I know his parents! When I met Dr Ansari a few years ago, I commented on his Rolex. "My son, Aziz, gave it to me." "Oh, that's cool." "Wait, your son is Aziz Ansari?!"
Really tasteful collection, I like that he started with a vintage explorer over getting the flashiest new Rolex he could find, shows real style and taste.
Can I suggest that you do some "Talking Watches" amongst yourselves, the editors? Would be amazing seeing your own collections and stories behind the watches!
Is he? I didn’t really get that from this video. The message I got was that Ben knows another famous person, and/or will waste the time of his current subscribers in order to draw more eyes to his brand.
The more unexpected the collector, the better the episode. Please keep chasing down personalities and not just celebrities , the last few episodes have been awesome.
Man if you guys could bring Eric Clapton to the show it would be just amazing, bet you are saving this for a special ocasion, but do it before he dies!!!
There's a few people in this world who can say anything, whether it intended to be funny or not, and make me laugh stupidly. Aziz Ansari is one of those people. I don't know what it is. His physical stature maybe, the uniqueness of his voice, his always being on brand and delivery. It all comes together in the perfect comedic package. I'm glad he was discovered.
I don’t know what it is, but Talking Watches with Ben Clymer is just plain awesome. It’s something to look forward to when you’re a watch guy. Another good interview.
A Talking Watches episode with a person I really like and didn't expect, or a high-up in the watch world, is the best video someone can put on TH-cam, for me. I very rarely even press the like button on a video, and in years I don't know if I've ever commented to say I enjoyed a video.
As a kid, my father gifted me a red LED Texas Instruments watch just as the SLA (Symbionese Liberation Army) deadly shootout started on tv in L.A. 5 minutes later we were on our way to Spires restaurant. Those 3 things are now all tied together in 1 memory.
boom! oyster! no water. also its really really cool that he talked about 5 rolexes that he gave away as gifts and he brought 2 rolexes as his "collection"
I think I saw Modena in the first shots. It’s the city where I graduated and my faculty was like 50 mt away from the wooden door in the center of the frame. I could be wrong but that image is too strong in my mind, I left a piece of hearth in Modena.
This episode > Pras. I'm still embarrassed for Hodinkee on Pras' episode, part 2. The timepieces where never touched, lifted or even removed from their coffin. Ansari exemplifies the essence of this series. A collector. A lover. Not a hoarder for status.
I saw Aziz and Russel Peters within a month of eachother in Waterloo and Aziz's show was infinitely better. Amazing show in a smallish venue and I was in the 4th row. I didn't notice his watch though ;) I think he was wearing a jacket.
Dear Hodinkee, keep up the good work! I'd like to see you talk watches with not only Rolex or "big" watch collectors/celebrities alone. What about the ladies, and the swatch/timex guys? Some ladies love watches too and not everyone will own a Daytona! (Just my 2 cents worth of advice/criticism.) You are going well!
Quote of the episode: "Man, occasionally, you see some pretty lame people wearing Daytona's"
Another contender: “There’s something about [Rolex] that’s just...unfuckwithable”
Rebecca Tung another one: “it says something about you to have a Paul Newman Daytona.” “Yeah it says you have a problem.”
Ryan Moy i also like how aziz uses facial expression to say to ben 'man i know you love daytonas but i gotta say this'
Russel Peeters rocks a Daytona in his Netflix series Indian Detective I think...
That was an unexpected education
The guy has bought watches for family and friends not just himself. Respect.
I know his parents! When I met Dr Ansari a few years ago, I commented on his Rolex.
"My son, Aziz, gave it to me."
"Oh, that's cool."
"Wait, your son is Aziz Ansari?!"

Karp r/nothinghappens
So he said Aziz and you jumped straight to Aziz Ansari? #thingsthatneverhappened
Lord Vader he said he knew him as Dr. Anzari so he can put 2 + 2 together.
That 6234 is a stunner, my goodness!
are you into watches ? :O
Dude are you into watches as well?
