TGV, I first started watching your content when I was in high school and I just finished my university - I can’t believe it’s been that long. Thank you for the years of content and showing us the ways of gentlemen
OMG, that is awesome, well done my friend! Thank you for sharing that, I am super proud to have you in the Gentry, congrats on finishing Uni. Onwards and ever upwards!
Good luck on all your future endeavors.
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry Could you please review a vostok amphibia
@@theurbangentry That's really nice. Just imagine going to the pub and hanging out with all the people hear in the comments.
Lets all just take a minute to appreciate how bad ass the Urban Gentry theme tune is
To think this is the "generic" intro!
@@mightbesherwood1313 Explain
Stranger Things discotheque
I legit love this idea. Let’s be honest the functionality of a digital watch is superior to a classic watch, but the aesthetics and tradition of a classic watch is hard to pass up. Aesthetics matter and attempts to smash the two into one watch don’t usually turn out so well (although I do miss the old ana digis). It’s a slick idea.
Unless it is a japanese diver
Get a seiko arnie most hate it but its 100!
Fun idea that gives watch rotation a new meaning. All The Best TGV.
I’m sure Marc appreciates his cameo in this video!😂
Reminds me of the old-fashioned trend of having a metal calendar attached to the band. That was a thing in the 1960s and 1970s. Cool suggestion!
Oh thanks for reminding me of that.
Ditto!
Are they still made
@@oscarosullivan4513 I just checked Amazon and there's a couple. Probably not a hot item since the advent of smart phones.
@@indianasunsets5738 I had never heard of the trend but looked it up and also found you can still buy them. Might be a fun addition to a vintage watch! Thanks for the factoid
All mý friends and colleagues know me as a watch nerd with a watch on each wrist (Schwarzkopfing) . I will try this double watch TGV style for sure and they will be convinced that I have gone entirely crazy - finally ! Now I wonder if I have enough watches in my collection to go ahead with this new style?
Go all the way and do the Urban Schwarzkopf: two watches on each wrist.
I like the marc meme
Doing this mod on a nice Duro or any one of the Edifice line of watches would make for the ultimate Casio combo.
Im planning to do it with my duro batman it has the half blue half blac bezel pair it with a black f91 with the blue accents ooufff might be a good combo.
You know Long Island watch Marc could pull off 4 watches.
No, no. Eight watches. A Schwarzkopf/Buzz/Castro
Marc wears a watch on his nutz.
I’m going to do this with a Casio calculator watch. Seems like the ultimate addition.
I think the databank has a 20mm lug width as well.
That setup may be a bit overpowered - nature as we know it may crumble to bits.
Proceed with caution.
So did you? If yes, how it looks and feels?
@@arsduk I did. I wear the databank on a 20mm NATO with my Speedmaster. It’s awesome for traveling.
@@corychecketts cool😎
Another great vid to catch up on before sleep this evening. Onwards and upwards TGV. Your channel has got me through the last 18 months !
Thank you Russ, that inspires me greatly to hear, onward and upwards my friend!
Best regards,
TGV
Hey man! Thanks for this idea, i wear a divewatch as default, and now all of a sudden i have all the functions carrying a small digital casio in my jeans pocket! I feel amazing now, complete :D
I’m appreciating the pleasing Casio beep at 2:24 . I need to try one of these methods!
Lol, the picture of Mark at 4:45
You just blew my mind! I love traditional watches, but I simply rely on the alarm and timer functionality of my Gshock too much. But now, because of this video, I can have the best of both worlds! My Gshock is too large to accomplish this of course so now I'm on the hunt for a small digital watch with a timer, as the F91w's lack of a timer is a deal breaker for me.
It's bonkers! I love it and I'm going to do it! Likely though, to satisfy my OCD anxiety, with a quartz diver to keep the seconds bang on. Great idea and it gets the F91W out of the dusty drawer. 👍
I've watched CZcams for about 15 years, and you are my favorite youtuber. Keep it up.
Thank you Andy, I am deeply honored and humbled.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Best regards,
TGV
I'm currently doing that with my ultimate beater set up! A Casio mrw200h on top and f91w on bottom. This is super fun if nothing else! I love this idea
If you want to improve on this I would recommend looking into the F84W. Alone it's a better choice for a strap as it has normal lugs and it's smaller in size to the f91W. Harder to get but no more expensive
This is a very cool idea and I thought about trying it. Unfortunately, all my Casios have the tiny lugs so I'd need to first get into buying an adapter and figuring out how to install THAT. Oh well, I guess I'll have to look into picking up an F-91W because this really would be useful for me.
