The Ultimate 38mm Racing $250 Chronograph - Dan Henry 1964 "Gran Turismo" Watch Review

Today I present a world exclusive premiere of the latest release for 2018 by legendary watch collector and personal hero Dan Henry.
The 1964 “Gran Turismo” is a watch inspired by a plethora of iconic racing chronographs of the 1960s. From the iconic panda dials of the Heuer Carrera and Rolex Daytona Cosmograph, to the elegance of the Omega Seamaster (Cal. 321 chronograph) and Breitling Top Time, the 1964 brings it all together for a staggeringly affordable $250.
Could this be the best new racing chronograph in its price range and in a size true to its time period? Join me to find out!

Your best work to date. Please don't change your relaxed, friendly style. Your the best of the best!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you sir, very kind and deeply appreciated I will never change :D Best regards, TGV

[@robertmarshall7712]

Oh no... can't decide between panda, reverse panda or slate grey! They all look fantastic in their different way.

[@FourIntoOne]

Ahh you bugger. You just cost me $250. Went with the Panda.... :-)

[@jonboll2066]

Do you have to buy the leather strap seperate.. only see bracelets on website for 64

[@bfbsr]

date / no date?

[@alex_inside]

@@jonboll2066 I think it comes with both.

[@PixelPerfect3]

Damn it, me too. Went with the panda no date

[@FourIntoOne]

Black strap included with the the watch as well as the bracelet...

[@patrickkelly5590]

Owning the 1963, I'm a fan of the brand. When Paul Newman's Daytona sold for such an astronomical sum, I asked Dan if he was considering something similar and he mentioned this one. I'm glad to finally see it. Love the reverse panda on the bracelet.

[@muhammadshafiq661]

Omg. I've never been so hyped. Finally a 38mm chrono!! Speedy reduced still owns my heart but this will make a fine substitute

[@TanTran-dr8pj]

38mm chronographs are like unicorns . love your vid!

[@sleepingbanshee_]

absolutely true. hahhaaha a 38mm el primero is a true treasure too.

[@dl733sak]

Just now getting back into watches after about a decade break. Your other Dan Henry review was the first I watched on these. Been watching a lot of your videos. There are tons of good watch channels on KZbin. Your the only watch one I'm subscribed too. Love this channel.

[@petershallis2294]

I was expecting to be underwhelmed or at best indifferent, but I am actually properly impressed. The size is a crowd pleaser and the build quality looks to be spot on at the price. Reverse panda on a distressed brown leather strap please!

[@theurbangentry]

So glad to hear Peter, especially coming from you. I like the distressed leather idea, I might just have to do that before I return it. Thank you my friend, always glad to hear from you. Best regards, TGV

[@navajasrs2402]

On the Dan Henry website the proper term is... "Evil Panda"! :-)

[@Tomatohater64]

I love the gray dial with the dark brown strap. Nice representation of "old school" chronos.

[@davidmichienzi101]

I always enjoy when you get to have a world premiere on the channel, Dan Henry just gets this wonderful interest of ours. One of your best review's yet my friend. 👍🇮🇹😊

[@stevetownsend1389]

Terrific review! As always, thank you for providing great insight into another wonderful timepiece.

[@Supercruze]

Fantastic review TGV. I have the DH 1970 in 40mm and absolutely love the quality and workmanship in DH watches for the price point. Your review of the new 1964 pushed me over the edge and I put in an order for one. I have to say most of my watches have date complications but his particular watch looks so elegant and clean without the date that I opted for No Date. Beautiful work by Dan Henry.

[@Andy-4342]

Thanks for another great video and sharing these new watches with us. Not a fan of chrono's myself but these definitely have a full sense of style, not being overcrowded on the dial yet still functional and quite attractive overall. I wish Mr. Henry made more automatic watches, I would love one of his 1963's as an automatic. Thanks again TGV for all of your hard work, it is greatly appreciated!