Snazzy Labs nice to know a fellow tech geek appreciates watches too 🤗
if you have a collection,we would love to see
kiran mynampati I second that.
I like how humble and real he was about not knowing if he can say that he’s a “watch guy.”
I respect that.
Really tasteful collection, I like that he started with a vintage explorer over getting the flashiest new Rolex he could find, shows real style and taste.

Ben you're wearing 3 layers indoors. Don't pass out please
😂
I didn't even know Aziz was into watches.
Koji Takata rabbi benjamin clymer is teaching him more
Is he? I didn’t really get that from this video. The message I got was that Ben knows another famous person, and/or will waste the time of his current subscribers in order to draw more eyes to his brand.
And I mean no disrespect to Aziz. I love Master of None and enjoy is stand up specials quite a bit.
who isn't?
Like white people, he is also into slavery
Talking Watches is UnFuckwithable
“Occasionally you see some pretty lame people wearing Daytonas” lol! 😂
John Morrison ironic
Loved the collection. Simply and unique in many ways.
Surprised you didn't censoror cut out the swearing, but I think it's good you didn't.
definitely the right move, we can all be adults here.
Agreed
todd piasecki except for Todd, he’s 12.
todd piasecki says the guy that wants Oprah to be president. You dunce.
Lighten up Francis
The more unexpected the collector, the better the episode. Please keep chasing down personalities and not just celebrities , the last few episodes have been awesome.
I'm stuck in a loop after he called watches timeless
Talking watches just gets better and better.
I god damn love this channel. Never stuffy, easy on the palate, good info, and comradery. Thanks!
Man if you guys could bring Eric Clapton to the show it would be just amazing, bet you are saving this for a special ocasion, but do it before he dies!!!
What a class act, great episode and what a surprise that he's so big in to watches now I like him even more 😁
hahahahahahahahhaa
Just when I thought I couldn't like Aziz (or Talking Watches) any more, this video happens 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yeah bruh, too bad Aziz's career is over.
Sure it's taken a hit, but it seems like most of the public has his back and his career is fine.
I like The Modest Man moore, you are realy great, small world though 🙂
He's so unctuous he sullies buying vintage and Rolex.
he seems like a really chill, down to earth guy. super cool he's also into old rolex's.

Best looking Rolexes I’ve seen actually, super understated and tasteful and look good on him.
"There's something about the brand that's unfuckwithable" I think that sums up Rolex nicely.
Yes! Talking watches is back baby!!!
Finally. And what a guest!
Holy fucking shit this is a dream come true. Master of None is the greatest show of all time. His style and watch choice in the show is impeccable.
Nice to know Tom Haverford treats himself irl
Can you imagine Donna's collection lol
What a way to start talking watches for 2018! You were not lying on Friday live, excited to see what the year has ahead for Hodinkee!
I had the opportunity to meet him many years ago (after a stand up show) and he was super nice. Great guy! And a BIG foodie too!
Thx Ben,totally love this guy, love his energy , outlook, his show
dope, dope, dope. makes me appreciate Aziz and Hodinkee that much more
I don’t know what it is, but Talking Watches with Ben Clymer is just plain awesome. It’s something to look forward to when you’re a watch guy. Another good interview.
Love Aziz always! Keep up the great work both of you
Great episode! Really tasteful vintage watches.
Mad respect for Aziz! Great taste in watches... and such a generous dude.
amen. giving away more rolexes than he owns himself is a true statement
> owns 3 Rolexes
> Watch collector
Awesome interview! Good job Hodinkee.
Great episode! Rolex is "unfugwitable!" I love it! haha.
This ep of talking watches makes Aziz and Hodinkee cooler, dunno he is watch guy and yeah Hodinkee thanks for keeping it uncensored
So this is the Hodinkee CEO inviting a Hodinkee client on the Hodinkee channel to speak about watches covered and/or sold by Hodinkee. Hmmm....
Even when Aziz talks serious he's funny 😂
That onyx face Rolex is a masterpiece. Love it.
A Talking Watches episode with a person I really like and didn't expect, or a high-up in the watch world, is the best video someone can put on TH-cam, for me.