Love the double watch concept. You are literally doubling the enjoyment 😂
I love how you put it! YESSSSSSS 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you Dave,
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry It’s our British eloquence at play good sir 😂 have a great weekend TGV 👍
Good evening TGV! That is a great idea adding a F-91W for a more tactical look with a diver, field watches or aviation watch. Have a great evening!
Good evening my friend. So glad you approve,
Have a great evening and rest of the weekend too.
Best regards,
TGV
“THIS IS HOW YOU TELL THE TIME”
Great video as always.
You forgot "The Castro" i.e. two watches (on two separate straps) on one arm.
Not an option for (urban) gentlemen. :)
It works with vintage watches because they tend to be small, not so much with the gigantic dive watches that are popular today.
Forgot about perpetual calendar !))) Greetings from Latvia !
I'm sure he doesn't jog so slowly he needs a calendar to time his jog :-P
Not my cup of tea personally (espwcially as someone who spends a lot of time learning my wrist on a desk), but I like the idea.
Maybe combine this with a nato strap compass for ultra-functionality?
Absolutely chuffed to bits with it!
Many people in the watch space publish videos attempting to show the credibility of new and novel watch ideas, but this is surprisingly something that is quite fascinatingly tangible, especially on a less formal NATO and with a dive watch like that Tudor. Fantastic combination, and it really fits the classic Tudor tactical-casual aesthetic.
DIY ana-digi watch.
Its not for me, but I can appreciate the ingenuity of it.
I've always said that the F-91W is the perfect watch for those times and places you may not want to wear your expensive timepiece. Now I can also say that the F-91W is the perfect watch to compliment your more expensive timepiece. And your video TGV proves it.
I love the idea of an F91 on the underside of a strap! Definitely going to try this!
That’s similar to a setup I had in the army except it was two digital watches as we were operating in two time zones and when you are extremely sleep deprived you don’t want to do mental conversions.
I almost disregarded this video as silly. Then I watched. VERY INTERESTING! 👍🏼 thank you 🙏
Apologies for not knowing the model but I have to say that Tudor with the two tone nato is the best looking watch I have ever seen.
The Casio is also sacrificial for scratches over the clasp on a metal bracelet
very different idea. I might have to try this out
I literally did this four months ago with a Seiko 5 on a Nato strap and a G-SHOCK using the G-SHOCK's caseback screws to hold it in place. The mod worked just fine and was really sturdy. Undid it though, because the module felt uncomfortable, when resting my wrist. Guess it would be a little less of a problem with the slim Casio, but still a nuisance. Both watches are still fine. But fumbling the spring bars back into the Casio can be challenging.
Hello TGV! Great video. I´ve been using a smartband as a secondary watch for several months now. I wear it military style in the same wrist, after my watch of choice. Most of the time it´s hidden under the sleeve. So, I get all the health functionalities and computing fancyness without sacrifying the enjoyment of wearing my favourite watch. Works for me. Thanks for all the entertainment! Cheers!
This in my opinion is single handedly youre best video. Thinking of subscribing again.
Hello!, and thank you very much for another thread. This is a very good idea, and you got the reason as well, the humble Casio F91-W is cheap but at the same time it is really tough!. I had wore when I was spear-fishing even in a 20 m. depth. Resisted in that way several years of use, three times per week, only having several scratches in his plastic cover. Your advice is also welcome because I like jogging and also going outside for a walk in the nature and this is a fantastic complement. Together with compass and bullbars protection the nylon NATO strap is unbeatable. I wouldn't wear a Rolex Explorer on it but rather a Hamilton Kahqui Fiel f.ex. or a Seiko Alpinist or those of many different 5's, etc....
Thank you once more for bring us this horological joy TGV!
Saludos!!!
It's the perfect thing for those covert missions into enemy territory!
This adds a new meaning to the phrase, "Buzz-word."
If wearing 1 watch on each wrist is called a “Schwarzkopf”, then is wearing 2 watch heads on a single strap called a “TGV”? Hmmm 🤔. I prefer that instead of calling it the Buzz.
The buzz does sound like you had a few to many xD.. i like calling it the tgv… so mates.. iam off to buy a casio f91 w 😅😂
What would wearing two watches on the same wrist/arm be called?
Because I have been wearing a Casio databank above my Seiko 12H chronograph, which has been working well for me, as I have thin wrists/arms.
Though when I get something fancier, I intend to do this.
They think we a crazy anyway ! Don´t care - life is too short !
Astronauts in ISS are using two watches on both wrists. One digital and one mechanical. 💎 You should see it, it's pretty cool.
Two watches? Lil' 007 has finally flipped his lid.
