What Are The Keeper Watches In Your Collection? Marathon Unboxing, Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Squale 

He was out hunting nato straps.

Every watch that was a gift is obviously an instant keeper. XD

When you said you heard something move, I thought this was going to turn into the Blair Witch Project.

Why are you pretending to hunt beside a motorway?

uuuhhh that bezel action oohhh ahhhh lol :D too dirty for me :) lol

Bro you do have a problem and as a friend I will be happy to take most of all your watches off your hands. It would be a labor of Love

Your grandfather's pocket watch is incredible. Great video Tristano.

Hi TGV... Great video as always. At the moment, my keeper is a Smiths Everest. I bought one used from a professor in the UK and just loved how comfortable it wears on the bracelet. Over four years ago my wife lost her job, and about a year or so later we were struggling to pay bills and such. I pawned all of my watch collection and hers and the Everest was the one I regretted getting rid of. When I started collecting again, the Everest was the first timepiece I bought for my collection. I am so grateful to have it back in my collection where it will stay.

Dec 19th 2019, 5 of the 6 are gone. Haha

There are three watches that I’d call Keeper watches of my collection: 1) Oris Artelier Complication - the frontman of my collection, a not everyday “dress-to-impress” kind of watch. 2) Seiko Samurai - unlike Oris I find it ideal for everyday. 3) Longines LungoMare - a quartz watch that has been with me for 15 years and still looks up to date.

My keeper is my Bulova Accutron Astronaut (circa 1969)

Really great vid, TGV. Your grandfather's pocket watch is amazing! I absolutely loved hearing it ticking. Really beautiful movement. On to the subject at hand. My keepers would be my Sinn 104i, Sinn EZM3, Seiko SARB033, and Seiko SKX007, and the first watch that kicked off this crazy compulsion, my titanium Citizen Skyhawk AT Blue Angels edition. Cheers, Stephen

What an absolutely stunning pocket watch. Incredible piece of history

I love when you do unboxings. You are like a kid on Christmas morning. You get so excited that it's hard to not be excited for you.That Marathon is a nice lookingwatch. A Bit too thick for me though. Yourgrandfathers watch truly is an amazing piece. I'm glad that you truly appreciate it. Appreciation and gratitude are things that seem to be escaping society today. my keeper the seamaster. take care my friend ron

Over the moon?! When talking about the speedmaster? Nice pun old chap!

You said in the video your Frodsham watch is a minute repeater, can we please hear it chime? :D You also mentioned it was a half hunter, did you lose the cover or purposefully remove it?

My keeper is the J&S Watch co. SIF N.A.R.T I got it as a 30 year birthday present and it was my first automatic watch. Really love it.

tgv excellent video & subject as for my keepers: first and fmost my citizen chrono automatic from 1980 that was my 15th b-day present from my father at 35 mm wears nice and is pure class also my first luxury piece I bought new last year a classic speedy and my latest purchase a 1984 two tone datejust I bought from Archie yes Archie believe it or not theres more to mention but thats my core cheers

Interesting vid. My own 'keepers' begin with my Grandfathers 'Smiths' pocket watch (simple, basic, clean - works). After that is a watch gifted to me for my work in education by the owner of a Swiss made micro brand, 'Marine Chronometer'. The owner died a few years later so the 100 watches made by the brand won't increase, unfortunately (those in existence are all numbered and linked to the OP). At there age of 16 the guy who owned there gym I trained in lent me his Rolex Sub for 24 hours... then I worked by backside off and bought one when I was 17. Unfortunately, after many adventures and expeditions, the watch and I parted company somewhat painfully when I was 36 - and now I'm considering purchasing another.

My keeper - my Speedmaster, given to me by my father in early 1969, which still runs perfectly.

