I have in my collection a Tissot, a Bauhaus inspired Sternglas, a Citizen Promaster NY0040 that was adopted by the Italian Navy...all perfectly great watches...but when I got my SRPE93 Turtle and put it on, it just feels right. Like you said, you either bond with it or you don't. There's just something about a Seiko.

The same is true about many automatic movements and Seiko are no exception. I have several 4R36 and 6R35 movements as well as 7S26 fives. My Alpinist was regulated at the last service but is very inconsistent, to the tune of -12 seconds one day and +5 the next. The best I own have been the 4R35 and 4R57 movements. They keep consistently to 5 seconds per day. Short of a Grand Seiko, few are better.

Does the keeper dig in your skin? I got the SBDC133/SPB207 recently and tried the green strap and the keeper was a bit annoying so I went back to the steel bracelet.

I like your Willard and I had thought about getting this one but picked the SLA063, which the store also had and it’s limited to only 500pcs. I felt a bit guilty for buying it at first for its more than double the price, but I picked it up for $2500 net, 600 less the $3100 retail. I do appreciate the accuracy of its 8L35 movement, which is on par with my +20yr old chronometer Seamaster. What I least like about it is the difficulty of unscrewing the crown, for being fully shrouded by the case. I have gotten compliments from friends commenting that it looks like a very exquisite Seiko lol.

It's another cash in by Seiko. Due to the popularity trending of the Willard watch, Seiko are pricing these out of the market. Not to mention the ever present QC issues with alignment. For the money they are poor value for the actual watch they are. Much better value and quality can be had for far less money with the microbrands like San Martin.

I owned an original Captain Willard back in the 1970's . No watchmaker could make that damn thing keep accurate time. Fast forward several decades and Seiko still can't make an accurate watch. Ridiculous.
