older version it has the good highlights on the case and band but without that feature on the bracelet ....and funny thing - is she sort of looks at the Urban Gentry channel from a distance ......but after this video finished she said - that adjustment is a great idea 💡 so you’ve secretly had another fan and she now wants that feature on hers !!
