TGV, I’d like to thank you so much for getting me into this hobby. I’m 14 and just bought my first watch, a Yema Superman Quartz. I know its not the automatic, but a broke teenagers budget only goes so far. Thanks again for introducing me to this new world. May your watchbox be full and may your wallet be empty
Well done, Vincent. Lovely watch. Don't worry, there's nothing to apologize for. You are on the right track. I told this to my sons when they were about your age, "A man doesn't usually wear much jewelry but when he does, he wears a watch. So make it a good one. It says something about you." Your Yema certainly says something. Wear it well, be humble, be kind, be generous, and you will go far. Cheers!
Congratulations, Vincent! One thing you'll learn in this hobby is that you should buy the watch you enjoy, not what others want you to wear. There's absolutely nothing with a quartz movement. It's more affordable (up front and in maintenance), super convenient, and reliable. Enjoy your new watch and best of luck collecting.
I recently bought a Yema Superman Heritage Blue 39mm and it has become my favorite watch. It's also cool to have a French watch while most people are looking to get Swiss or Japanese. BTW, everyone should have at least one quartz watch; remember, they're almost superior to automatic in every way. Almost.
Hey, absolutely no shame in quartz watches! Fifteen years from now, you're going to have 5-10 unserviced, possibly broken mechanicals lying in your watch box (and maybe a couple ones you did service and/or are actually running). That Yema though will be humbly ticking away, keeping perfect time like when you bought it, not making a fuss about itself... As long as you change the battery of course. Welcome to the hobby! 🙂
TGV, a few weeks ago: This is the end of The Urban Gentry as we know it. TGV, present day: Keeps on making excellent videos. I thought you were quitting UA-cam, or that you'd make lesser content. This video show the opposite, high high quality. Chapeau!
If this is what he meant by “going back to the golden age of the gentry” than I am all for it. This review blew me away. My faith to TGV is unwavering, but if it were, it wouldn’t be, after watching this. The planet ocean is my personal favorite of the omega seamaster lineup, so I have anticipated this video for a while. I’m over joyed! Good job TGV, and keep it up pal. 😁
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I had been looking at the No Time To Die Seamaster 300, but with a 6.25" wrist felt it was just too big for me. I'm now wearing a black 39.5 Planet Ocean, and it's the perfect fit.
I once walked into the Omega pop-up in SoHo wearing my Planet Ocean. People were so focusing and talking about those Speedies that I felt like I was wearing my beater Casio. This just speaks to how overlooked and underrated this watch is. Needless to say, I walked out of there a happier guy as underrated is what I was looking for. The name is Seamaster, Omega Seamaster.
WOW, such a shame, the Speedy is great but that makes me sad to hear. The PO is a beast and worthy of respect! Thank you for sharing, Best regards, TGV
I must come back and express my gratitude. I had given up on a great modern diver, preferably an Omega, in a size that really fit me well. I just stopped looking. Then I came across this video last year, and I was shocked I had missed this reference. When I tried it on, the fit was amazing. I've owned this watch since last summer, and it is my favorite everyday piece. On the rare occasion I wear a more fitted cuff, I just wear a different watch. Thank you for how useful these videos can be, even long after you've posted them.
I have the 43.5mm version of this watch. I fell in love with that blue the instant I saw it in person at an AD. So elegant, so stunning, and yet so understated. After almost two years of constant wear I'm still besotted. It's tough as old boots, and I can attest to the accuracy of the movement IRL. About once a month I take it off and adjust it by 2-3 seconds. I swear this thing thinks it's a quartz watch!
Casino Royale by far is my favourite bond film, a truly gorgeous and timeless timepiece worn by one of the worlds most recognizable characters. Aside from Hugo of course
Have had this 39.5mm blue model for two years, and very happy with it. Built like a tank, and the short lug to lug span makes it a great choice for us wrist-width-challenged individuals. If it had been 20mm lug width and perhaps a mm or two thinner it would be perfect.
Personally, I think it's cheesy. It kinda sounds like a line that marketing execs wanted in the movie out of some insecurity for their watches. The watch should speak for itself, and Omegas do. I don't know why they needed to spell it out to the audience.
God this intro is fire! TGV, you're such an amazing editor and overall UA-cam Channel! My goal is to eventually own an Omega Seamaster 300 or Planet Ocean one day. Cheers from Canada!
Ok, clearly one of my favorite videos of yours! And I have to agree with others on the production value and editing in this vlog. Outstanding and dare I say you are not only back but you are better than ever!
@@theurbangentry Mission accomplished ^^ i worked with Mads on a Project in Vienna once .. he is such a cool Chap... at the end of the shoot we where up on the Roof of the Vienna State opera "killing" a box of Beers and welcoming the sunrise... most memorable Moment of my life .. .. also .. i really love your intros .. they are so amazing :D ... keep it up ^^
So happy to see Omega back on the channel! The previous version planet ocean was the watch that got me into this hobby. I saw a friend of mine wearing it, and it was the first time I ever noticed a watch, because of how absolutely stunning it looked.
I bought this exact watch (in black) 3 months ago, about 2 days before the lock down hit in England. It has been discontinued which is why it was on sale and I got an amazing discount (over £1000 off, brand new). It’s incredible and probably the greatest bargain I’ve ever found! Great video!
About the bit about using one as a knuckle duster I think you're absolutely right about the fact that the watch itself wouldn't even notice the impact in timekeeping accuracy. You might get a scratch or something in the case but at that point it just becomes one of the many stories you'll have to tell about when someone asks about it. I've been wearing mine daily in not so friendly and "officey" environment and frankly after the first few months when I racked up the first few scratches I really started to love the PO in a way other than as a just luxury watch. It can take beatings and keep strict tolerances while looking absolutely stunning.
For some reason it feels like forever since you did a review like this (i may have missed a few videos though), just feels like a welcome return to form - amazing job. Definitely an underrated version of the Planet Ocean that in my opinion offers better proportions than the larger models.
I have the GMT version of the PO in titanium, so it's much lighter. It is, however, very thick and I would understand some people would not like it. It is very accurate and extremely well built and demand your admiration. I love it and can't wait for its return back in my watch rotation🤓
So this video has given me pause for thought. Waiting on an Explorer 39mm, but this looks very tempting for around the same price. Thanks once again for a beautifully produced video with so much great background information on Omega.
