Today is a chockablock full episode on the Urban Gentry!
Join me for a little tour of one of my favorite places in the amazing city of New York, and a sneak peek into how I keep my watches safe. I'm also excited to share my proudest achievements with the Urban Gentry channel this year, and my feelings towards the Explorer 114270 as it has been a year since I purchased it. I share my thoughts on why it has become not only my favorite Rolex, but quite possibly my favorite watch of all time.
I would love to know what your favorite watch is, so please share in the comments below!

Thanks so much for sharing our magazine with everyone. The article will also run in the US edition of Revolution, which will be out in the next couple of weeks, so go out and grab a copy Gentry fans! x

@billmedic1995 6 лет назад

Sophie Furley my favorite watch mag, Revolution. I have been a subscriber since its inception. Keep up the great work!

@joepratt2602 6 лет назад

Sophie: What edition number will it be in? I purchased International Vol 46/USA Issue 81 Spring 2018. What is the USA Issue number? I assume #82??

@sophiefurley2342 6 лет назад

Joe Pratt Hi Joe, It is number 47 and it will be out some time mid July. I’ll let you know when it is out. Best, Sophie

@sophiefurley2342 6 лет назад

Thanks Bill. I'll pass your message onto the team, they will be thrilled.

@joepratt2602 6 лет назад

Sophie: I checked yesterday at local Barnes and Noble.....still the 'previous edition' on display. Any idea when it might show up. Thanks

My favorite Rolex, and the one I own, is the 116600. Now that I've owned this watch for 2 years it's funny to think how I considered anything else. After flying through count-less watches, having left them unfulfilled, it's truly exciting moment when you find your lifelong keeper. A little scary too. Only knowing the flipping of timepieces you wonder if there is life after that. This watch does what the others could not and that is the ability to forget about the watch. The others left me with a thought in the back of the brain, "I really don't like this watch" or "I really wish I had such and such". To forget I have it on my wrist and then check the time, get the time, and then think "wow, I love this watch", and then forget about it again is exactly what I've been looking for.

@smokeybear69 6 лет назад

Got mine (2016 Explorer) just over a year ago (idea it being my only watch ever) and I have come to like it more than ever. My friends thought it boring at first but have come to compliment it over time. It does have stealth and an underlying elegance and quality that only reveals itself over time. A truly magnificent piece, with such a rich history, everything that embodies the genius design and quality of Rolex.

@HomemadeMemes 6 лет назад

Please do a review of the 2016 air King with the minutes and hours marked please because I’m considering buying it

@JustinMiles17 6 лет назад

The Explorer fits you perfectly T. That is one of the few watches from Rolex that I love in its entirety.

@JJherne 6 лет назад

Thank you for sharing the NYC video and sincerely hope you share more in the future. My wife and I are coming to NY later in the year for her birthday so more video and ideas are warmly welcomed. There may even be a watch shopping trip involved... As for Rolex, I'm not a big Rolex lover however the Explorer is by far and away my favourite Rolex and the only one I'd consider owning again. I love the understatement and versatility of it. Never ever sell it - you'll regret it if you do.

@jpdavis6042 6 лет назад

In 1857, Los Angeles was in the Pueblo stage with a pop under 50k. What vision NYC had and the genius of Landscape Architect FLO. I visited Queens this afternoon via the wide screen and John Travolta in Gotti. None of the wise guys had any discernable watches on. TGV, what a classy talented guy you are. Best Regards, JP

@EldritchAugur 6 лет назад

I think these are my favorite type of videos that you make. I know you recently asked about expanding to different forms of content and I think you should consider possibly doing urban exploring type content such as this. You really seem to have a knack for filming in a style like this.

@theurbangentry 6 лет назад

Thank you sir, this video was in fact a direct result of that video you mention. You will be glad to know much more is planned :D Onwards and upwards! Best regards, TGV

@EldritchAugur 6 лет назад

Then I very much look forward to future content on this channel. Also I just checked the prices on the Pepsi and you weren't kidding. You could sell that and buy a brand new ceramic Batman and then still have money left over afterwards. Insane!

