Talking Watches With Jeff Stein

There aren't too many people in the watch world like Jeff Stein. Sure, there are true lovers of a single category - but few dedicate so much passion, so much energy, and so much time to any one single type of watch, and have done so for so many years and with as much vigor as Jeff Stein. Stein is the founder and still owner of OnTheDash, the champion of vintage Heuer in the online space. The resource hosts an active forum, original stories (mostly authored by Stein), and simply an unparalleled level of information about all things vintage Heuer. It won't come as a surprise that Mr. Stein is in fact a Heuer collector of some note. This is your official Talking Watches with OnTheDash founder Jeff Stein.

It's very difficult to listen to Mr. Stein and not want a Heuer chronograph in the collection. I'm most fortunate to have had the opportunity to view this video, thanks to both Ben and Jeff.

[@matts9484]

Nice to see a focused collection like this that isn't just Rolex and Patek. We need more talking watches episodes...

[@Mesrine68]

Thanks to Mr. Jeff Stein, i was asking something about my Heuerer Carerra Cal.12 and he wrote me back, a very nice person

[@gravina.vintage]

It was a great pleasure to exchange my Heuer Autavia Chronomatic with my dear friend Jeff. I was happy with my Heuer Bundeswehr, which I just recovered ​Cheers from Brazil Douglas Gravina

[@darksidecarnival5385]

I found this very educational. I started my interest in watches with TAG Heuer 30 years ago and find myself coming back to them. The Autavia is quickly becoming an itch for me. Great episode. Keep up the great work!

[@itsKibbleTalksWatches]

Never clicked on a video so quick! Nothing like a new Hodinkee video and a Talking Watches video at that :D

[@thesilverphist6483]

bastard i wanted phist comment ;-)

[@HHIto]

I have great respect for this man who has taken such love for Heuer Autavias and many other watches.

[@timongreaves1318]

'Sometimes you stand there in the morning, and say, you know I just want a badass watch' top bloke

[@stemikger]

I'm new to collecting but not a young guy. I started off and was all over the place, but I found I kept on going back to Timex. I love how they are now making automatics and mechanical now, but I also love their Quartz. They make watches for the every day guy and I just love how they look. I know many horological guys don't think they are special, but I hope to one day own as many Timex watches as Jeff owns Tags. Wear what you love and enjoy the hobby. I'm doing just that.

[@ziggysevig8069]

great job as usual ! i cant get enough talking watches. the more I learn about watches I go back and read Watch the episodes and it seems entirely new to me being more educated

[@alwaysgoclockwise6019]

A great trip down Heuer history books with a master. Wish it was longer.

[@fer557]

"And sometimes you just stand there in the morning and say, you know, I just want a badass watch". What an awesome line.

[@ivon136]

thank you so much Sir, great pleasure hear you talking about your hobby

[@jolness1]

Jeff is such a great guy. Love this episode. Love seeing Tag-Heuer really lean on the great heritage and equity that the Heuer name has. Much better than the 00s mall watch vibes. Hopefully they continue on a decent trajectory.

[@UmarHKhan]

Was waiting for a new Talking Watches video for soo long. Finally :D

[@wparo]

best person to ask what time is it

[@trevbarlow9719]

It's Heuer time, baby!

[@auxiliary4023]

Jeff's a great guy as is his web site a great resource! Good stuff!

[@anintatej]

One of the best issues of Talking Watches.

[@lamkevinp]

Just an amazing collection and collector.

[@Samson518]

Fantastic. His website is an invaluable resource.

[@3signets]

So pleased to have come across this video series.

[@artemface]

The focus on community is so so so cool

[@rodrigomussak]

Fantastic collection. The Autavia is a instant grail!

[@blackgoose7845]

great clip, amazing collection

[@ChrisBoulas]

This was so fun to watch. Just as good as the one with the guy who collects the Rolex bubble backs.

[@nottavictim5]

Chris Boulas The two best. Two watch scholars

[@bombpop2461]

5:01 Dog is clearly unimpressed.

