The Grey NATO - 68 - What Watch Shoud I Get?

Episode 68 is all about how to pick your next watch, and why it might not be the best question left to someone else. But first, catch up with a jet-lagged Jason fresh back from a trip to Sri Lanka full of old Land Rovers and more. Likewise, James is back from NYC with Free Solo on the mind and both of the guys are excited to be back in New York for the upcoming Hodinkee 10 events in early December (see you there?).

When trying to pick your next watch, an email to a podcast host or watch editor might not get you any closer to finding a watch that works for your wrist, this is why it’s hard for Jason and James to tell you what to buy. Watch taste requires experience and time to develop, and whether you get that experience from meetups, trying on friend’s watches, or buying and selling lots of different models, you have to be in the mix to figure it out - no one can do it for you. Listen in as Jason and James dig in on how to pick a watch, how to know what works for you, and if it makes sense to think about your watches as investments.

Finish up with Final Notes about risk from the filmmakers behind Free Solo, stretches we should all be doing every day, a gorgeous new magazine about Chamonix, and James stepping way out of his element to talk about cooking.