"Guardate che fico ragazzi, guardate eh"
Mi hai fatto morire dal ridere 😂😂
Nice video as always!
Hello friend, wanted to give an update on my luxury watch purchase. I couldn't wait any longer for a Sub. Instead, I purchased a black seamaster. I was offered the opportunity to purchase a smooth bezel datejust, but honestly love dive watches too much. Went with the black seamaster and I'm loving it.
This is a great and original idea …. I will try this. Why not? All of us are addicted to watches……thanks TGV .. cheers from Mexico
This is the most Urban Gentry video
Again, genius idea here. Two watches with one NATO strap. Have an amazing Saturday TGV!
“Guardate che figo, ragazzi” had me in stitches! It is the perfect punch line for the video! Thanks for sharing this amazing trick!
Thanks 🙏 this is some James Bond shyt !
I always thought of this but still thought it may look weird but it’s still cool 😎
It feels like the breitling's solution for dual time with the super chronomat only this one's better placed by placing the other watch at the other end.
Really like this idea so im gonna try it with a Casio LF-20W
new subscriber here. I just tried what you suggested, but I used a 3d printed 18mm to 22mm NATO adaptors for my f91w to use my 22mm NATO straps
Fantastic , I habeen pondering this very thing for a little while now.
Good tip on cutting the inner strap off the Zulu strap. I tried it on my camouflage Zulu strap made a big difference on my duro fit and feel. Thanks.
Hi guys and welcome to the show!
Thank you TGV for another great idea! Stay healthy and well! Nick 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Added benefit of telling then time whilst performing the “pinecone” gesture 🤌🤌🤌
I Schwarzkopf a regular watch on the left (right now, the Direnzo DRZ04 in white) and a 40mm Apple Watch - with all its capabilities - on the right. Very handy for fitness tracking, notifications, and extra time zones for work. Plus, wearing the smaller Apple Watch with the nylon sport loop band helps it look more like a fitness tracker, and less like a second watch. I've been doing this for 3 years now, and have only been asked once "are you wearing TWO watches?"
Yeah a Direnzo 04 - what a nice one, I have the blue dial one since 2 months and love it !
I Like it. Especially with the Explorer (My favorite watch, due to it's history, achievements etc) and the Casio F-91W, the first watch I really gave a damn about.
Going to pop this on my Marathon Navigator for the extra functions..terrific idea! Cheers from Nova Scotia M. (PS. Really enjoy the channel and content).
3:18 In fact Edwin Buzz Aldrin often wears three watches, two on a single bracelet: Omega DeVille co-axial chronoscope GMT with an Omega X-33 Skywalker chronograph
On his other wrist a Gold Omega Speedmaster or an Omega Solar Impulse HB-SIA GMT #MoonwatchUniverse
I didn’t know I needed this - but I did
I’m a mason by trade and have found the f91w to be the easiest to keep clean and somehow I can’t break it even if I try
Oh yes! I have been waiting for this one. I imagine my son will have this project complete by the end of the video. Thanks, TGV! Hope you and yours are well. Onward and upward, my friend!
Thank you my friend, I hope you and your son get as much fun from this as I do!
Have a great rest of the weekend.
Best regards,
TGV
TGV with his REVERSO hahaha LOVE IT :)
Take that you watch snobs!!! A Rolex with an F91 on the same strap!!! TGV, I was just about to pull the trigger on a $1700 GMT but you saved the day! Also, Marc is going to get you for that.
Good point David I wonder if a Rolli can tolerate that kind of closeness to something so cheap ? I this new TGV style de rigueur ? and allowed ?, what will Hugo say about it ? So many questions !
There are 3dprinted double-casio nostromo-style watch setups available, the ripley watch setup.
Hi TGV you are my favourite youtuber. Please I suggest doing a video about the daily do it all which one do you prefer seiko snxs77 or srpg27. Thanks
Thank you so much, I am deeply honored. I will certainly look into it. Cracking choice of Seikos!!!!
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry thank you for replying. The idea of this suggestion is abount an affordable daily watch which can be used in any occasion. I currently have a casio mrw-200h and use it constantly but it is not ideal for office... grazie amico
Im planning to do it with my duro batman it has the half blue half blac bezel pair it with a black f91 with the blue accents ooufff might be a good combo.
My seiko and my Casio calculator data bank combo sound good. Ima try it
Bloody love TGV, he is the original and best watch CZcamsr in my opinion. I’ve always wondered where the watch joke/meme “chuffed to bits” started with him or whether he’s referencing it himself when he says it. Not sure if that makes sense. Bit excellent content either way.
