Talking Watches With Reza Ali Rashidian
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- Reza Ali Rashidian is the greatest dive watch collector in the world. Full stop. His name might not ring out like Pucci's does in the world of Daytona, or Goldberger's in, well, everything, but he's as serious as they come. He's so serious, in fact that he, along with Mr. Goldberger himself, produced the amazing book A Journey Into The Deep, which looks at the most important Rolex dive watches (available online in the HODINKEE Shop) in history. It is a staple of any serious Rolex or dive watch collectors library - but what most do not know is that Reza owns every single watch in that book. All 132 pages of it.

When I was 13, my dad gave me a beating.
BJJMark seriously thank you for the laugh .needed it
Oh man, I'm with @Mike Mejia - Literally having a good out-loud laugh to myself... Cheers.
Facts
Wow did you pass that heirloom down to your kids
@@khushique Why yes. They've all been sufficiently "hand engraved."
I sometimes wonder if Rolex takes itself as serious as watch enthousiasts do
Gosh I hope not.
Absolutely not.
@128-192 I'd like to buy one but I can get a better value in a different brand. The one I want is up 2500 over 10 years simply because they steadily raised the price of new.
I think if they did, they might fall into the trap of catering to the current wants and needs of their clients. Brands should always look ahead, beyond what people expect or desire.
It doesn’t
FINALLY a rich guy that loves vintage Rolex
Ahahahaha
Lol, and now for something completely different , definitely some cool pieces though
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
There’s just not enough
May I suggest he add a Rolex to his watch collection.
lmao
No no no, a Rolex.
Which one they are all so different?
Yeah he needs a James Cameron Sea Dweller to complete his collection
@@ieeeee3728 Why Iranian are dirty?
This guys got more stock than most Rolex boutiques
Lol, he's litterally is sitting with the total Rolex steel dive watch production since '53
When I was 13 I was gifted a "The Rock" WWE action figure. With the permanent eyebrow and belt. There's no way anyone could smell what I was cooking. Jabroni.
“Whats your first watch?” This rolex.... oh for fucks sake 😂
rolex used to be way way cheaper.
@@tryitout-701 Not /that/ cheap
And he was 13...
Being 13 and being given a (in his words) a pinnacle watch is barmy. It would ruin your appreciation for anything below that for ever!
Imagine having a Rolex at 13.
A customer of mine who I'm doing a speedboat for popped in last week on his way back from College ! hes 18.
On his wrist he had a 2018 Rolex oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master in Rose Gold (rubber strap)!!! It stopped me in mid conversation about his boat..he said his dad gave it to him.Hes a very humble a nice chap But TBH it made me feel like crap! I work very very hard for myself ,and he has a 26k plus watch just as a gift.. it was stunning tho. Hopefully i can do the same for my son one day.
Mercedes mad you will own one, even more the time will come always be patient and always be happy with what you own, there’s always something you have that others wish they have, good luck woth what you’re doing brother
@@TheWayofGrace89 Thank you. Appreciate the kind words
@@3essaTV Thank you, I think it's because I'm hitting 40 tomorrow.. That time in my life where you question everything
I was 18 when I bought my Submariner. Saved and paid for it myself.
I like this guy ... I don’t know who he is ... but he seems pretty dope
more like tasteless and unoriginal
@@danielpalacios5124 how on earth did you reach that conclusion?
@@danielpalacios5124 Taste is in the eyes of the beholder. There's a reason why Rolex is so established, they make amazing watches for a very long time. You don't need to be original, let him like whatever he wants.
@@GangBlud Lol the saying is *beauty* is in the eye of the beholder. One's collective interpretations of beauty comprises their taste. You can have shit taste and still consider what you like to be beautiful but taste is for others to rate, hence phrases like "he's got good taste" or "she has a bad taste in music". Also your following sentence equally doesn't make sense...I think you meant to say Rolex *made* amazing bla bla, your current sentence basically says that it takes them a long time to make watches (which also is incorrect lol as they're notorious for their high production volume). Not sure if English isn't your native language or what, but yeah don't be basic.
@@danielpalacios5124 Taste is inherently objective. However, the difference is in comparative experiences. If one has seen 10.000 watches, that person will have a better understanding of watches and could better evaluate them. But, that does not change the fact that he thinks that it is beautiful.
I'm pretty sure that sentence does make sense though. But I should have used started a new sentence.
There's a reason why the Submariner is so popular and that thousands of other brands have copied the design of it, it's a beautiful watch. That's a fact.
Welcome to another episode of talking rolexes.
A. B. Operative word being made
Rolex is literally the most overrated brand in the history of watch. I can understand having some, but I can't understand calling yourself a "watch enthusiast" and having only rolex lmao
I thought John Mayer had too many Rolexes
Dalton Woods no such a thing as too many rolexes
I'm glad he's "happy" with his collection and doesn't have a further grail. Dude's got it all. Cool that he realizes it.
