Watch Collection Talk 3: A Perfect "Do It All" Collection Under $1000

After many requests following my video on building a perfect 3 piece watch collection for under $500, today we cover the same topic, but for under $1000. To make this extra special and fun, we are joined by Marc from Long Island Watch, an expert with extensive watch industry insider knowledge, and a friend of the Urban Gentry channel.
In this episode we pick our top choices from Hamilton, Seiko, Orient, Lorier, Laco and many more, as we put together the best selection we can for the money. We also chat about watch trends, what we love about these watches, what we dislike, what is needed to complete a collection, our own collecting habits, recent acquisitions, and an initial reaction to the new 2020 Rolex releases. So, get your favorite beverage ready, get comfy, and join us for a laidback chat about all things watches.

Mark has a true humility about him that makes me want to buy his watches and it is a treat to see you guys again together on a video. Friendship is one of the keys to a happy life. And a nice watch or two never hurts as well. Take care and stay well. The world needs good-hearted people in all walks of life. --Michael

[@theurbangentry]

I could not agree more, he is a real stand up guy. It's no wonder I have known him for so long since the very early days of this channel. Thank you Michael, you are a real gent, you comment speaks volumes about you. Heres to more good hearted people! Best regards, TGV

The great thing about Seiko is that they managed to produce cool watches beyond the 1970s. Only Omega with the Seamaster 300m in the 1990s can claim anything new. Just around the time Seiko comes out with the modern Alpinist. And then in the 2000s they came out with the SARB line, which I personally think is peak Seiko. Beyond its time, shame they were never sold in the West.

[@britannia2129]

Before watching- I’d choose Orient blue ray, Tissot PR100 automatic, Dan Henry 1962 and a g shock of some kind. I am a little biased- I do own two of them!

Maybe this will sound stupid but I was interested to know what 3 watches would you choose with a infinite budget. I guess that if you can only pick 3 between all of them that's hard.

I have never been disappointed ever since. Thank you!

[@Sirgromulus]

Great and informative discussion. I will play along and list my $1,000 list : (Coincidentally, all available from Long Island Watch) 1. Seiko SARB-035: $350 (at least when I purchased several years ago!) 2. Orient Bambino: $160 (specifically 2nd gen cream dial/blue hands) 3. Islander Diver : $300 (take your pick!) 4. Islander ISL-054 "Sinn 556A/Rolex Explorer type": $200 (my newest and one of my favorites) If I could up the budget a bit I would have to add a Casio G-Shock, specifically model GWM5610-1 solar powered quartz: $130 ( a great and dependable "beater" watch).

[@andersonbowes7065]

This needs to be a regular occurrence. TGV + Mark + TGV's laugh = pure class. Also, this opened my mind to Laco, I'm sold.

It is so, so good to see two guys, who clearly admire and respect each other, just chat about what they are passionate about. “Chapeau” to both of you! As it happens, with the current world events, I am looking to down-size my current hoard/collection and really appreciate both your views on a smaller collection. Much advice taken!

I just wanted to say that Marc has been handling a warranty issue with a watch I bought from him and he has absolutely been going above and beyond to help me out. Great guy who really cares about his customers.

[@ExpeditedProductions]

Gentlemen! Most excellent video and collaboration! As promised, here is a decent comment now that I am out of the jet! Love your picks for the collection, and how you tried to provide some standards for a 3-5 watch collection. I have already far surpassed that, but if I had to narrow it down, it would be easy. I have very similar recommendations. Here are two sets of three watch collections sub $1000. First set 1. Bernhardt Binnacle Anchor - Sports/Sports dress - $290 2. Seiko Flightmaster or Citizen Skyhawks or Navihawk ( have all of them ...love all of them)- ~$295 3. Orient Bambino - ~$250 Total $835....I’ll buy lunch Second set This will probably be hotly contested 1. Steinhart Ocean One (pick your pleasure on model)...yes they are homages....what watch isn’t...they are FANTASTIC pieces with excellent customer service and reliability and amazing prices for what you get..... can serve as sports/ dress casual/ and diver- ~$500 2. Casio G-shock DW-5600 - $65.00 3. Seiko Presage Cocktail Time $338 Total....$903.....I’ll buy drinks Last one for good measure 1. Tissot PR100 $550 2. Islander (pick your pleasure) 300 3. Vostok Amphibia $75. - why not they are fun Total- $925....Marc buys drinks !) Onward and upward, all!