Hi TGV, I've got no keepers in my collection. The only exception I would make, is for really sentimental pieces. Like your grandfather's watch for example. If I really need money for vital things I would sell all of my watches. But for now, I would keep my first watch ever, an old Timex, maybe my first automatic watch, a Tissot PR100, and maybe the last watch my father owned, although it is only a cheap radio controlled watch from a super market. Best regards, Claus

Hi TGV Every gentleman farmer must have an opinel in his pocket ! Great straps on the Squale and on the speedy. 2 kinds of keeper watches : - sentimental one : omega constellation - iconic watch : speedmaster Best regards

Your grandfather's pocket watch is beautiful! Maybe a video on this piece is in order? I would certainly like to learn more about the maker and also the royal connection. Please consider a video! Well done, and again enjoyable as always TGV?

Alpina Startimer, Prometheus Piranha, Atlantic Seabase, vintage Orient and Marathon Navigator which is on its way. I had a dilemma whether to buy it, but I decided after your report on this watch on you tube, so thanks a lot mate! I feel that this is a good purchase!☝️💪

the country gentry lol love tgv,what a collection my freind, and the ace in the pack you're grandfather's piece, amazing, pure class, it looks like you are enjoying blitty sir, happy days, all the best Ryan.

Another brilliant video, thanks for sharing. For a good while I have considered doing some basic watch reviews on RU-vid, whilst I could never be as good as yourself this latest video has given me a kick up the backside. I may just do a video response to this one and show my whole collection in one video, I need to pluck up the courage lol. Thanks for the great videos and inspiration.

At the moment I have two keepers. I've not been collecting for that long, so more may come in the future :) First of course my Jaragar H057M - the watch that got me into watch collecting in the first place. That is something to remember, I think. Second is my Casio AQ230A-1 - I found this and got it instantly as my grandmother gave me one like this as a present back in 1987, so I'm kinda sentimental about this watch :) I do have a good feeling about a watch I'm saving up for at the moment that I think will become a keeper, a Tissot Couturier. It will be my first luxury watch so I think it's destined for the keeper status :)

Really enjoyable show TGV, thank you. Cheered me up after a day battling the elements. Unfortunately I don't have anything as sophisticated as the barometric function of your Riseman. There is however a hill behind my house which, if you can see it, means it is going to rain. If you can't see it, it is raining!

Hey TGV, Great video as always. It was your review that tipped me over the edge on the Alpinist. With all the videos it makes me wonder what you do for a living. Keep up the good work.

I have many I wouldn't sell but my true keeper is the hamilton khaki king.

Un Savoyard à toujours un Opinel dans sa poche ! Nice watches and great knife!

My inherited Omega 266 from 1954. My 1939 Kirovskie watch made in the first Moscow watch factory. My 1970s Seagull st5 because of its history and it's beautiful engraved movement I just need to find a see through caseback for it. My 4r39a Seiko given to me by my family 3 years ago. My Vostok Amphibia black scuba dude in the 710 ministry cushion case on its original bracelet. My tough go anywhere watch. But my special special watch bought by me for me because its beautiful. The wonderful Seagull Ocean Star. A gold star watch indeed. Oh and my 2 Shanghai Diamond wind up alarm clocks. My home would not be complete without their calming ticking.

Oohhh ahhh urgghh aahh ooooh look at the size of the package.....It's so Big....Yes Yes Yes...A Strap On...looks so big in my hands..Sounds like an English adult entertainer..but looks like a dirty wizard in the woods....

Just want to ask where did you get the jacket from?

I'm really interested in what kind of rifle you're carrying. The muzzle is very unusual and I have no idea what it could be. Please, could you satisfy my curiosity?

I traded a 90s vintage DateJust for no-date Submariner. I do not think I will ever do that again. I am in search of the traditional ICONIC watches: MOTM, Subby, Navitimer, Cartier Tank, and now the Sunburst Squale (I need to trade the brushed stainless in). Medium term, I am searching for Tudor and Meistersinger. My grail is a AP. As I wait, I bought a Sistem 51 (thank you Federico) and Vostok. I cannot decide on a G-Shock.