This is great. I have it on two of my automatic divers. They become the reference for when I have to correct the time on the divers!
its hilarious, I had been thinking of doing the same with my digital and mechanical watch and lo and behold what gets uploaded around the same time!
great stuff man, really appreciate your content
This is awesome. My project this week. Thanks TGV!
Can't believe I've only just come across this! Quite possibly the coolest idea I've seen!! I'm subscribing right now, many thanks 👍
As mentioned when you first showed this I love the idea of the 2 watch one strap idea. When exercising I do tend to wear 2 watches. But I am tempted to try this. Great idea sir 👍
Hi. Your idea about two watches on a single wrist is brilliant but your italian is simply lovely! 😁
Would love to see a mod like this with the Apple watch
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m not a nato guy, but I really want to try this. It’s too clever not to….. but I have to get the right nato and an f91w! Thanks for the video on how you do it TGV!
Tgv similar solution, your casioak. I just made one very similar to yours(plain leather not aligator) it's not a dress watch but it's dressy. World time displayed and then the hands would be local time or stopwatch and hands.
Should do this with 2 G-SHOCKs with the jays and Kay’s adapters. Keep track of 4 time zones. The possibilities are endless thanks TGV 😁
Why stop at 4 time zones when you can double that using the same method but on your ankles
@@hex8387 why stop there. Attach them to your belt and have the whole world around your waist. And on Saturday’s add a Seiko 😁
@@jayrdee8929 yeah!!! That's the spirit! 😂
you are a fucking galaxy brain genius. As someone who owns multiple watches, this video hit me like divine revelation. I just bought the casio f91w. It is on its way and I could not be more excited.
I was in Walmart today and decided to check out the watch shelf to see for humor value what they had. Other than some $10 cheap looking 50mm quartz watches, they had a shelf of casio. Couple g-shocks, a f91w, a couple that kinda looked like a f91w, and thing that was basically a mini f91w. I couldn't seem to find a reference number, but it was cute in a "if my 3 year old needed a watch" kind of way. Oddly, other than the g-shocks, the most expensive casio was actually the f91w, which was $15, while the other casio digital (including the mini thing) were $10.
Already put my seiko 5 and a-158 on a perlon when I saw it on a recent video. Simply had to be done. I love it🤣🤣
Keep up the great work TGV
Excellent idea with the Perlon!!! 👏👏👏 I deffo will try that, they are nice and thin too.
Thank you Jacob, enjoy.
Best regards,
TGV
The picture of Marc had my CACKLING
You're right, it's not for everybody. But it's interesting!
Wow! That seems so simple yet ingenious at the same time.
The ultimate question is, how many F-91Ws can you fit on your wrist at a time?
At their price you can afford to buy a few and find out! 😉
Coch from Tactical Hive wears a Resco Instruments Watch and a Fenix 7 in a strap and a Arnie Solar and Fenix 5 for workout. Im gonna put the G square with the Willard to see how it feels.
Wow! I got so excited when I saw you posted this! Was very curious after seeing your last video where you featured the sub with the Casio. Will have to pick up an f91w and give this a shot!
Bro, I just enter to watch your intros several times at a time). Loving the quality you make it combined with music
I did this and it's great.
Very creative 👏
Very cool 😎 I wouldn’t need something like this myself.. but I find this a great idea 💡
Pretty clever, man. I like it. I want to say I think I saw this concept a couple years ago... I think it was something to do with adding Sinn and Apple Watch in much the same fashion. Being a Sinn fan, perhaps u may remember this thing?
I'm not sure if they ever really made this or if it was even popular at all?
Mark is gonna be rocking 4 watches now the next time you guys team up!
Haha, do you mean Marc?
Thank you Clyde,
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry lol! I just watched Tim do a watch review so apparently my brain cannot comprehend all of the watch content I'm consuming!
Thanks TGV. Now, I have used this technique with your Rangemaster and an F-91. Looks awesome. Phoenix does not carry the James bond version anymore. They informed they are not planning to restock that style. Not sure why. I went with next best looking strap.
4:12 - that is me!!
Still can't believe I'm not the only one who wears a digital and a analog on the same strap. Also what song do you use in your intro?
Helpful tip: If the strap is too thick for the Digital watch, a good solution is getting an Elastic strap (Like a NDC), I have a Casio AEW1000 and the space between the Springbar and the case is so small and weird shaped that, aside from the original Strap, Elastics are most likely the ONLY strap options. Though I'm interested to try a Perloin Strap.
Hi Tristano I hope you are well my friend.I noticed at the start of your video you have a Rolls-Royce silver cloud model on a low shelf very nice. My great uncle had the Bentley version which he loved.!