PR Mallory A watch collector with no grail-watch left: what a nightmare
PR Mallory well said
@@kblonden imo that's the peak that any watch enthusiasts could reach, a watch that has it all and you can feel it all wearing it, everything else would be redundant because why would buy another when that's the one that makes you happy, makes you think "wow that is the most beautiful thing i've seen today" every time you look at it
How is this not a 30-minute episode?
T D gotta buy that book for $800 to see them all
@128-192 do you also think seikos are better?
@128-192 Best comment ever!
@@cameronz717 do u like the herd mentality?
@@internettroll7497 nah. I do like subs though
My first reaction was meh. Another Hodinkee video with vintage Rolex. Then I watched it all, wowzer. What a collection, and what a fascinating guy.
100% the same. The content gets super old after a while, but this guy was really well spoken and interesting.
The gentleman’s depth of knowledge and passion for these is remarkable. He is a worthy curator of this wonderful museum of watches and keeper of history. He is up there with the folks who collect vintage Speedmaster, Timex , Seiko’s and Soviet watches in terms of passion and knowledge for such esoteric subject matter.
Would you like a side of Rolex with your Rolex?
No wonder it's so difficult to buy submariner these days. He bought them all
This is so calming. Their voices, the music and the cinematography are just lovely.
This made my evening..
I always get a Buzz when a notification about a new new Talking Watches pops up.
Thank you.
That milsub is something else, one of my favorite vintage sports watches with a great story that makes it even more unique
Great episode as always
I would love to see a female collector featured!!
What a great idea!
Ellen DeGeneres!
Felicity Kendal 🙌🏻
@@erikv1974 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Finally, a Rolex collector!
Never seen that before....
LoL
Hope we'll get a vintage Patek collector soon!
ROLEX: which rolex would you like
RASHIIDIAN: yes
Amazing collection of vintage Rolexes, just like all the other previous episodes.
Marcello Hahahaha every episode. Abundance of Rolex’s or Pateks
A V10 all of us would buy a ton of Rolexs and pateks if we had the money
I can smell where all the Subs for the Submariner Reference Points came from
This guy's sounds a bit like Anton Chigurh talking about watches...
RSB call it!
Yes exactly. But he’s so cool
I agree..
I was looking for this EXACT comment.
RSB You nailed it. That’s the first thing I thought.
Im sure his wife is like: OMG why do you have to have so many of the same watches?!?!?!?! LOL LOL
To her knowledge, he only has one black-dialed Rolex. ;-)
Seems to me she's probably too busy rolling in all the cash this guy's making to give two $#!ts about his hobbies
Lol
which pales in comparison to her purse and shoe collection.
@@JCW80 Anything less than 100% accountability, you actually think a rich gold-digging bitch will just ignore? Haha you obviously never been married.
this is fucking nuts. awesome awesome collection and cool to show how on-theme a collection can be!
Never clicked so fast!
Same here
I wonder what is the total amount of money on this table And is this the most expensive collection ever on Hodinkee
I had a Son Goku Dragon Ball Plastic Chinese watch at the age of 13. Took it with me in the water and cryed myself to sleep after noticing it died.
This is an amazing collection. But I still can’t take my eyes of Ben’s Aquanaut. It’s just such a sleek yet blingy piece. I absolutely love it.
AFTER BINGE WATCHING ALL OTHER EPISODES, FINALLY A NEW ONE.
Amazing as always, production quality is extraordinary. Reza is a cool gentleman with an amazing collection.
He needs an SKX007 😏 ⌚️
Ok, but does he have an MVMT?
Wow, what a collection, those watches are awesome, just love the drive and enthusiasm to track down each watch, all those different Pat Pending, the dial progression, superb. Thanks for sharing.
Again.....more of the same...Rolex submariner.....Nice collection but how many Submariners can viewers stomach.
A collection of submariners😴
Ben has a serious addiction to winding watches .....
Very nice, really. But, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... you don't point to a watch and say "And this guy..." because watches are vehicles of carriage, and female in nature.
When He was 13 Rolex was Affordable, just like Seiko today..Now they charge insane money for their watches which cost less than $300 bucks to make, Why , Because they can, and poor fckers will buy to look rich .May I suggest Aquanaut to this collector..
I have a rare, discontinued, 2019 114060 on my wrist as I read this.
Reza, if you're reading this and spluttering out your coffee: yes, some 114060s have survived, despite all evidence to the contrary, but alas no, it's not for sale.
That is some collection! I think if I had that kind of money though I would have more variety from many brands and not just one! 🤓
Yes but I think this guy just buy the most difficult ones, he must have a very high reputation amongst top collectors I think 🤔 he likes competition he says.
I have never seen a more boring collection. Love them all - but how can you ignore the beauty of all the other brands and models than subs? Sorry buddy.
Super like to this guy
How much was this watch? “Oh it was the most expensive watch in the world “
Wow another Rolex collection...Very unique for a wealthy white guy :)
Thank you rich people with fancy watch collections. You guys add meaning and hope to our lives?
First Watch...Rolex Oyster with 13 :-D
Honestly we need at least an hour plus with this gentleman.
Always love talking watches episodes
Fantastic video, excellent content!
Who's father buys them a Rolex at age 13? That is so wild to me
They are the rarest of birds, the rich baby-boomer collector of Rolex watches.
