Welcome to episode 12 of the Grey NATO, a loose discussion of travel, adventure, diving, gear, and most certainly watches.

I'm Jason Heaton.

And I'm James Stacy. Today we're going to do something a bit different. We received a thought-provoking question from a listener and this one simple query is actually going to be our main topic for this episode.

So Scott kindly wrote in and asked, if both of you could pick one watch to be your only watch forever

Which would get the nod and why? So this is kind of like a perennial question. I've heard this many times. I've been asked it on

Instagram and in emails before and I think it's fun to do as a conversation I think is a one-sided thing. It's a little bit dry.

And then as an added mix, while I think is a one-sided thing, it's a little bit dry.

And then as an added mix, while Jason and I generally can see kind of a mass

idea, like a note for the show, we've separated our notes,

so I actually don't know what watch

Jason selected or why and he doesn't know what I've selected and we haven't

chatted about it beforehand so you know Scott this is a great question and I'm really

excited to to dig in on it so I think it's fair to limit this hypothetical exercise to

answers that are realistically within the realm of what

Jason and I would actually spend on a watch so it's not really like

a one lottery watch it's a it's more of the you know one watch that we would actually buy and then wear forever.

Sound about right, Jason?

Yeah, that's kind of my take on it as well.

I mean, I think, you know, funny thing is I think the types of watches you and I gravitate towards are

generally not the the 50,000 you know paddock chronograph or something like that

anyway so I think we're probably going to be pretty aligned on on budget and kind of type of watch but

it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