@MrPetryks 6 лет назад

@matt1315s 6 лет назад

I have a quote for you TGV. My good friend and Bronx NY native Devin says. A New Yorker that doesn't take the subway is not a New Yorker that you can trust. I'm wearing my Vintage Seiko Skyliner Calender today. On a blue custom leather strap made right here in Bozeman MT.

@theurbangentry 6 лет назад

I love the quote and your Seiko! Thank you Matt for sharing that, best comment so far. Best regards, TGV

@007jjr 6 лет назад

Great video! The Rolex Explorer is THE Bond watch. Befitting the literary Bonds background for hi-quality clothing, automobiles and other possessions. The watch is for those interested in understated quality and richness. No flash, a man that is comfortable and has no need for flash. Bond is ex-military and still has all the habits of a soldier. The movie Bond is nothing like Fleming's. Great piece on NYC. Have been there for business, but never pleasure. I need to take the train down from Boston and make a weekend of it. Again, good show!

@rileychesters16 6 лет назад

Hello, TGV. Really enjoying watching through your videos. (Still kind of new to this) I'm only 17 nearly 18 and I don't exactly come from a extravagant background. But I'm really intrigued by the culture and history of watches, been saving up for some of my own. Really like the way you use your words to express different feelings and even that inspires me to extend my own vocabulary. Hopefully one day I'll be able to become more knowledgeable in these cultures. I hope you'll see this. Have a nice day. Regards, RC

@swissarmy911 6 лет назад

Never really considered the explorer before, but your enthusiasm for it has really made me rethink that position... Deciding between the explorer or an oyster on a black strap for a "dress" watch. My favorite watch though is my sea-dweller 116600. It does actually make me think I will never need another watch. TGV, why no love for subby's big brother on the channel?

@dbonboard 6 лет назад

Beautiful first part of the video. Thank you for that Central Park tour. Amazing tour, very informative and appealing. Museums, explanations, beautiful views and so on. Thank you TVG. My favorite is the Tudor Black Bay fifty-eight. My soul and heart are always fighting: Omega Speemaster Day-Date Mk40 vs Tudor Black Bay. Vintage vs Royal. And then Sinn and Junghans are my second line brands. Of course my SKX007 (my first automatic) and Seiko (generally speaking) is in my collection. Love them all.

@theurbangentry 6 лет назад

So glad to hear my friend. I love all your choices, you have excellent taste in watches. I am proud to have you as part of the gentry! Onwards and upwards. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

@dbonboard 6 лет назад

@TheOneTheyCallRyYan 6 лет назад

Thanks for the tour! I was in NYC this time a year ago. Actually, I toured Central Park a year ago this day. A fantastic French lady guided my family and I. There is so much history there from how it was made to the people who have visited the park. It was one of the best parts of my visit to NYC. My SKX kept me great company that day as well. 😉

@charlesflint9048 5 лет назад

I have to say that my 114270 Explorer is aesthetically the best watch I have ever worn. I bought mine to celebrate my 64th recently, and it is one of my best acquisitions ever (my fiancée Sarah definitely agrees with me, as it is subtle).

@u.u.upatreonrequests8679 5 лет назад

Absolutely love it when he shoots videos outdoors. Nothing like seeing a watch perform in public under national light

@Teachering 6 лет назад

One of my favourite portraits is that of Brian Ferry sporting the Rolex Exporer. We get a glimpse of it in this marvelous video. I struggle between the Explorer and Datejust ref. 116234. I believe it is the simplicity of the Explorer that is most appealing.

@jb6027 6 лет назад

Another historic NYC site to visit would be Rikers Island. Located between the Bronx and Queens near LaGuardia airport, the views are like nothing else on earth and the fragrance of the East River wafting on the breezes through the historic architecture is unique and unforgettable. Pack a lunch though. The local facilities tend to be crowded.

@S700KYFPV 6 лет назад

I never knew New York was so nice and had safe parts. Thank you for sharing. It’s changed my opinion.

