The Grey NATO – 211 – Perfect Product #5
This week’s episode is another return to a past format featuring the latest installment of “Perfect Product”. This is the first such episode since EP.148 and this time the TGN Boys are back with another pair of picks featuring a bag that James can’t travel without, and a set of fins that lets Jason get the most out of every aquatic adventure.
Jason and James follow up their picks with two additional picks from within the watch space, so if you’re in the market for an inexpensive strap or the last spring bar tool that you’ll ever need. Stay tuned. Before that, James bought a Timegrapher, and Jason is enjoying his second week of diving in Bonaire.
Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that features some recent moves from past TGN guests Henry Catchpole, Robert Spangle, and Cole Pennington! Click here if you want to play episode 211 from your browser – thanks so much for listening and we’ll see you in the comments.

Weishi is not a silly purchase! I purchased one about 2 years ago and it definitely pays for itself. There are some good watch regulation tutorials on YouTube. The watch repair channel is a great source and he has online watch repair classes too.
Good shout out to CNS (cheapest Nato Straps). Horrid that a copywrite troll is going after that site. Love the ribbed nato (especially the orange on vacation where its playful and doesn't mind getting wet). Set of CNS's on the way to me as we speak.
OH, and good customer service. DHL lost a decent sized delivery during the Pandemic Christmas, and they resent me everything once it was clear than nothing was coming from DHL.
