Easy way for me to pull it off is wearing all black and let the watch talk. It’s the most conservative way a non-flashy person can pull this watch off. I honestly recommend a fun gold watch to everyone.

I love that you take the time to bring Hugo into your videos, not only are they amazing to watch, they are also very funny and pleasing to see, Thank You TGV and Hugo!!!! Much Love to you
Watches aside, the fact that Marcus Aurelius was brought up really makes me apperciate TGV and this channel, cant wait to see the denarii medallion
Smashed it once again tgv and Hugo!
I ordered the key organizer instantly, great product idea. Thanks for the tip TGV

Great video as always. Glad to see you get that spirit back!
Looks wonderful on the blue band, great video! Thankyou 👍
Incredible intro!!!! Keep up the great work, I am always excited when a new video comes up. Stay safe and stay well.
Quick tip when sizing the bracelet: Use proper tools to remove and reinstall the pins like in the video, however, you shouldn't need to use pliers if you're using the arrows stamped into the inside of the watch band for reference since the pins are directional and are meant to be removed one way (hammering the narrow end of the pin) and reinstalled the opposite way with the wider end of the pin being hammered. Proper tools and correct technique are often the only way to do this kind of thing without damaging anything and get great results.
Loved the intro, gives me a smile every time you do something like this. The review was also great although I could never pull off wearing that watch.
Very Elegant stuff. I need to upgrade my EDC for sure. I love the background music and the flask. Buying that gold Seiko SRPD74 today because I love it and you explained it. Thanks mate. ❤
I've got the orange SRPD59K1. I agree with your assessment of this line, TGV. Very nice dial, butter-smooth hand winding. It's also the most accurate watch I own. Fully wound, it runs at around +/- 0 seconds per day. 👍🏻
Thoroughly entertaining and great to see the unboxing
brilliant video, loved it
Another great video, improving with more relaxed ways
GOOD GAWD!!! I definitely can't pull that look off. That being said, it looks FAB on a blue rubber.
Just the style of video makes me want to buy this. Hats off to your skills, sir!
When I saw Hugo in his war room, I thought TGV was finally eaten. Thankfully, he was just kidnapped.

Yes I have been waiting for this for a while.
That intro was fantastic. These new Seiko 5 are all i wanted from the 5 line when they added seconds hacking. This gold one might replace my Sea Urchin as my daily. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on your new purchase, TGV! Always good to have a fun watch in the collection. Mine is the Full-Metal G-Shock in gold. Also, loved listening to you on Power Gauntlet! Very entertaining background on Hugo! Keep up the great work. Cheers from Florida.
I love that you took a chance on a fun watch !
Golden vid as usual my friend!
Just got my srpg47k1 and it's poppin` And that brings collection to 14 😎 Great t shirt watch
The gold 5kx is really nice. I have my eye on a Casio dress quartz in gold for under $40 (MTP-1128). The watch reports are outstanding and the design is quite understated, small, sleek, with great composition. Reminds me of my gold vintage Omega. Always great to visit your show TGV.
Capital video old boy, simply splendid per usual
Thanks to your videos, I got my first mechanical wristwatch ever. It's the Seiko 5kx Suits Style! I love to wear it, and suddenly I'm into watches. Keep up the great work with your channel. Inspiring! Cheers!
Always loved your EDC videos

love that youre moving into more gold / gold tone looks. I need the Rollie day date in my life..
I wasn't super super exited about the new 5s, but man, they are growing on me!
Thanks for the Inspiration
I can NOT go without day date anymore. Period. First criterium that has to be checked when looking for a watch. 💪🙏

i appreciate that you always have a quality piece of cutlery such as the spyderco and the kershaw leek! many watch channels overlook the knives but it’s a big part of my edc... well not now due to college restrictions but you know what i mean :) keep up the droolworthy content TGV
Great review and I just bought one myself. I really love the changed strap with gold buckle. Any idea where I can find one for myself?