[@jeremycorrao]

Fantastic intro! I love Grand Turismo! Congrats to Dan Henry, the watches look great! The smaller size definitely give them a more "vintagy" feel :-) Cheers!

[@alexm2113]

Loved the into on this one TGV. Great review too and congrats on getting to do the world premiere for these!

[@aramkrikorian9460]

Dan Henry is a great guy. He personally thanked me when I purchase my '39. His passion for watches has expanded my appreciation for horology. His site, timeline.watch, is such an excellent site to learn about vintage watches. I get lost there sometimes and forget what time it is. I will definitely be acquiring one (?) of this new batch. Great review, as always. (They appear to be available now. BTW, I also happened to be wearing my flightmaster while I watched the review.)

[@Mrtubbula]

Great review ! Dan Henry is designing and producing really beautiful affordable watches . Can’t wait to get my hand on the 1964!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, so glad to hear, you are gonna love it! Best regards, TGV

[@Joeyczhu]

@@theurbangentry Hi, it's been over q year now but idk which one I should choose. 1962 or 1964?

[@kristinadyer9360]

Wife just got me one 4 Xmas, Couldn't love it anymore. Beautiful dress watch and at a price point that the novice watch guy can appreciate. I love your videos, keep up the great work, your videos have made me a watch guy... Looking forward to expanding my collection.

[@believeimages6034]

Your intros are the best. This one is my favorite one so far. Totally a car guy. Combines my love of cars and watches.

[@nicholasurfe9568]

xactly!!!!!

[@scottlove6027]

I just ordered my second Dan Henry watch, the 1964. Never thought I would get so much value for such a reasonable price. I appreciate your style, detail, and sagacious advice to watch connoisseurs.

[@daviewavie112]

Scott Love which version did you get? They have a new chronograph model out, the 1962. It’s 👌🏼

[@jasonhackley]

I got an email from Dan Henry announcing this watch. As soon as I saw the photo I knew that I wanted it! I saw in the email that you posted a review and I jumped on to watch straight away. I already own the 1970 and love it. Just ordered this baby in Slate Grey. Thanks so much for the review! You always do such a great job, and the reviews are SO informative.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Jason, very much appreciated. Always a pleasure my friend, you are a true gent and reading your comment makes it all worth it. Best regards, TGV

[@jw.2507]

Yes!! Any time TGV uploads, it's a good day! Absolute love to you, TGV. Thank you for turning me onto watches. What a wonderful and beautiful hobby to have.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much my friend, hearing that makes my day! Enjoy the journey my friend. Best regards, TGV

[@ahmadrosli207]

38mm wrist size people where you at! 🤚

[@8tenthsup]

Been waiting for racing chronos!! Best intro yet!!!! Great work TGV!

[@ivancastro6226]

Im super glad to have found this video. Before officially buying my very first Dan Henry watch. Can't believe I haven't heard of Dan Henry watches till now.

[@ArexRee000]

Fantastic intro! For some reason my watch taste has been moving in a retro direction and I’ve been considering buying my first chronograph. Then this review comes along...

[@solobinoy2k]

Fantastic review. Great story too about meeting the man to then lending you the pieces for the review. Great stuff, that grey is gorgeous

[@sumorich1978]

Best video intros on KZbin. Just took a look at the website and fell in love with the 1947

[@edhammond6911]

By the way, I love your show. You got me into watch collecting. I am totally hooked, I have bought 15 watches in the last three months. Your intros are amazing. My three or four most expensive watches were bought on your referral. I buy a lot of Quartz watches because they are more affordable and less hassle. I also love your videos on with a real gentleman is and just trying to be a better person. They line up with my Christian values. Thank you for your kind reply.keep up the good work.

[@mattsol1138]

This is exactly what i've been waiting for from Dan henry. Just ordered the panda no date I really can't wait! Glad that you got the exclusive on these tgv great partnership 👌

[@krekmanski]

the music in the beginning... everything is outstanding, TGV !

