The Grey NATO – 239 – The Watches You Asked Us To Talk About
This week the boys are back to chat about several watch brands and models that the TGN Slack Crew requested as topics. Since Jason and James can’t possibly cover everything that’s of interest, we asked the Crew what watches have been missing from the show and dedicated an episode to filling in some of the blanks. From Christopher Ward to Tag Heuer, new Rolex, Ressence, Longines, and Damasko, it was a blast to discover some new watches, and we thank the Crew for helping to shape this episode.
From the get-go, Jason has made some modifications to the Land Rovers (some intentional, some not), and be sure to stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will have you previewing an exciting new book about watchmaking and flipping the pages of another book all about Afghan Style.

No new episode this week?
Another vote for Sherpa Watches / Martin Clocke. Met him last year at the WatchPro show in London. Really interesting. And a nice link to the Sherpas themselves (plus a little bit of Tibetan religion, from memory).