Nice pickup and unboxing. I have a couple of 5Kx. The SRPD55 (black on SS) and 73 (Vintage style on Mesh). I am enjoying them both. Nice and easy to wear and I like the day date complication too.
5kx seiko gold ,will officially be my 3rd automatic watch for my collection! Thanks so much for the plentiful review I love the watch very much Yakuza Esk with the Gangster style bezel;)
I bought the DPRD67 with the mesh band and it is grate. Love to wear it as enjoying your Chanel.
Very impressed. Easy to wear this as a dress watch. I don’t normally like a gold dial paired with a gold case but Seiko somehow found a way to make it work. The gothic font really is a winner in my books. Gives the watch a higher level look. The lack of screw down crown is also a plus. I find screw down crowns a pain. I try to stay away from them.

Hugo.........quite frankly he's my hero!!!!!😂 onwards and upwards TGV!!!! A history of the swatch group is the one I'm still waiting for sir 👍👍
Classic Gentry. Awesome
The navy blue band really transforms this watch for me. Great choice. I bet it looks fantastic on the navy nato!
This watch model is my daily driver watch- but of course in the classic stainless steel with a black dial and bezel. Super comfortable and easy to set the time on the go without the screw down crown :)
Very nice, I love Seiko and got one for my 10th year anniversary of living in Japan. I understand the frustration with straps. I also have a thin wrist. What I do is have have one side of the strap longer so that the lock fits better.... It is tricky to find the perfect fit though.
Fico impressionado como você consegue, com poucas modificações, deixar o relógio com outro aspecto 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Tenho que confessar, muitas dessas modificações eu tento seguir. Parabéns TGV por mais um excelente vídeo.
Great colour match the blue dive strap, I used a navy blue Barton elite, c/w the big gold buckle from a Seiko diver SRPA82J1, looks mega! Excellent video as usual, great to have some humour in what can be a dry subject to most people, thanks TGV
Great work...Thanks.
It looks good with the rubber strap 👍🏽 I got the SRPD79K1 and customised it with a little green as it's the colour of my army unit. Such a great watch and the day date is sublime.
Video top. Intro super. Orologio inguardabile. Pacchiano e assolutamente fuori luogo.
Love your work! Could you please do a video on OceanX watches? Would love your insight and thoughts on it!
I am currently waiting on the blacked out SRPD79 to arrive. It may be a touch difficult to read at a glance, but it just feels so rugged and cool. Definitely a watch I will love to add to my EDC. It is my very first diver style watch and my first step up from Gshock watches. This may be the beginning of an obsession.
Leek to the rescue!🗡 That OMG when opening the box is one if the reasons we continue in this hobby. There's nothing like that 1st view of a new watch!
I bought two (!) with the intention of modding them. SKX parts are a direct fit so vast amounts of choice. They are really good value and look and feel great. What’s not to love. More vids like this please.....

Seiko never disappoints !
Brilliant intro as usual.
I have purchased extra buckles to replace faulty or damaged buckles, and even deployant buckles to add a bit (1 or 2cm) of length to a strap that was short.
I was about to buy the orange dial 5KX for a bit of fun too but that Gold is awesome, I like it a lot.
The Seiko 5KX really is a great watch, i own the black dial and stainless steel version. I have tiny wrists (around 6 inches or so) and the sizing is perfect. Even the bracelet is a great fit for its price. I payed just £187 for mine and even though there is no screw-down crown its perfect because when do most people seriously go diving? It is a smart, classy, tough daily wear and beater worthy watch all in one...
You do the best intro’s on KZread...... there great.
Always nice to see a little EDC content TGV 👍. A quality key organizer is a very nice edition to any EDC collection. The gold Seiko 5KX looks pretty good on the rubber strap. Personally I've been eyeballing the SRPE51. Not really a 5KX but the bezel-les, 40mm little brother. Looking forward to the next one! Regards, Koen

Great video and good additions to the EDC my friend. Love that dial colour of the Seiko. Not sure any of the new 5's are on my Christmas wish list. I do agree with you I do love a day date. My Seiko turtle STO and my vintage 70's Ricoh automatic have them, and I personally wish more watches had them. Great video, enjoy the new watch and have a great week ahead. O&U sir