[@RiffDevin]

Those look fantastic. Clearly you don't need to break the bank for a quality timepiece these days

[@helluminati]

Received my Gran Turismo today, the slate gray tricomplex. Thank you for the review which led me to the purchase. I absolutely love it. Stay safe and healthy

[@fortisf.3563]

Always waiting late night just to check if TGV has uploaded a new Video! Great Video ;) Best regards !

[@LordRobbert]

Loved the review. Loved your reaction to this so much I bought one for myself. I'm anticipating it's arrival. Thank you for sharing this!

[@theurbangentry]

Fantastic! You will be just a chuffed as I was. Thank you Matthew for sharing that. Please let me know how it goes, Best regards, TGV

[@MrMoxes]

It's really exciting to see your enthusiasm. After watching this, I am now torn between the Hamel you recently looked at and this. So many fun things, so hard to choose. Great job, nicely done. :-)

[@twotubefamily9323]

Thank you Urban G , so appreciate your review and demo , the Watch from dan henry is incredibly magnificent, really really wonderful piece . I'm really just starting out collecting watches , and the 1964 is my prize piece ...... Thank you sir and keep up the great work

[@dannyd5737]

Excellent intro. Congrats on the World Exclusive. Beautiful watches, love the smaller sizes. Great review. I guess that is an Aston Martin DB5 on the back, referencing 1964 the year of the cars release.

[@davidtanner242]

Great video again TGV, this has been added to the ever growing list. Applications for a second job are being posted tomorrow!

[@Watch2Wear]

Great review! You sold me! For the price, it really is the perfect vintage throwback chronograph for the small wrist individual.

[@TheCrabNebula1]

Wow wow wow, this is why I love your channel, not only is the contant great, but you always strive for improvement. Besides making an epic intro for your reviews, I now see that you also have improved your thumbnail (It looks way better without that mist that covers a third of the thumbnail). Well done sir, well done.

[@Mans1810]

OMG. I almost made my mind about Dan Henry mainly because of the size of the watches but this is everything I was expecting. A small vintage chronograph without the risks. TGV, you're a making the watch industry progress. Thx. And by the way you're are so lucky to hold all of them before choosing one. I wish I could because I have hard time choosing between the panda and the reverse.

[@josephsmith2777]

Thank you TGV for another great video which was packed full of valuable information. My wife and I want to buy our son a nice first watch for graduation and I think the 1964 Dan Henry would fit him perfectly. A beautiful watch that can be worn with any attire. God bless and thank you for all of your time spent on these awesome videos!! Keep them coming.

[@CaptainRambunctious]

That’s definitely a DB5 on the back sir. The quintessential GT car... also, released in 1964 and also the year it featured in Goldfinger... You should know that of course sir! 😉 Wonderful and mouthwatering review as always. TBH!

[@theurbangentry]

Faaaaantastic. Totally makes sense now!!! Thank god I kinda of half mentioned it least. Deffo keeping it now!!!! Thank you Captain, I hope all is well. Just out of interest, which is your fave dial colour? Best regards, TGV

[@twstrchasr]

The car on the caseback is an Aston Martin DB4 or a DB5. I wouldn't mind you doing a video on one of the Timex Waterbury chrono's or the MK1 chrono's. They look really nice for the price point.Excellent video as always TGV !!!

[@boutchmanz]

I'm sold on it!! Will clear out a watch to buy one of these. Thanks for the great review!

[@migueljohnson432]

Excellent, Thanks very much for introducing me to this Brand. I will definetly will check out.

[@socoblue1988]

Damn you, TGV...I'm trying to be frugal until the end of the year and you're making that extremely difficult with these fantastic timepiece reviews. Guess I'll add this to the wish list... *keep the great content coming!*

[@lanceuppercut7436]

Very cool watches, cracking intro once again TGV and for me, that’s definitely an Aston Martin DB5 ‘Bond car’ on the back of the watch. Well done Dan Henry👌🏻⏱

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Lance! :D Best regards, TGV

[@JeremiahHartmanPhotography]

Thank you for this..LOVE his work...I actually fell in love with the 1962!

