The Grey NATO - 02 - Origin Stories

In episode 2, Jason and James discuss their watch and adventure origin stories. From Seiko divers to Timex Indiglo, the guys share how they got started in the watch game. Later we learn of a killer "new" acquisition for Jason, and James has the lowdown on an ideal tool for the strap-hungry Tudor or Rolex owner. Finally, the guys recommend a stack of books, ted talks, online videos, and some Toxic Nato straps.
