The Grey NATO -106 - The Isolation Tapes // A Refreshing Watch

Back for week… we don’t even know, but TGN is back because it’s definitely 100% Thursday. In this episode, Jason and James are chatting everything from new weights to the history of the SAS, some new reviews, and a lot more. The main topic surrounds the idea of a “refresher watch” the sort of watch that inadvertently gets your watch enthusiasm back in gear. From oddball Seikos to inexpensive vintage watches and maybe even doing your own mods, the guys pull from all corners of the watch world for ideas that will refresh while still respecting a budget.

In Final Notes, Jason has an amazing adventure film now available online (for free!) and James has inherited a farm and bought some (virtual) chickens. Send your questions and comments to [email protected], just press play, and a huge thanks to The Hodinkee Shop for their continued support of these weekly Isolation Tape episodes. Catch you online.
