Traveled to University of Arkansas to visit my youngest son who graduates this year. Caught a couple of baseball games and a Brewfest. Boy! They do take their sports and their drinking seriously down there. Saturday, I wore a Christopher Ward collaboration. A friend of mine, retired military, was looking to buy a new home and needed money for the down payment. He sold me his Christopher Ward Bespoke watch created for the Sketchy Boyz Watch Club (SBWC) (with a promise to be 1st buyer if I ever sold it). The central insignia features a skull wearing a beret with a spade symbol, set against a background of repeating "twin flags" (the current Christopher Ward logo). This specific engraving is part of a custom collaboration between the watch manufacturer and the SBWC group. That caseback is wicked.9 Key Details of this Watch - Collection: Christopher Ward Bespoke. - Base Model: This collaboration typically uses the C60 Trident Pro 300 as its foundation.

Up for a little fun and a Blind Poll? I have not been doing many White Dial Wednesdays, so happen to have four White Dial Watches for White Dial Wednesdays that I have not shared yet. It happens. So, let's have a little fun. I have assigned each a letter here — A, B, C, or D. The letters were assigned to the watches randomly, not by cost order, by when I obtained them, alphabetically, or anything else. Without saying or describing what any of the watches are, which one would you like me to share this Wednesday — A, B, C, or D?
