War Room Update: Watch Collecting, G-Shock, Movies & Desk Accessories

Today we return to a Gentry favorite as I share some new pick ups for my war room, including some G-Shock goodies, new luxury leather desk accessories from Carl Friedrik, and some classic, must-see movies from John Woo and Takashi Miike. I also debut an exciting new strap from Wrist Candy Watch Club.
As always, in true Gentry fashion, we conclude with some watch collection chat as I contemplate my next watch purchases including G-Shock, Breitling, and Grand Seiko. I also discuss the main cause of my watch seller’s remorse when it comes to collecting timepieces.

I'm really enjoying the videos getting back to a real Gentry feel.

[@elijahsimpson323]

Same, I love seeing the old style back.

Me as well. The "old school Gentry" was what brought me to the dance 5 years ago. Incidentally, I've never left. :)

[@stevecross1725]

Wat can I say..enjoying your videos as always, especially “the war room”,”edc”.... takes me back to the old GENTRY. “Ever consider movie director or film editing?” You would be great at it.. keep them coming TGV..until next time, be safe and shout out to your wife.

This is a TGV i've fallen in love with years ago, I'm so glad he's back, I know this will sound stupid but it makes me feel 4 years younger, remainds me of all the good times that were happening to me back then, time when Imstarted collecting watches and bought my first mechanical watch. Thank you TGV

[@jharez9168]

TGV, I FINALLY bought my first luxury watch. I got a brand new Rolex OP 36 black sunburst dial. It is marvelous and have been completely chuffed to bits! Thank you for all your content to help me narrow down this new found love of mine. The 3 6 and 9 double bars is truly unique and it gives this watch the subtle bling that separates it from anything else. Yours truly, Josh

[@ois-jy9kl]

I'm a gal and bougth a G-shock in rose gold "color" last year.... my watch for this year ( My one per year rule ) will be a citizen sailhawk. I have been passionate about sailing all my life and the deeper I dig and study the watch the more I find it facinating...

After 12 years, I finally completed my business degree and as a treat, I bought a watch you featured not too long ago. Bought the Hamilton Khaki. Thanks for the recommendation and glad to see you're both safe and sound and still making videos.

[@AirbusWHU]

Another old school Gentry video, loving the War Room!

[@thenotanclan]

Having watched the channel for a couple of years I was inspired to sell on my fashion watches and began a gradual journey of upgrading to affordable iconic watches like my Seiko Flightmaster, Seiko million dollar $100 dress watch, Orient Bambino, Citizen Nighthawk, Timex Marlin, Casio F91W and of course, Hamilton Khaki Mechanical - waaaay more pleasure from these watches than all my fashion watches combined and it’s thanks to channels like this that spread the message :)

[@toolongforyoutoread6]

This pandemic has really changed my POV on watches. I really can't focus on frivolities now and as a medical worker my tastes have tended toward practicality. Right now I'm only wearing my Casio F-91 or my SKX, depending on whether I'm in a quarantined zone or not.

[@jimmccaig7946]

I'd say SKX013 (if you don't own one already that is).

[@justinlarsen2281]

For years I use to say G Shocks are the axe body spray of watches. This channel completely changed my mind and now I'm a collector.

[@IRON_NIC]

My collection is: -Dan Henry 1962, "Evil panda" -Bulova Accutron, full gold, from 1965. it was my great grandfather's watch. Further plans which got postponed by quarantine: Bring the Bulova back to perfectly running conditions

[@badassmanale]

Love the strap! One of my childhood friends fought in El Alamein, he was one of the kindest, gentlest people I have ever known. He would teach me, a 9 year old kid, about the war in exchange for a little help in his garden. Therefore, the name is very close to my heart, hopefully I'll be able to pick one up

[@th3sundaydriver66]

Fantastic to see a copy of Darkplace in the background! Poss one of the best comedic rollercoasters ever!