Damn, I really want a Steinhart now.
When I was 13 ... I’m still dreaming on getting my hands on submariner...
That first Rolex half dome is very representative of our world. ;-)
It would actually be nice to see a more diverse collection or someone collecting Vacheron or JLC. Yes Rolex is a great brand ... but it’s getting quite repetitive.
Rolex... so predictable and boring ;-)
Love hearing his excitement for all of his Watches!
Rolex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not much for vintage, but this is obviously an amazing collection. HOWEVER, no way to top this with more Rolexes so let's get some more Indy watches on Talking Watches! ;)
im 28 now still waiting for my rolex date
That watch is not the original one that went down with the sub
Great video Hodinkee! I'm quite sure this gentleman is grateful as well to have his collection immortalized this way by non other than Hodinkee! Great collection Reza!
First time I'm not disappointed to see a Rolex only collection, since the focus and the theme show passion and interest, not just the goal of hoarding expensive watches for expensiveness' sake.
Oh great another Rolex collection .. *sigh*
WTF They all look the same.
wondering where all the subs went....
RELEASE THE HOSTAGES
Why doesn't he have a Rolex in his collection? Would have made it sooo much better 😂
Talking Rolexes
People really have Rolex as first watch😮
Actually The 1ST Luxury Watch.
A Rolex at 13, lucky guy!
enough with the Rolex already!
Agreed
Totally agree with you! It's so boring just seeing the same thing!
Beg to differ, true enthusiasts appreciate rolex regardless the preference. I guess haters will hate
@@花旗陳冠希 I don't hate Rolex, but how the Sub is the number one luxury watch of the world? no real design, diver no display caseback, crazy price....what is to like there?
Amit from Israel how did you define number 1? It’s a tool watch. And display back doesn’t mean a thing for a tool watch. You sound a lot like when I first started collecting watch about 15 years ago. Oh the cotes de geneve, the perlage, the beveled bridges, black polishing and solarisation graining blah blah blah... that’s not what a submariner is designed for. It stays true to its original design like a Porsche 911, ubiquitous, yet a continuous refining process. If you get it you get it
Oh wow, a collection made up of Rolex's, never saw that before.....
Stfu
Neptune you stfu fangirl
Extremely diverse collection, very special. It really helped me fall asleep.
When I was 13, my dad gave me a shovel. I was to do all the yard work before 6pm, otherwise I would’ve gotten a beating. Good thing I was wearing my second-hand Casio, the digital screen had just enough life in it that I could see the time, otherwise I would’ve been toast.
WOW! What a great show Ben and team. Truly loved seeing Reza's amazing Rolex collection! I just started my own TH-cam channel, and you guys were my initial inspiration. In fact, it was the 2nd episode with John Mayer. Since then I think I've seen all of your shows. You are the benchmark and I'm a huge fan. Keep up the fantastic work!
He sure does!
His Voice is just 🔥
amazing collection but also boring at the same time cause they all are different versions of almost the same watch...
Great episode, I love the Iranian reference.
In Iran, My dad gave me a Seiko 5 which was the coolest thing for me and
Started my love of watches.
Wow.I have worked hard and all that and love watches. Daft thing is in my 50,s and a bit now my trusty timekeeper is a Casio mrw200? Wouldn't have it any other way? Just a practical lad to the end? Cheers.
The most rare collection
5:55 Goldberger's book on Rolex dive watches " A Journey into The Deep " would already have SOLD OUT if it was available in Europe... Hodinkee needs a base in the EU !
From his name I assume he is Iranian and his first names are names of the last shahs ( Kings) ...
These guys lived in Palastes while the poor people lived in fucking tents! They brought al the mint to America..
As a resolut we got the stupid Islamic republic!
Oh men what an asshole am I! This man shows his watches and I’m talking politics!
Sorry mister!
Edit: oh he mentioned politics by himself, you see guys, the wounds of war and revolution are tattooed right across every Iranian soul !
Great video episode! What an amazing Rolex Submariner and Sea Dweller collection!
Rolex is boring...
He looks at a $450,000 watch and thinks "I've just got to have it. I look at a $60 pair of shoes and think "I've just got to have them" 😭😭😭
Well curated collection... he is collector and the journey for him is about knowledge.... great choice from Hodinkee to feature him... looking forward to the next Talking Watches
This guy has outplayed the vintage sub game. Litteraly outplayed.
Listening to the excited tone of Mr Rashidian makes one take a new view of these pieces !
Great video, fantastic collection and what a cool dude! So friendly and full of great personality .
All rich people aren’t a holes. Most of the wealthy guys on talking watches are pretty dope. Like he said, communism = no watch collecting
Knocking it out the park, as always!
I got a Casio fw91 when I turned 13.
But those were great
@@lsamoa Yes, but no Rolex ;-)
This, this is a collection.
I want Ben in all of the episodes of talking watches.
Can someone tell me who is this man and what he does for a living? Thanks
he does nothing for a living
how does he afford all of these watches? if you google his name. Can't even find any information about his business.