The directing, editing and sound design is not just lightyears ahead of every other 'Horology UA-camr' but the best out of any category of internet content creator I can think of. Perservere and you'll have more opportunities than you can imagine I promise! Watchbox are gonna come begging TGV for reviews but by that time he's simply above their pay grade... 😉
I enjoyed this review really well! TGV, you really done a good job of being objective without leaning towards either side, and i have some point i will agree and disagree: the no-date option (yeah, i agree with this, there should be a choice between having a date display or not), it being a strap monster (i wholeheartedly agree with that, it is indeed a strap monster because of the dial color!), it being a any situation watch (it's a split opinion with what you say because this one is arguable), non-tapering bracelet (i kinda agree with that, but the look of it is interesting), the 19 millimeter lug width (definitely agree with that) and the thickness (i kinda disagree with that because the water resistance and the size of the movement dictate the thickness of the watch, but i will agree that a closed watch caseback would reduce the thickness). Also, regarding you mentioning the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean dive watch in the film Casino Royale (2006) being used by James Bond as a rudimentary brass knuckle in the Venice fight scene at the end of the movie, i wrote a BanG Dream! and Love Live! featuring South Park and the Eurovision Song Contest crossover fanfic, titled: "The wedding day of Sayo Hikawa and Tsugumi Hazawa with Johnny Logan as the priest", in the fanfic, Tsugumi Hazawa break down into tears on her wedding day to Sayo Hikawa after her father forced her to keep her surname because she is marrying Sayo and both of them are female so she have to keep her surname, according to Tsugumi's dad, the decision of Tsugumi's dad gets interpreted by Kenny McCormick as being homophobic and it leads to a chain of events where Tsugumi's dad gets bruised to hell at Sayo and Tsugumi's wedding ceremony by the awesome Jewish motherfucker, Kyle Broflovski, with his Ollech & Wajs C-1000 dive watch being used as a rudimentary brass knuckle, in a true Ian Fleming style of improvisation like in that Venice fight scene at the end of Casino Royale. Here is the fanfic if you want to read it: archiveofourown.org/works/41396907 Edit: Kyle's tool dive watch is now changed to the titanium Stowa Prodiver in lime green.
TVG I Have been a huge fan of yours for years since I saw your Video on the Diver 300. After that video I went to the Omega boutique and bought a blue Omega Seamaster Diver 300. After having the watch for 8 months I had some financial problems and had to sale it. After 3 years without a watch working my way up. I finally bought my dream watch an Omega Planet Ocean 39.5mm Deep Black. Thank you always for being an inspiration.
Also Vostok Amfibia is rated at 200 m WR, but during measurements it cracked at about 700 m depth. Btw I wonder how deep we can take a 200 m-rated quartz watch filled with silicone oil. Maybe a Casio Duro.
TGV solid video I love the fact that you’re getting back to your roots, Is there anyway you could do a video about watch materials being used I would love to know more about the titanium, ceramics and everything else Being used to make watch cases etc what’s coming in the future thank you
Great watch! In fact I liked it so much I bought one. I have a small wrist 16.5 cm, my eye sight is not what it used to be so I got the 43.5 mm so I could see it better. Bad thing is once I got home my wife informed me that the 12 marker and the triangle on the bezel don't align. I called the AD and he said I have to send it in under warranty to get it fixed even thou I just bought it that same day. I'm thinking that a watch that retails for $6,550.00 should not have Seiko level QC problems like this. That said I will wear it for a few months before I send it in to get repaired. Great review.
I’m sure the split with Watchbox hurts financially, but man it’s way better creatively. This is the content that made me stick around and I’m glad it is back!
I've been jonsing for almost forever for several high brow luxury watches but I pulled the trigger today on the 43mm version same color as the one you reviewed. I absolutely love this watch and it will be the pinnacle of my collection for many years to come
Pure class! I've had my PO since 2009 and the only thing that I've ever felt like is missing is a display back. I 100% agree that the watch does an incredible job of switching from sport or tool scenarios straight to the Opera or Theater. Great review!
Great review, awesome produced video TGV! Keep up digging up the good old TUG days!! I bought the black version of the 39mm PO just a month ago and I'm totally over the moon with it! Such a great piece, very underrated as you said. At first glance it looks a little small compared to bigger PO's but if you line it up with an Submariner or SMP300 it fits perfectly! For me with smaller wrists as well this is THE perfect luxury diver! All the best from Germany, Daniel
Thanks TGV. I really love the planet oceans. To me they are much more attractive than either the Rolex submariners or the Omega Seamaster Diver 300 (I personally hate the scalloped bezel and the strange bracelet links). The sub is in between the two omegas for me, aesthetically. My planet ocean is the 43.5 “Goodplanet” in titanium and with the GMT complication. The lightness for its size is amazing (though still plenty heavy!) and it’s a true “do anything” watch that I use for daily work and also travel (or did before Covid). The blue lacquer face is simply luscious and creamy and lustrous and I don’t know about you but I love staring at it. I love the brushed, minimally polished and minimally blingy look and the slightly darker gray of the titanium. Regarding the date, I personally welcome the complication, and I think the apparent symmetry is somewhere in between a no-date sub and a sub date, because the cyclops for me breaks the symmetry much more obviously than the replaced numeral. Again, just my personal perception. My wrists are quite small, but it just fits across my wrist. The new ceramic 45.5mm planet oceans are simply too big. I’ve discovered a strange effect of the aspect ratio of a watch... My first luxury watch was actually more “outside the box” with a grand seiko Hi-Beat automatic, also in titanium. I still love the look of that watch, but it never fit me correctly so I sold it (and didn’t lose a dime). At 39mm it was obviously smaller, but incredibly thick for its diameter due to the display back. It just looked strange on my wrist- the case sitting up proud from my skin, suspended on a shelf of sapphire. This one, though both larger in diameter and thicker, doesn’t have that effect to the same extent. I’ve looked at many other watches since buying this one, and I think I made a mistake buying it because it’s got all the features aesthetically and functionally that I want. XD I’ve looked at Rolex datejusts (36mm is really the perfect size for me), jlc reversos, submariners, speedmasters, etc. Each one seems to be lacking something (whether obvious function or je ne sais quoi). Probably a datejust will be next since it’ll look a bit less out of place on my wrist when I’m wearing short sleeves. Or perhaps a gmt-2 Pepsi if I can get my hands on one, with the “themed collection” excuse. Maybe one day a Patek world timer too! XD I did luck out and find a vintage speedmaster day-date (not sure of the reference but it has the “pump action” date set for timeframe) in my grandfather’s things. I never even knew he had it! It’s been serviced and is now my leather strap /dress watch, so that niche is filled all of a sudden. Damn Omega and their damn satisfying watches. XD Cheers!
