- čas přidán 4. 09. 2020
- 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
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
Well said friend! :D
Michael,
You do know this is a CZcams comment section, don't you? It's okay to post positive and uplifting comments here, but don't run around CZcams doing it on other channels.
Great comment, thanks.
Ian Butler ?
@@michaeledwardlenzi Another key to a happy life is having a sense of humour. Ian was just joking.
I needed this video today, fellas - I can't even begin to explain... familiar and respected faces just hanging out a talking watches. Thanks to you both
You guys should do these talk shows every month. This is just hilarious XD
I also recommend buying from Long Island Watch, great customer service. Had an issue with a watch and I had a replacement and a return label less than a week later.
Hi there , I have been in Law Enforcement for over 34 years now. I have developed PTSD and was on duty during 911. May I say you two guys have made watch collecting a major part of my life. You two bring a smile to my face, and I really enjoy your videos. Recently I acquired the Rangemaster mechanical, and it has become my on duty watch. Thank you for the smile I get when I watch you two. Oh , say hi to hugo
Two of the nicest knowledgeable watch guys online. I wear several Long Island Watch sourced watches. Marc is wonderful to deal with.
Absolutely love these guys together, what a combo.
Love how you include visual illustrations of the watches you're referring to. It really helps me follow along. Excellent work as usual Sir!
Oh, this was one of the coolest and laidback natural watch talk I've ever seen! So entertaining! A couple of humble guys filled with knowledge.
Hugo frightens me now lol. Stay safe TGV.
Whats up with Hugo? Midlife crisis? Atay safe and greetings to you TGV
Hugo is the man
This has to be the best, most enjoyable video I have seen in ages. 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!
Kids with no WiFi/games consoles? You have my sympathies, my friend!
Orient listening: "More 17mm straps it is then!"
Fantastic video. Really like these videos with guests. Very interesting discussion. I do love both of those gold Seiko. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
You guys are both the best. I could watch you talk watches for hours. Well Done!
Marc is the best. Nothing but top notch when dealing with Island Watch.
Please keep doing videos like these. They're lovely and so informational, while also giving an amazing insight into you and your guest's opinions. Bravo!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! You guys make a great duo in this type of relaxed setting. Looking forward to the next installment!
I enjoyed your videos talking watches in such a friendly and relax way. I’ll wait patiently for the next one!!!!
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.
Great to see those two fantastic gentlemen taking their job seriously and professionally with humor and modesty. Sometimes much needed in this industry. I never forget that a TGV's video (about 2 years ago) kindly and warmly recommended LIW, as one of the most trust able, efficient and kindest online retailers. I have never been disappointed ever since. Thank you!
Amazing Intro TGV, so great to see two friends talking about something they love 👍😊🇮🇹
This needs to be a regular occurrence. TGV + Mark + TGV's laugh = pure class. Also, this opened my mind to Laco, I'm sold.
Loved this! Two of the greatest watch community icons having a fun talk about their passion. I would love to see more of these in the future.
I need a “Long Island Gentry” podcast - just do us all a favor, please!
Apart from work, two real friends chatting about their passion and giving us really valuable ideas!
More of these! The longer the better!
Interviews, collaborations… Simple conversations: MORE!
Do you know where I get my laundry folded and the dishes done… I prop you up right on the tablet in the windowsill and get my chores done.
I mean this as the highest compliment.
Ive been watching these while on the treadmill at the gym. Makes an hour of cardio fly by! Love the rapport between you two. Great conversations
Thanks for the video and chat TGV and Marc - Really enjoyed it and looking forward to the next installment - Power permitting 😉 Cheers Noel
Love these collaborations, you guys are a joy to watch. Thanks!
Marc is such a great guest on this channel! I really appreciate his insight from the perspective as a watch dealer. That said... I have a gold Flighty and really enjoy it. It is my dress watch and under the sleeve cuff, it is not as noticable as one might expect.
