@@kblonden imo that's the peak that any watch enthusiasts could reach, a watch that has it all and you can feel it all wearing it, everything else would be redundant because why would buy another when that's the one that makes you happy, makes you think "wow that is the most beautiful thing i've seen today" every time you look at it

The gentleman’s depth of knowledge and passion for these is remarkable. He is a worthy curator of this wonderful museum of watches and keeper of history. He is up there with the folks who collect vintage Speedmaster, Timex , Seiko’s and Soviet watches in terms of passion and knowledge for such esoteric subject matter.

Imagine having a Rolex at 13.

On his wrist he had a 2018 Rolex oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master in Rose Gold (rubber strap)!!! It stopped me in mid conversation about his boat..he said his dad gave it to him.Hes a very humble a nice chap But TBH it made me feel like crap! I work very very hard for myself ,and he has a 26k plus watch just as a gift.. it was stunning tho. Hopefully i can do the same for my son one day.

@@GangBlud Lol the saying is *beauty* is in the eye of the beholder. One's collective interpretations of beauty comprises their taste. You can have shit taste and still consider what you like to be beautiful but taste is for others to rate, hence phrases like "he's got good taste" or "she has a bad taste in music". Also your following sentence equally doesn't make sense...I think you meant to say Rolex *made* amazing bla bla, your current sentence basically says that it takes them a long time to make watches (which also is incorrect lol as they're notorious for their high production volume). Not sure if English isn't your native language or what, but yeah don't be basic.

@@danielpalacios5124 Taste is inherently objective. However, the difference is in comparative experiences. If one has seen 10.000 watches, that person will have a better understanding of watches and could better evaluate them. But, that does not change the fact that he thinks that it is beautiful. I'm pretty sure that sentence does make sense though. But I should have used started a new sentence. There's a reason why the Submariner is so popular and that thousands of other brands have copied the design of it, it's a beautiful watch. That's a fact.

That milsub is something else, one of my favorite vintage sports watches with a great story that makes it even more unique Great episode as always

Honestly we need at least an hour plus with this gentleman.

Wow, what a collection, those watches are awesome, just love the drive and enthusiasm to track down each watch, all those different Pat Pending, the dial progression, superb. Thanks for sharing.

Well curated collection... he is collector and the journey for him is about knowledge.... great choice from Hodinkee to feature him... looking forward to the next Talking Watches

AFTER BINGE WATCHING ALL OTHER EPISODES, FINALLY A NEW ONE.

Listening to the excited tone of Mr Rashidian makes one take a new view of these pieces !

What a fabulous episode with a brilliant collector !

Knocking it out the park, as always!

I didn't know how long I've been waiting for this episode until I saw the video. Ben Clymer at the helm and and a collection that is exactly my taste. Perfect episode!!!!

What a great episode...a rich collector, however, has layman’s enthusiasm about his collection: LOVE IT!!!!!

My hero, this gentleman...love vintage, love beat up divers, great video...thanks for posting this.

What an experience to view all those lovely Subs together. I'm impressed Reza kept his first watch. Mid 1960's I was given a youth Timex. I wish I had kept that watch.

Amazing as always, production quality is extraordinary. Reza is a cool gentleman with an amazing collection.

This is an amazing collection. But I still can’t take my eyes of Ben’s Aquanaut. It’s just such a sleek yet blingy piece. I absolutely love it.

I love these videos. The history behind each piece & passion is inspiring!

Amazing video, loved every minute. Congratulations Mr Rashidian on your beautiful collection. Proud to be an Iranian.

Unseen. Thank you Hodinkee.

A beautiful collection, and a fascinating conversation. 10mins is not enough...

Nothing cooler, better than the extreme dive watches....love the look, the patina and the value....cant beat it

No wonder it's so difficult to buy submariner these days. He bought them all

WOW! What a great show Ben and team. Truly loved seeing Reza's amazing Rolex collection! I just started my own KZread channel, and you guys were my initial inspiration. In fact, it was the 2nd episode with John Mayer. Since then I think I've seen all of your shows. You are the benchmark and I'm a huge fan. Keep up the fantastic work!

