- If you’ve followed the Urban Gentry channel for a while, you’ll know that I love buying and selling watches, especially on eBay. From hunting for the best bargains to snagging fantastic deals, it has always been fun and easy. Many of you, the good Gentry, have reached out to me for tips on how to find the best watches and deals on eBay, so today we’ll take a look at my personal buying experience from the start of the watch search to the final unboxing, with lots of helpful tips in between.
Part of what makes buying luxury watches on eBay even more pleasurable now is their new Authenticity Guarantee, which takes the guesswork out of the purchase process and makes the entire experience so much easier. Whether you’re already an eBay buyer pro, or new to buying watches, this is the video for you! Happy watch hunting, and thank you to eBay for reaching out and sponsoring this video.

After overhearing this video, Mrs JJ has just informed me that I am banned from eBay. She knows me too well.
LOL!!! I love it and know the situation so well :D
Thank you my friend, my best to your wife too.
Best regards,
TGV
Wanted to say thanks so much for introducing me to the world of watches, as a 23 year old man who works in healthcare (thereby needing to be bare below the elbows) I had always assumed quality watches were out of my price range and frankly an indulgence i could ill afford. I had looked at many of my grandfather's watches and been impressed at the craftsmanship and detail, however didn't see a way for me to be involved in the hobby. I strongly feel the points you have made in previous videos regarding traditional brands failing to engage the younger consumer are accurate, and (controversially) think the Seiko 5 Sports models are a noble attempt to engage this otherwise untapped market. Thanks to your channel i am the proud owner of two lovely Casio Edifice watches and have my first automatic, an Orient Mako 2 on the way!
Sunday night...."Today I'm going to bed early!"
Also Sunday night: TGV releases new video. And that's that. :D
LOL!!!! Thank you my friend, sleep well.
Best regards,
TGV
I love hearing your wife in the background laughing out loud at you :D
Can't get enough of these bloopers,love them!
Just the kind of video I was waiting for! Great stuff
Is anyone else concerned that TGV just said that he secretly wants to be Patrick Bateman? Do you even like Huey Lewis and the news?
I'd stick around for your answers but I have to go return some video tapes.
LOL!!!!!
Thank you :D
Best regards,
TGV
This is not an exit.
I don't think he wants to be Billy Idol or David Lee Roth. Maybe Sting though
“Don’t touch the watch!”
@podcastage: Just make sure you don't sit drunk in a chair, while the ground is covered in newspaper
Another informative, entertaining episode. TGV never disappoints. Congrats on the Rolex acquisition. It's a beauty.
You really got the best sound of any gentlemen's/watch enthusiast channel. Fantastic quality overall. Greeting from Sweden!
eBay - home to the biggest bargains, and the biggest regrets!
So true, so true my friend.
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
😁Yes I bought some cool shaving gear from Ebay in USA and it was send to me i Europe, I payed all the tax and shipping. It was totally rubbish and complete waste of money. Can only blame myself, happy it wasn't a used luxury watch though.
@@larsstougaard7097 convenience shopping at home has lured many people into parting with their hard earned money, for total trash or stuff they don't need and never initially wanted to buy anyways.
I got ones on ebay a volvo gas lit discontinued for 25 years Jackpot lol also I got a 40 year old Mercedes center consol arm rest in Nos conditions. Ebay is the best thing like arroz con frejoles Carne asada y Maduro frito going back to watches I hit the jackpot this year I got a blue citizen courageous signature edition for 80 bucks...they didn't specify the model on the title so no one bid but me lol sorry hard to add another comment.
Totally agree it’s so easy to buy from you’ve definitely got to use knowledge and self control 🤙🏻. Just picked up a vintage G Shock 5000 love it but you have to be conservative and patient.
Loved the intro with the bloopers! Good content, thank you for putting this out
Thank you TGV for this video! Is alwais nice to see you!!! I laugh so much in to the intro 😂😂😂
Yeah he uploaded again, this is they best part of my day
😬
😬
😬
It's simple really. I see a TGV video, I hit like, my day is instantly better.
What a cracking watch, I LOVE that texture in the dial.
I’ve had some great eBay watch experiences, great video TGV !!
Thank you John,
Best regards,
TGV
Super good and very useful video. Love it! I’m wishing you the best my friend and congrats on that magnificent piece. Quality content as usual. Have a good one!
Thanks this is very helpful, always a worry buying off ebay, great to see you team up on the live chat with Russel the other week. keep up the great videos by the way.
Thanks for the video and showing the process!! Very informative
What!?!? Two uploads in one week! Yeah! Excellent. Thanks much, TGV! Very glad to see this as I had NO idea this service was even in existence.....Eat your heart out, Which (watch) Box!.....yes, I know, perhaps ungentlemanly, but at least you know us Gentry are always there with you! Onward and Upwards, my friend!
What a great video!!! Thank you for all the great advice!!!
