Tudor's Most Controversial & Underrated Watches + Unboxing A Red Ranger & NTH Catalina
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In today’s video I attempt to catch up with Hugo Mountbatten for an ETA on his long-awaited Daniel Wellington watch review. I also share a first look at the "Catalina" diving pilot watch, which is the first official Urban Gentry watch made in collaboration with NTH.
I then discuss an interesting period of Tudor's history. During the late 1950s and 60s they introduced five new watches with the goal of diversifying and distinguishing the brand from their bigger brother Rolex. Inspired by my lust for a Rolex Explorer 1016, I then unbox one of the most infamous and controversial watches Tudor never made...or did they? Join me to find out!

Hello Gentry! Please forgive the 360p. KZread sometimes take their sweet time to process the video into the full HD I uploaded. Hopefully they will fix it soon. Thank you and have a great weekend, O&U! Best regards, TGV

Best intro ever! lol

Easily forgiving you for this 360P, because you always put out great quality videos every time. The NTH is a fantastic looking piece. Especially the custom back and the lime… Spectacular. I never really “rated” this type of watch, but now I might just consider it. Thanks for posting this wrist watch check.
The Hugo saga continues ! Yeeesssss!
This intro is the best! I keep coming back for it. Could we eventually discover a movie unveiling Hugo's dark side and where everything began? The origin of individual rave partying in the wild, etc.
the alpha M joke at the beginning was perhaps the best niche horology joke ive seen
Loved the intro :0) Thank you for the content on the Ranger, definitely food for thought. I hope you wear the Catalina in the very best of health!
Always a superb friday when you upload a video sir. Carry on!

I do hope you briefly talk more about the Catalina by NTH. I saw it and it certainly gave me pause for thought. Very nice looking. Love the hybrid design. Well done.
always get excited when I see a new video pop up in my notifications!
Love love love, Hugo!! I feel a new line of merchandise coming up !! X
I hope you keep charting your own course mate, humour and positivity are impossible to beat. Cheers

I'm watching this video while wearing the Catalina!!! The wait was well worth it and it's just about the perfect watch! Capolavoro! The channel has shaped my horological journey and im proud to have a piece of it on my wrist. Congratulations TGV on such a special occasion! (Make sure you don't send it to Hugo to review)
Further, that Tudor advisor is a sleek beauty. Great little piece, And one of the things I enjoy about your videos is that you go into the history and the detail of the heritage of many of these pieces. Therefore allowing us to enjoy with greater appreciation what the everyday joe sees as “ a watch”. Please accept sincere compliments and gratitude, sir. Enjoy your weekend.
Really enjoyed that, many thanks so informative 👍
Great intro and video, although I can't get that excited about the dodgy red Ranger. The NTH looked amazing!
Hi TGV! Seemed when you put it on wrist the Red ain’t has a bit too much glossiness to it, but it could be me...... great Intro! Love Hugo!
Very good questions about authenticity. That Hugo is a ghastly chap!
Funniest intro yet! 😂 That Ranger is a perfect everyday, everywhere watch. Happy to see it reviewed here. Hope I get to win the NTH! 🙏🏻
Hilarious intro lmao, great video! There goes my studies for the next half hour, but I don't mind. :D
Great video! If I could have your opinion, what thick replacement springbars would you put on an Orient Ray II? The springbars it comes with seem thin to me...
Great video as always. I personally love the North Flag, an acquired taste maybe, but I think it’s really cool. Would be great to see it reviewed one day. All the best from Bishop’s Stortford, England.
I agree TGV - better safe than sorry, and Once again you show your integrity. It reminded me of something: When I was a boy my father always told me, “No one can take your integrity away from you. Only you can decide whether or not to part with it.” And So I take my hat off to you. Ps. The intro had me in stitches!! I almost spilled my coffee when I saw/ heard Hugo’s dancing. Actual lol cheers from Vancouver.
Very good Video TGV!! This reminds me more to your earlier video, i really appreciate that

@@theurbangentry I think you made the right choice sir! I would rather get a common vintage Ranger that have no doubt or spend a little(?) more for a 1016.
Another smashing good video. :) Regarding the authenticity of the Ranger, I decided to have a look in my trusty "Tudor Anthology" by Alberto Isnardi. On p. 266, it reads "This is one of the most counterfeited models. Various counterfeited dials can be found around. As illustrated in the official catalogues, the logo on the dial is only the Shield and never the Rose. According to the most accepted thesis, the writing "Ranger" is in white color, despite appearing often in red." Looks like returning it was a good call.
Fantastic intro. Hilarious 😂. Looks like Hugo won’t be bothered! Can’t blame him. Love the explorer, and can’t wait for the Catelina review. Happy Friday. Cheers 🥂
Great video as always! I would love to see the alpha M's watch collection trough your eyes.
Awesome intro! Nice Tudor as well, despite its possible pitfalls.
Ayup! Brilliant intro haha love to see a full video of Hugo singing!