This gentleman has the most thorough Rolex watch collection I have ever seen in my life! I'm going to locate and purchase his book. I love reading about the historical aspects of particular watch companies more so Rolex and TUDOR because WITHOUT Rolex, my favorite brand would not exist.

Ben´s face when he tries the watch is the reason Hodinkee is so great and successful!

This is the most amazing, boring (in a good way), and beautiful watch collection that I have seen. Great video and it is nice to see that this gentleman is truly passionate about his collection.

Fantastic video, excellent content!

Gotta love when you see your favourite watch ever at the start of a collection video

First time I'm not disappointed to see a Rolex only collection, since the focus and the theme show passion and interest, not just the goal of hoarding expensive watches for expensiveness' sake.

Great video episode! What an amazing Rolex Submariner and Sea Dweller collection!

Ok, I just have to say this is simply AMAZING!

Great video, fantastic collection and what a cool dude! So friendly and full of great personality .

These watches are so unique from each other. Look so different, different colors, materials, some with one red line text others with 2. Some with "this" written underneath the case back which others written with "that". And if I see anyone wearing any one of this watch, I would without doubt say this person is someone very important.

i love how passionate people get with their watches like a child showing another children their cool new toy

Would you like a side of Rolex with your Rolex?

Such a amazing if very focused collection built on a real passion. Great when Ben asked to try on the Deep Sea Special, so cool!

Amazing video as always, as a dive watch enthusiast this is pure gold. By the way, we need Ben back on instagram!

Extremely diverse collection, very special. It really helped me fall asleep.

Ok, that was a very good interview.

what a collection. Mind blowing, wish the vid was longer though.

ROLEX: which rolex would you like RASHIIDIAN: yes

Always the highest quality people and production values.

A great man with an amazing dive watch collection.

I can smell where all the Subs for the Submariner Reference Points came from

This, this is a collection.

I love that of all of his stupendous collection his daily wearer is his Millsub. That's what I rock too. He's a man after my own heart.

His Voice is just 🔥

Amazing....just amazing! Great job!

Thank you, these are so REAL... true, honest tool watches with history and function.

That first Rolex half dome is very representative of our world. ;-)

This man doesn’t have a subconscious... he has a SUBMARINAROUS. Fascinating if slightly terrifying collection which commands respect. Bravo.

great video ben! missing a deepsea deep blue in the collection. beside that - its perfect

Wow，his first Oyster Date look fresh out of the box. Great collection.

Great episode, I love the Iranian reference. In Iran, My dad gave me a Seiko 5 which was the coolest thing for me and Started my love of watches.

When I was 13 ... I’m still dreaming on getting my hands on submariner...

great collection, incredible watches. nice vid

That collection is a dream. Objectively beautiful.

Amazing video!!

this is fucking nuts. awesome awesome collection and cool to show how on-theme a collection can be!

Any of the video Ben does is very inspiring and he seems to have the most interesting guests.

Very nice collection. The story about the Iranian sub was very interesting and cool.

Bravo....thank you for a great video. Being a car guy too....I love the 911 reference.

Ah yes, the highlight of me week for watches

It’s easy to hate on the ubiquitous theme of rich guy collecting a bunch of rolexes but this collection is really something special.

What a great collection 😍

Well done hodinkee.should’ve dove into more details about some of them though

It's crazy to think one day, many years and many generations into the future, this collection most likely as a whole will be sold to another owner... and just imagine the sale prize of the entire collection! Sadly it'll probably end up in a museum.

Love these talking watches. You should do one with Mike Wood.

What a collection!

....and I wonder why I can't find a good vintage sub/seadweller... THIS DUDE HAS THEM ALL!!!!
