With Jason’s month in Sri Lanka coming to a close, we figured that we could end April with an in-depth chat about his experiences over the past month or so. From dog bites and rabies treatments to the heat, the amazing food, the ongoing crisis affecting the country, and even some local adventures, Jason and Gishani have had an exciting month.
Stay in the mix for an installment of Final Notes that features the story of a beloved (and well-loved) family Seiko and a high-speed look at building a lovely cabin. Thanks so much for listening, just press play! Also, due to the travel schedule, the April Supporter Q&A will come out the first week of May (just watch your feeds).

The Grey NATO – 190 – One Month In Sri Lanka
I loved the Time & Tide Seiko story! Very cool, and great watch. Yes, I put on my SKX after inspiration.
Another great episode, and a fantastic audio companion piece to the weekly Swimpruf reports. Jason, curious what your thoughts are on the CWC Royal Navy Auto, as compared to the quartz version. As someone with extensive experience with both, is there anything that would make you choose one over the other?