I really enjoyed watching you and Marc I'm hooked and binge watched all the videos you've both done.
just a fantastic video. funny, informative and comforting. thanks so much guys.
I love it when Hugo calls me “darling” 🥰 great video as always! Super intresting and finaly a good video call that’s not just a screenreccord from skype! Thank you 🙏
A great Sunday morning video, thanks TGV !!
Thank you for the video! You guys got me smiling the whole time :)
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!
Well, what can I say, pure calls all the way, I expected nothing less from you!
Best regards,
TGV
I love how so many of us talk of our collections and then the random G Shock we have. Casio does something right.
I'm stuck, do I buy a dan henry 62 or 64?
@@jamesrocheftw Beautiful watches! I'd definitely like to add one to my collection.
@@theurbangentryIs The Rotary Watches Worth it?
Love to see both of you. Gr8 to hear what u guys talk about favorite watches.
"Entschuldigung" - Nailed it TGV
I second that.
Just loved the video. LOVE IT.. The knowledge and passion you guys have always mesmerise me.. You should do these videos more often. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
Love when you guys get together - so much knowledge to share. I would enjoy an episode on micro brands at various price points. I bought three during Mark's last Black Friday sale. Thanks so much.
This was so cool, it was as if I was there. It's been years now, I didn't know anything about watches when I first started watching you and all of the other watch guys, I learned a lot and I finally felt as if I was on the same level. Still got to learn a lot, but now I'm definitely in the game.
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.
You guys are great together. Love watching these, I could listen all day in the background. Thanks.
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.. Been a very strange year so far , so it’s nice to switch off and get lost in the conversation of Watches!! Keep the collaborations going!! BMJ ENGLAND 🏴
Thank you TGV for providing excellent information on watches and introducing me to Mark and Long Island Watch. Thanks to Mark for providing wonderful collection of quality watches, spectacular customer service and a wonderful safe buying experience. Thank you both TGV and Mark bringing me into the watch collecting world, who are completely responsible for turning me into a watch collector when previously I had 1. 3 of my watches come from Long Island Watch including moding accessories and a straps.
So fascinating listening to this conversation as someone who has been on the edge of the watch game for a few years. It's giving me the itch.
I love watching you two guys who know your stuff talk lovingly about every brand regardless of price.
Shows real class. And I want a new 38 mm flashlight. Just a matter of time Marc ......be ordering soon!
Love you guys both!
Hands down one of the best CZcams combos! Can’t wait for the next one!
So good to see the channel back to its old self...Thanks TGV
I loved this video! Love hearing you guys talk watches! Thank you T and Mark! Cheers!
What a good chemistry between you two. I had a laugh.
You got to do this again!
Fantastic!
Hilarious entertaining video guys, well done. Love to see this becoming a regular thing. Btw just as Marc is talking about his suit, island watches ad comes up... I was so confused for a few seconds :)))
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!
This turned out to be hugely entertaining. Two friends just shooting the breeze and having fun.
Podcast vibe to this that I really enjoyed. Thanks guys 👍
Fantastic conversation! Enjoyed this so much thanks gents!
I enjoy listening to the watch community. Thanks to you both.
Just love both of you together. Respect from Singapore 🇸🇬. Learn so much from you guys.
Love these style videos!! Fantastic work as usual!!
-Ben A
Absolute joy to watch videos like this one. This would be a wonderful monthly installment!
What a killer video. I totally enjoyed the conversation and the knowledge about watches. I'll get an islider next for sure
What a great concept for a video, looking forward to this one!
What a pleasure listening to these guys. Good combo.
This is my 1st comment EVER on TUG albeit I have been watching the vids for some time. Want to commend on the outstanding collaboration with Mark. You guys are fantastic. Mark is one of my favs too. I'm a certified member of The Time Teller, and you 2 are spoken in high regard especially from me. Wishing you the best!
You two have excellent friendship chemistry. Really enjoyed the series and looking forward to another joint video.