[@henrycharles2489]

I love the mouse rug! As someone who has a large collection of Persian rugs, I’ll have to pick one up

[@anthonysmithyman372]

I've purged recently, sold my Stowa Classic, Zelos diver, Glycine Combat, Laco Flieger and a Casio Mudman, I'm now down to 4 watches...a 2000 42mm Speedy 3570.50, a Sarb017 and 2 basic Casio beaters, sometimes a purge is a must!! Keep up the good work TGV, long live the Gentry!!

[@michaelsaia54]

Currently holding still, trying to enjoy the watches I own. It’s easy to look past what you own and get greedy for what you don’t have. But possibly a good middle ground will be buying some TGV inspired wrist candy natos!

[@desertoctane6444]

All I do is invite friends over ,smoke cigars, sip Cognac and play your videos online. I don't even need a pianist playing lounge jazz in the background because you ALREADY HAVE IT! Cheers for the UG!

Hi TGV. I really enjoyed the latest War Room video. I’d love to have my own and maybe one day I will but right now I’m months into major home renovations which has redirected my purchasing priorities. I’ve said this before, but here it is again, I’m really enjoying your videos of late. OG at its finest in my opinion. They keep reinforcing the importance of maintaining the fun factor for me and I’m grateful to you for that. Keep on reminding me to enjoy life and all the fun things about it. Thanks brother. You’re inspiring🙏🏻👍🏻. O & U to your good self and the fellow Gentry.

[@stevetravers9522]

I've actually started selling some of my watches to consolidate. I've been planning on getting a Hamilton for a while now. But I just never felt like I should buy it I had too many watches. But I have been enjoying selling surprisingly. I hope people wear them in good health.

[@RS-Rasmus]

My watch collection has gone over quite an change during these last few months. A few months ago I started to get into the used and second hand market by getting a few watches from an online auction site. Key takeaways from that: Know exactly what you want, make all the possible research that you can, make much more and then maybe put out an offer. And also take into the price the cost to have it cleaned and repaired. I have made a few errors but learned my ways. I have also sold off a few watches myself on the same site. Mostly because I felt it was watches that just didn't get any wrist time and they really deserved it. My collection now is one that I am quite happy with, I got 6 or 7 that I rotate during a week along with a few Casios and Timex watches that I keep but tool watches and because I love collecting them.

[@bigalexg]

The intro was hilarious! You have a real talent for comedy. Love the channel and your humble and gracious self.

[@KevW03]

Great to see you are doing well TGV. Great video too! All the best!

[@stuntmanmike37]

Recently acquired a 1970 Bulova Accutron 218-2 that I wear on a Speidel Mach 1 Twist-O-Flex bracelet. Thanks for turning me on to this classic piece of horology! I also acquired, last fall, a 2012 model Geochron. I highly recommend one for your war room!

[@braydenweaver3937]

I like your mentality around collecting watches. I've started to realize that you have to handle watches in the flesh to really appreciate what you like. Thanks for the insights

[@ImGhilly]

Brilliant video again! I used to buy designer-brand watches like Armani. For the past year however I started to get into the established brands and watching your video's and they really broadened my horizon. I'm a student so my budget is limited but I'm loving my Timex and Casio right now! Planning to get a classier Seiko 5 soon for graduating! Though my collection is at 14 right now, my taste keeps evolving. Keep up the entertaining and informative video's! Love from The Netherlands

[@stephen3360]

Cool, I feel like people who buy designer watches have an inner watch obsession dying to come out but they don’t know enough about watches for it to find its way out. TGV’s channel really helps people’s inner watch obsession come out and express itself for real

Yes that would be fun. Heat is in my top 5.

[@ryanhebda2542]

I purchased both a UGWC tshirt and the new wrist candy NATO, quite excited for both to arrive. My father passed a little over a month ago; he knew what a watch enthusiast I was and he left me his Rolex Submariner 5513 that he got shortly after I was born. I had it reconditioned (no polishing) and have been wearing it proudly ever since.

