Love the video and the new room, especially the model of the Queen Mary. On March 29th 1945 my father was seriously wounded in Germany, after having fought the Battle of the Bulge and while on his way with his unit to liberate Dachau (3rd Battalion, 157th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Division, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Felix L. Sparks). He miraculously survived and was rescued, sent to England for multiple surgeries and a brief convalescence, after which he and several thousand wounded GIs were packed in tight on the Queen Mary and shipped back to New York and the USA. I salute that great ship. Thank you for sharing it with us. Years later, in March 1969, my Dad gave me an Omega Speedmaster, just four months before Apollo 11. I wore it while watching Armstrong take his first step on the moon, and am wearing it today in commemoration of that event. (After fifty years, and one main spring change, it still runs great!) Thanks for all you do to remind us of important historical artifacts and milestones. Take care, and God bless.
Watching from the early days and seeing the gradual additions to your NY War Room, it was becoming a little cramped. Glad you’ve got some space to spread out and enjoy!
LOL, that would be amazing, however, even 20th Century Fox could not afford him, he only gets out of bed for no less than $50k in cash ;-) Thank you, I will however suggest it to him Best regards, TGV
Now addicted to your channel. I am English , retired and live alone with my dog in a cave house in rural Spain. I don't watch TV, so rely on the internet for viewing purposes. Only recently found your channel. Keep up the good work.
You are at your best in this classic format, Tristano. Thank you for giving us this personable look into your living space. Don't listen to the haters, none of the other UA-cam watch personalities have even a quarter of your personality!
Alexander no need to bring the others down - there’s many great personalities on UA-cam and there’s a space for them all. That said great episode and I love the return to this format
Thank you TGV! Lovely behind the scenes of your new war room! Positivity radiates from you and your channel! Now that you are in Philadelphia, maybe it’s time we set up some watch meetz&greetz?
Hugo makes me laugh every time, he could be telling us a sad story and I’d still laugh my head off. Love the new setup, and can’t wait for the next video. Cheers, Conner
Welcome to Philadelphia! I'm just outside the city in the suburbs...hope to see you around. A group of us get together and talk watches and cars on the weekends!
I just ruptured my biceps tendon, luckily not in my dominant arm, and need a good laugh. This intro is priceless! Thanks so much for desperately needed laugh!!! Cheers from San Diego :)
Hugo will tone it down after he has had the Famous one and only "Philly steak" lol, and a little brotherly love will do him well! Great to see the War room coming along.... remember that happiness start within.... have a great one TVG!
Omax fe357 So I have a question that I've asked other people from Philly. (and I'm not picking a fight, It's just a legitimate Question I have cause I'm confused) In Boston we have cheese steak but they make it different , like with quality steak and real cheese shaved off a block of cheese. I went to Philly and we stopped at two different places. One place used meat that had the taste and consistency of frozen steak-ems that you buy in the frozen section of your supermarket. and the other place we went to had steak but it was grizzly low grade meat. But both places used cheese-wiz ! WTF ? You can smell the chemical processed stink without even tasting it. We couldn't even finish either of them . And here is the kicker ! both places asked us if we wanted marinara sauce on them....WTF again? on a cheese steak? Is this a thing? And this was after asking people where the best food places were. Being from Boston, And the new England area, And traveling to New York, Maine, and other parts of the country, And becoming a food snob "FOODIE" most places out side of the upper east coast ,.....well, just sucks, It's about 20% good food, And 70% Mc'Donalds quality of food. and ten % is just "MEH" the wife and I spent a few days in New York city pigging out and didn't find one bad restaurant. The food everywhere was like amazing but in Philly it was like eating at Wendy's . It filled your belly, but you felt bad after for eating it. Did we just not find the good places or is that's just what people are use to. I've got a buddy that moved to North Carolina and says the same thing. they wouldn't know a good pizza if it fell on them and the roast beef sandwiches are over cooked and gray and no good , they are suppose to be red and bloody ! they think Arby's is great ! I've got a friend in Arizona and everything is done Tex-mex style...Everything! all the food has that weird twang. the wife couldn't wait to get home. so that's my question, did we just miss the boat in Philly? and should we give it a second chance? just food thought. wait... isn't this a watch channel? what time is it? I need to eat.
I was thinking of buying the Tudor ref 7934, could you do a video about the Big vs Small roses and which ones are rarer or better for collecting ? That would be superb.
Start withe Verdi and Puccini, search for a compilation of overtures, then pick one you like the sound of and listen to the entire Opera. Don't worry about plot until later, first get a feel for it, if you like the sound and it speaks to you, the rest will follow. Thank you Christian, enjoy it! Best regards, TGV
My brother just moved to Philadelphia. I hope to visit him there very soon! I like your new place. The war room looks even better. I hope you enjoy your new adventure!
Haha, thank you David, Only you and me up this early on a Saturday eh?! ;-) Aside form the DB5, I think I need to get some more Bond related gear in here asap! Cheers, T.
I'm loving that you're loving Philly. I lived there until I was 18, when I moved to the Poconos and got married. 35 years later that's where I still live, but I'm in Philly every year to visit my family. Go Eagles! (Rough year though). Keep the great content coming!
Nice to see the Flighty make an appearace, The new digs look fabulous as well and that Queen Mary model is spectacular. Glad to see you're settling in well. The War Room is back! 😁👍
why do you have white walls? does it have something to do with camera exposure? a nice hunter green would be much more comfortable + less shadows. Love your show, I get it! Father went to Dartmouth RMC
Fantastic War Room! It may look very much like the last but I still like the tour. I love that Queen Marie model, where does one find such a thing and do they offer a Titanic? I'd love to get one for myself cause I'm a Titanic nerd.
Hi tgv I hope that this finds you well, glad to see that you are beginning to settle in in your new home , the war room looks like it’s coming along nicely, keep up the amazing work, proud of you my friend, kind regards O&U Ryan.
So.... what does the ceiling in the War Room look like? I hear there are many starving artists in Philedelphia that would like the opportunity to paint things... Regarding the "Champagne," serve Hugo your "finest House white" which says "MOTT'S" on the label ! Cheers
You read my mind sir! I am curating volume 4 as we speak, it is almost complete. In fact, 60% of it was on the gaming lappy in this video. I will complete it in the coming week and then have it for free download in a video, most likely unannounced, so stay tuned. the reason for the delay is I wanted it to be the best it could be, and bigger than before. Thank you my friend, soon I promise! Best regards, TGV
@@theurbangentry Gov, an idea if you will, would it be possible to curate music-pack. I like the background music used in your videos. I think you used a few in the intros to some of your videos.
I am indeed. I so nearly bid on a whole bunch on eBay and then stupidly forgot and lost the deal. Thank you for reminding me, I am going to look for some again soon. Thank you JW, hope all is well my friend. Best regards, TGV
I used to live in Philly, I know your going to really enjoy the affordability of that town. I like the new war room, much larger. Good stuff. So many good eats there. You have to check out Barclay Prime. Two thumbs up!
roll the DICE Forget department stores. Your best bet is eBay and then double check the price with Amazon. Unless you want an expensive watch and you were going to go to a certified dealer.But obviously they are not in apartment stores. A lot of them are in jewelry stores though. Good luck.
I strongly second Seiko or Citizen. Also check out prices online. You can get fast shipping to wherever you’re staying so if you can find a nice discount online after seeing something in the mall go for it.
What a great space. I despise the term "man cave". It brings to mind an over-abundance of framed sports jerseys and beer merch. I call my space "The Cabinet Of Curiosities" (after a book by my favorite authors Preston & Child). Everything from my books, WW II militaria, antiques and oddities to my table of elements collection and stones You're right.....it's a place to get away and surround yourself with the things you love.
Good to see you TGV, So when will you cover DW killer, i mean Daniel Welignton (dint bother spelling it right) demolisher, i mean DW butcher, i mean DW annihilator, The Casio Saphire? ;)
If that’s the style of gaming you like, you absolutely should check out XCOM if you haven’t already. I’ve only played the first and they’ve apparently only gotten better since. Right up your alley.
Absolutely love the Queen Mary model! Very tastefully done, TGV. Looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for both you and the channel--best of luck!
Fantastic, and as usual inspired me to search and learn 😊. Next time you’re in the UK you should visit (if you haven’t already) the Aerospace museum at Filton. I went last week specifically to see Concorde Alpha Foxtrot, the final Concorde to be built and the last to fly. It’s an incredible experience. A book or model would also fit perfectly within your war room 👌🏼
I just got a hamilton khaki field automatic and am loving it. The h10 movement has a lower bpm but an 80 hr power reserve which is twice the older model. What are your thoughts on the watch?