@ccw5886 4 года назад

I wear my 39mm MKII. on a grey Nato. It disappears on the wrist and makes an understated piece invisible and so comfortable on wrist. The original bracelet is gorgeous but if you are going to wear this everyday a nato is safe secure and fits the original intention IMHO.

@smr32061 6 лет назад

@matthiasheuberger952 6 лет назад

thumbs up for that little mobb deep nod

@mikec3454 4 года назад

I'm a manager of a bank in Canada, yet I still keep all my watches in my safe at home. A safety deposit box big enough to hold my watches would cost around $200 or more a year. I bought a safe years ago for $250 or so and it holds my 8-piece watch box plus all my wife's jewellery. It's secured to the floor and the contents are insured. Though the chance of total loss is highly improbable, remember the contents of a safety deposit box are not insured. I also like the convenience of switching my watches whenever I want.

@ianwalker4803 6 лет назад

Perfect Sunday morning , breakfast, relax drinking coffee, watching the latest episode from The Urban Gentry. Personal favorite Rolex is the Explorer 2 , one day maybe ….

@justinschmidt4692 6 лет назад

@theurbangentry 6 лет назад

Great Video TGV... Reminds me of the earlier ones when Ernie would accompany you!! Enjoyed looking at the scenery... very nice indeed!! Can’t believe it’s been nearly 15 yrs since I visited NYC.. Anyway enjoy the Explorer Good Sir, & congratulations on the magazine!! BMJ ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@richardt6675 6 лет назад

I grew up in NYC and miss it, except having to take extreme steps to safeguard my property. Rolex YM dark rhodium 40 for classy, but casual and OP also with dark rhodium dial for being suited.

@mehrdadbiglary8202 5 лет назад

I am in love with the Sinn104 and I'm saving money for that bad boy. when i look at the review of Sinn104 . . . oh God i can't speek no more. I hope everyone in the Gentry find and reach their love.

@herbmerced7780 6 лет назад

@artisto0 6 лет назад

My favorite is the OP 39 mm with blue dial, which is sitting on my wrist right now..... Just bought it a week ago... Very subtle and elegant

@miketodd6477 5 лет назад

Central Park's design was influenced by Birkenhead Park in (what is now) Merseyside. The designer of Birkenhead Park was Joseph Paxton, who was also the architect behind the Crystal Palace.

@pipoune91 6 лет назад

Life is so surprising... I've been following you since 2016 from Paris. And now, i live in NY and I recognized my own life through your little trip in Central park :) The explorer is pretty expensive though, 4500 without box and papers and without the modernized Oyster or Rolex rehaut.

@oliverphilipp3963 6 лет назад

I missed a video like this one so much. Love your outside summer talking videos!

@alexlamas6324 4 года назад

I would own the Explorer before a Submariner and I'm HUGE Bond fan especially Sean Connery but the Explorer's understated elegance is exquisite!

@lanceuppercut7436 6 лет назад

Seriously enjoyed that video TGV. Loved your brief show of your part of the world. Very interesting to see. reminded me a bit of the late Mr Bourdain’s take on a city (very sad to hear of his passing). My favourite Rolex is your Subbie, but with the lumed numerals. I’d have your model any day though. “Slow release” is a very good way of putting the appreciation for such a beautiful piece. Bring on more similar videos please! Btw, i noted your Parker Jotter was the same colour as your nato. Nerdy to some but very cool to me. I’m now contemplating a nato in the same colour myself 👌🏻👍🏻😎

@charlesflint9048 4 года назад

I love this watch, I’ve owned the 114270 Explorer for 6 months now, and I think it is absolutely superb; so cool and understated. I don’t live in NY; rather in south Manchester UK, but I do have the Fletcher Moss park ( where the RSPB was originally created), and wear mine there while walking my terrier dog.

@small-differences 6 лет назад

Fantastic, Tristano! I officiated over the wedding of my best friend and his bride a couple of years ago in Conservatory Garden. Great to see it in the video. The Park is a beautiful sanctuary. Could it be time to let Subby go? There’s a video; Signs that it’s time to say goodbye to a watch. 😁

@kaisoerfjord452 3 года назад

The Glycine Combat 7 Vintage gives the EXACT same feeling. Go give it a try.

