The Grey NATO - 146 - Collection Inspection 9 (Seiko and Halios)
After a long break (almost 50 episodes) we’re back with the 9th installment of Collection Inspection! But, wait, there’s more news, we also have a brand new home for show notes – notes.thegreynato.com! We have completed a full migration of the show notes, for every episode, onto the Substack platform. Substack not only gives us a simple and easily accessible home for show notes, but it also means that we now have comments for each episode and, if you subscribe to the Substack, the notes (along with a fully embedded player for the show) will be delivered to your email. Please check it out, sign up for an account, leave a comment, and subscribe if you want TGN in your inbox. We are thrilled to have this solution and Jason and James hope you love it.
Back to the show at hand, the TGN boys are chatting gardening, new zines, an amazing new t-shirt, limited edition Scurfas, a lovely new diver from Serica, and a whole lot more. For this Collection Inspection, Jason has brought a properly beaten old Seiko and James is sharing his impressions of the more recent Halios Universa. After that, stay in the mix for a mountainous Final Notes that may see you fighting forest fires and would-be assassins while questioning the reality of the world’s summits.
Thanks so much for listening. As always, you get can in touch via thegreynato@gmail.com, leave a comment on the episode in the notes, or even send us a voice memo as a question for the upcoming Q & A episode. For now, just press play, and thanks so much for listening.

I'm only a few minutes in, but yes, enabling paid subs on substack to support you guys would be very welcome
Very excited for this next TGN chapter gents, congrats, I think this platform will work well, and the interaction with the TGN community will be an added benefit. I would also echo the comments on being willing to add support through subscription, merch, sponsored purchases and the like. I have to say, the move away from Hodinkee seems to have come at a good time, as they appear to be jumping the shark right now. James, congrats on the EXP II article, I just think it deserved a better showcase than Volume 8, which I’m in absolute bemusement about. Perhaps we can get a nice simple no-nonsense (design-wise) version on another medium? ! This is in no way a knock to you - I’m just glad to be able to experience your work (both of you) away from what Hodinkee is becoming... great work guys, onwards and upwards!
