Ben Clymer Talking Watches - kind of
While not actually a Talking Watches episode from Hodinkee, here is a video of Wei Koh chatting with Ben Clymer and Ben brings out a few of his own watches.
A nice little glimpse into Bens collection and what he looks for in collecting watches - one owner and provenance. Don't worry, no predictions about future sleeper hits ala Mayer. I haven't seen this shared yet on TRF so I thought I would. https://www.revolution.watch/going-d...ctor-hodinkee/ |

Well I saw it. He was basically saying buy hodinkee editions because they never sell below retail. He was also pumping the current state of no discounts and no one should ever get discounts. A shill for the industry not shocked. Very smart guy. He managed to turn a reporting site into both a reporting site and commercial sales vehicle.

Incredibly hard to watch as Wei just constantly interrupts Ben. One of the worst interviewers out there. Then watching Ben pump everything that HODINKEE sells.

Eh kind of cheesy - if I wanted to see and hear about all of the Dink's limited editions I'd go to their site. Their producing almost as many limited editions as Hublot

Guys make sure you're watching the "going deeper" video. It's all about Ben's watches. You can skip the other video.

Ben Clymer Talking Watches - kind of
Guess I am not the only one that notices .....................
Wei Koh NEVER “interviews” someone, he talks about himself, and occasionally allows a sentence from the other person.

If you didn't enjoy it, you can have a good laugh at the instagram page( if any members have it) "hodonkee" where he makes a video about when Ben goes " he goes f*** deep" gave me a good laugh, its basically a troll page even wei has a good laugh out of the content as well xD

I liked the video and found both parties engaging. The collection of watches is one for someone like Ben.

Imagine how interesting it might have been if Wei would have let Ben finish a thought!

The only two Boobs you’ll see on TRF all day...
ETA - Ben needs to pick one collar and go with it. You’d think he’s shilling sweaters/vests/tweed jackets in addition to watches now |

Hodinkee jumped the shark a while back. It's a shame. Riddled with conflicts.
Not the best interviewing technique by a long shot. |