Been watching for years... Almost bought a watch from tgv a few years back and he was exactly like you see him here... Thorough and honest... Mark is always a straight shooter too... To see them mostly unedited is a joy because that's what we really relate to! Keep it up guys!

[@ianphiliphodge]

Some days are just good. Got back to Baltimore early and the boss said just park the truck. No need to unload. So how will I spend this free time before picking up my daughter? Wait. What ? TGV and Marc kicking it, just talking watches? Excellent . I started collecting watches a few years ago rather haphazardly (pre- KZbin). TGV's reviews and absolute classiness have influenced my preferences. Mark's Watch and Learns are great. I'm a blue collar guy so most of my watches have tended to be a hundred bucks or so. When I bought a Bulova lunar pilot, I was like whoa this is starting to get serious. and I'll definitely buy from him . These guys are great.

[@reddragonn64]

I have a cheap little Skagen that I love with a 14mm band, maybe not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s sharp and I don’t worry about it. Could not find a strap, and when I did it was almost $50! So I had my friend who’s a leather worker make me one, she’s reusing the buckle and tang and let me pick the leather. I’m so thrilled and can’t wait to get it and put it on my little everyday watch.

[@bmjengland4966]

Great discussion guys!! Always a good duo .. Almost felt like I was there.. could listen to you guys talk Watches all night!! Some strong little contenders amongst the choices..

[@christianlarose3635]

Thank you guys - this was a pure joy. Wearing my Orient Star Seeker (white dial) that my wife got for me for my 40th birthday four years ago from... Long Island Watch! Thank you Mark for everything you do. I've got my eye on a 42mm B-Uhr from Laco, for all the reasons you stated (black dial for me). TGV, give yourself another pat on the back. Your interviewing style is so excellent and laid-back, and you don't get credit for your production, which has always been A+. (As an aside , why am I wearing a GMT? I'm not going anywhere...) Currently waiting for my Citizen Sailhawk to land, so there's something to think about - Yacht Timers! Personally I HAAATE things like the Frédérique Constant or TNG mechanicals (because I actually race sailboats) so re-synching on a gun is quasi-impossible unless you have a quartz - My go-to was a Casio yacht timer (early 90's) which would let me recalibrate on the next minute of the sequence but the gasket's gone and I had to epoxy the bezel back on so it's retired (389 AW-300 - genius watch!). Now that I think of it, coordinate discussion of yacht timers with 2021 America's Cup - those boats are insane, so it'll keep, but I'd love your take because they are such a cool niche. Thanks again guys! Stay safe!

I know the trend is toward smaller watches, but please don't forget us older guys who have a little disposable income now that the kids are off our hands, whose eyesight is not what it once was, and who have put on a few pounds - we still love and want the "bigger"watches!

If you want a challenge - 2 or 3 piece collection for 100$. I can do one for 100€: Starking AM0184 (Chinese dresswatch - controversial I guess) - 40€ Vostok Komandirskie manual-wind (quirky Russian field watch - maybe one with a more subtle dial) - 35€ Casio World Time (aka Casio Royale - quite well known digital sports watch) - 20€

[@earthenjadis8199]

For a great GADA (go anywhere, do anything) watch that costs $595 dollars, I heartily recommend a KNOT Watch AT-38SVBK. Fully made in Japan, sapphire crystal, zaratsu polished case, 50M water resist, Miyota 9015 movement and 38mm. If you love the SARB033, this is basically in the same spirit.

