The Grey NATO - 84 - Homage, Yes or No?

The boys are in full summer mode as Jason gets back from another trip deep into London with Omega and James is on mic from HODINKEE HQ in NYC. From the depths of the five oceans to war museums and maybe even a pub, Jason has plenty to share from Jolly Ole and James soldiers on after his MacBook Pro finally gave up and drew its final breath.

For the main topic, Jason and James attempt to dig into the idea of homage watches. The good, the bad, and the ugly – you might be surprised that the boys aren’t entirely on the same page when it comes to this hotly contested and entirely divisive topic. Jason and James do their best to capture both sides of the discussion so please let them know in the comments. Do you like homage watches? Would you buy an homage with your own money?

Finishing up with a varied set of final notes, James has a new camera case and Jason has an excellent Netflix diving documentary and a NATO-adjacent strap recommendation. This episode is proudly brought to you by Bremont Watches – thanks so much for listening and just press play!