My keeper is not worth much monetarily, but is worth a lot to me sentimentally. A mid 90s Citizen Promaster Quartz. Very rough shape, but keeps terrific time. It handled the rigors of the maritime environment perfecfly and traveled the world while I served the US Navy. I wear it quite a bit to this day.

Have you considered wearing hunter blaze orange as a means of self preservation in a hunting area? Just saying.

I wonder what rifle he had slinged over his shoulder?

Great video TGV. Keepers: My Squale 1521, vintage Omega seamaster from my birth year (seriously vintage), Seiko Black Monster (longtime favourite, putting it on is like greeting an old friend), SKX009, Hamilton Valiant, Archimede pilot 42. Maybe my Martenero Ascent. Cheers.

Is that the original case that your grandfathers pocket watch came in? You don't want to get your rifle wet? 😭

What a let down. Saw the watch, the hat, the knife....no firearm check? I'm crushed.

Keepers in my collection are watches I got as a present. They will never leave, no matter what. Other keepers are the watches I bought to commemorate an event in my life (no matter how cheap or expensive they are). In my family it's a tradition to buy a watch when one passes a exam for example or win some kinda competition, did something for the first time, when someone dies that's dear to the heart. So almost everything is a keeper. I have a few watches I try to swap with people to get something "new".

Wow thats a pretty awesome haul of goodies

My absolute keepers are: Orient Bambino open heart blue dial (RA-AG0005L10B) Casio G-Shock Riseman (GW-9200) Matt Arend Mosaique One (MA 424)

hi tgv, great video,thanks for sharing. my keepers are my breitling superocean chrono, omega m o t moon, rolex sub bi metal and longines h c, thanks again, mick

Giving it's proper use in the country mate your right next to a highway ahaha walk a km in any direction and you'll probably find a maccas down the road ahahah

Amazing 7 you have there!! Over christmas I will be receiving an Avia watch from my great grand father as well as an old family pocket watch.

Boy if i could get a Patek.....id be soooo happy

My keeper watches are : 1) Orient Esteem, gold plated mechanics 2) G shock ga100, full black. 3) Orient or Seiko quartz chronograph, not plated steel (now Orient WV0071TT). 4) Casio divers ( now Casio MTF-E001). We can see that being fan of Japanese watches is really nice - every peace costs only from 100 to 180 EUR, with a perfect quality and look;)

that Marathon medium looks awesome!

I have a skx013,,, and am interested in the medium Marathon... Your thoughts ???

my keeper is a riseman, sorry i dont have much cash but i have a couple vostoks too

Wow! That pocket watch is something special! Amazing piece of work

Speedmaster, superocean heritage, subby, kommandierski, mickey ingersoll, accutron 214. Maybe some more, but at the least

never too late to comment, right? i personally do not have my own keeper watch yet.. slight correction.. i have not personally gone out to purchase a watch yet that is a keeper. however, i do have 2 watches that has been passed down to me after my father's passing that I shall always keep. One is a 1967 Rolex Oyster Precision 6426 which he always wore. I have cleaned up the watch and only polished the crystal to rejuvenate it for usr again on my wrist. The other watch is a 1976 Vacheron Constantin Patrimony in white gold. I believe it was a watch purchased for his wedding to my mom. That has to stay. Would like to get it serviced before trying to start up and see if it is working.

Do i see aan Air-Arms tx200 over the shoulder?

The Keeper Watches in my Collection are: 1. My 1961 IWC Ingenieur Reference 666 AD cause it started the Ingenieur Legend. 2.My 1950´s Jaeger Le Coultre Memovox 3.My Heuer Autavia of the 70´s 4.My Rolex Sub 5513 from 1972 5.My Rolex Datejust 6605 from 1956 6. My IWC Ingenieur 5508 aka Ingenieur 500.000 A/h

Fantastic content as always TGV! At the moment, I only really have two keeper watches. One is my Hamilton Khaki Automatic 42 mm (my first mechanical watch) , and the other is my father's 1991 TAG Heuer formula 1. The latter is the watch that sparked my love for watches in the first place. As my 18th birthday is coming up in May, I've been saving for something special to add to my keeper list... Oh so many choices though....

