Welcome to episode 22 of the Gray NATO, a loose discussion of travel, adventure, diving, gear, and most certainly

watches. I'm Jason Heaton.

And I'm James Stacy. Today's topic is actually just about a handful of new watches that

Jason and I kind of got in at the same time

on coincidence but before that I do have a little bit of housekeeping that we need to get to

first up a listener and friend of the show Samempton, whom I had the pleasure of meeting in Denver

a little while ago, was cool enough to go out and try to get a form 4457 from the U.S. Customs

group, which we spoke about in episode 21.

So he wanted to get one of these forms for his watches and he was told it's a single

use form that you get as you leave the country and it's good for a single

exit entry kind of process. It's not like the Canadian

one that I got which just lists the items and then it's good until you don't

have that piece of paper anymore.

But if you added some extra time before your exit flight,

you know, as you leave the US,

it could probably be wrapped up in the amount of time

customs usually takes you, depending on your kind of specific process there. So Sam, thanks so much for that

piece of investigative reporting. We really appreciate it. Next up is a huge thank you to everybody

who reached out about helping fund TGM. We were blown away by the support and we can't thank any of you enough for your generous spirit and just your general support of the show.

You know, Jason and I really like making the show and we want to keep doing it.

You know, we're looking into a Patreon system that would allow interested members of the TGM audience to support the show directly and hopefully get some cool swag in exchange for their support.

So you know more on that as it develops we're not in a huge rush.