[@BiffTannenBTTF]

Wow, Dan timed this release nicely. Worn and Wound and Gentry at the same time! Looks excellent btw

[@Tartanwallet]

Very excited by this range - and have ordered the silver no date! Thanks so much for the review TGV - I even had a personal response from Dan on my Instgram

[@davidgarcia-gonzalez8451]

Love the intro! Great work as always TGV!

[@you040]

Got my SARB033 last week, and I love it. The seller put in his review go to KZbin and watch TGV's review of the SARB033 to get a feel for it. At that second I knew this was my watch to get. Thank you for this amazing hobby TGV. Much love!

[@liamcotton3812]

Just rewatched this to build the hype for my 1964 slate grey date which should be arriving Wednesday. So excited!! Thanks for the great video TGV

[@Palowaski]

Wow another great release from DH - great review - really hope he keeps this going - great vid as always 🍻

[@miltonchan4458]

New to your channel, I very much enjoy your enthusiasm and enjoyment on the videos. You got me to learn about a lot of different and beautiful watches out there. I told myself no more watches because i can't take care of them, but you got me on this one. I'm torn between the Evil panda or gray, Keep up the good job

[@thewatchloungechris]

Great review, love the intro ! Had a 1968 Dan Henry sadly don't anymore, will get another Dan Henry one of these, great watches from as you mentioned a world renowned collector. P.S I'm wearing my newly acquired sinn104 right now :)

[@bradlyharvey1418]

Man, you’re just the best. If I could buy you a Seamaster I would. Just picked up a black INOX automatic. Your review of the Quartz sealed the deal. Love it-and love your channel.

[@ilmostro16]

Wow I bought the Panda immediately after watching this video!! Thanks TGV

[@koen8844]

Great review TGV 👍. It sure is an amazing design! It's very tempting to pick one up, but I'm almost ready to buy my first Omega so I have to stay focused for just a little while longer. Awesome intro by the way! Best intro's on KZbin 👍. Looking forward to the next video and enjoy your new Dan Henry. Regards, Koen

[@robertjschroff6307]

Hi TGV! Excellent racing intro! Great watches, marvellous shining review! :) I really wouldn't worry about that bracelet. A perfect style of bracelet for that sophisticated racing chronograph in my opinion. The clasp also a great one, Oris use similar one at some model of them. Nevertheless let's say, that I really appreciate the slightly bigger date. Too many companies do very small date windows and numbers recently. I really don't like that, even though that is very annoying, so again, for me the bigger date very refreshing and satisfying! Lovely watches indeed. :) Thanks for sharing, Kind regards, Robert

[@bfbsr]

Great review, as expected, and amazing watch, brilliantly sized at 38mm and improved value proposition when compared to the Baltic Panda Limited Edition. It seems Dan Henry, who despite being a vintage collector and connoisseur was making chunkier watches, is listening to experts and enthusiasts. The difficulty is choosing the dial color. I like the panda styles, the black dial with white sub-dials and that contrasting tachymetre scale, but now can't ignore TGV choice.

[@mikec3454]

Colour me impressed... I'm ordering one as we speak. I had seen "Dan Henry" mentioned on the forums but didn't know much about them. I've been wanting to add a chrono to my collection but they are always too big. I'm willing to give this a try for the money.

[@thechadofficial]

Great looking piece from Dan Henry. Always seems to be on his game when designing a new piece. This looks remarkably good! Quite the crowd pleaser i think with the strap and dial options. What a superb value for money!

