I’m sorry it’s 150 bucks — why all the fuss?

My father was an Air Force F-4 Pilot in the 1960′s-70′s. The J Crew watch looks like the US Air Force Issue watch he always wore – so much that seeing it in the case at the store stopped me in my tracks. My husband (who flew F-16s in the 1980′s) told me that the watch issued during that his time was much cheaper looking that my Dad’s watch and the one they currently sell at J Crew.

My dad has the one from 1982 and he gave it to me but took it back and now i want it back. i’ve been looking for a watch to replace it now for 10 years but $150 is way to expensive and i have the plastic one that looks like that. it’s nice and light but i like the metal casing

why so bitter? Nobody buying this watch cares about its lack of historical authenticity.

It is indeed pretty close, but just with a plastic case instead of steel and without the faux distressing. Oddly, J. Crew even sells that very watch themselves. But although Timex markets it as a men’s military model, J. Crew describes it as a “Kid’s Camper” watch for some indiscernible reason.

Nearly the EXACT same watch, aside from the watches frame.

For significantly cheaper.