I just love your goofy bloopers intro - and Hugo, of course. Not enough laughs in the world elsewhere so we really need a bit of 'craziness' right now. Keep it up.
Thanks TGV, really informative video!
The bloopers are always great to see! 😀
Thanks very much for sharing this knowledge, love your videos as always, top draw 👍
This was a very informative and helpful video
Thumbs up
This is just my single Rolex in my collection (black dial just not tapestry) left to me after my dad passed so I'll never sell it. Now a days it is not as flashy as it used to be in the 80's, easier to wear every day, it introduced me to smaller sizes, has so much class, dare I say it? Pure Class!
This is not only a great video on how to buy a watch on eBay but it serves as a great eBay buyers guide for anything
An excellent video - certainly brightened my day.
The authentication is an Awesome offering… I very much I’ve been contemplating buying an omega speed master and eBay has by far and away the best pricing… Can’t wait to use this feature! For the great info TVG!
Nice piece. Just the right a amount of bling without being obnoxious.
Opening blooper reel had me in stitches 😂
Stunning watch. Love the dial, it definitely exudes 80s style which like you, being a child of the 80s, is definitely right up my alley 👌. Definitely seems a good service to those looking to purchase a luxury watch. Enjoy the ⌚ sir
Ok. Ive watched enough of your videos throughout the year, its about time I subscribed.
Thank you, welcome aboard!
Best regards,
TGV
I wish they did this in Europe.. Beautiful watch btw!
Once more iam holding the comments section hostage. But i have to say (again), everone should be watching this channel. No one else talks like that. They want to seem like they get these watches just because they're so recognizable so companies just magically send watches. LOL. but you keep it real, I do the same thing. Iam addicted to looking at watches on ebay. Thanks again.
I wish it was 2001 as well. I’d stock up on GMTs and Subs and then back to the future
Haha, that is if Hugo has not beat your to it with his new Delorean time machine ;-)
Thank you, you and me both!
Best regards,
TGV
And buy Google and Apple stock by the thousands!!
@@qchang09 I remember having a conversation back in the mid 90s about investing in Yahoo or google at the time. Oh, if 15 year old me actually had my foot in the door..! :)
@@qchang09 And $20.000 in Bitcoins 😉.

Informative as always TGV! Did not know about this eBay feature. Stay safe😷🍹
Excellent video, thank you.
My birthday, and this is a good gift to start the day with. Best regards from Norway ❤🤟
Congratulations , TGV ! Beautiful choice !
I said OHHHH the same exact time he did, when he saw the watch under the packaging. :D not my ideal rolex but still stunning !!!!!
Very handy video. Thanks TGV.
I am very busy today, so I will watch this video another day, but I will let you know that I bought a Hamilton Khaki by watching one of your older uploads. What a watch! Thanks for your nice videos as always
great information here thanks for posting
Always learning, onward and upward!
I really enjoyed the video while having a smoke and you always seem to surprise me with the wristwatch check
Great choice !!! Just such an iconic peice . Timeless !!!
Great tutorial TGV, Ebay has definitely stepped up from the past. Good outtakes as well my friend. Enjoy your week! 🥃
This is very valuable information. 👌🏽
very informative thank you, hopefully this rolls out to the UK
Thanks TGV, I liked this video.
Huzzah! A man of culture! I see you’re also rocking some stone island along with your already strong wrist game.
Hi TGV, hope you're doing well
Very nice and interesting video, because since 7months i learning about ebay, idon't bought a watch from there until now but I do spend a lot of time looking on a nice piece.
Thanks mate, i will use your advices soon
Thank you for your video bud. I was planning to buy an omega planet Ocean, but I was always skeptical and scared of doing it on eBay.But thanks to your video i'm gonna pull my trigger🎉
Love the bloopers!!!
thank you so much for the information.
you really are the best youtuber to make intros 😂❤️
I won’t ever use eBay again.
I used to buy and sell on eBay until I was scammed as a seller. Buyer claimed it wasn’t what was described (vintage DJ36) and even after showing all my proof, eBay/PayPal sided with the buyer. When I refunded the money, I didn’t get back my box and papers or my original TT bracelet - was sent a fake bracelet. When I brought it up with eBay, they said they can’t do anything about it. That’s when I started using forums and Reddit, best thing to ever happen. No dumb fees either.
Great CZcams channel
That for the information on buying watches on eBay . Congratulations on your Rolex
Have a great and safe 2021.
My regards to Hugo !
My main concern would be those who swap out movements or other parts undetectable under general inspection, my local authorized Rolex dealer warned me about this many years ago...but great video as always TGV. Bravo!
The “refurbished” seller needs to go. They’re complete scams
Enjoyed it ! Great topic
Congratulations my friend, great video love the new piece, enjoyed and wear it in good health, Ebay is be coming an icon to the watch community in my opinion, I have visited and buy many pieces from Ebay 👍👍is great way owning the real thing with the out any affiliate problems....
