    Ronny Chieng is having a moment. The already busy stand-up comic, Crazy Rich Asians cast member, and Daily Show correspondent, appears in Marvel's Shang-Chi, which premiered earlier this month and has settled in comfortably at the top of the box-office rankings.
    While Chieng is a laugh a minute, he's serious about his watch choices - with a collection focused mainly on Rolex, Omega, and Seiko. Some of the watches came from his late father, while others were sought out as part of an enthusiast's path he credits to watching videos right here on HODINKEE.
    Chieng's journey began with a humble Seiko 5, purchased online while he was in university, and progressed to his most recent purchase, the GMT-Master, with plenty of great stories along the way. This is your Talking Watches with Ronny Chieng.

      I also think there’s something to be said that you don’t necessarily need to have an encyclopaedia of watches in your head to be considered a proper enthusiast. If you want to delve deep into movements, go ahead, but let more casual watch lovers enjoy the hobby too. After all, it’s a hobby. We’re all in this because of the fun we have and the people we meet!

      Probably cause in their time mechanical wrist watches were mere tools. The ones who wanted to cherish them set themselves apart by going two-tone/precious metals.
      Personally I would go the route of precious/special materials for dials/cases just so I can standout from the people who wants everything to look like a black submariner.

Of all your watches I love the two tone Date Just that your dad gave you. I love that he was like "oh yeah, no problem, here ya go" with the only watch he ever owned. Amazing dad.

    Good to see another Malaysian finding success outside of Malaysia. Stay safe and keep making a name for yourself!

    Bringing some well-needed comedy to Talking Watches! This is the best one since John Mayer 2.

    Ohh, Ronny bless him! You can tell his dad means a lot to him. He does that laugh-joke thing to ease the pain of losing your old man! I do the same thing too! I also wear my dad's speed master from the 80s! To remember him! The pain never goes away. You just get stronger!

    Really loved this episode. Very genuine, honest, and hilarious episode. Shoutout to Daniel Dae Kim as well as that is a top 5 Talking Watches episode for me. Same for me getting into watches during the pandemic. I literally started being interested in mechanical watches after a Jack Forster video talking about the best watches in every price range came into my feed randomly. Bought my first mechanical watch within weeks, sold my smartwatch, and wearing it right now. For me, the best watch in this collection is the FOIS and then the Datejust. Two-tone Datejusts are the perfect embodiment of the 1970s and 1980s even as I did not live in those time periods. Nice to see some fresh variants like this GMT Master II that is quite uncommon. You can't go wrong with the most popular variants as they are popular for a reason and regular people don't really wear watches but I appreciate the extra effort to make your collection a bit more special!

    'Does anyone have the time?' 😂 Love the 'Ron'. As for his 'root beer', I'd ask him if he meant 'A&W' as a shout out to school days hanging around the joint in SG/MY... or if his Mum sees it, she would have called it 'kuih talam' (local Malay coconut and palm sugar dessert)... 😋 and if you put his Hulk/Root Beer together, Malays will see the Ondeh-Ondeh connection (green and brown Malay traditional dessert). So the truth is out: Ronnie has a craving for home 'sweets' among his watch treats! 😂 ... Loved what he said of the Ron (Rolex Date Just) as a tee shirt combo go-to watch! It's so 'Asian Uncle'. He must miss his Dad! (2018) 🕊

    Loved this episode, especially when Ronny was talking about Bruce Lee and how empowering it was to be possibly wearing the same model watch he was wearing. Can totally relate with trying to build a connection with someone you look up to with certain pieces they may have used

      When Ronny said moon earlier in the interview it reminded me of 'it is like a finger pointing away to the moon' from Enter the Dragon and lo and behold Ronny mentions Bruce Lee's Seiko! Cheers, Ronny for showing us your collection.
