I've had the SPB301 for a few days now and wanted to share my experience with it for those that are considering picking it up. Had a viewer also request a lume shot and some wrist rolls on my 6.8 inch wrist; so here it is. Apologies for my overuse of expressions like "absolutely" and "really really". Very new to recording videos still but hope to improve these bad habits in the future. Thanks for stopping by!

Hey mate great vid! Congrats again! Seiko fan here and owing the spb147, I always wanted to pick up a Willard, I tried on the green and the blue LE both great but this spb301 is truely the best so far unbelievably dial, you can see how they are slowly gradually showing their craftsmanship (dial like GS), 2 things I wish this spb301 has..1) no lume on 3 clock position. 2) lume color change to blue same as the spb147, not sure why the lume changed color . Great piece mate!

I have a special place in my heart for Seiko fans. It's the brand that started it all for me and one that will be with me for the rest of my life. Ooooo the SPB147 is the one with that lovely chocolatey gilt dial , such a great choice!! Agreed, I was on the same fence as you. This SPB301 finally sent me over the edge to pick up a Willard. Love your suggestions for improvements. Would definitely prefer the off-blue lume on the SPB147 over the lumabrite green on this SPB301. Thanks again for watching!

The Willard, with that dial & the bracelet looks so cool. Great video mate. Just suscribed, to your channel, as well..👍.

Appreciate that Rahul! 🙏 ❤️ You have great taste. I agree, Seiko knocked it out of the park with this one!

The shade of the stainless steel on the case and bracelet is due to the diashield anti-scratch coating. My spb143 has the same coating and I agree- I love how it looks- almost titanium like- 😎

Hilarious I was trying to find a review for the bracelets on my breitling superocean 44 … and this video nailed it and compared directly to seikos.

@watchhunt9600 2 года назад

Awesome! The angled Breitling SO bracelets are great. My only point of criticism is that clasp. Glad to see they're upgrading them on the new models.

Truly a beauty... If I didn't have the 151 I would buy this... I went for the 313 slim reissue

@watchhunt9600 2 года назад

Oh man, it was sooo hard for me to choose between the 313 and the 301. The 313 reissue is gorgeous 😍, congrats! This Willard barely nudged it out but I still long for the 313 sometimes... must resist!

Thanks for your review. Recently purchase the SPB237, a bit « vintage » vibe Willard, I just love it.. First time I ear some goods critiques about the bracelet. I think I could like it too. Mine was supplied with 2 good nato strap

@watchhunt9600 2 года назад

I just looked up the SPB237 and... Damn! I must say I really like it. That matted gray dial looks sooooo gorgeous. It goes really well with those vintage hour markers. These willards are fantastic on Natos and rubber. Makes an already comfortable watch even more comfy! Congrats on your pick up and thanks for watching!

seikos are notorious for being a good deal. The 6r35 is a workhorse. the fact it's 6 beats per seconds, means you need to service it 20% less than an 8 tick. probably why the Swiss use 8 ticks...
