Weekly Roundup #11 — Accidental Vintage Watches, J.Crew’s Shop Talk, and More Western Boots
Welcome back! The sunshine finally returned towards the end of this week, giving me hope that Spring is just around the corner. I’m looking forward to bringing out my lightweight clothes from storage and begin putting them back in the rotation.
I’ve also nearly finished my Spring cleaning and selling everything that doesn’t fit or I’d like to move on from. You can still shop the remaining items here.
Below you’ll find discoveries from this week:

1. Accidental Vintage Watch I’m Admiring
“I accidentally ‘vintaged’ my Black Bay 58” by ktrezzi — Wow, I’ve never seen anything like this happen to a new watch. Modern (a.k.a. “new”) watches are built very differently than ones from the 70s and 80s and are literally constructed to not patina or age over time, making this a high point of conversation over on Reddit’s r/watches.
While you can find vintage Tudor Submariners with a “ghosted” bezel like this one, it was bizarre to see this happen to this watch after a dip in a hot tub. I actually love the way this looks, even though it wasn’t supposed to happen. Tudor has gone after the Neo-vintage vibe with most of its latest models, however, this is taking it to the max. Shoutout to my good friend (and fellow watch nerd) Alex F. for sharing this!