I have a serious addiction to POs. I bought a used 45.5 cal. 8500 which I felt was too big for my 7.5” wrist, and flipped it for a used 43.5 cal. 8900 master chronometer. Was happy till I tried one of these on. For me, this is the best of the bunch. Ok, it isn’t slim compared to some other divers, but it is the slimmest of the newer POs, it is comfortable, I like seeing a watch movement and will happily deal with the thicker dimensions. If it was slimmer with 300 m water resistance I could see the appeal, but it is the tough, scratch resistant, magnetic resistant resilience and elegance that is so appealing. As an added bonus, the discount for an AD when I was abroad was crazy. Perhaps the size reduces the appeal for some, but having owned three, this one has proven to be the best for me. It’s an iconic watch in a size that suits most people.
I confess, I'm a "Skyfall" guy, but it does surprise me, that coming out of the Bond enterprise, this model is underrated. Especially as Bond corrects Vesper, and IDs it as an Omega - not a Rolex. My jaw dropped a little. Nice production work TGV.
I own the 43.5mm version in black and I honestly don’t find it that big or heavy? My previous daily was a Seiko Samurai and I feel that is a larger and bulkier watch. 100% agree on the lug width, although I love the bracelet so won’t be changing anytime soon
TGV, seriously mate, you need to do an episode for us video geeks. Your editing is superb. Please, at least one episode where you talk about your editing and filming process. As a budding overland travel channel myself, I am in awe of your professional level deliverables. On the watch front, who doesn't love an Omega?! Stunning watch. In fact, I was just recovering a nuclear warhead when I was suddenly called to a high stakes game in Monaco. I found myself without a decent timepiece as mine had been damaged by smashing some chav in the kisser with it so Hugo, one gentleman to another, lent me his Seamaster... ;-) I hated to give it back, but, you know how it is. Thank him for me again, will you? You're a brick! Kind regards,
Mighty review! Filming, backstory, monologue, choice of watch, music, the lot. There was no way you could have changed your style, regardless of the different circumstances. Keep being you. Take care, everyone!
Purchased mine in the 43.5mm case size and blue rubber strap a few days ago. I worshipped my Pelagos LHD before this. My PO has lost 0.5 sec in 3.5 days. What a beauty!
Missed this extraordinary review and surprised it is now 3 years ago! Have recently had a chance to see this having already owned 116610 and 16700 GMT from over 20 years ago and what a stunning difference time and a little competition has made.
Great video, but I've had watches thicker than this fit under a cuff, so your negative really isn't a negative at all. Thickness is fine. Your Lorier isn't much different. This is, for me at least, the perfect watch. In black, though.
Great video - I've owned this model/spec piece since 2017. What you said is exactly on point. I have worn my daily, and when I mean worn daily, I've spent months with it camping across the outback, take it in the ocean 2-3 times a week and worn it weddings and work every day with business shirts/cuffs. As I don't rotate watches I don't really notice the weight after a few days, but agree it is a bit thick for it's relatively modest dimensions. And personally would have taken a caseback to shave off a 1mm as is a bit chunky. But the engineering/specifications of this is incredble. Never serviced either and runs fine. I've got a few scratches on the polished part of the case, but bezel is like new. One issue I had in the first few years was the He screw came loose a few times, and once I noticed it only as I was stepping into the water! Since then I cranked it super tight and hasn't come loose in 4-5 years. The braclet is a bit chunky but super smooth on the wrist, a screw has never come out and been super robust. And I'm never buying a braclet without glidelock/quick adjust feature. Also when I bought it, came in a unisex style box with red ribbon, while 41 and 44mm versions came in the big 'manly' wood box. Not sure if that has changed or is an issue for you, but did annoy me a tad as was my first luxury watch. This was back in the 'big watch' era, the sales person kept bothering me why getting a watch to small. But glad I stuck to instincts as it is the perfect size for me, despite been over 6' tall. Otherwise incredible watch, probably due for an overhaul soon. Fingers crossed for a titanium version in the near future since that is in vogue and could help the weight situation here. Tried on a new submariner a couple weeks ago, didn't do anything for me, and certainly not $15k worthy. If you like this, get it.
Love the video TGV, highest quality watch content on UA-cam as always! Slight nitpick at 18:00: while this watch would certainly survive a saturation dive and the opera in the same day, the wearer would not fare too well going from 20 atm to 1 atm within a few hours.
So good to see TGV, back to his best. Also, I'm not skipping any adds and hope this will support the channel. Absolutely love this channel, it's just professional and elegantly presented.
A great video. It was James Bond that first alerted me to the Omega Seamaster and ever since I’ve wanted one. On a different subject I hope Hugo doesn’t rot in the slammer for too long. His contributions to your videos are always a plus.
I watched the spy who loved me only just the other night, such a tune! Always brings me close to tears. Thank you Mike, I am playing it loud now. Best regards, TGV
What a perfect watch! Way too rich for my blood, but I'm glad some guys will be sporting it. The height of fashion at my medical facility is an Apple watch, so I'm the only watch aficionado among my peers. How they contort themselves to allow the screen stay on while they measure respirations and pulse is beyond me. I've been wearing a black 39.5 mm Oris Aquis exclusively these days, although I wore my Sinn 104 with a suit recently.
Love your channel! Own this watch and love it. For years I wore watches that were too big for my wrist because it was “fashionable”. Once I convinced myself this was the right size for my wrist there was no turning back. Super comfortable and just an awesome watch.
I love how many of the original vintage Seamasters look less like dive watches and more like dress watches that just happen to be depth rated. Very classy indeed.
Welcome back! Hate to say i fell out for a while, but this video was spot on TGV. Having a decent sized wrist, the 43.5 PO is for sure my next watch. Looking forward to new videos.
I was pleased to see on your wristwatch check that you are wearing the same watch today as I am TGV. I love the early history of the Explorer 36mm and also the fact that Ian Fleming ( some of his ww2 exploits are worth examining) and Bond (in the books) wore one, and best of all my partner Sarah encouraged me to buy mine saying it is the most perfect watch for a man that she had seen (she has taste). I do want a Seamaster like this, it is a beautiful watch with real presence, particularly as I’ve hankered after an Omega with a co-axial movement for ages, but I have a lot of saving money first!. Patience is a virtue.
You are back! More serious (which I like), and better than ever! Fantastic production/editing! Appreciate the lifestyle shots. I love the exquisite detail of your reviews! I even enjoy your transition music!
Thanks for another great video! Having only held a couple of Omegas in my time, the urge to take a plunge on a Planet Ocean gets greater and greater!! The Arrow hands are superb! Omega just seem to want to tweak there designs often to bring an even better product!! Tried on a Pierce Brosnan Omega 300 few months back, didn’t suit me! Actually thought that it looked like the perfect DAD WATCH!!!!;) that bracelet back then ooooooo;) they are nailing it now though! All the best!