Hugo is to the Urban Gentry what Itchy and Scratchy is to the Simpsons. He needs his own spin off channel. Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

Hi TGV,
I was wondering what your tag is in Star Trek Online.
Thanks,

TGV -- Can I ask where you got the Queen Mary? Gorgeous!
Hugo rules!
Nice video the room looks great. I do like the two Chrysler 300's, looks to be a 56B and a 60F.
Thanks so much for sharing your new War Room with us , TGV.
Number one life saving tip! Never ever reject a visit...Especially from educated T-REX with british accent.... :-D
Fraiser hahahaha love that show. Excellent set-up you have there :D congratz on the move.
Welcome to Philadelphia! I'm just outside the city in the suburbs...hope to see you around. A group of us get together and talk watches and cars on the weekends!
What was the music that played at the end of the video

Hi TGV. The new War Room’s looking fantastic. Very glad to hear you’re settled in now. Looking forward to your upcoming vlogs. O & U my friend.
What are some good operas to listen to? I'd like to start listening to some but have no idea where to start.
Start withe Verdi and Puccini, search for a compilation of overtures, then pick one you like the sound of and listen to the entire Opera. Don't worry about plot until later, first get a feel for it, if you like the sound and it speaks to you, the rest will follow.
Thank you Christian, enjoy it!

Love the Trintech clocks. What size are they. Looking online at them, I am seriously tempted
What do you think i can get for a Bolivia automatic 1949 . It is very clean and runs great ? Thanks .
David Coleman did you mean a Bulova?
My brother just moved to Philadelphia. I hope to visit him there very soon! I like your new place. The war room looks even better. I hope you enjoy your new adventure!
Lone wolf and cub? I read that back when it was being published by first comics in the 80s! You are a bloody legend. Bravo on fine tastes there.
Great tasteful new War Room TGV! Like the carpet- gorgeous Queen Mary model! Where did the little Stuka fly to ?

Nice new war room, I'm sure you have slot of things boxed up from the move . Always fun to come across things you forgot you had.
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the war room!"
Sweet man, you can always start collecting cool old firearms now that you're in PA! Great addition to a glorious collection already.
