The Grey NATO – 185 – The TGN Auction For Ukraine And The Latest From Bremont
With the interest of the discovery of the endurance I am in the middle of reading Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica’s Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night which is about the Belgium 1897 antarctic expedition on the Belgica getting stuck in the ice which is also featured a young Roald Amundsen among its crew
Listening to what was going into that auction sounded amazing. As the items continued getting listed I realized there was no way I'd be able to afford it! haha Very cool. Hopefully it goes well.
The topic of bronze watches came up. I had been really curious and recently decided to pick up the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical Bronze (hate how long that name is), and I absolutely love it. I've put it on other NATOs but it honestly looks incredible on the OEM leather NATO. We will see how I feel about it once it starts to develop patina, but so far I love it.