I’m trying to think of a reason not to have a very close look at the Oris Baikal , talking of blue divers. A hundred yards away there’s a Rolex dealer with the Tudors in the window. Tough decisions
Great video once more TGV. I do love Omega and like the Planet Ocean. As a blend of history, style, technology and capability it is a hugely impressive watch. It is quite imposing though and I find it personally a little fussy so plumped for the perhaps simpler Seamaster 300.
Entertaining episode. Having handled the watch - it exudes attention to detail and high quality. I really liked it and would take it over a sub hands down.
My first luxury watch was an Omega Planet Ocean 2500 - a superb watch. Owned a few of them over the last 13 years of collecting. I was pleased to hear when Omega announced the 39mm PO because I have smaller wrist like TGV. Not sure I would pick one up now though due to the weight and thickness - about 40g heavier and 1.5mm thicker than my 114060. Omega really does know how to finish their cases, the brushed/polished surfaces are done to perfection. Some of my favourite watches from Omega was my SMP 2531.80 and AT8500 "Skyfall". Can't believe I ever sold those watches in the past!
Great video!!! I knew right away when this video began with the opening and music it was the Urban Gentry!! Then I saw the background James Bond props that he joined forces once again with David Z from the Bond Experience !!! Once again, well done !!! Editing is fantastic!!
Great video TGV. Ice owned 10 variations of the Seamaster and the titanium 42mm Planwt Ocean addresses all of your negatives. In grade 5 titanium Omega was able to produce a finely finished watch with high polish like regular steel watches. Also, it is featherlight weighing 123 grams. It also has a tapering bracelet from 20mm down to approximately 17mm. I've owned 50-70 watches including Rolex, Breitling Grand Seik, Sinn, etc. and this is one of the nicest for sure IMHO.
I am so excited to have discovered your channel I am so excited about watches again i have learned to appreciate my little collection and because of you I have purchased the Hamilton kahki 46 b and a Seiko 5gen and that my second Seiko my 1st was 15yrs ago a gen1 Seiko monster which I put a nato strap on it and totally change the look again thank you for all the knowledge you have shared with us.
TGV, after hearing you might take the channel in a different direction, I must admit that I was a little bummed. I would have continued to follow your channel regardless because I am true fan. However, with that said, I am very happy to see videos like this one. I always look forward to your new videos. They are always interesting, informative and most importantly, very enjoyable to watch. No pun intended!
TGV, I hope that you are keeping well, it is nice to hear your voice and your contribution to our hobby, another high quality content. Greetings from the London 🇬🇧 to the guv'nor!!
Fascinating video ! Probably one of your best yet ! I've been a viewer of your channel since it's infancy and it's been a pleasure to see it evolve .All the best and please keep making the great content :)
Great review TGV. Fantastic watch and I quite agree with all your comments. My only problem with this watch in blue is that the date wheel is in black which I think is a bit cheap considering the cost and all the other attention to detail.
Hallo TGV, this is such an outstanding video in every kind of sense! Wauh!!! I was thinking about a Planet Ocean for so long and you had 1000 arguments, my wrist size is quite like yours and you totally convinced me to buy exactly this watch (blue was set this time anyway...) Thank you so much for your help, I really love your passion for Omega and Bond (even though l own a 5513 as well). You are the one!! All the best from Vienna, George
I only found your channel as I start to research my first watch - a little spooky you've reviewed the fav on my shortlist! Thanks and keep the great videos coming.
Aloha TGV, you have so many great intros with classical, jazz, or inspirational music, and great visuals. Please put together a compilation (30 min? 60 min?) It would be great to have it running while I’m working at my desk. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
The editing on the intro is exquisite. Great Video.
Thank you so much, that was very kind of you to say.
Best regards,
TGV
Really is
Haha I was just thinking that Omega should hire him for their advertising because of the intro
Absolutely!! So much fun to watch!!
As always...
TGV, I’d like to thank you so much for getting me into this hobby. I’m 14 and just bought my first watch, a Yema Superman Quartz. I know its not the automatic, but a broke teenagers budget only goes so far. Thanks again for introducing me to this new world. May your watchbox be full and may your wallet be empty
Well done, Vincent. Lovely watch. Don't worry, there's nothing to apologize for. You are on the right track. I told this to my sons when they were about your age, "A man doesn't usually wear much jewelry but when he does, he wears a watch. So make it a good one. It says something about you." Your Yema certainly says something. Wear it well, be humble, be kind, be generous, and you will go far. Cheers!
Congratulations, Vincent! One thing you'll learn in this hobby is that you should buy the watch you enjoy, not what others want you to wear. There's absolutely nothing with a quartz movement. It's more affordable (up front and in maintenance), super convenient, and reliable. Enjoy your new watch and best of luck collecting.
I recently bought a Yema Superman Heritage Blue 39mm and it has become my favorite watch. It's also cool to have a French watch while most people are looking to get Swiss or Japanese. BTW, everyone should have at least one quartz watch; remember, they're almost superior to automatic in every way. Almost.
Hey, absolutely no shame in quartz watches! Fifteen years from now, you're going to have 5-10 unserviced, possibly broken mechanicals lying in your watch box (and maybe a couple ones you did service and/or are actually running). That Yema though will be humbly ticking away, keeping perfect time like when you bought it, not making a fuss about itself... As long as you change the battery of course.
Welcome to the hobby! 🙂
Quartz is great. My nicest watch is a quartz and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
TGV, a few weeks ago: This is the end of The Urban Gentry as we know it.
TGV, present day: Keeps on making excellent videos.
I thought you were quitting UA-cam, or that you'd make lesser content. This video show the opposite, high high quality. Chapeau!
Omega is a better watch. Made better, looks better, etc, etc,
There is no need for the escape valve! Open the crown on the surface
If this is what he meant by “going back to the golden age of the gentry” than I am all for it. This review blew me away. My faith to TGV is unwavering, but if it were, it wouldn’t be, after watching this. The planet ocean is my personal favorite of the omega seamaster lineup, so I have anticipated this video for a while. I’m over joyed! Good job TGV, and keep it up pal. 😁
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I had been looking at the No Time To Die Seamaster 300, but with a 6.25" wrist felt it was just too big for me. I'm now wearing a black 39.5 Planet Ocean, and it's the perfect fit.
I once walked into the Omega pop-up in SoHo wearing my Planet Ocean. People were so focusing and talking about those Speedies that I felt like I was wearing my beater Casio. This just speaks to how overlooked and underrated this watch is. Needless to say, I walked out of there a happier guy as underrated is what I was looking for. The name is Seamaster, Omega Seamaster.
