My extreme thanks to TGV and The Urban Gentry family for having me! This video was so great to film, like nothing was being filmed at all. Just two guys shootin' the breeze about watches. Can't wait to do it again.
You guys could do one of these a month where you get together and discuss a couple of watches at the start, then spend 5 minutes or so on industry news, followed by knock off and imitations, where you warn collectors and us public of items and issues you know about. Just proposing...
'... come together ...' Hmmmm ok ok ... if that is your concept ... I'm a non-judgmental type of guy. If that is your focus then that is ok dude (or dudess as the case may be). You don't have to be ashamed of anything. I think there was some mention of progeny in the clip, so if I have got this all wrong then I apologise.
Ha! A chunk of my Saturday night spent with my two favorite watch guys together talking about watches! When I saw this video had been released I poured two fingers of fine sippin' whiskey, roasted a Gurkha into life then kicked back to watch the watch nerds. The internet is magic to make this kind of thing possible, life is great and for a few minutes all is well in my world. Thanks guys, you youngsters made my day.
It was great to see you both together.Your professionalism and watch enthusiasm was refreshing.Marc's Islander Diver appears to be on the money.Thank you both for a great Watch Vid.
This video has given me pure human joy. Just discovered your both channels, TGV and Mark. Onward and upward (and yes, I have seen your May 29 "last" video).
You can image the smile I have while watching the intro and the two of you shaking hands. TUG and LIW are the first 2 youtube channels I watched that led me to a 75+ piece watch collection in 2 years. Keep up the great work, stay humble and more videos please!
Hi, I've gotten myself into watches recently, and you have become my go-to channel to get informed about watches and to keep my latest passion growing. I just want to say thank you for all the work you put in sharing your passion. Keep working hard and have a good day:)
Hi TGV, just coming from a "Watch and Learn" video! I want to say thank you for getting me into watches (and hopefully horology :)). After months of familiarization with the watch history and many brands, today I got my first ever watch to celebrate finishing University and starting a job -- the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date in blue-gray, which is the perfect everyday watch for me. The research is making the whole journey more fun and makes a person appreciate the watch even more, so naturally I would love more history content. For anyone else looking for a watch and the thinking about "high-end" brands that you might never own keeps you from enjoying another watch, go in a store and try those "high-end" watches. You will be surprised how quickly you could discard them after seeing them on your wrist, I wouldn't change my Oris for anything. Keep up the great work. Toodle pip!
Marc is such a good dude. My white dial/blue bezel Islander is my new favorite watch. Absolutely fantastic execution and incredible value! His pilot watch will hopefully be my next.
TGV & Marc - what a pleasure to watch you two interact and casually discuss ur passion. I usually watch both ur vids but today I get you two together!! Cheers.
Always glad to see such enthusiasm and pride for whatever someone has a passion to collect. For decades the old watches from my family made their way to me. I liked them but kept telling myself I loved the new ones. My preferences have since totally reversed. These old vintage watches tell me stories that really grab me. Glad you guys love this hobby.
This was a fantastic conversation. I’ve been a fan of Marc and LongIslandWatch for a few years now. I bought a 38mm Pepsi Islander a couple months ago and I love it! 👍
I love what Mark did with the Islander. I had just finished building my own custom SKX from the ground up with virtually the same specs when he released them. I may still buy one eventually. I've dealt with Marc several times and he's always been fantastic. My sentimental side would love to add an Islander to the collection. Thanks to the both of you. You played a big part in getting me started on my collecting journey!
OMG. The two titans of the on-line watch community in one video. Yeah! And these two gentlemen are decent genuine and positive influencers. We need more of this. YEAH.
LIW is a great value and a huge supporter to our community. I bought a watch from them and i got fast service and good service when I sent in a question. Marc is the kind of collector I like. His collection doesn't chase trends for clout, they aren't meaningless purchases, they mostly have stories behind them or bought when he hit milestones in life.
Great video, TGV! Was great to see you and Mark hanging out. He is who I got my son’s Mako II from. Great guy. Glad to see you both safe and well. Onward and upward!
This was a FANTASTIC video. Two titans. Two people who have had a huge influence on my collection, on my knowledge of watches. Two guys I'd love to meet some day. Between Gentry videos and the Watch & Learn series from LIW, I've become a better and smarter collector. And if not for both of you, I'd have never heard of Squale. Thank you both for your advice, your help, your knowledge. Great video TGV.....I'd love to see more like this.
Love videos like these. Keep bringing out content in general. We’re all in need of it right now! Reviews, collections, new watches coming up, comparison videos, anything!
Two of the greatest on the same couch, TGV and Marc! Lightened up the day, gents. Really chill conversation. Hope to see more of you two talking watches and beyond...
