A year with the Seiko SPB151 Willard. (SBDC109)

Показать описание

I'm back in Bimini, Bahamas with Willard and the Black Bay Pro. The last time I was here I was testing out my new Willard and now going a bit over a year on I find out that it hasn't lost its step.

I am a huge fan of my Black Bay Pro and truthfully thought I wouldn't be wearing the Willard since the BBpro is such a great all-around (dare I say) one-watch collection.

But no, I actually found myself wearing the Willard about 80% of the time. The rest was taken by the BBpro strictly at night when one had to 'dress up" for the occasion.

So in conclusion... the Willard has held its own and will be remaining a permanent fixture in my watch collection.

Enjoy the video!

I love this watch, and I love watching this video. It almost feels like I am there on the beach, this is a great free five-minute vacation. Thank you!

I have a BB58 and love it but for every day beach watch I wear my Seiko spb143 diver . It can really take a beating and it is a beautiful watch just like the Willard .

I have watched your video a couple times over the past year and I really enjoy it. Well done, an thank you for your perspective on this watch. I've just bought one.

I've got the green one. It lights me up more now than when I got it. It goes away for a few weeks, comes out and that green dial wows me more each time. It puts me at rest knowing its sat safely in my box and I can look at it whenever I want.

Great review! I think you sold me on it. I’ve been on the fence until I watched your video. Looks great! Thanks.

Your BB Pro is a real stunner, I must say. My Christopher Ward C63 Sealander is very close in specs and build as your Tudor, with the exception of it not being a “true GMT, ” but an office GMT. As for your Capt. Willard, I anticipate on picking one up sometime this year. I already own several Seikos, including a PADI Turtle. Thanks for pushing me closer to that goal (much to the chagrin of my wife!). Great presentation of the Willard in its natural environment!

This is how watch reviews should be done. Awesome review sir!

Awesome review, I have one of these on the way and an Uncle Straps tropic to go with it. Really thinking about the Tudor. How tall are you? I like the 39mm also. Thank you for your time!

You should try getting your hands on SLA051, naomi uemura watch.
Step up from the spb with same tool dive watch vibe

Great video. Hello from a fellow Floridian! I’ve been looking at the Willard version with the slightly patinated lume and the grey textured dial. But the all black and silver looks nice too ….

This is an excellent review of a very cool watch. In fact you motivated me to find one, and buy the 7 friends watch band. It's a terrific combo, and I very much enjoy wearing it. Your HD views were helpful, and details concerning the specs were what I needed to put me over the top. This is not a watch you can go to an Ad and try on before you buy due to its current age. Although your video allows one the vantage to feel like they're trying it on and applying it to whatever circumstances they have. I appreciate your reviews for your common sense approach on commentary, not trying to sell anything you don't substantiate, and wonderful sense of style that is sympathetic to my own. I believe that you have an excellent future in your watch reviewing future, and keep up the good work. You're a wonderful asset to anyone considering any particular model that you're looking at. Many thanks-

Just snagged one used for $700, in excellent condition with all the trimmings.

Undoubtedly a beautiful watch and also an iconic watch and absolutely in its environment by the sea, waves and beach and any outdoor setting.
However, there are reports that the Willard doesn't keep reliable time, that's what I've heard on this platform, anyway. That's what has always put me off making a purchase.