Hi TGV An Urban Gentry video just before bedtime here in Denmark - perfect😆 Mark and you make very good and cozy videos together, more of that👍 When it comes to strap sizes...uneven sizes are a pain, and I wouldn’t mention where. Sometimes even to a crazy degree. I’ve got a fine old Wilson watch which I’m planning to give to a friend as a gift. It’s vintage, 36 mm - with a 21 mm strap. I mean, what’s the point? There’s not even an understandable idea with it from a design point of view as far as I can see... Well, I finally sourced a suitable strap for it... Keep up the good work👍

[@theurbangentry]

My choices for this topic: - Steinhart Ocean One Ceramic - Seagull 1963 (with the cream dial) - Islander Automatic Field Watch - Orient Bambino 2 gen, version 3 (with the gray dial, beautiful!) I’m probably a little over the $1K limit, but close enough. Honorable mention to the Vostok Komandirskie which I wear when I’m in Brazil (or other locations) where I don’t want to wear something I’d be super bummed to lose, though to be honest, if I did lose I’d be pretty bummed. It’s just a cool, inexpensive, solid piece of Russia that keeps surprisingly good time.

Casio G-Shock GW-M5610-1BJF - $186 (sports, combat) Casio Oceanus OCW-S100-1AFJ - $495 (travel, dress, work, daily) Islander ISL-02 - $299 (boating, swimming, diving) Total: $980 I used to travel across time zones a lot and the way things are looking now I'll probably be going back and doing more of that. The Oceanus makes setting for a new zone a snap while keeping up-to-the-second with the atomic clock. I keep the G-Shock and an Islander in my go bag with the Oceanus being the daily driver. I figure if solar flares or EMPs wipe out the quartz I have then at least the Islander will still be working. The entire Oceanus line from Casio is hugely underrated and not very well known outside Japan since it's a JDM-only line. The specs alone on the S100 make it stomp on pretty much all other quartz analog dial watches that aren't serious HAQ movements. Honorable Mention 1: Manchester Watch Works Rattler Field Watch ($300, no longer produced). The Rattler was lightning in a bottle for a modern field watch and if you can find one, get it. Honorable Mention 2: Casio Ediface EFR-S107D-1AVCR - used to be only $56 until KZbinrs drove the price up to $100. Super thin watch good for everything.

[@dannyrbailey]

I’ve owned the flighty for a year now, the domed hardlex is gorgeous! It’s quartz movement doesn’t miss a beat and I set all my watches to it. Never had to reset its time except when changing for daylight savings. I am a bracelet guy and the bracelet is a bit of a let down with only a few micro adjustments and the hollow polished middle links. For the price it’s crazy. Bought mine for under 190. I am selling it and I will miss it but I’m glad to have owned one and can’t wait to see what I decide on next!

A watch I ran across yesterday evening was from Hanhart Watches, their Pioneer One series. Absolutely beautiful watches (including their other series as well). Would love to see a review of them. Loved this episode. I just received my first watch from Island Watch last week, an Orient Helios with the blue dial. Automatic, sapphire crystal, stainless bracelet. It's a great nomination for a dress watch at a very affordable price ($209). I took it to a nearby jeweler that only handles Tissot and Omega watches. The jeweler commented several times what a lovely watch it was and asked about the brand. I'm now trying to decide between a Hamilton Khaki and a Lacos flieger for a daily watch so was glad to hear those two make your lists.

Great video TGV, and I'm already looking forward to your next collaberation. One thing I think is awesome with Marc, is that even though he's a dealer he comes off more as a presenter of new watches that are available. And he also can be critical on some detail of his own products. AND then he also has his incredible helpful Watch and Learn series from quite some years back now, which is of course totally not promoting anything, but just sharing knowledge. Hearing how a mechanical movement works from an engineer's point of view is damn interesting. Great personality as well.