[@philc822]

that dog is rich. see that Autavia big eye collar- he knows what time it is!

[@Stoneitful]

Dog watches Arch the Pontiff and you know what arch would call these :)

[@davidcote8644]

Great talking watches!! Great to see that awesome collection Jeff, I knew you had more watches !

[@jakobbgh6310]

WOW Jeff stein. You sure know how to collect. Respect 👍🏻

[@rogersmith4926]

Amazing watch collection he got here, and yes he help me to with some quastions that i had about my Heuer Carrera Cal. 12,

[@Jasonweckard]

I'm a sucker for Heuer Dash Timers.

[@Michael-4]

What a wonderful interview.

[@ripperx444]

Pretty much he has a million of the same watch..nice

[@cormacbrissett4881]

I'm glad to hear that he wears his collection - I was struck by his bare wrist.

[@ivanfiorilla6851]

More of an obsession rather than a collection. Gotta appreciate the love he has for the brand though...

[@cedb7115]

Fantastic! I am now interested i Heuers and will go check out his web sitr to educate myself

[@leesh771]

Much better than any other rollie collectors

[@nottavictim5]

Awesome collection and true scholarship. Not just another rich guy with some Daytonas and Subs

[@eugeniozanda7230]

Oh...! This is what I call a Great watch collection...

[@amintaslneto]

What a watch collecting class! Thanks for sharing it

[@expiredmilk3390]

Does he have the ones with the Japanese movements?

[@abbath1586]

You need a dedicated weekly video for taking watches. So many out there who do this pass-time. Thank you for uploading another one.

[@RogerWilcoSnr]

Another great video.

[@KurzawaJakub]

He said that the community makes this hobby so great and It's true. It would be boring collecting only for yourself.

[@23macca23]

Great video, fantastic collection, love his passion and knowledge!

[@kidk007]

If this man is married, his wife is truly the best wife ever!

[@Koenentom]

Does anybody remember in which episode of talking watches they discussed the vintage steel daytonas with, if I remember correctly, like a pretty colourful dial or indicator?

[@sectormentor6265]

It could be I was overwhelmed by the numerous watches on display, but I did not get inspired by this one sadly..

[@pedrocanada1]

Here in BRAZIL 🇧🇷, we are deeply into Heur's ;) , especially after Senna's death. And I'm still looking forward to get my perfect Monaco!

[@lowersaxon]

Very nice video.

[@jasonsawatsky2463]

Damn that was good. Great video, too bad we only get two a year....the brand gets a pretty bad rep these days, If anyone should be doing reissues/ re additions it should be Tag heuer. All of these pieces I would wear proudly!

[@neilpatel1914]

Jason Sawatsky it seems your wish has been granted. While a little pricey, the Autavia reissue that came out this year is beautiful!

[@outofshadow9951]

The best watches ever produced, my favorites models was from the 60s and 70s, Autavia, Carrera, monza, monaco, 1153, 1553...Amazing design, finish and movement from this era, regarding that it wasn't cao, dao and cnc...

[@stevenuk]

excellent interview!

[@simontyrannes1829]

Wow wow such dedication well done.

[@KRSchannel]

@16:28 my favorite watch in this collection. Imagine if they actually manufactured the same color scheme as new.

[@Roy-vh9rp]

Nice collection, but I wonder what the yearly service cost is?

[@clocksnscotch]

Is this a repost? Pretty sure we've seen this guy on the channel before

[@CatnipPJ]

This collection reminds me of band camp. Every instrument could play a good tune but only some could play a really great tune. Oh Yeahhh Who's ready for some coolade?

[@hikatz84]

I have a "badass" Aquaracer too! I wear it almost every day.

[@simonorr594]

Just pulled the trigger on a quartz Heuer Professional Quartz 200m. All of $250. I grew up ski racing, watching Franz Klammer winning the '76 winter Olympics. Timed by Heuer electronic quartz timing. Why the hell are these so cheap???? Still ski racing and coaching BTW. Where was Rolex at the Olympics? Dubai?