WOW, such a shame, the Speedy is great but that makes me sad to hear. The PO is a beast and worthy of respect!
Thank you for sharing,
Best regards,
TGV
Good choice, instead of mainstream.
My two favorite things James Bond and watches. Can’t get any better
What is tour top 2 watches you like??
William Stalvey Rolex GMT Master root beer and Omega Seamaster 300m No Time To Die edition
man do I have a channel for you.. ;)
Julian Walss is it The Bond Experience?
I must come back and express my gratitude. I had given up on a great modern diver, preferably an Omega, in a size that really fit me well. I just stopped looking. Then I came across this video last year, and I was shocked I had missed this reference. When I tried it on, the fit was amazing. I've owned this watch since last summer, and it is my favorite everyday piece. On the rare occasion I wear a more fitted cuff, I just wear a different watch. Thank you for how useful these videos can be, even long after you've posted them.
I have the 43.5mm version of this watch. I fell in love with that blue the instant I saw it in person at an AD. So elegant, so stunning, and yet so understated. After almost two years of constant wear I'm still besotted. It's tough as old boots, and I can attest to the accuracy of the movement IRL. About once a month I take it off and adjust it by 2-3 seconds. I swear this thing thinks it's a quartz watch!
So VERY TRUE. Accuracy is staggering on this movement
I have the orange bezel of that watch and the first generation original 42mm black dial version and I love them both in different ways!
Casino Royale by far is my favourite bond film, a truly gorgeous and timeless timepiece worn by one of the worlds most recognizable characters. Aside from Hugo of course
I totally see why, it's such a strong one, defo up there in my top 5.
LOL Hugo! He really should be the next Bond Villain,

Which one...
@@theurbangentry BTW, did you come around to bailing him out?
Have had this 39.5mm blue model for two years, and very happy with it. Built like a tank, and the short lug to lug span makes it a great choice for us wrist-width-challenged individuals. If it had been 20mm lug width and perhaps a mm or two thinner it would be perfect.
What a one liner - “Rolex?....Omega...” DAAAAAAANG!
One bad taste mkt line i must say🤑
Personally, I think it's cheesy. It kinda sounds like a line that marketing execs wanted in the movie out of some insecurity for their watches. The watch should speak for itself, and Omegas do. I don't know why they needed to spell it out to the audience.
He should have replied with "Invicta..." without batting an eyelash! 😆
It was on the Montenegro train ❤️

God this intro is fire! TGV, you're such an amazing editor and overall UA-cam Channel! My goal is to eventually own an Omega Seamaster 300 or Planet Ocean one day. Cheers from Canada!
That intro was beautiful. These details go a long way, thank you.
Ok, clearly one of my favorite videos of yours! And I have to agree with others on the production value and editing in this vlog. Outstanding and dare I say you are not only back but you are better than ever!
What can I say?!??! Mission complete! Thank you so much David, that means the world to me.
Onwards and upwards,
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry Mission accomplished ^^ i worked with Mads on a Project in Vienna once .. he is such a cool Chap... at the end of the shoot we where up on the Roof of the Vienna State opera "killing" a box of Beers and welcoming the sunrise... most memorable Moment of my life .. .. also .. i really love your intros .. they are so amazing :D ... keep it up ^^
So happy to see Omega back on the channel! The previous version planet ocean was the watch that got me into this hobby. I saw a friend of mine wearing it, and it was the first time I ever noticed a watch, because of how absolutely stunning it looked.
THE MOST DETAILED REVIEW OF THIS 39mm I'VE EVER SEEN ON UA-cam
The 39 mm Planet Ocean is a gem. A diamond in the dust.
What an incredibley professional, interesting and informative video.
This is truly the ultimate watch channel.
Most enjoyable from start to finish ⌚👍
Thank you so much, very kind of you to say, this makes it all worth it!
Best regards,
TGV
I bought this exact watch (in black) 3 months ago, about 2 days before the lock down hit in England. It has been discontinued which is why it was on sale and I got an amazing discount (over £1000 off, brand new). It’s incredible and probably the greatest bargain I’ve ever found!
Great video!
The most beautiful watch I've ever seen in your hands here. Period.
To all the UA-cam product reviewers....... THIS is how its done........ visual, history, narrative, professionalism, unbiased. Superb.
About the bit about using one as a knuckle duster I think you're absolutely right about the fact that the watch itself wouldn't even notice the impact in timekeeping accuracy. You might get a scratch or something in the case but at that point it just becomes one of the many stories you'll have to tell about when someone asks about it.
I've been wearing mine daily in not so friendly and "officey" environment and frankly after the first few months when I racked up the first few scratches I really started to love the PO in a way other than as a just luxury watch.
It can take beatings and keep strict tolerances while looking absolutely stunning.
Always loved the planet ocean, and this is so much better for my skinny wrists. Gorgeous! Thanks TGV.
For some reason it feels like forever since you did a review like this (i may have missed a few videos though), just feels like a welcome return to form - amazing job. Definitely an underrated version of the Planet Ocean that in my opinion offers better proportions than the larger models.
I have been in love with this watch. Sadly can't afford it, but soon would love to buy this model. Great video TGV! 👌👍
I have the GMT version of the PO in titanium, so it's much lighter. It is, however, very thick and I would understand some people would not like it. It is very accurate and extremely well built and demand your admiration. I love it and can't wait for its return back in my watch rotation🤓
So this video has given me pause for thought. Waiting on an Explorer 39mm, but this looks very tempting for around the same price. Thanks once again for a beautifully produced video with so much great background information on Omega.
The directing, editing and sound design is not just lightyears ahead of every other 'Horology UA-camr' but the best out of any category of internet content creator I can think of. Perservere and you'll have more opportunities than you can imagine I promise! Watchbox are gonna come begging TGV for reviews but by that time he's simply above their pay grade... 😉
The intro: Whenever marketing people want to talk about watches to non-watch-nerds: "Just compare it to a Rolex. That's the only one they'll know."
I enjoyed this review really well! TGV, you really done a good job of being objective without leaning towards either side, and i have some point i will agree and disagree: the no-date option (yeah, i agree with this, there should be a choice between having a date display or not), it being a strap monster (i wholeheartedly agree with that, it is indeed a strap monster because of the dial color!), it being a any situation watch (it's a split opinion with what you say because this one is arguable), non-tapering bracelet (i kinda agree with that, but the look of it is interesting), the 19 millimeter lug width (definitely agree with that) and the thickness (i kinda disagree with that because the water resistance and the size of the movement dictate the thickness of the watch, but i will agree that a closed watch caseback would reduce the thickness).
