The Grey NATO - 154 - July Q & A
Somehow it’s the end of July so Jason and James sat down to dig into a fresh batch of your amazing questions! Addressing everything from dream auction watches to birth year watches, quartz vs. mechanical, and even Christmas in Bonaire, the questions are varied and as fun as always.
A huge thank you to everyone who sent in questions and if you have a question be sure to record it into the voice app on your phone and then email the file to thegreynato@gmail.com (a big thanks in advance). Any direct questions or follow-ups, please drop them into the comments for this episode on The Grey NATO Substack. Until then, just press play, and thanks so much for listening.

“Judge a man by his questions rather by his answers” - Voltaire
Justin, the Wristorian, is the man. He genuinely gets to know the heroes behind the "wristory" and gets to hear and share their incredible stories firsthand! Great recommendation.
David, if you’d like to further explore the option of Bonaire please look into Harbor Village. We’ve gone several times and spent last Christmas there. There’s a very accessible beach with excellent snorkeling. They also have a dive shop that can take you and family out on amazing beginner dives.