[@willblake72]

I've been hoping for something like this since I sold my Straton Curve that was just too big for my wrist but had the same movement. This Dan Henry appears in your video to have a nicer build quality, too. Your review was a nice background soundtrack to my ordering of an all silver model. Can't wait to see this thing! And now I have to start shopping for 19mm straps and bands...

[@VTheGuerrilla]

The Apostle Of Horology with another excellent review!!! Bravo sir! I just ordered the black Panda!

[@allthestroke88]

That Panda on a Black strap is quite lovely. Keep up the fantastic work on all your reviews.

[@lonniechildress6661]

Your intros man!!! The absolute best!!!

[@ericjackson6501]

Just ordered my self the Evil panda version. Thanks for your all your videos. You’ve got me hooked on horology.

[@stratonwatchco]

Great Intro as usual! Congrats Dan on your new release!

[@curtisholm2622]

I was wearing the same polo today paired with my citizen elegance moonphase. Great video as always, TGV!

[@alpal360]

I was trying my best to keep a 6 month period before buying my next watch, but now I'm deciding between the reverse panda or slate grey dial on Dan Henry's website. You're a blessing and a curse TGV!

[@geralddorrington]

Great Video TGV, the intro was cracking ! How many new words can you make up in one video , lol. The watch looks great and a great size, seems like all the companies have realised that smaller watches are in demand. keeps the videos coming,

[@Johny350JJ]

i couldn’t help myself, just ordered evil panda, 38mm, reverse panda and especially beads of rice bracelet took my breath away. Great job Dan Henry, great job reviewing TGV ! i hope some day he make something like 1945 chronos. I know he has one but thats not it, i want something more like those universal geneve or chronographe suisse from that era, maybe even something more like TGVs britix, or like rolex 4113, yeah that rolex, goosebumps everytime i see picture of it... thats what i want and if he produces something like it, i am buying it for sure !

[@chrismoore6010]

I'm not a massive Chronograph fan, but these look nice and good value. Great review as always and fantastic intro. Literally rocks 🤙

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Chris :D Best regards, TGV

[@5265vic]

What a smokin' intro .I'll buy one of these, Thanks lil' buddy for all the work

[@sheriff7172]

love the intro, it sounds like some kind of monster but actually good

[@SpencerCookertin]

Thank you for making an excellent video, I am certainly going to buy one and mention you or buy it through your recommendation. Keep making these amazing reviews, I love your attention to detail and relaxed approach. Cheers!

[@tredici72]

Fantastic Premiere TGV! Another big fan here of Dan Henry watches, I bought the 1963 pilot chronograph (Black Bezel) after watching one of your videos a few months back and was hugely impressed. You'd be hard pressed to find a well designed and finished timepiece for the price, the backplate in itself is a work of art. These Gran Turismo's, especially the full silver version look just as good Super review mate⌚😀👍

[@jackdillon4467]

Just got my 1964 and I love it!! Thank you Tristano!

[@mrxcman9272]

I'm always blown away by your intros.

[@SkateRastaMs]

I'm into audio and have what people call "audiophile equipment", the sound quality of the intro was on point! Props for the attention to detail!

[@SFCB1954]

I know Dan and what makes his watches great, apart from the cost benefit factor, is that he is a perfectionist and his attention to detail is second to none. I added the reverse Panda to my collection and I am sure it will not make a bad figure next to my Rolex 6263. The leather straps are fantastic and I have been pushing Dan to make them available in his site.

[@temporaljoy5939]

Just bought mine! Thanks for the review!

[@LuckyJack99]

Brilliant review on a refreshing new offering ! Kudos !

[@dangerspouse4741]

On the strength of your reviews I've really become sold on the Dan Henry marque. (Speaking of marques, I believe the car on the watch back is intended to be an Aston Martin DB4 or 5, both of which would be period correct...although he put the gas cap on the wrong side ;) ). I think it's just fantastic that someone is offering watches in this price range that exhibit so much design and production care. Fantastic job again, thanks for the terrific work!