Also, regarding you mentioning the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean dive watch in the film Casino Royale (2006) being used by James Bond as a rudimentary brass knuckle in the Venice fight scene at the end of the movie, i wrote a BanG Dream! and Love Live! featuring South Park and the Eurovision Song Contest crossover fanfic, titled: "The wedding day of Sayo Hikawa and Tsugumi Hazawa with Johnny Logan as the priest", in the fanfic, Tsugumi Hazawa break down into tears on her wedding day to Sayo Hikawa after her father forced her to keep her surname because she is marrying Sayo and both of them are female so she have to keep her surname, according to Tsugumi's dad, the decision of Tsugumi's dad gets interpreted by Kenny McCormick as being homophobic and it leads to a chain of events where Tsugumi's dad gets bruised to hell at Sayo and Tsugumi's wedding ceremony by the awesome Jewish motherfucker, Kyle Broflovski, with his Ollech & Wajs C-1000 dive watch being used as a rudimentary brass knuckle, in a true Ian Fleming style of improvisation like in that Venice fight scene at the end of Casino Royale.
Here is the fanfic if you want to read it: archiveofourown.org/works/41396907
Edit: Kyle's tool dive watch is now changed to the titanium Stowa Prodiver in lime green.
Brilliant review, im looking at buying one. Liked and subscribed. Top job, well done and thank you. John
TVG I Have been a huge fan of yours for years since I saw your Video on the Diver 300. After that video I went to the Omega boutique and bought a blue Omega Seamaster Diver 300. After having the watch for 8 months I had some financial problems and had to sale it. After 3 years without a watch working my way up. I finally bought my dream watch an Omega Planet Ocean 39.5mm Deep Black. Thank you always for being an inspiration.
I would love one of these in black. This is my obtainable dream watch.
Omega Seamaster: I have 600m WR
Casio F91W: Hold my silicone oil
Also Vostok Amfibia is rated at 200 m WR, but during measurements it cracked at about 700 m depth.
Btw I wonder how deep we can take a 200 m-rated quartz watch filled with silicone oil. Maybe a Casio Duro.
If I never hear internet watch nerds masturbate about anti-magnetism or water resistance it’ll be too soon.
TGV solid video I love the fact that you’re getting back to your roots, Is there anyway you could do a video about watch materials being used I would love to know more about the titanium, ceramics and everything else Being used to make watch cases etc what’s coming in the future thank you
Great watch! In fact I liked it so much I bought one. I have a small wrist 16.5 cm, my eye sight is not what it used to be so I got the 43.5 mm so I could see it better. Bad thing is once I got home my wife informed me that the 12 marker and the triangle on the bezel don't align. I called the AD and he said I have to send it in under warranty to get it fixed even thou I just bought it that same day. I'm thinking that a watch that retails for $6,550.00 should not have Seiko level QC problems like this. That said I will wear it for a few months before I send it in to get repaired. Great review.
Hello! Another great review, this time with an added envy for those screen-used cards. Absolutely brilliant. Can't wait for Bond 25!!
I’m sure the split with Watchbox hurts financially, but man it’s way better creatively. This is the content that made me stick around and I’m glad it is back!
I've been jonsing for almost forever for several high brow luxury watches but I pulled the trigger today on the 43mm version same color as the one you reviewed. I absolutely love this watch and it will be the pinnacle of my collection for many years to come
Pure class! I've had my PO since 2009 and the only thing that I've ever felt like is missing is a display back. I 100% agree that the watch does an incredible job of switching from sport or tool scenarios straight to the Opera or Theater. Great review!
I have the 300m professional. The sapphire crystal display back is such a nice feature. Such a beautiful movement on full display
Great review, awesome produced video TGV! Keep up digging up the good old TUG days!!
I bought the black version of the 39mm PO just a month ago and I'm totally over the moon with it! Such a great piece, very underrated as you said. At first glance it looks a little small compared to bigger PO's but if you line it up with an Submariner or SMP300 it fits perfectly! For me with smaller wrists as well this is THE perfect luxury diver!
All the best from Germany,
Daniel
Thanks TGV. I really love the planet oceans. To me they are much more attractive than either the Rolex submariners or the Omega Seamaster Diver 300 (I personally hate the scalloped bezel and the strange bracelet links). The sub is in between the two omegas for me, aesthetically.
My planet ocean is the 43.5 “Goodplanet” in titanium and with the GMT complication. The lightness for its size is amazing (though still plenty heavy!) and it’s a true “do anything” watch that I use for daily work and also travel (or did before Covid). The blue lacquer face is simply luscious and creamy and lustrous and I don’t know about you but I love staring at it. I love the brushed, minimally polished and minimally blingy look and the slightly darker gray of the titanium.
Regarding the date, I personally welcome the complication, and I think the apparent symmetry is somewhere in between a no-date sub and a sub date, because the cyclops for me breaks the symmetry much more obviously than the replaced numeral. Again, just my personal perception.
My wrists are quite small, but it just fits across my wrist. The new ceramic 45.5mm planet oceans are simply too big.
I’ve discovered a strange effect of the aspect ratio of a watch... My first luxury watch was actually more “outside the box” with a grand seiko Hi-Beat automatic, also in titanium. I still love the look of that watch, but it never fit me correctly so I sold it (and didn’t lose a dime). At 39mm it was obviously smaller, but incredibly thick for its diameter due to the display back. It just looked strange on my wrist- the case sitting up proud from my skin, suspended on a shelf of sapphire.
This one, though both larger in diameter and thicker, doesn’t have that effect to the same extent.
I’ve looked at many other watches since buying this one, and I think I made a mistake buying it because it’s got all the features aesthetically and functionally that I want. XD
I’ve looked at Rolex datejusts (36mm is really the perfect size for me), jlc reversos, submariners, speedmasters, etc. Each one seems to be lacking something (whether obvious function or je ne sais quoi).
Probably a datejust will be next since it’ll look a bit less out of place on my wrist when I’m wearing short sleeves. Or perhaps a gmt-2 Pepsi if I can get my hands on one, with the “themed collection” excuse. Maybe one day a Patek world timer too! XD
I did luck out and find a vintage speedmaster day-date (not sure of the reference but it has the “pump action” date set for timeframe) in my grandfather’s things. I never even knew he had it! It’s been serviced and is now my leather strap /dress watch, so that niche is filled all of a sudden.
Damn Omega and their damn satisfying watches. XD
Cheers!
Me: I was just eyeing this specific model.
*TGV suddenly does a review.
