The Grey NATO – 225 – Diving Under The Ice And Into The Latest From AP
Few episodes could better illustrate the breadth of the TGN vibe than this one as the boys dig into Jason’s recent return to ice diving on a frozen Minnesota lake as James arrives home from a trip to Switzerland to see the latest and greatest from Audemars Piguet. Freezing cold water, starwheels, frozen regulators, and ultra-thin perpetual calendars come together in what ended up being a fun chat.
From the start, Jason and James are each rocking new – but rather different – dive watches, and be sure to stay tuned for a Final Notes that will keep you under the ice as James rambles on about a piece of tech that hasn’t failed to keep him entertained.

As a frequent air traveler, I couldn’t agree more with James’s observation on business class and children. Can’t we all just agree that children under six belong in the back 1/3 of the plane? I get traveling is hard on children, so let’s all minimize the impact of that on third parties.
Enjoying this episode a lot, but had to pause it to say thanks for sharing the Momentum Sea Quartz 300. I’ve already signed up for the restock notification!
