Stay ConnectedThe Sketchy Boyz Watch Club Podcast brings together voices from across the worlds of military, law enforcement, and intelligence, alongside the watches that move with them. This is a podcast for those who understand that timekeeping isn’t a detail… it’s a decision.
The SBWC Podcast features both reissued episodes from the respected Rico’s Watches Podcast and new original conversations—expanding the archive while building something forward.
Today, I sit down with JR Seeger. JR is a former archeologist, paratrooper, CIA Senior Case Officer and current watch enthusiast and author. We discuss his career path, training, and the mission his is best known for in popular media. We discuss his role as Team Alpha leader of the CIA's team that entered Afghanistan following the events of 9\11 and what occurred on that mission. Additionally, we discuss JR's love of watches and the novels that he authors.