[@michaelriera6277]

Thanks for bringing us along the tour of the War Room. Very fun video!

[@xdmc005]

Since the start of the pandemic and all the isolation and closures, I've been wearing my SKX-007 almost all the time. I even stopped switching into my "work watches" (nothing crazy, just a Sinn 104 and a Jazzmaster Auto Chrono - but I enjoy them!). The SKX is reliable, durable, and easy to read at a glance - lume is fantastic. The day-date complication is incredibly practical, too. No matter what the day throws my way, I know I'll never have to worry about my watch. If I am ever parted from it and need to leave in a hurry, I do have a "go bag" in the closet by the door (since you brought those up), with another SXK-007 tucked safely inside. Purchasing goal the second half of this year is pretty basic. Who doesn't enjoy lusting after high-end pieces and appreciating the crafstmanship and legacy behind them, but a Seamaster is a more likely purchase for me before the end of 2020.

[@chunkyseller5402]

I really enjoy watching your videos, this one in particular. Especially towards the end when you talk about the cyclical nature of buying and selling things that you may regret later. I have this syndrome 10x I’m always buying and selling then re-buying. I am 22 years old so I know there’s time to buy things back but I just wanted to say how much I resonated with that statement. And yes there are plenty of us out there like this.

[@kendalltull9854]

I have been going more into micros on one hand while consolidating on the other. I've picked up a Ming 17.06 Copper and Kurono Mori by Hajime Asaoka which I consider as real milestone additions. I also traded in several watches to pick up a Nomos Tangente and the Aqua Terra Worldtimer which were goals for me. Future plans revolve around unique materials for dial like abalone and carbon and other gemstones. That will be complimented by going after other grails over a longer period. I feel a lot clearer about what attributes I like in watches and my ethos has changed completely. I've also become quite a strap addict - again focusing on exotic leathers. Really enjoy how they change the look and feel of my watches. My wife is also now interested in the hobby so I now look for pieces we can both wear as part of my focus. All in all, the last year has been a really interesting and enjoyable one in terms of my collection. Looking forward to future.

[@bushwood1676]

Your War Room looks very cozy I use to like the old one but this looks like a good place to be.

Just bought my son his first proper watch for finishing primary school Got him a tactical looking baby g shock...it looks great on his wrist. Spent some time with him in Edinburgh on Saturday looking at Omega, Rolex, Grand Seikos etc. I think I've started his watch obsession.. BTW, Think I need a g shock as well...

[@AFCAWorldBodybuildingArchive]

I highly regret having flipped the SNK809. Even though it barely got any wrist time. It was my rush to reduce the collection down to a two-pieces-collection. But now I understand you, sometimes you fancy that one little watch or this one. In fact I want to increase my collection BUT only with ultra unique watches. I found a little hi-beat vintage seiko. Square, empty black glossy dial, 32mm. A perfect restaurant dinner watch. 💪😍

[@rjsenn4142]

Enjoyed the update! I can see you selling watches/bands/watch products. You definitely have the background and are a natural salesman!

[@Etienne938]

I like your new videos. The diverse material is always interesting. My collection has changed a bit this year. I purchased a 1967 Benrus field watch like yours. Most recently, I took a big leap and acquired a 1993 36mm Tudor Submariner in a blue dial. I absolutely love it. Your review from a while back helped me make an educated purchase. Now I'm off to buy a TGV mug. Cheers!

[@jacobklein2361]

Glad to see a return to some of the old Urban Gentry video themes. Still looking forward to that art collection video. Just bought a Longines Hydroconquest L3.742.4.56.6. What a great watch for the price - Ceramic bezel, automatic Swiss dive watch for under $2000. Plus the blue dial catches light beautifully. I think you would really get a kick out of it.