Almost got away with faking the red RANGER but despite using the proper font and spacing, the paint was piled up too high. And a red date disc? Total frankenwatch IMO.
I saw that Alpha video when it came out. His own subscribers were ridiculing him in the comments as being a sellout. Thanks, you are what is good about the internet.
Perhaps it's because it is lunch time where I am but I thought Hugo was saying. Tally ho you saucy burgers in the thumbnail. Also love the intro TGV!
The URBAN GENTRY Catalina looks fantastic! Love the 40 mm size... the lume... Just surprised the case is without crown guards...?!
that opening omg ha ha i can't with you that was epic.
Hello TGV, this was a great video, Hmmm This type of situation is tricky and made even more complicated by the age of the piece. I think you did the right thing returning the piece. Roll onto the AP,

That Catalina Watch is stunning! :) That intro was pretty great too. My father is going on one of the legs of the sail boat race around the world and he is wondering what watch he should buy for that occasion, but that is also wearable in other settings as well. What would you recommend? Thanks!
Hugo's been a bad boy! We wanna see the Daniel Wellington review!
The Red Ranger is an interesting one. I had that same feeling when I saw that the magnifier was off a bit. Better to be safe than sorry. I like the Catalina it checks all the right boxes.
Very interesting history lesson with Tudor. Thanks so much,
Your intros are getting better and better!
Brilliant intro, Hugo is having fun in the jungle. I love Tudor, I own a Grantour purchased just at the relaunch for less than 2000€, great watch ! Good decision to send the Ranger back.

Hi Daniel, the Omega I recently reviewed and I gave my opinions then, as for the 58, another great move from Tudor, I love that watch. I might buy one just to review if I wasn't so behind in my reviews. More importantly, what do you think? Thank you, Best regards, TGV
@danielw.6992

The Urban Gentry i love both. The new Omega is a beauty with the waves on the dial. But it costs 1000€ (its around 4400€ and the BB58 costs 3300€) more than the Tudor BB. i think i am going to buy the 39mm for myself as a christmas present 🤔 i think the 39mm version fits better with a casual or a suit than the 41mm version
Wow, that Catalina is simply amazing. Need it’s review! Edit: found the six month earlier video. Thanks!
The Tudor is an interesting watch but from my laptop's screen the red printing did not look in keeping with the rest of the dial. The red looks too new and I would have expected some fading of the red given the amount of patina on the hands and the dial having received enough exposure to the sun and elements (possible humidity/moisture) to turn blue. I think you did well sending it back.

I was looking for that comment. I have never hold a genuine Rolex in my hands, but I restore and repair vintage watches and electric instruments as my hobby and that red paint looks new to me, it even looks like if it was painted over a layer of white paint.
Great work T., love Tudor. You explain in great detail the red in the Ranger, but what about the Rolex Sub? You briefly mention it but I was wondering if you could expand a bit further on how the red sub signature came about with Rolex Subs, is this rare, what’s the story? Best, Diego

Ah finally 1080p! Hey TGV, have you ever thought about giving the Traser watches a closer look? Especially because the tritium vials are essentially the grandsons of the here used tritium paint. The watches are made by the same company who makes thoses tritium vials.

Great Video, you did the right thing. From the moment you unboxed it something didn't feel right. Upwards and onwards Sir 👍🇮🇹
Great show! That Catalina is a classic.
I hope someone won’t mind answering a quick question. I just ordered my first Seiko Flightmaster. I understand the lug width is 21mm. Does this mean that I need to buy special 21mm nato straps? Or can I use a 20mm that just sent quite the right fit? Any thoughts on this, and where I can find a quality 21mm strap if that’s necessary? Thank you! I adore this channel.
Really like the lumed crown on that NTH
Great video. I think that Tudor to be returned is the right decision. It will never sit right with you with the ever looming air of doubt and uncertainty about its true origins and authenticity. Can never truly enjoy it with that pulsating in the back of your mind. You deserve better.. We all should given a similar situation. And, I think your experience and thinking goes beyond a questionable 100% authentic watch, but if you have any doubts about your recent watch purchase and it's just not feeling it's hitting the spot just right or otherwise lacking full satisfaction, save yourself the itch that can never be scratched and return it before you have to go through the hassle of flipping it with the negatives you already know you wouldn't want others to experience.. But, may need to obscure your knowledge and opinions about when trying to sell such a timepiece. And, I have to admit your Catalina is quite a cool NTH/WatchgGauge collaboration.
LOL, the best intro ever !!!
