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?!"
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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"
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 RUclips, 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.
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.
I bought my Dad a Rolex GMT for his 60th. He got very emotional, my Mum said ‘all you’ve done is get yourself another watch, just one you’re not going to get to wear for about 20 years!’
That pre Daytona looks much nicer than what Rolex is currently going with. Would have been nice to see him expand beyond Rolex but I guess that would make him a watch guy.
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
I know his parents! When I met Dr Ansari a few years ago, I commented on his Rolex.

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.
The guy has bought watches for family and friends not just himself. Respect.
I like how humble and real he was about not knowing if he can say that he’s a “watch guy.”
I respect that.
Ben you're wearing 3 layers indoors. Don't pass out please

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.
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.
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
“Occasionally you see some pretty lame people wearing Daytonas” lol! 😂
John Morrison ironic
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.
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
I'm stuck in a loop after he called watches timeless
Talking Watches is UnFuckwithable
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!!!
Talking watches just gets better and better.
Nice to know Tom Haverford treats himself irl
Can you imagine Donna's collection lol

Yes! Talking watches is back baby!!!
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.
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.
Loved the collection. Simply and unique in many ways.
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.
dope, dope, dope. makes me appreciate Aziz and Hodinkee that much more
I god damn love this channel. Never stuffy, easy on the palate, good info, and comradery. Thanks!
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
Awesome interview! Good job Hodinkee.
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....
Great episode! Rolex is "unfugwitable!" I love it! haha.
That onyx face Rolex is a masterpiece. Love it.
Even when Aziz talks serious he's funny 😂
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 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!
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.
Great episode! Really tasteful vintage watches.
"It says you've got a problem"! 100% LOL!
Love Aziz always! Keep up the great work both of you
Thx Ben,totally love this guy, love his energy , outlook, his show
I like him. He reminds me of an Indian roger federer
Ricarrdo Bananasmack hahahaha brilliant
hahaha
OMG Aziz Ansari!!!!!!!!!! MASTER OF NONE! And so on :)!
I was dead when Aziz said when you have a Daytona it’s like “this is a problem in my life”
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!
"First got them in late 20's or early 30's"
So...a year ago. You got into watches about a year ago.
that story is definitely a testament to the ruggedness of the oyster case.
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.
Never clicked that fast for an epsiode, bravo!
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.
This ep of talking watches makes Aziz and Hodinkee cooler, dunno he is watch guy and yeah Hodinkee thanks for keeping it uncensored
You can tell in Bens facial expressions he wants to say “please god don’t curse anymore”
Huge fan of Aziz and I had no idea he was into watches. Awesome episode.
> owns 3 Rolexes
> Watch collector
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"
Yes, I love this guy!
I haven't even watched it yet but I know this is going to be good...
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
Great video, keep it up with entertaining guests like this one!
This is so Awesome !!! Respect him even more now
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 RUclips, 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.
im 19 and learning so much from your content ty!
I truly love this channel :)
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
Aziz knows what he’s doing when it comes to watches.
I look forward to every episode ....
I’d so love to see Hodinkee interview Barack Obama !!!
A watch geek or presidential proportions
I love these, keep um coming.
Love talking watches great episode one of the best ones
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.
I still watch this in 2021 wondering where he got that sweater from, damn that sweater is nice!
Do one with Chamath Paliaphatiya!! Please!!
It's not often I like a video before I've watched it. But, here, take my like.
Aziz, light!
I have the same sweater as him...it’s from Sandro 👌🏾
Such an infectious laugh.
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".
Wait..! Did he just say no SEASON 3..? NOOOoooooo...!
That was a super interesting and funny talking watches. Especially the Daytona reference haha.
Guy says "There's some pretty lame ppl wearing Daytonas", then jumps into a pool with a vintage 50 year old Rolex. Geez.
Dope episode! Need more talking watches.
Really enjoy the videos...waiting for the Guy Fieri interview
Always liked master of none and nice to see how similar he is to his character. Great taste in watches too
i learn so much from this channel
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!
I bought my Dad a Rolex GMT for his 60th. He got very emotional, my Mum said ‘all you’ve done is get yourself another watch, just one you’re not going to get to wear for about 20 years!’
Nice to see a young man acting like a young man! Very cool 😎
This 1016 on a brown leather is gorgeous ! Thanks for this great video !
Really appreciate these videos an these watch collection's
Just added 'unfuckwithable' to my vocabulary
It’s not surprising at all that aziz is into watches
My man has superb taste. Great watch selections. Sweater as well.
This guy Aziz is super lucky to have so many vintage Rolex pieces.
That pre Daytona looks much nicer than what Rolex is currently going with. Would have been nice to see him expand beyond Rolex but I guess that would make him a watch guy.
2:18 Dear Rolex, please make a Day - Date with no indices and a Vantablack dial.
Love aziz!
Talking watches with Jean-Ralphio next please.
Everytime I see this guy he just looks familiar but I have no idea where I keep seeing him...
Wait what?
There's not going to be season 3 of Master Of None??
anyone know where Aziz's sweater is from??
