Listen "Déjà Vaer"
Episode Synopsis
Aaron picked up another Vaer, so we crack open some beers and compare his newest field watch to the one he bought back in Episode 17. How does it stack up in day-to-day wear, and does it justify a second look at the brand? We get into it.Marc also has a new addition. He has been refining his collection and letting pieces go, but he added a second Black Bay 58, this time in navy. The BB58 continues to be a nearly perfect watch in Marc’s world, and owning two just makes sense at this point.The conversation takes a turn thanks to a Blancpain Villeret sighting at Keeneland, sending us down a small, gold, vintage dress-watch rabbit hole. We talk a couple Grand Seiko ref. J14070s and then bring ourselves back to reality by landing on the Seiko Alpinist Champion ref. 85899 as a more practical “wear-once-or-twice-a-year” piece.A new Vaer, a second Black Bay 58, and a little trip through elegant vintage watch territory. Grab a beer and join us.
