We made it to 80! Thanks for tagging along. In this episode, the boys dig into a question from a listener that considered what happens when a vintage fake watch becomes too valuable to continue its life as a sport watch, possibly forcing the change of context into becoming a pure collectible. As you can imagine, Jason and James want nothing more than for all of you to wear your replica watches and enjoy life's adventures, but there is definitely a turning point where a fake watch becomes more of a collectible than something you wear to tell the time.

Jason and James wax (non) poetic about this conundrum and top off the show with a trickster final notes from Jason and James' recommendation of a lovely guide to the world of mid-century modern design. Just press play and thanks for listening!