What a fun video. Both of you are true watch aficionados and are very well respected because of this. Definitely kept my attention all the way through. Keep 'em coming.
What a great video! This video is one of the best ones have recently seen regarding watches. Two absolut charming and authentic persons sharing their opinions and arguments. Very well done gents!
Marc and TGV great video. I gotta say: I really appreciate the care these smaller brands(like Marc and his Islander brand) can offer their customers. After deciding to put a timepiece back on my wrist, I ended up grabbing a 6105 homage from Detroit Mint. Dave from DM really took care of me pre-sale, and 2 weeks after my 90 day warranty ended, my crown tube stripped and had issues. Dave said send it back and in less than a week I had a new one on my wrist. I know that I could have gotten a sterile 6105 homage, just like I could find a different skx homage. But the attention to detail won't be there. Thanks for the excellent video, guys.
Seeing you two makes me happy. What can I say? Lovely to see two people share a passion, especially one that I also share. I'm actually wearing a 38mm Islander right at this very moment.
I was waiting for this vid since I saw you two on Instagram. Such a great combo for all watch enthusiasts! And, Marc, that watch is amazing. Those are THE upgrades we all wanted and most of us did on a original. Good job!
Awesome video. I love Mark and the islander. Marks prices are very competitive and if he is a few dollars higher than eBay and other major retailers, it’s worth it to support a good family man, small businessman, and a true watch enthusiast. Thanks TGV. SEIKO IS KING!!!
What a team up! The most trusted reviewer with the most trusted seller (no disrepect to Time Teller, JOMW, Oleg and Bond, Teddy, etc) but I think these guys are the absolute titans of TH-cam watchers.
I got myself an ISL-05, 38mm... so happy with it. Solid watch. The reason why I bought the Islander watch is because TGV mentioned Marc (me having a small wrist but Seiko discontinuing the SKX series going with bigger new models).
@@wristschatz1454 Have the #ISL-13 for a few months now, it's on my wrist as I type. Very happy, and didn't have to think about the watch or dealer. Excellent businessman.
TGV and Mark , I so enjoyed this video. I love listening to people sharing there passions, I can relate to you Mark , I'm a machinist by trade and to me as well as watches they are little machines I wear on my wrist . I love both your channel's .
Great video from my two favorite watch nerds. I’ve learned so much from the two of you, and bought watches for myself and four young sons from Marc. We watch both of your channels together, it’s great to see them interested in these mechanical devices in today’s digital world.
Thanks for the wonderful episode.. two of my favorite watch guys. I've personally purchased watches from Marc, and the experience has always been a positive one.
Two guys I religiously watch, they have taste and unbelievable knowledge. I cannot wait to buy my first Long Island watch.... Soon and glad he delivers what most of us watch collectors are looking for in a true dive watch and that price, I hope he can keep up with the orders cause these should just fly. Nice work and glad somebody put this price point in a quality time peice that you don't have to be rich to afford and appreciate.
My two favorite horological content creators in one episode. It's even like I'm in the War Room in Philly...during a quarantine...What could be better? I was wondering about those Islander watches just the other day. You my have just sold me.
No, Thank you. That was a great show. Best "tv-talk" I have seen in a long time. Made me wish I was there with you guys. It feels like we are old friends. Torn between the Islander 38mm and skx013
I own an SKX007 and a 38mm Islander, both of which I bought from Marc. As soon as I learned about the SKX013, I wanted one. Then Marc said he would do the 38mm later when he announced the first Islanders at 42mm. I waited and I'm delighted with my Islander. I would say the superior features of the Islander make it a no-brainer choice, most noticeably the lumed ceramic bezel and liberation from the Seiko shuffle.
Fun video. I am subscribed to both channels. Both of you guys are super informative and I have learned a great deal. But it was absolutely cool just watch you guys talking about watches very organically and unscripted. There seems to be a real connection and mutual respect for one another that is seldom seen especially in the you tube world of watch guys. As an aside, I would have loved to have seen TGV take out 5 of his faves, thereby making the vid a bit longer. Thank you TGV and thank you Mark.
My extreme thanks to TGV and The Urban Gentry family for having me! This video was so great to film, like nothing was being filmed at all. Just two guys shootin' the breeze about watches. Can't wait to do it again.
Just keep your back safe, Mark. There's too many knives in that studio.
I think I discovered Mark from a reference TGV made to the store so seeing you both together is fun ✊😎🤙
Yeah... Two watch experts... 👍👍👍💪💪💪
Marc, Did you count your watches as you were leaving? Hugo's been up to some mischief recently! 🦖
You guys could do one of these a month where you get together and discuss a couple of watches at the start, then spend 5 minutes or so on industry news, followed by knock off and imitations, where you warn collectors and us public of items and issues you know about. Just proposing...
Marc and TGV: What a great combo. I really enjoy both of your channels. It's great for you guys to come together.
'... come together ...' Hmmmm ok ok ... if that is your concept ... I'm a non-judgmental type of guy. If that is your focus then that is ok dude (or dudess as the case may be).