[@michaelfierman3256]

Hey I'm late to this party, but what fun! I love seeing people's books and I'd watch your camera linger across your bookshelves for a while actually. When you were talking about your Navitimer and the regret in having sold the blue one I had the thought that perhaps it IS a good thing not to just have the funds to buy any and every watch that catches our eye. Yes, who doesn't want all the money one can have, yet in our hobby I do like the focus having a limited amount to spend. I think it makes you do more research, enjoy the feeling of the hunt and, in the end maybe feeling a bit more rewarded by our choices...even the ones we later change our mind on. Speaking of that I have just bought the Yema Flygraf Pilot M1 for myself and myn family got together to buy my brother the Yema SupermanHeritage for his birthday. All thanks to you for bringing the brand to my attention,. Cheers man.

TVG great video. I"m new into collecting. G-Shock, Seagull 1963, Seiko SNK809, Vostock Submariner and my big watch (to me) is my Citizen's Eco-Drive E870 Perpetual Calendar. And all this started because someone gave me a Brietling knockoff and it sparked my interest in automatic watches. Federico had a good video on not buying too many $200 watches because you will have a bunch of watches you can't sell to buy the grail watch you will one day desire. I agree so no more cheap watches. Now I"m lusting after an automatic that has a power reserve complication. Thanks for your great video's they help in this trying time.

Thanks to you for giving me this new passion TGV since a few years ;) My collection will expand may be with a Fortis Cosmonaut (lemania), a Grand Seiko GMT 9F (SNBG005), a DayJust II 126234, a Doxa SUB 300T... and why not some vintage ones too (Omega Constellation pan, Universal Geneve Polerouter, cartier Tank).

[@DrowSorcerer]

I put the hobby on ice to study abroad. Still, I brought my favorite ones with me and haven't gotten too many cravings for now. Also I noticed once I took some distance from the collection that I don't really needed some of them so I sold most of them and and now only have 6: a Hamilton, a Seiko, a Citizen, a Skagen, a Casio and a Kisai. My omega went as a graduation gift for my brother and in all honesty, that has given me much more happiness than wearing it myself, so I'm happy with the decision.

[@LeShark75]

On the Subject of G-Shock TGV, I'm wearing the new GWF-A1000-1A2ER Analog Frogman here. I've had it a few days now and its beautiful. I'll probably do a video on it soon buddy. Stay safe and thanks for another great upload.

Cool stuff TGV. The war room is looking great 👌. The last couple of months I've been "blessed" with some work/maintenance around the house wich ate quite a bit of my savings. Therefore a Casio GA-2100 and a new fidgety pocket knife had to do. So far I have no regrets and with a little bit of patience I'll be back in to more serious watch collecting. Looking forward to the next one. Regards, Koen

Hello TGV. I love your style and taste. Very inspirational. I am very curious about your editing portfolio. Would you consider taking a trip down memory lane and letting us see what you have done in the past? Thank you. Keep it up. All the best.

[@peakrider4886]

Great to see you well TGV. We don’t get to see much USA news here in the UK, but the crisis has hit us hard and I can imagine it’s probably worse over there. I recently got the new Lorier Neptune that was released in May. I’ve loved this watch ever since you reviewed the first version so it has been amazing to finally get one and I think the Series 3 is probably Lauren and Lorenzo’s best yet. So a massive thanks to you for switching me onto this brand. Keep safe and see you soon!

Fantastic strap design. Instant classic!

Congratulations on the great NATO straps! Definitely a must have! Special kudos to you for paying tribute to the brave soldiers who fought in El Alamein. I am italian and, alas, Italy was clearly on the wrong side of the battlefield there, no question about it. The Italian soldiers received the honour of arms for that battle: I like to think the memory of the soldiers who fight with courage and honour should be cherished and respected, in the hope that the same values can inspire our lives in times of peace. Army General Paolo Caccia Dominioni devoted his life to preserving the memory of those who perished on the battlefield, and he designed and built the Italian memorial and mausoleum.
