In Conversation with Ben Clymer Part II; Going Deeper, Ben Clymer the Collector 

Yeah-what a joke. That's where Ben Clymer got called out for BS

Lmao...worth $$$$ more and Ben knows it...laughing all the way to the bank

@@SuperWhofan1 He's saying that's what he thought at the time of buying it.

I know lol... it'll be worth 10 times more than the others in 80 years!

Tal 3 Lol. When they started doing Tiffany stamps on new watches, they were probably marginally worth a bit more than regular models (5% to 10% at most. It since had become crazy these 3-5 years or so only, when it was caught inbetween with steel watch craziness, rising economy and growing new interests in watches due to internet. From my knowledge Ben is right on this, from someone works in watch industry.

Best comment of the day......

Wei Koh, beyond annoying...

I don't know man. Wei isn't really an annoying type interviewer. This is just two friends talking. You want annoying? Check out Matt Farah (TheSmokingTire). Good guy.

Lol! How true! The guy conducting the interview sporks more that the person he’s interviewing. What an idiot!

The interviewer seems primarily interested in hearing himself talking...is not really listening to Ben.

roloy Ben has said that he never wanted to make Hodinkee about him. So it makes sense that he’s doing it on another platform. I commend him for it

And we didn’t even get the real good stuff

@@mdtell Really? Is there any source where we can see a full list of Ben's collection?

@@gmshadowtraders Check his instagram. He quit at the start of the year for some reason, but its still up and has a lot of the good stuff

The only difference is, Hodinkee let their guests finish a sentence....

Watching this again and it’s annoying how Wei kept cutting Ben off *sigh*

Wei got better in this regard over the years

@@82seno Eh, I still can’t really watch videos with him. He spends too much time name dropping.

lord, i'm in minute 2 of this video and it's already annoying. I love both and I thought these comments exaggerate, but man wtf let ben finish half of his sentence

which box is that?

I had to look up the history of Goyard to get some kind of idea how an 8 slot watch box could cost over $3000. It's actually rather interesting how the company developed. It's out of my budget and not something I would be interested in if I could afford it but I did want a decent affordable watch box that wasn't generic feeling. There didn't seem to be much between the entry level end and very expensive luxury boxes. I got the best quality non premium non luxury box I could find on Amazon, took off the lid and fitted it into a hand carved wood box (not a watch box) from Peru which was about $200. A little handy work and it's a fun project that gets you something unique and pretty cool.

He"s Hugo's boss

@@siddheshnarvekar5082 Goyard, a French designer, very exclusive. You can not buy new on the internet.

I don't agree. Wei was very ill-behaved at Baselworld with the Oris CEO, see that video. But here his ego in in check and his input adds value. He is improving himself.

Wei always speaks so rapidly. He’s high on life.

@@TwentyOne_Five you can speak rapidly without speaking over other people

Extrovert standard

Just think he’s high.. on life

Not cool if he does that ALL THE TIME!

he must've been tired

I think Wei was geeking out so prob didn’t mean to but yea wished he let Ben tell his stories. This drop was epic!!

@@paulkim1599 He's always like that. It's quite annoying!

wow 👏thank you.

Driving me nuts. He doesn’t listen so much as wait to speak again.

Just loves to hear their own voice..very common unfortunately

Vinny Ocean military as well 🤟

Yeah out of all the watches on the table none even compete in that watches history! That was a Canadian military personnel’s watch and also the same reference of watch that landed on the moon! They are extremely difficult to find never mind finding one with box and papers as well as the receipt! Insane find!

Davor Banovic this was filmed back in December. I don’t think the alpinist was introduced yet.

@@lhoan004 Haha, thx. The wardrobe makes sense then.

It’s his channel, not sure what you are yapping on… go to HODINKEE and see Ben talk more…. It’s like watching lettermen and you want the guest to talk more….

Esp when Ben talks about the his GMT 1675, just like little kids...I'm the same, funny how these little machines have an effect on adults....GR8.

Yes!

He'll send Russians and the Irish straight to the hospital for alcohol poisoning.

I hate the interviewer jump in interrupting the person's train of thought! Just shut up and let Ben say whatever. By the way, Charlie Rose is one of those interviewers who did the same thing!

Absolutely!

The DONK gets the shout out!

😇

Kemal Wiryawan exactly

That’s actually something he’s also known for 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Botth pretentious and demanding...

reddevil100 how do buy from the original seller

Pretty sure he has an 8 figure watch collection along w like 3 mil in vintage cars. It’s wild how big hodinkee became

Mike C Seiko is king of the east when it comes to watches. Probably (in my opinion) one of the most important watch brands historically. I would be proud of your collection!

@@ChoonChunx I agree. I was joking. Love my Seikos! 👍

11:48 The Grand Seiko. As Wei said "Stunning..."

im there with you lol...

Thats wrong. I can afford high end but i still buy Seiko for diverse collection

nysdgiants haha! 😂

Where did you get this information from?