@DickDigglerIII 6 лет назад

tgv favorite place in nyc, is the being in the bathtub at the Hellfire club circa 1993, on "leather nights" wearing a squalee.

@ctgannon 6 лет назад

Great video. Couldn’t agree more. It’s the least flashy, classiest Rolex. My main watch is a 1993 14270, and unfortunately the tritium is dead but the bonus is pre-95 models have drilled lugs. A fantastic feature for strap junkies like myself.

@kch865 4 года назад

Thank you for this great video. Been a huge fan of your channel. Im from Japan and am getting Rolex 114270 this week. After watching this video so many times, im very excited. ARIGATO!!

@mikesierra2260 6 лет назад

Great video TGV!! I’ll be looking to pick up a copy and read the article. Keep up the fantastic word my friend. Stay classy

@Tobi-cb7vb 6 лет назад

Great video as always Tristano. It was a pleasure to watch. My favourite watch is my Speedmaster 311.30.42.30.01.005. I’m still in love with it and honestly, my other watches didn’t get much wrist time since I bought it. Still, I want that 214270, it’s just perfectly sized and beautiful. Looking forward to your next video.

@Dr1n1an 6 лет назад

Fantastic video TGV. I love these episodes when you mix watches with sightseeing and general culture. Keep it going this way 👌🏻

@johnviano4584 6 лет назад

Hi TGV - Great episode! Thanks for the NYC tour. Nice to see culture related material back in your videos like the "old days" :). I've got to get back to NYC soon. I agree with the Explorer commentary. I finally made the purchase off Ebay but had to return it as it was not in the condition described. Very disappointing but made the decision to save for a new one and hope to have it by year end. Wishing you the best - John

@bobfrombrisbane1831 6 лет назад

Good day to you TGV, this is the kind of video I have waiting for. It was great to see actual street footage of.a place that I will unlikely ever have the opportunity to visit. Central Park looks amazing and I did not realise how expansive an area it is for people to enjoy. Can’t believe you have had the Explorer for a year, I really adore the current version of the Explorer. Congratulations on making it into Revolution magazine. You have shown what can be done, accomplished with hard work and persistence and I use your achievements as a push to set goals of my own to achieve and to keep moving forward and continue to improve, thank you ⌚️⏱🍾🥂

@theurbangentry 6 лет назад

Never say never my friend. But until you make it here, I will be doing lots more! Thank you for the kind words, but also for being there with me on this journey since the very beginning. I hope to one day meet you and shake your hand. Best regards, TGV

@Fret-knot 6 лет назад

Great vid. New York and Rolex Explorers...what’s not to like!? I have a 214270. It is awesome. I’m 6 ft with 7.5 inch wrists. Even then it still wears a little large to be truly classic. Nobody other than we WIS would ever notice the difference but I wish they made it in 37.5mm 😂😂

@esa062 6 лет назад

My favorite of my watches is also Explorer, but Orient Explorer :-) Watches usually wear out because they are run unserviced. When the oil is gone from balance jewels, it may still run, but the pivots grind the jewels. Changing the balance jewels is a job I can do in 30 minutes, so no biggie. Other jewels take special tools and some skills, but still any real watchmaker (not a gold shop battery changer) can change them too. Much worse is if the winding stem is not lubricared. That wears out the bearing surfaces on the baseplate.

@brianasselta9237 6 лет назад

The fellow who designed central park first designed Bushnell park in hartford ct and walnut hill park in new britain ct. Then to create his masterpiece central park in NYC! Thank you for taking us non new yorkers on a tour of those very special places in central park! Love the videos, always great to see your excitement and enthusiasm on watches! Fantastic videoTGV! Hey quick question, are laco watches and doxa watches related somehow? Are they both swiss?

@JoshLevente 6 лет назад

Thank you for showing me the side of the Central Park I haven't seen before. I've only been around the John Lennon Statue. Also, congratulations on your appearance of the Revolution magazine, you've made history not many could make. You should really consider creating your own watch brand, "Veneto 2018."

