Very cool store in central New Jersey

I’m gonna try not to make this sound like an ad, but I just found a really cool menswear shop in Far Hills, NJ called Hans Clothier. most that lurk in this subreddit are into classic American style, prep, Americana, etc.. and this place is absolutely worth checking out for that style even leaning a bit more into the workwear/equestrian/hunting vibe. The brand mix is wild for one roof: Polo, Barbour, Sid Mashburn, Wythe (the Wythe site is what pointed me to this place), Relwen, and a few others. Really thoughtful selection, all in one spot.

I’m always happy to find a place where I can actually try this stuff on instead of ordering blind online or having to take a trip into NYC. It’s also woman owned and family run, started by two sisters who named the shop after their dad. Anyway I love seeing a small independent shop like this doing it right and basically carrying all the stuff I already like. If you’re within driving distance, I’d say it’s worth the trip. Curious if anyone else has been or knows of other indie shops in the region with a similar vibe.

Crown won't catch thread on oldish Aquaracer Calibre 5

Aquaracer Calibre 5 (wan 2110). I just noticed the crown will no longer catch and screw in. Brought it to a dealer (not the original AD) and they want $695 for a full servicing which is approaching the current gray market value for this watch (sub 1k). Please tell me there is a better way to get this fixed? I don't particularly care about this piece. Should I try a non-ad watch repair or just yolo it with a crown that won't seal and just remember not to go swimming with it?
