I have been away on some business but have now caught up on the last few vids. Hope you are well my friend.
Ha tgv I have come to the final decision on a watch purchase which will be my only one for the whole of next year and it’s completely neck and neck with the Tudor black bay dark and seamaster 300 reissue they are both beautiful time pieces but there can be one sadly and I just cannot make up my mind
Navi is my #1 😉
For me at least MOTFM will always be the number one. 😛
Nice video. Surprising no. 1 result! I agree the Semester is a classic, but no.1!!! My guess would have been Submariner at 1st spot, and the Speedmaster at the 2nd spot. And I think the Carrera should make the top 20
Well done fratello.
Hi TGV, is there any reason I am unable to join the Facebook horological group? I tried several times now and after initially showing “Pending” it shows “Join Group” again after some time. Am I getting deleted by the administrators maybe? Thanks!
No love for the Nautilus? Or Royal Oak?
what about TISSOT???
*My Vote: The Classic Rolex Submariner (Your friends in Bangor, Maine)
could you please do your videos shorter ?
Good vid…really enjoyed it ..thanks.
becasue of you…..now im going to get that seamaster 300 🙂
Very nice and informative countdown …. love this video …… what do you think about the Breitling chronomatic A41360 ? ….. because I really love that watch, but it seems that not much of reviews about that particular model ( is it because that model only produced during 2006-2008 and discontinued ? )
I haven’t owned a high end watch, yet! But I think number one was the correct choice.
Your wrist watch check in this episode is your favorite watch of mine, that blue is just captivating.
What’s this Rolex Day Date looking watch on your desk? New aqcuisition?
Enjoy your videos and passion for watch collecting.
Love this!
But i always wish you do a review on my tissot le loche 🙂
Wish you’d review a 38mm Omega Planet Ocean.
Hey TGV,
ever heard about Tutima?
I just uploaded a review.
I would love to see you criticize my first video =)
Greetings from Germany, keep up the good work!
When you said the date just quartz years ago was affordable and no one wanted it. What watch would you say is viewed the same today?
Excellent as always. Thanks TGV
There are several sizes in the reverso line
Ha, the Seamaster was also my first “nice, luxury, swiss watch”. But it’s not the bond version. It’s the electric blue, sword hands.
Excellent video T. Re the Monaco just finished watching a special on McQueen and the LeMans movie; in it his son and driver Derek Bell were both wearing blacked dialed Monacos; however McQueen was a Subby fan. My favorite watch here though has to be the El Primero; rarely seen even in the mean streets of NYC…Zenith is pure class!
This list almost looks like the top watch list in chrono24
Quite surprised at the way top 10 lined up, it’s tricky with regards to what can come in at 5k these days new or used though!
hi man I am a big fan of your work for a long time. could u please suggest me the best rose gold dial watches under 4000 usd and some in 1500 usd
Great video, Tristano! Lots to think about and absorb. In my life I’ve been fortunate to own a couple of these great watches: the Rolex no-date Submariner and the Omega Speedmaster Professional moon watch (ref. 145.002-69ST) which I purchased new in 1973. Only eighteen more to go ……
good choices! i was expecting the submariner to be the no.1… keep the good work TGV! cheers!!!
Zenith El Primero Chronomaster deserve to be in the top 10, especially the 1969!
Tgv I’m getting my first signet ring on Friday. Would you recommend hand or machine engraving on it? Thanks a lot and love the videos!!
Chris
Very well said TGV on what makes you smile with your Squale 1521 Azul blue which I also own. But right now one that has been taking all the wrist time is my Doxa Sub 1200t Profesional (orange dial goodness) When I put it on my wrist my mood immediately changes. It’s a priceless feeling to own a piece that strikes that sort of chord with you as a collector. It’s definitely an ICON!! interesting fact. Rolex and Doxa worked on the helium release valve as seen on the Sea dweller TOGETHER. Rolex had the funds immediately to apply for the patent so their name is on the patent for the helium release valve. That being said Rolex as a thank you for working together to develop the technology gave Doxa rights to use the same design that can be seen on vintage Doxa Subs as well as my modern 1200t Professional I wear on my wrist as I type this comment. Cheers.
Imagine if Steve McQueen had worn a Casio F91W. I wouldn’t be the laughing stock of the watch world.
Just realised.. No GMT Master II ?? Wow !
Please do a video all about the Monaco
Hi tgv great vid, so the Bond pips every one to the post interesting, so many great pieces in that line up it was simply a pleasure to watch, so thank you tgv your friend Ryan, ONWARDS AND UPWARDS.
My wife said Im not allowed to watch your channel any more hahaha
Damn TGV. You know all these French/German words so well, and you botch Le Mans. Oh well. Great video once again!
Where can you get a navitimer for under 5k? Let me know so I can give them my money
Le Mans is prounced ‘le Mon’ TGV…;-)