I bought my seiko sla 021 on eBay came just like your Rolex i was very pleased with my marinemaster 021 great vid my good chap and love your vids thanks for your Awesome research on these Amazing watches
Lovely! I also like your caliper from Harbor freight Tools. 😉
Really enjoy your videos TGV, specially the background music. It's almost like your in a luxury lounge of some sort talking amongst friends, with a nice cigarr and a brandy/whiskey 😁.
What's your thoughts about the new zenith Chronomaster, would love if you could do a review on it 😁.
Congrats on the new purchase. Enjoy!!
Thank you for the share I love my Tapestry dial. I wear the heck out of it as well. Thank you again always wanted to by from eBay
Thank you so much for this video, makes buying a used luxury a lot less scarier now, much appreciated hope you’re keeping well
You have no idea how happy that makes me feel, that is precisely why I made this video.
Happy hunting and enjoy every second!
Thank you and best regards,
TGV
Very helpful! 👏👏👏
And I wanted to say thanks for taking us on the ride.
Great video TGV ! :DD
Awesome insight my friend! Your advice over the years buying used have certainly helped me with my watch purchases!!!! Gag reel at the start is what I wanna see more!;)
Thank you Russ :D I am just half way through watching your latest show with Joe, absolutely loving so far. You two are great, I love the respectful honesty, you crack me up too.
Stay safe and well my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry appreciate you watching that !!! It’s gotta be fun! Joe is a great guy!
Great watch and great dial too. Best looking Datejusts are from 70's and 80's.Cheers from Italy
Congrats on the new Rolex! That dial looks nice! 🙂
I have this peculiar feeling that this video would never been made if TGV was still affiliated with WatchBox .... ^^
I like it! It feels like the real Urban Gentry again. 🙂
So true
I view a lot, although not all, of his videos. When did he part ways with Watchbox? Also, did TGV make a video of this departure? TY
@@DrJamesConforti It was mentioned in a video. The partnership was intended for one year only, which ended up being for that duration.
@Nigel Molesworth So nobody is supposed to ask questions?
Jingly jangly!! Thumbs up TGV!
Gorgeous watch; congratulations and enjoy!
Awesome bro!!
thats a beauty. ive really been smitten with the new christopher ward c60 saphire . its maagic
Beautiful watch, love it
Again: great Video!!!!!
Thank you for this video.
what a classy watch, congratulations sir!
As someone who struggled to get the opening of my videos right (heck, the whole thing really) so hilarious seeing this open! Lovely video mate.
Deffo going to check out more of your content, LOVE movies, such a big part of my life. Watching your Fallen Kingdom review as we speak. Keep up the good work.
Thank you my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
Excellent video and very informative. I need to check if we have this service in the UK.
What a beautiful watch!
My dream watch actually.
Well wear.
80’s baby 💪 nice watch
Beautiful piece.
Authenticity Guaranteed is amazing. A must! A no brained. I’m sold 100%. Wish this was available in EU.
I'm glad you did a video about this. I've been wanting to get a timepiece from Ebay and was wondering about the authentication service. Thanks!
So glad I could help, this is what it's all about and why I make videos.
Thank you Nelson,
Best regards,
TGV
Love that dial!
omg I love the Frasier mug! That is my favorite show EVER! Glad to see there are other fans.
YESSSSSS!!!! My fave too, I watch it almost every night, it always puts me in a good mood.
Thank you Jamie, you have great taste in TV shows.
Best regards,
TGV
Almost as cool as an Urban Gentry mug.
Agreed! Frasier is the best!
I prefer this classic office-view camera set up better than the headshot-view from last video! keep up the great content!
Thank you, I will be using both when relevant to the type of video, but I appreciate it. Sometimes the old ways are always best ;-)
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry haha nice Skyfall reference!
The Rollie AM Tees look Awesome! PS - any Hugo out takes and bloopers? LOL
Love that dial 👍
@The Urban Gentry Hi really like the bloopers 😁
May i ask you a quick question, is it possible that the EBAY authentication option is not available in Canada? because I can't see it 😶.
keep up the great work!!
Just picked up an older aqua terra with the authentication for just under $3000. Super pumped. Buying on eBay isn't so bad. Selling is a nightmare and I do not recommend. I've had too many idiots buy my watches and I end up paying for their mistakes because they have no clue what they are doing. Example I had one idiot buy a black 1545 maxi dial and after I sent it he asked me if it was blue. Like, no dummy it's clearly listed as black and squale doesn't make the maxi in blue. Had to wait 2 weeks to get it back so I could re list it. Facebook is even worse though. If people disagree with your asking price, they post the most rude comments bashing your sale.
Fantastic...if you had said to me, 'You will enjoy a video about shopping on eBay', I would have called you crazy! TGV, my wife would like that superpower to make me enjoy shopping with her!