@JungleEddie 6 лет назад

A couple weeks ago I broke down and went into a Rolex AD to try on the latest versions of the Explorer and the no date Submariner. The Submariner felt a little small for my 8.25 inch wrist. The Explorer looks very nice but it would take a while to adjust to how thin it is. I felt similar with the Oris Big Crown Pro Pilot. As for NYC, I have only been there once in the early 90s.

@blackhawk2475 6 лет назад

Loved your tour of Central Park. Born in Brooklyn and now living in Phoenix, you made me feel as though I was back home in NYC. The subway, and just the old architecture really made me feel just great. Hope I can acquire the catalogue you made reference to here in Arizona to study the watches there-in. Have a great day and thanks for the video. It absolutely made my day.

@syahmirockzgamerz7829 6 лет назад

@barryisland3349 6 лет назад

The Explorer 1 is the greatest watch most people don’t realise they need.. it’s the only Rolex that wears well with any attire being sports or suited.. its an absolute classic for a very good reason and away from the herd mentality that surrounds the brand..

@casillasb 6 лет назад

Loved the episode Tristano, nice touch with the insider advice on Central Park and some great museums. I do get to the city on occasion and if I'm lucky enough to go again this summer will take some time to enjoy the park! Onwards and upwards mate!

@molnie1 6 лет назад

Good evening Tristano, I enjoyed very much your new video and i should say... the explorer on that nato strap (it's like: Oh, oh my! That's nice! ). Also, great footage on the park, a very pleaseant area, no doubt! Haven't commented in a while so I hope this one finds our beloved governor in good health! (Gentle request/suggestion: opinion/review the Farer handwound STANHOPE.) Best regards, João

@fire_watch7735 6 лет назад

The only way to have an objective discussion regarding the 1500 vs. 3000 series movement would be to put them on a watch winder for years and then evaluate the movements using finite measurement tools; otherwise, statements regarding longevity and robustness are simply subjective and anecdotal... Great video👍

Great video! Nice to see N.Y. from your prospective. My favorite Rolex that i owned in the past, was a gift for my 15th Birthday while living in beautiful Shropshire. It was a Rolex Air king, and it seemed quite a nice size, back in those days. I loved it so much. Sadly it was stolen. Loved the show. Thanks for your hard work. And you must be chuffed with that article, in that great magazine! Very nice and well deserved! Congratulations! Best Regards Stuart

I'm really enjoying these vids, TGV. NYC is absolutely beautiful and you did it justice by showing us parts of Central Park we would have never known about or found on our on. I need to pick up a copy of that magazine. Can I find it at a Barnes and Noble?? As always, keep up the great work and thank you for making these videos for us all to enjoy.

@khronokraze 6 лет назад

Your Explorer is a beautiful watch and I can totally see how it's just about perfect. All versions throughout the years look great, however, I do like the newest version with lume including the numerals. I think if you love the explorer that much, it may be a worthy upgrade if you can consider it that. Sorry, didn't mean to add water to that seed already planted in your head. For me, I've grown to appreciate my dad's vintage Rolex 6426 Oyster Precision. Currently wearing today for Father's day. I would not mind the newest Rolex OP 39 or 36 with the new white or black dial. Monochromatic versions they've not done before.. Not in the latest versions of these watches. I am gravitating towards the white dial. It looks very crisp and clean.. Sort of polar explorer 2 like, but it has its own kind white dial. I think it also would be an appropriate modern descendant of my dad's Rolex I currently own and wear. 36 or 39? I think leaning toward the 36mm version. But, at around $5.5k new, it's a bit high for me now.. Maybe wait for 2nd hand or maybe I will just save up for it.. Will see.

Perfect timing for this video I was just talking to my cousin about why the explorer should be his next watch! He's almost convinced but I'm sure TGV will close the deal I just got the polar explorer II but my favorite watch is still my Pelagos and my Sinn 556/104!

The Urban Gentry thank you for the reply!! My day has been made! I hope your Explorer continues to give you many more years of enjoyment (give it keeper status!)