This might be the most pretentious episode of TUG I have seen. And I love it!

Nice collection TGV. I have several keeper watches. In automatics I have two Seiko 5's as they were my first automatic watches. I also have an Orient 3 star automatic which I wear the most because of its accuracy which is amazing and totally reliable and has a wonderful kind of sunburst gold colour dial with a brownish outer ring on the dial which really blends into the gold colour. I took the bracelet off and put a nice light tan leather strap with a gold buckle on it. Two other Orient watches I have are from the JDM which are the Solar Panda watches. Also in my collection are several solar quartz watches which include Citizen eco drives and Seiko solar watches. I also have several Casio watches two being diver watches and a couple of wave ceptors and a Casio Edifice solar chronographs. Also in my collection are two Invicta Pro Divers which are really incredible for the price.A really wide range of watches really which I regularly rotate.

My Father's Movado My rare Swatch watches... My Grandfathers Daytona.... the watches named are all in mint condition, have these watches I haven't had the need to drop big bucks on a watch. I dabble in Japanese exclusive seikos rare swatch and just buying up and coming brands.

I just bought the Marathon TSAR from Long Island Watch and I'm thoroughly excited for it to arrive. I've gone through 3 G Shock watches during my time in the Army. I even had to have one incinerated during my initial CBRN training after wearing it into the facility where we train with live nerve agents. The watch was old and it started to lose time and I wanted to give it a proper sendoff instead of just getting rid of it

Well ..... Some people should not wear caps ?

Probably hold the Sub C as a Keeper but the 216570 Polar is my a Keeper for sure. The watch just wears so well, love the big white dial and the under-the-radar clean looks. The Ultimate Daily Beater.

Interestingly, my current Seamaster Pro Ceramic Black 41.5mm I don't see as a keeper, although I appreciate it. My two Montblanc Meisterstuck pens come to mind as in the "not going anywhere categories". Ballpoint Titanium and Rollerball Gold.

My keeper watch is Calibre 8700 Eco-Drive Perpetual Calendar a hard one to beat. Very happy with it and can be worn for most occasions. Also all sentimental watches :) The Eco Drive is probably my all time best watch in any price category. I chose the blue face. Here are the specs: Stainless steel case with a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet. Fixed stainless steel bezel. Blue dial with luminous hands and Roman numeral hour markers. Month and minute markers around the outer rim. Dial Type: Analog. Luminescent hands and markers. Date at the 4 o'clock position. month scale around the outer rim. Three - 24 hours, day of the week and function subdials. Eco-Drive 8700 eco-drive movement. Scratch resistant mineral crystal. Pull / push crown. Screw down case back. Case size: 39 mm. Case thickness: 10 mm. Round case shape. Band width: 20 mm. Band length: 8 inches. Deployment with push button release clasp. Water resistant at 100 meters / 330 feet. Functions: month, date, day, hour, minute, second, GMT, second time zone, alarm, perpetual calendar. Amazing timepiece - Love your videos, thank you !!!

Great video. I'll have to look into Marathon. What's that subtle camo jacket you are wearing? I'm liking that old chap. My keepers: Rolex 14060 Speedmaster Professional Seamaster Professional Squale 1521 Blue Casio G-Shock Tough Solar The rest of them could have their number called at any given moment! tDS

Why do so many people hate on the Squale 1521?

Interesting how you talk about being a little too young for certain watch styles. About 10 years ago I sold a sub after wearing it for about a dozen years. I got tired of seeing Rolexs worn by all the old men in Florida. I felt the style was getting dated and made me look older and dated as well. I was in my mid 40s at the time. Sold it. Mid live crisis and all that. Lol. Thinking of getting a classic Explorer now or GMT. I like the 24 hour bezel and 24 hour. Good luck. I enjoy your channel. I may have to dig out my collection and share some pics. 1940s Dienstuhr was a collecting point for a time. They have been but away for the last 10 or so years. 👍👍 Cheers!