A couple of the nicest guys in the watch community, great video
And now they both have coronavirus !
@@davidcoleman2463 Today's stupidest joke.
Wow, Marc has legs! Titans of TH-cam watch vids. Learnt a lot, and spent a lot due to both of you.
g g ⬅️ I bet he can walk, too‼️🚶🏻
Absolutely love Mark's channel! I'm so glad you finally were able to collaborate TGV!
I love the unpretentious casual chat about wristwatches by two professionals in their respective fields.easy listening and engaging.
Good work fellas.
"Ok hi guys,""its Mark from Long island watches."

Its like Biggie and tupac collaborating. This channel go hard in the paint.
LOL Best comment EVER!
We should do a remix and call it "10 watch commandments" ;-)
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV

Best wristwatch youtubers combined! That´s amazing! Love both of your channels so much!
Two guys I trust. Thanks, love both your channels!

This is one of my favorite videos you have made. You and Marc are two of the most iconic watch guys on TH-cam and social media.
Oh my god! to of my favorite watch guys together talking watches! You must do it again....so entertaining!
I love that awkward little side shuffle in frame with that cheeky TGV smile. That is the content I come here for!
I love the Islander watches and will be buying one as soon as the Aviator models come back into stock. Great video TGV!
I'm waiting for the same!
Fantastic build quality, especially at the price. I love my 38mm Pepsi Islander!
My only issue is only the Islander logo on dial. A nice "islander" text would look much better I think.
Definitely
@@HunGerMovies I don't mind the logo. I not a huge fan of a lot of words on dials.
TGV & Marc - what a pleasure to watch you two interact and casually discuss ur passion. I usually watch both ur vids but today I get you two together!! Cheers.
Great to see you and Marc together! Enjoyed the video immensely! Thanks guys!
"TGV and Marc from Long Island Watch together? What is this a crossover episode?"
Two absolute legends of youtube watch collecting :D Informative, educational, enriching, and completely removed from snobbery. Love it!
Thanks Marc, for quick shipping of my lovely 30 Atmos to a Chicago hotel back in November.
Very nice having Marc on your channel and supporting his brand. Top notch class. His diver looks awesome I'd love to pick one up someday.
Always glad to see such enthusiasm and pride for whatever someone has a passion to collect. For decades the old watches from my family made their way to me. I liked them but kept telling myself I loved the new ones. My preferences have since totally reversed. These old vintage watches tell me stories that really grab me. Glad you guys love this hobby.
What a wholesome video. Two respectful gentlemen passionately geeking out about a craft. One of life's most memorable moments. Cheers!
2 modern watches gurus, always I want a new watch look for reference with you guys, good video.
awesome to see you together! please make more of these interviews in the future
That interview (discussion) flowed very nicely. 😎

The watch shots were fantastic. Great conversation! Keep these up!
This was delightful. What a great guy Marc is! I bought an SKX from him, based on recommendations in TGV's videos, a while back.
Two legends. This was great. Thank you both.
No, Thank you. That was a great show. Best "tv-talk" I have seen in a long time.
Made me wish I was there with you guys. It feels like we are old friends.
Torn between the Islander 38mm and skx013
I own an SKX007 and a 38mm Islander, both of which I bought from Marc. As soon as I learned about the SKX013, I wanted one. Then Marc said he would do the 38mm later when he announced the first Islanders at 42mm. I waited and I'm delighted with my Islander. I would say the superior features of the Islander make it a no-brainer choice, most noticeably the lumed ceramic bezel and liberation from the Seiko shuffle.
Thanks for your input. The thing is, with these no-brainer choices, the heart takes over.
Fun video. I am subscribed to both channels. Both of you guys are super informative and I have learned a great deal. But it was absolutely cool just watch you guys talking about watches very organically and unscripted. There seems to be a real connection and mutual respect for one another that is seldom seen especially in the you tube world of watch guys. As an aside, I would have loved to have seen TGV take out 5 of his faves, thereby making the vid a bit longer. Thank you TGV and thank you Mark.