Me: I’m Sold! 😂
I have a serious addiction to POs. I bought a used 45.5 cal. 8500 which I felt was too big for my 7.5” wrist, and flipped it for a used 43.5 cal. 8900 master chronometer. Was happy till I tried one of these on. For me, this is the best of the bunch. Ok, it isn’t slim compared to some other divers, but it is the slimmest of the newer POs, it is comfortable, I like seeing a watch movement and will happily deal with the thicker dimensions. If it was slimmer with 300 m water resistance I could see the appeal, but it is the tough, scratch resistant, magnetic resistant resilience and elegance that is so appealing. As an added bonus, the discount for an AD when I was abroad was crazy. Perhaps the size reduces the appeal for some, but having owned three, this one has proven to be the best for me. It’s an iconic watch in a size that suits most people.
I confess, I'm a "Skyfall" guy, but it does surprise me, that coming out of the Bond enterprise, this model is underrated. Especially as Bond corrects Vesper, and IDs it as an Omega - not a Rolex. My jaw dropped a little. Nice production work TGV.
That's marketing for ya 😁 I'll bet you Omega paid good money for that line.
Isn't Vesper one of the absolutely sexiest Bond Girls ever? Except for the new Moneypenny, of course
As a big collector of Rolex watches himself, I suspect that he pronounced it ‘Omeega’ was his subtle and rebel way of mocking the brand.
I own the 43.5mm version in black and I honestly don’t find it that big or heavy? My previous daily was a Seiko Samurai and I feel that is a larger and bulkier watch.
100% agree on the lug width, although I love the bracelet so won’t be changing anytime soon
I think I have to come out and say this is my favorite channel on UA-cam.
My day has been made.
Thank you my friend :D
Best regards,
TGV
TGV, seriously mate, you need to do an episode for us video geeks. Your editing is superb. Please, at least one episode where you talk about your editing and filming process. As a budding overland travel channel myself, I am in awe of your professional level deliverables.
On the watch front, who doesn't love an Omega?! Stunning watch. In fact, I was just recovering a nuclear warhead when I was suddenly called to a high stakes game in Monaco. I found myself without a decent timepiece as mine had been damaged by smashing some chav in the kisser with it so Hugo, one gentleman to another, lent me his Seamaster... ;-) I hated to give it back, but, you know how it is. Thank him for me again, will you? You're a brick! Kind regards,
Mighty review! Filming, backstory, monologue, choice of watch, music, the lot. There was no way you could have changed your style, regardless of the different circumstances. Keep being you. Take care, everyone!
Purchased mine in the 43.5mm case size and blue rubber strap a few days ago. I worshipped my Pelagos LHD before this. My PO has lost 0.5 sec in 3.5 days. What a beauty!
Missed this extraordinary review and surprised it is now 3 years ago! Have recently had a chance to see this having already owned 116610 and 16700 GMT from over 20 years ago and what a stunning difference time and a little competition has made.
Absolutely love Casino Royale. The best bond movie in my opinion, has it all and the cinematography is so immersive. Great video
Awesome. I never considered this watch before, now I am.
Great video, but I've had watches thicker than this fit under a cuff, so your negative really isn't a negative at all. Thickness is fine. Your Lorier isn't much different.
This is, for me at least, the perfect watch. In black, though.
Great video - I've owned this model/spec piece since 2017. What you said is exactly on point. I have worn my daily, and when I mean worn daily, I've spent months with it camping across the outback, take it in the ocean 2-3 times a week and worn it weddings and work every day with business shirts/cuffs. As I don't rotate watches I don't really notice the weight after a few days, but agree it is a bit thick for it's relatively modest dimensions. And personally would have taken a caseback to shave off a 1mm as is a bit chunky. But the engineering/specifications of this is incredble. Never serviced either and runs fine. I've got a few scratches on the polished part of the case, but bezel is like new. One issue I had in the first few years was the He screw came loose a few times, and once I noticed it only as I was stepping into the water! Since then I cranked it super tight and hasn't come loose in 4-5 years. The braclet is a bit chunky but super smooth on the wrist, a screw has never come out and been super robust. And I'm never buying a braclet without glidelock/quick adjust feature. Also when I bought it, came in a unisex style box with red ribbon, while 41 and 44mm versions came in the big 'manly' wood box. Not sure if that has changed or is an issue for you, but did annoy me a tad as was my first luxury watch. This was back in the 'big watch' era, the sales person kept bothering me why getting a watch to small. But glad I stuck to instincts as it is the perfect size for me, despite been over 6' tall. Otherwise incredible watch, probably due for an overhaul soon. Fingers crossed for a titanium version in the near future since that is in vogue and could help the weight situation here. Tried on a new submariner a couple weeks ago, didn't do anything for me, and certainly not $15k worthy. If you like this, get it.
Love the video TGV, highest quality watch content on UA-cam as always!
Slight nitpick at 18:00: while this watch would certainly survive a saturation dive and the opera in the same day, the wearer would not fare too well going from 20 atm to 1 atm within a few hours.
Another fantastic detailed horological video from the man. As always learned a lot. Keep em coming ! Regards to Hugo👍
Two of my passions are James Bond and guns but this channel is really putting the fire in my belly to appreciate watches.
So good to see TGV, back to his best. Also, I'm not skipping any adds and hope this will support the channel. Absolutely love this channel, it's just professional and elegantly presented.
A great video. It was James Bond that first alerted me to the Omega Seamaster and ever since I’ve wanted one. On a different subject I hope Hugo doesn’t rot in the slammer for too long. His contributions to your videos are always a plus.
I personally own the 42mm PO in titanium (blue face). Simply amazing. My only complaint is the thickness. But otherwise it’s an incredible timepiece.
To quote Carly Simon :
Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, you're the best
Good stuff.
I watched the spy who loved me only just the other night, such a tune! Always brings me close to tears.
Thank you Mike, I am playing it loud now.
Best regards,
TGV
My favourite Bond movie. Barbara Bach!!!
Interesting piece. Excellent content. Keep up the good work. Regards.
What a perfect watch! Way too rich for my blood, but I'm glad some guys will be sporting it. The height of fashion at my medical facility is an Apple watch, so I'm the only watch aficionado among my peers. How they contort themselves to allow the screen stay on while they measure respirations and pulse is beyond me. I've been wearing a black 39.5 mm Oris Aquis exclusively these days, although I wore my Sinn 104 with a suit recently.
Love your channel! Own this watch and love it. For years I wore watches that were too big for my wrist because it was “fashionable”. Once I convinced myself this was the right size for my wrist there was no turning back. Super comfortable and just an awesome watch.