DUDE! Im way late to this video, what is the watch box in the intro?! Id love to pick one up for my collection.

Just bought my Marathon from your buddy at Long Island Watch Co. I watched this video when it came out and ever since then Marathon has been in the back of my head. I got a job in Aerospace for a US Gov Contractor and ive been a fan of the dial with the "US Government" print on the dial and with the project im working on being introduced to the public this week I decided to celebrate it with this watch to forever be reminded of this special event. I can't wait to have this, hopefully it will be here for the rollout so I can wear it on that occasion. So stoked to finally of pulling the trigger.

Not for nothing, but the box your Marathon CSAR came in was Baddass, much respect from Marathon for delivering such a great timepiece in an impressive bold ass box..

Busting crows with his air rifle

My keepers are: - Rolex Daytona ref. 6242 from 1966 that my wife donated me in 1988 as a wedding present. - Rolex Submariner ref. 5513 I bought it in 1988 to celebrate my first job. - Tudor Chronograph Oyster date BIG BLOCK ref. 79160 I bought on a business trip to Hong Kong in 1989. - Vacheron Constantin Patrimony 18k Rose Gold Ultra Thin Ref. 33093/1, my father gifted me for my wedding. - Citizen Promaster Diver's eco-drive. My current battle watch I wear every day. - I'm waiting for a Marathon GSAR Diver's automatic to arrive that I bet will become a keeper. - Next buy will be a Tudor Black Bay 58, 39mm.

My keeper collection: - Omega Seamaster 300m "Bond" Quartz - Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch - Nomos Club Automat - Nomos Tingente - Squale 50 Atmos The only one I really want now at this point is a Sinn 104 - I am so lusting for one. I should write a blog entry to describe what I like about each watch and what I don't like about each one. Saving up for a Sinn 104. My grail watch is a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller -- some day! @TGV - you just made me get a Squale 50 Atmos and now have me lusting for a Sinn 104 !!! In return - I think I need to somehow convince you to add a Nomos to you collection. With the Sinn 104 + a Nomos (Club automat date, preferably) you have the ultimate German combo - (sport, diving, suit, dress)!!!!

Nice collection and channel....2015 Seadweller 116600 ceramic, 2007 Seadweller 16600 I just can't bring myself to sell the older one which was the plan when I was buying the ceramic. 2004 Submariner LV, Birth year Speedy straight writing with 220 bezel, 2x vintage Seamasters 300 (165.014 & 165.024). The finale is a Tony Saprano Day-Date 18 Kt on president . All keepers but I would love to add am early straight lug Speedy.

Could you make review of Orient Esteem - affordable semi-sceleton watches ?

My keepers are Omega PO chrono in blue, exact same model but in black, Breitling Navitimer black with silver sub-dials, Breitling Avenger 11 Seawolf yellow dial all on SS bracelets. Panerai 01090 on brown leather strap. They all represent periods in my life. Enjoy your chanel 👍

All my watches are keeper watches unless I give them away as gifts. I still have my first watch.( a Hamilton from force 1956, the Benrus that I wore while in the Army (infantry) 1967-69, 1971, and the Elgin from after I got out of the Army ). And, it continues from there.

I should say... two automatic Timexes that started it all. Two decadent- looking square 1990s Fossil watches on lush leather straps. A Danish Skagen piece. But... if I were a one watch guy or could keep one watch only, it would be the Casio „Duro“. The watch I am most comfortable with.

My keepers; Omega Moonwatch; Omega Speedmaster triple date; Rolex sub; Hamilton 923; Hamilton 992/902b/992E, 1957 Seamaster; 1958 Seamaster 35.5mm; 1958 Hamilton 14k Parker citizen ecodrive military.

When you said you heard something to the right, I would have pissed my self, if you had slung you gun quickly off your shoulder and started blasting shit. BLAM ! BLAM ! BLAM ! and then go back to talking.