[@Temperdgrump]

He's definitely the life of any party. Even Ben was bored. Jeff:"To see whether that V was pointed was just one of the highlights of yesterday." Ben:" Sure...." and quickly switches topic. ROFL!

[@dominik13579]

People forget how amazing HEUER was

[@nelsona779]

sweet video great collection

[@Kozling]

Saw this with crown and caliber a year ago. Still good I guess.

[@kennychung7771]

Jeff Stein is my hero

[@smokingONsumDRO]

Talking Watches With Archie Luxury please!!

[@IbnulSharar]

LOL. That'd be fff up

[@Jollopukki2]

Yes , fuuuuuuuuuuuckers !!!

[@ginyamaguchi1421]

Do it clymer, I dare you!!!

[@johnn.7806]

how can he be unemployed and a janitor? If he was a janitor wouldn't he be employed? Not defending him in anyway but...thats a paradox you got going there.

[@johnn.7806]

Bob jones how do you get fired from that?

[@nrs6956]

Well done. Thank you.

[@MrVoayer]

Single brand, and not one of those posh names. Now, that is devotion !

[@jsnyder0512]

Great video. Thank you.

[@Kalateya]

Greetings. This is absolutely beauty collection. ;)

[@tytytyme33]

Can we get more videos?

[@Tahmuty]

Pure horological bliss.

[@vibratehigh89]

very cool video, and that aqua racer really is "bad ass".

[@MichaelPadillaBaws]

That white on white Carrera is impeccable 😍😍😍

[@shipmate3577]

Hodinkee... do one with a "Seiko collector".

[@fromaustralia699]

5:02 "He lovez them watchez mo' than me 😫"

[@JimmyCrooks741]

No Ref 12?

[@haa1241]

Great video! What do you think about tag heaur 1000 professional series?

[@philc822]

got a 1000 but pre tag 36mm 1984 blk / blk , wears big for 36mm. thick case , great tool watch look, model 980.013, love it would never sell, if you buy wait for a heuer - resid. value will go up , tag signed models never really do

[@Jaxbrawlstar]

A true watch collector.

[@Vatabg]

holy shit those two seikos look so good in his collection, makes me so happy to own a srp777

[@peterk1167]

I wonder if he owns the Tag Huer the one that was infamous for having Seiko parts? Lol glad it's his collection and not mine great vid

[@onthedash824]

Yes . . . I own three of the TAG Heuer Carreras, with the Cal 1887 movement, and they are fantastic . . . all running within three seconds per day accuracy.

[@AntoineThisdale]

I was hoping more Bund's. My very favorite Heuer. Oh well.

[@40Houdini]

Antoine Thisdale I was waiting the whole time for Bunds. Never came. Very interesting though.

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

This guy knows his Heuers.

[@TrentHarlan]

Nowhere enough Monaco action.

[@willmcc5063]

[@josesanz6080]

[@m93sek]

Nice Seiko there, too!

[@m93sek]

[@Naftaliheilbron]

I can't find it.. where is it.

[@hobbyreloj3946]

hola tengo un autavia heuer 3646 de mi abuelo. Le puedes interesar a usted? saludos

[@tim2468]

Very Interesting!

[@wilfreb]

Should have lasted an hour, this was very interesting

[@watchiologist8918]

He didn’t mentioned Seiko

[@AshInTrees]

That is an insane amount of money on that little table.

[@jmeler1254]

He had a nice vintage Seiko turtle would had loved if they showed all the watches

[@Lavishlyfat]

Talking Watches with Jeb Bush

[@ditmerk]

Comming from this to the match your neckless to your watch with Malaika in 2024 😢

[@larsern941]

[@TheBloker9]

Finally!

[@dariosandoval5140]

I guess Ben had no idea who the late great Clay Regazzoni was.

[@HolographicSweater]

haha the nicknames are funny "The Paintless Wonder" "Orange Boy"

[@drzaius844]

This side-eye is intense 5:08

[@bigbird7838]
