This week, the TGN boys are drafting their “One Watch” picks at a variety of price points. Ranging from under $500 to over $5000, Jason and James made their picks for watches that could work as their only watch while also sticking to a specific budget. Some of the picks are predictable, others are surprising, but all of them would make great one watch options.

From the start, James is back from a tour of Switzerland and Austria and Jason is about to hop on a plane to his home away from home in Bonaire. Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will give you an insider’s lesson on a very special engine and the details on a new and very-TGN streaming service that also happens to be free.

Great episode guys!

On a slight tangent here but each time I hear you guys mention Pelagos I head off to local online sites here in the U.K. to check availability and this time around all the big guns eg Watches Of Switzerland no longer list the 42mm versions. They only display the 39mm and the FXD, which begs the question: is the 42mm being discontinued or about to get an upgrade…?

Very sad if it were to be discontinued