My legitimate favorite two people in the watch world. Great chat boys, look forward to another one.
Ok ok!
I hit like!
Hugo, please don't eat me!
Love these presentations.
Learn something new all the time.
Bravo, fantastic video, really enjoyed this, thank you so much for all the effort chaps 🥳👌🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
Could not smash that like button fast enough...Much love from The Bahamas as always keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Leslie, what a wonderful part of the world, would you fancy a swap?! :-)
Much love from Philly!
Best regards,
TGV
Great collaboration video of two honest and real watch guys appreciated all over the world. Cheers from "Sinn" City, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Really enjoyed this more than Part 1. Great time guys..no pun intended. Either of your collections are more than worry but Gentry...you nailed it! That Neptune can be dressy too. Bond always wore his “Gilts” in formal wear various levels👍✔️
OMG this video was awesome, Please do more you two.
Great stuff guys, excellent combo. It works keep it up
Thanks for the video, both of you guys are great fun to watch and learn from. And yes, 38mm is also my sweet spot. :)
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.
OMG, I love that idea!!!!!!
Genius Carlos, thank you, I will suggest it to Marc,
Best regards,
TGV
Can I be your friend
Lange L082.1?
Great idea
Yes !
This is really the registry in where I mostly like to see this channel, just watch talking, independently of their price mark and brand, without any elaborated calibers clichés or other similar stuff, almost a return to the origins...👍
Keep these coming. Mark is great! I have one of his Islander Aviators coming in a couple days.
Very enjoyable, and great to see friends talking about their passion(s). I also like the Rolex comments. Hilarious and spot on.
great video. never thought about buying an islander before, reconsidering. thanks for the content.
Loved the "Talk 3" video. You guys are great very good chemistry.
Very entertaining, interesting and funny show. Thanks TGV and Mark.
Marc is the classiest down to earth guy! You make a great duo, please have him on more often!
The 2 Sages of the CZcams Watch world do it again and again and now again - great video and advice guys!
Great chemistry between you guys. You should do many more of these. Mark is a great guy.
Nice to see both of you into that video 🙌 Interesting talk 🙏
I have both Flighty’s, black and white/blue. Fantastic watches. The yellow hands are perfect for the black. So soothing watching the second hand reset.
Two stand up guys. I've learned alot in the past 2 to 3 years just from these 2 gentlemen. Great video.
I enjoyed this video for many reasons. The main reason is seeing two people with passion talking about their subject and enjoyment of it.
Just loved the collaboration of two of my idols, you guys are the truth inspection of new watch fanatics and driving them towards the correct direction. 🙏 Love & Respect from India.
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).
Excellent video. A bit long in the banter, but entertaining, revealing more about the personalities of both Marc and TGV than you get from their other videos. Shows how much both TGV and Marc are down to earth real people who have a common passion. Their choices aren't the ones I would make (and have made) but thought provoking nevertheless regarding the decision criteria. I've purchased from Long Island Watch in the past and it's a super company to deal with.
Great content, interesting thoughts and look forward to the next installment...🙂
Thoroughly enjoyable 41 minutes, felt like I was hanging out with you. Well done guys.
It's really good thing if you have someone to talked too about your fashion.. Nice collaboration again my good sirs.. Keep it up always.. More power. 💪👌
You two guys are true gentlemen. Each with a unique personality but sharing interests and friendship.
Great video 😁 and love your channel. I have a great passion for tool watches and spend a great deal of time in the nature. Maybe do a top 5 of watches you would bring into the wild.
Thanks again Sir for a great channel.
Thx a lot for discovering Laco for me. Amazing timepiece and actually ordered one. You can even customize movement and glass. They not only have fantastic pilots but also the same divers. "Pure class" :D
I really enjoy the collaboration you have been doing, You guys work well together.
Marc's reaction to new releases video! Great idea!
I’m loving these colab videos