[@amodiogiordano4516]

Great video my friend! I want the silver one. I too really want an Omega 321, but not for that money. This hits all the sweet spots. You should tell Dan to make REAL blued hands an upcharge as well as a sapphire or acrylic crystal.

[@vorticwatchcompany]

Quite the collection and exclusive! Very well done on all aspects!

[@sggjose]

First of all, thanks for all of your hard work. Been a fan of the channel only a few months, but I do like your approach. Obviously many others to watch (no pun intended) on youtube. In that same time my "collection" has gone from 0 to 7 watches! This video was great. I had never heard of Dan Henry, his story, nor his watches. I've jumped head first into his website, and wow! I'm seriously considering the 1970 Automatic Diver in orange. I've been looking for a more casual... and yes, more shouty watch, while keeping it classy. I think that model nails it. I'd love to see it pop up in one of your reviews. My wrist is 7.5 in, so the 44 mm fits nicely. I know if I do see it in your channel, it'll be the 40 mm. Still good! Just want to have a better idea on how it wears. Thanks, again!!

[@deetimeloveshow]

Very impressive, love the size and aesthetics of these watches, nice vid TGV, best wishes Dee

[@AFCAWorldBodybuildingArchive]

Yesterday I actually received my *Poljot “Columbus“ 3133* mechanical chronograph and fell in love ever since

[@barryisland3349]

Thanks for introducing me to the brand and being 38-39mm for me it's the sweet spot...👍👍

[@shawnchinnery663]

I Bought the DH 1970, my 1st micro brand....great watch and really good value. These look lovely, cheers mate

[@theurbangentry]

Shawn! Great to hear from you sir, it has been a while since I saw that unforgettable angry cat. Always a pleasure my friend, I hope this finds you well and your 1970 in good health. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@estebanortegatippins7849]

Exciting intro,and difficult to choose which one,there all really nice.

[@RevLev06]

I am not a chronograph watch fan - not my first or even second choice in a watch. But these are beautiful watch dials, and at this price it is enough to change my mind.

[@RogerMillerInVA]

Thank you, dear friend ... I’ll soon be wearing the slate grey beauty myself!

[@JJexciter]

Oooohh...this is good. Very, very good. I couldn’t be more excited for a watch. I’ve been searching feverishly for an excellent new chronograph, but every thing I find is over-sized and over-priced. Everyone of those dials are simply exquisite and the size is simply perfect. Looking forward to getting one... Thanks for an AWESOME video, TGV.

[@theurbangentry]

Chuffed to hear, thank you Alexander. Please let me know which one you decide, I am still so conflicted myself! :D Good luck sir, Best regards, TGV

[@JJexciter]

Funny how that’s now that struggle, huh? Trying to decide which one. Each are beautifully unique in their own right. I will say, at this moment, I am leaning toward the all-silver version. And while the band is lovely, I would swap it out for a high quality leather Rally racing band. I think that would look amazing. The size of the watch is also what I am so thrilled about. For once there’s a watch that I love the style and is perfect for my wrist size. You’re always introducing me to watches I want...you’re killing me, TGV! Haha Cheers BTW, I surely wish the Todd Snyder Timex Marlin re-issue was an automatic. :(

[@jamesvaughan6422]

Just received my Casio (reference B650WD-1ACF) in the mail about an hour ago! A lot of watch and vintage styling for only $25. What a banger this one is! I tried to save for an SKX, but I just could not pass up this watch again. Might pick up a Timex x Tom Snyder here pretty soon! Thank you for all you do TGV. Much praise from Texas, -James

[@theurbangentry]

Cracking choice!!! OMG, I love it. I might have to get the black version. Thank you for sharing that. Enjoy it and you can always get thew SKX later. Great to hear from Gentry in Texas, I will be visiting soon! Best regards, TGV

[@oliverarado]

I haven’t purchased a DH yet, however, I was impressed with the quick responses Dan had to my inquiries