I love how many of the original vintage Seamasters look less like dive watches and more like dress watches that just happen to be depth rated. Very classy indeed.
I didn’t realize you had merchandise lol I can’t wait to have my coffee in my urban gentry mug!!!!
You are really giving us an additional treat with such intros, TGV.
Welcome back! Hate to say i fell out for a while, but this video was spot on TGV. Having a decent sized wrist, the 43.5 PO is for sure my next watch. Looking forward to new videos.
I was pleased to see on your wristwatch check that you are wearing the same watch today as I am TGV. I love the early history of the Explorer 36mm and also the fact that Ian Fleming ( some of his ww2 exploits are worth examining) and Bond (in the books) wore one, and best of all my partner Sarah encouraged me to buy mine saying it is the most perfect watch for a man that she had seen (she has taste). I do want a Seamaster like this, it is a beautiful watch with real presence, particularly as I’ve hankered after an Omega with a co-axial movement for ages, but I have a lot of saving money first!. Patience is a virtue.
Your videos give a great sense of enjoyment and relaxation. I always make sure I watch them at a time when I won’t be distracted by anything else.
You are back! More serious (which I like), and better than ever! Fantastic production/editing! Appreciate the lifestyle shots. I love the exquisite detail of your reviews! I even enjoy your transition music!
Thanks for another great video! Having only held a couple of Omegas in my time, the urge to take a plunge on a Planet Ocean gets greater and greater!! The Arrow hands are superb! Omega just seem to want to tweak there designs often to bring an even better product!! Tried on a Pierce Brosnan Omega 300 few months back, didn’t suit me! Actually thought that it looked like the perfect DAD WATCH!!!!;) that bracelet back then ooooooo;) they are nailing it now though! All the best!
Keep coming back to this. Amazing introduction. I'm a chunky monkey, so opted for the 43mm in blue. You're videos helped my decision. Thankyou T.G.V.
The whole release of the new Tudor black bay and this video makes me really want to own a blue diver
I’m trying to think of a reason not to have a very close look at the Oris Baikal , talking of blue divers. A hundred yards away there’s a Rolex dealer with the Tudors in the window. Tough decisions
There are many to choose from. The Oris Aquis is a great choice. I chose the Tourby Lawless 42 Blue. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Great video once more TGV. I do love Omega and like the Planet Ocean. As a blend of history, style, technology and capability it is a hugely impressive watch. It is quite imposing though and I find it personally a little fussy so plumped for the perhaps simpler Seamaster 300.
I have an Aqua Terra 39mm. It is absolutely the perfect size and much more comfortable than my Explorer II.
Entertaining episode. Having handled the watch - it exudes attention to detail and high quality. I really liked it and would take it over a sub hands down.
My first luxury watch was an Omega Planet Ocean 2500 - a superb watch. Owned a few of them over the last 13 years of collecting. I was pleased to hear when Omega announced the 39mm PO because I have smaller wrist like TGV. Not sure I would pick one up now though due to the weight and thickness - about 40g heavier and 1.5mm thicker than my 114060. Omega really does know how to finish their cases, the brushed/polished surfaces are done to perfection.
Some of my favourite watches from Omega was my SMP 2531.80 and AT8500 "Skyfall". Can't believe I ever sold those watches in the past!
Great video!!! I knew right away when this video began with the opening and music it was the Urban Gentry!! Then I saw the background James Bond props that he joined forces once again with David Z from the Bond Experience !!! Once again, well done !!! Editing is fantastic!!
Top class review in true TGV form!
How many others have been put into pure consumer mindset after this captivating video?!!!
Great video - stunning intro and review, I've been waiting for a good review for the 39.5 PO so all in all, massive thumbs up from me!
Thank you sir!
Best regards,
TGV
Wonderful and stylish review -TGV rules!
I’ve recently bought a 2014 one in orange 45.5mm and I absolutely love it. Wanted one for ages. Love the video on this, keep up the good work
Great video TGV. Ice owned 10 variations of the Seamaster and the titanium 42mm Planwt Ocean addresses all of your negatives. In grade 5 titanium Omega was able to produce a finely finished watch with high polish like regular steel watches. Also, it is featherlight weighing 123 grams. It also has a tapering bracelet from 20mm down to approximately 17mm. I've owned 50-70 watches including Rolex, Breitling Grand Seik, Sinn, etc. and this is one of the nicest for sure IMHO.
I am so excited to have discovered your channel I am so excited about watches again i have learned to appreciate my little collection and because of you I have purchased the Hamilton kahki 46 b and a Seiko 5gen and that my second Seiko my 1st was 15yrs ago a gen1 Seiko monster which I put a nato strap on it and totally change the look again thank you for all the knowledge you have shared with us.
TGV, after hearing you might take the channel in a different direction, I must admit that I was a little bummed. I would have continued to follow your channel regardless because I am true fan. However, with that said, I am very happy to see videos like this one. I always look forward to your new videos. They are always interesting, informative and most importantly, very enjoyable to watch. No pun intended!
Dear TGV,
It is really a genuine pleasure to see the "old flame" resurfacing again. Thank you for this exquisite presentation and video!
Fantastic video. Seriously. The production, the music, the content/history. Well done UG.
The intro is the best Omega ad ever
TGV may no longer be powered by watchbox, but the quality of these videos remain powerful. Bravo!
TGV, I hope that you are keeping well, it is nice to hear your voice and your contribution to our hobby, another high quality content. Greetings from the London 🇬🇧 to the guv'nor!!
Fascinating video ! Probably one of your best yet ! I've been a viewer of your channel since it's infancy and it's been a pleasure to see it evolve .All the best and please keep making the great content :)
Lovely watch. If you've not visited Moyers, you ought to. Great staff....nice selection of watches.
Intro was mind blowingly good
Great review TGV. Fantastic watch and I quite agree with all your comments. My only problem with this watch in blue is that the date wheel is in black which I think is a bit cheap considering the cost and all the other attention to detail.
Hallo TGV, this is such an outstanding video in every kind of sense! Wauh!!! I was thinking about a Planet Ocean for so long and you had 1000 arguments, my wrist size is quite like yours and you totally convinced me to buy exactly this watch (blue was set this time anyway...) Thank you so much for your help, I really love your passion for Omega and Bond (even though l own a 5513 as well). You are the one!! All the best from Vienna, George
I only found your channel as I start to research my first watch - a little spooky you've reviewed the fav on my shortlist! Thanks and keep the great videos coming.
Aloha TGV, you have so many great intros with classical, jazz, or inspirational music, and great visuals. Please put together a compilation (30 min? 60 min?) It would be great to have it running while I’m working at my desk. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