Couldn't react in your vid about your family, great herritage !! great pictures, something to be proud off. You inherrited some pictures, but what happened to the estate ? Do you have a title ? And what happened to the fortune ? Questions, questions , questions...

also on a different matter entirely and I dont mean to be a muck raker on this but I think Archy is gunning for you now, as some of the comments he made in his latest video, the delcares war one. done in his usual blow out your eardrum and swear like someone stabbed you in the balls tone seem to be pointed at you. although he goes in moods and swings all the time, so give it three weeks and a few more personal disasters and this should blow over if the blowback comes back towards you in any shape or form. hmph and how incredible is it that this is the man I turned to to learn how to switch out my watch bands and learn what my great grandmothers clock was, and I felt sorry enough to give him 10 bucks, and then he turns on a dime at everyone near him. Jeager Le coultre, just Jeager Atmos, complete with the original box FYI, my only real Haute Horology piece myself, like I couldnt Bloody believe it, that has been sitting behind me for 20 some years?! thank christ I broke the other one and not this one by accident with a baseball bat when I was a kid!

Awesome intro😆

Hi again TG. Which model number is your casio riseman ? I saw this in a store a few months ago and didn't buy it at the time and when i went back recently to buy it, it wasn't there and the guy behind the counter had no clue what i was talking about. Any info would be appreciated. Thank's again. Tim.

My small Dugena which i got from my father wenn I was about 12 and my Skx007 which I got from him for Christmas. For me its purely about personal value of pieces and their meaning to me. Watches that have been there at special moments of my life, watches which make me remember those moments.

my keepers:Tudor Pelagos and Omega Seamaster Quartz (love the independent hour hand)

Your opening of the video in the woods, reminds me of Thomgxx100's way of making videos. Was that inspired by him or did you not think about it?

Love that pocket watch. Such a stunner. I just love the look of pocket watches and what started my passion with watches.My keeper right now is my Yacht-Master. Got it as a reminder of how hard work does pay off.

I appreciate your collection. ever considered the mtg g shock?

Going to be in Canada over xmas. Might pick up some Marathon stuff while im there

Excellent collection, I wonder why you prefer the Squale over the Tudor Heritage Black Bay, if the Marathon displaces the Squale would you consider the Black Bay or perhaps the Pelagos to fill it's slot?

Your Grandfather’s watch is so beautiful all hand crafted it even blow your Submariner out of the water wow what a watch not to mention it’s sinnamental Brother they don’t make them like that anymore the craftsmen ship is like wow yea great video brother..

My keeper: 1967 Accutron Spaceview 214 that I bought new in 1968 for $110.00 US.

Oh no TGV, you've done it again. Marathon is going to have a spike in sales. I was already looking into these two exact models of divers and was trying to decide which to get. So now I'm looking forward to the review! This addiction is expensive haha! I just got the 1521 which I'm in love with and is definitely a keeper of mine too.

As I can't bear to part with things I think all my watches will be keepers. Not a problem at the moment but in the future who knows? Also your Charles Frodsham is such a stunning watch, it sounds beautiful and as for that decorated movement....just fantastic!

I've always thought that it was a misfortune that pocket watches went out of fashion. I wonder do you have a Grandfather clock standing 💂 in the hallway.

While I have posted this on many of your Videos, here it is again: Today I purchased my 41mm GSAR Marathon TimePiece. I just attempted to Cancel my order for the 41mm. Once it goes through I will order the 36mm Size. I just hope it isn't too small. I love my 38mm Timepieces. Is 1mm per side that big of a difference? My 41mm has been cancelled and my 36mm has been ordered. If it is too small I'll just return it. But comparing it to my German Made Aristo 38mm, I think I'll be happy with the 36mm Marathon. Please, wish me your best. I am so confused. Just like being in a high speed spin and generating too many Gs. I'm happy to have pulled out of the spin successfully. I went back to the 41mm because I noticed the 36mm wears an 18mm strap and that is just too narrow for me. I guess, God did want me to get the 41mm after all.
