I was looking around on ebay for watchbands for the timex I got (from your post a while back) and noticed someone selling what appears to be the EXACT same watch and an AE strap for over $80. – a few poor souls appear to have bid on it too. It seems as though he’s trying to sell several of these and calling them “jcrew watches”. I thought you’d be interested to see. I figure whoever it is must have taken your idea.

Huh. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? Even when the person doing the imitating is ripping people off? Probably just a coincidence, but what’s certain is that there’s something more than fishy going on here.
That’s no J. Crew Timex no matter what the item description says. It’s a T2N228 with a substitute strap. The very same model that was used in our 10 minute watch refresh project from mid April:

Might be an AE strap, might be a J. Crew strap, but no matter the strap, the watch itself retails for $31.11
The seller is basically marking it up by double. Buyer beware. Especially on Ebay… right?

It's nice when a brand warns their customers in advance of raising their prices.
Spring ready sneakers, grooming goods, watches, etc. Saddle up. Amazon's spring sale is on.
New sportcoats. Italian desert boots. J. Crew dips their promo-toes into spring.
From de-scaling irons to shining shoes to smelling coat pits. Let's clean up our act.
New Seikos are on sale, and J. Crew's Suit event is expiring soon.
The two Bs go head to head, collar to collar, and lapel to lapel.