I very rarely even press the like button on a video, and in years I don't know if I've ever commented to say I enjoyed a video.
Never clicked that fast for an epsiode, bravo!
"It says you've got a problem"! 100% LOL!
Yes, I love this guy!
amazing collection, even more respect for him! I guess we all now know what he's been doing for treat yoself days all these years
Aziz, light!
This is so Awesome !!! Respect him even more now
Great video, keep it up with entertaining guests like this one!
As a kid, my father gifted me a red LED Texas Instruments watch just as the SLA (Symbionese Liberation Army) deadly shootout started on tv in L.A. 5 minutes later we were on our way to Spires restaurant. Those 3 things are now all tied together in 1 memory.
im 19 and learning so much from your content ty!
I like him. He reminds me of an Indian roger federer
Ricarrdo Bananasmack hahahaha brilliant
hahaha
"First got them in late 20's or early 30's"
So...a year ago. You got into watches about a year ago.
John Mayer and Aziz have well thought out watches. It’s driven by passion and not the need for bling. I like that about them.
I truly love this channel :)
I haven't even watched it yet but I know this is going to be good...
OMG Aziz Ansari!!!!!!!!!! MASTER OF NONE! And so on :)!
boom! oyster! no water. also its really really cool that he talked about 5 rolexes that he gave away as gifts and he brought 2 rolexes as his "collection"
I was dead when Aziz said when you have a Daytona it’s like “this is a problem in my life”
Love talking watches great episode one of the best ones
I love these, keep um coming.
Huge fan of Aziz and I had no idea he was into watches. Awesome episode.
This 1016 on a brown leather is gorgeous ! Thanks for this great video !
Such an infectious laugh.
I'm now in love with the 6234! Also he said he's not a hardcore enthusiast but he wears everything on leather which justifies the class of Rolex
Always liked master of none and nice to see how similar he is to his character. Great taste in watches too
Dope episode! Need more talking watches.
I think I saw Modena in the first shots. It’s the city where I graduated and my faculty was like 50 mt away from the wooden door in the center of the frame. I could be wrong but that image is too strong in my mind, I left a piece of hearth in Modena.
nice watches and he seems to be really nice and fun guy you can spend time and talk with. thumbs up for another great episode!
Amazing Aziz👍
I have the same sweater as him...it’s from Sandro 👌🏾
i learn so much from this channel
This episode > Pras. I'm still embarrassed for Hodinkee on Pras' episode, part 2. The timepieces where never touched, lifted or even removed from their coffin. Ansari exemplifies the essence of this series. A collector. A lover. Not a hoarder for status.
Love aziz!
that story is definitely a testament to the ruggedness of the oyster case.
Do one with Chamath Paliaphatiya!! Please!!
Really enjoy the videos...waiting for the Guy Fieri interview
That was a super interesting and funny talking watches. Especially the Daytona reference haha.
It's not often I like a video before I've watched it. But, here, take my like.
I look forward to every episode ....
I’d so love to see Hodinkee interview Barack Obama !!!
A watch geek or presidential proportions
I still watch this in 2021 wondering where he got that sweater from, damn that sweater is nice!
You can tell in Bens facial expressions he wants to say “please god don’t curse anymore”
I really like the vintage Rolex chronos...from before they put the crown logo on everything.
Very happy to see this episode pop up
Aziz knows what he’s doing when it comes to watches.
Is the Onyx dial platinum case? Couldnt tell with the lighting if it was yellow gold
anyone know where Aziz's sweater is from??
Nice to see a young man acting like a young man! Very cool 😎
Great episode as always
I love your taste man. Understated elegance.
Perfect watch collection
Yessssssss!!!!!

Yep, well done Ben. This is awesome.
What kind of straps (manufacturer or style)are on the first two Rolexes? Or are they the originals?
My man has superb taste. Great watch selections. Sweater as well.
I love this guy but I can't take the way he talks seriously 😂😂😂 Just made me laugh when he said "thanks for having me".
