It’s the last show of 2022 and the TGN boys thought it would be fun to look back on a great year for watches by focusing on some of their favorite new models. From oddball Citizens to new GMTs, jazz-era dress watches, and a heck of a run from Tudor, 2022 brought us all plenty of great watches to talk about.
Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will have you planning an overland build as you try to get your de Havilland Vampire home in time for Christmas. As a true final note for 2022 from Jason and James, thank you so much for all the support, the comments, the questions, the likes, and everything else this past year. We wouldn’t have gotten here without all of you and we couldn’t be happier to enter 2023 with some great plans for The Grey NATO. Happy Holidays.

Gents,
A great way to end the year. Congrats on all your successes!
My 2022 watch is my new MKII Paradive. Well worth waiting for as Bill’s team builds the watches that are an homage to the past but built for the present and the future.