About a few hours ago I was at a flea market. I was almost done looking around when I noticed some watches. Most of them were plain dress Seikos and Armitrons but one was a 100 meter Pulsar diver styled watch. No joke it looks just like this watch. It had the champagne dial, champagne rotating bezel, and was on a black rubber strap. The idea was to buy the watch clean it up and sell it but, since I saw this video, I think I probably going to hold on to it. Great video TGV. Continue to what you. From JP
The best one for me is by far the "hulk 5kx" (srpd61), i simply love that green/blue mixture and a stunning sunburst dial. I adore it as much as the first day i got one. This gold one is really cool too, but i think i would go with the rose gold one, maybe put a.m. president bracelet... Great vid Hug... i mean TGV 😁
Fantastic intro once again, I always enjoy them. Any chance of an intro supercut old boy?
Oscar for the best man's role !!
love the hugo bits!
Never thought of Hugo as a A.Lange & Söhne-guy 😉 The 5KX looks great, especially the dial, it looks great on the rubber strap, nails the essence of a great sports watch!
Love the CF leather goods - I followed your lead and already got the Swanfield cardholder. Courious about the keyholder.

Take a look at bellroy. It's cheaper and the design is definetly better because it's smaller. The leather is great and I have had one for well over a year with no issues. I'm 99% sure CF just redesigned the bellroy keyholder.
Hi tgv I hope all is a well as can be, new edc”s great and the Sekio 5 on the navy strap, looks kinda cool 😎, all the best my friend and stay safe to both of you, O&U Ryan.
Very nice shirt. And the black strap fits the watch very well.
Shout out to Hugo!!!😂👏🏽 Amazing episode as always.
Bit of a big piece, looks much much better on that rubber strap in my opinion. Great video and keep the hugo intros coming. Have a great day Jude
😂 the intro... genius! hahaha loved it
T, Nice job and especially loved the intro with that young scamp Hugo! Best . Matthew
As soon as i saw the keyorganiser on Carl friedriks Instagram i knew it would be featured in your Next edc lol
TGV, could you possibly do a review for the new Seiko SPB151 and SPB153 “Captain Willard” models of the Prospex line?
I like my vintage Seiko 5..... It works like a champ and right on point...... I intend to put a sapphire crystal.... I intend to inquire about a screw down crown option....... Like I said I know people complain about the bracelets.... But this bracelet is really elegant..... I brushed the high chrome finish down a little bit because I felt like it was competing too much with the rhodium sunburst dial..... Now that I've brushed the case down it looks very elegant.... I do love to watch band I love the thinness of it.... I have had Rolex watches and I had to keep forcing myself to try to like it..... The dealer would only give me an eighth of the trade back price..... So I found great joy and just gifting them to friends...... One time I had the Rolex on when I went sailing..... And the band came undone.... I would have lost it had I let go of the rope...... Seiko's give me great joy and keep me on time and they're very easy to read..... I love collecting them.... Thank you for being such a psycho enthusiast....SEIKO enthusiast 🧐🌹❤️🍕🍄
Thank you so... muchh.. thank you very much
I just got a Seiko 5 series delivered this morning! All blue. Really liking it and bonus, chapter ring perfectly aligned.👍 The gold one here is very impressive though not really my style, or maybe I'm not adventurous enough!!
I had a gold fetish in my early watch collecting phase at one point. The pinnacle example being a limited edition Invicta, yes, Invicta, pro diver Chronograph with a rather nice Valjoux 7751, the auto chrono with triple calendar, pointer date and true moon phase! And, it had a gold treated meteorite dial to match, too! It was limited to around 200 pieces and I happen to get 001/200?! (Or whatever the max 200-odd limited edition number was). I took it as a sign to keep it.. at least for a good while. I really enjoyed that watch and it worked great. Not going to lie, I felt like a mini-baller with that at times, lol! Reference Invicta 0212 if you are remotely curious, if not feel slight entertainment value. It is actually not a bad looking watch and although I think it was a larger than what I'd wear now case size of maybe 47mm, they did have a great way of curving the lugs down and keeping the L2L relatively short so that they'd fit on even smaller wrists well, actually. And, the relative small dial size kept the visual weight lower than you'd expect.. or so that's how I remembered it. For under $1k at the time, not bad for a Swiss auto movement with at least 6 complications (date, day, month, moonphase, 24-hour, chronograph-maybe a few more if you divide up the individual Chronograph sub-dials) and a uniquely coveted gold treated meteorite dial.
After a year or so what are your thoughts on this one? I’m kind of on the fence about the bezel, but really wanting an all gold watch and this one seems to be one of the best fits for my 8” wrist.
Your opening is great.
LOVE IT!
