This week’s episode is another return to a past format featuring the latest installment of “Perfect Product”. This is the first such episode since EP.148 and this time the TGN Boys are back with another pair of picks featuring a bag that James can’t travel without, and a set of fins that lets Jason get the most out of every aquatic adventure.

This episode’s product perfection: the Tenba DNA bag (left) and the Da Fin Hawaii Pro Classics (right).

Jason and James follow up their picks with two additional picks from within the watch space, so if you’re in the market for an inexpensive strap or the last spring bar tool that you’ll ever need. Stay tuned. Before that, James bought a Timegrapher, and Jason is enjoying his second week of diving in Bonaire.

The Weishi No.1900 Timegrapher measuring the SPB143. CWC 1983 Re-Issue for scale.

Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that features some recent moves from past TGN guests Henry Catchpole, Robert Spangle, and Cole Pennington! Click here if you want to play episode 211 from your browser – thanks so much for listening and we’ll see you in the comments.

These episodes are the worst...on the waiting list for a Hassler after putting it off for months, I regret waiting so long. And just got another CNS package in the mail.
