I just got this watch last week and it's my new favorite. I noticed it's been under the radar so I'm glad you took the time to do a review. I remember watching Apocalypse Now in the early 80's when I was in the Marines. I actually noticed Sheen's watch in the movie and remember thinking that I'd love to have one lol! A nice Seiko diver like that was a luxury I couldn't afford at the time though. Now I'm just thrilled to have the "Willard". I put it on an Uncle Seiko "chocolate bar" strap like the one in the movie. I haven't even sized the bracelet yet. I found out about the watch from a Gnomon email ad and I knew right then and there I had to have one. I pounced before they sold out a couple days later.
This 151 beats the original Willard by being slightly smaller and rectangular (better fit) while retaining all the Willard DNA from the bezel inwards. I have one and absolutely love it! A black rubber strap is a must!
Thanks for showing the new Willard to us. I was ready to buy it then I got a great deal on a Pelagos so this one will have to wait. Maybe in a few months. Stay safe!
this thing is nice I feel kind of sorry for people that bought SLA033. I am wearing SBDC101 today which is a nice upgrade from the SBDC059 I own. I will be adding one of these as well as soon as I can. Just bought 4 watches last month so need to repenish the watch funds.
The SLA033 looks much closer to the original model. I wished I had that model.
@@MrPleers not really
I picked up this and the SBDC101. I really like what they did for the most part. Really nice designs. I really like they went with the classic hands and no chapter rings.
surfitli they did it right 👍🏻
finally a review comparing it to the original! good job!
I have a new spb151 and a 1971 near mint original coming this week!!! Great vid!!
The original Willard has the original vibe. Mine still has the traffic light intact. A keeper. I have the green Willard reinterpretation with the rubber strap. Soft with nice fresh pattern. And, for the first time, we have a shorter strap, so no extra length sticking out. The aluminium bezel insert does set it back a little, but, it's nicely finished, though. Also a keeper for me.
I wish they kept the longer strap. I have an 8 inch wrist.
please check out my willard x with different straps option
The new Seiko looks gorgeous. But for reasons I can't explain, I prefer the original you handled in this video.
What is the difference with the spb 151?
Of all the Seikos you have reviewed, I still love the SBDC051 the best!
SCOTT CASTLE yes that’s a nice one
I've got a 051, they are great watches, seikos best in years
Martin Harrison it’s my favorite Seiko and my daily diver 😎
@@castle5841 , I still think this watch will go down as an absolute classic by seiko. It seemed expensive at the time, but now it's an absolute bargain pre owned. I think it's seikos best watch since the skx, and it's miles better than that. It's as good as anything seiko have done in the last 30 years for it's price point. Simply a mesmerising watch.
That original is so badass!!😎👍🤙

Should it be mentioned that this is a $1500 watch?
When you see them side by side and you notice that the crown on the reissue is not at 4 o'clock. Really sour about this :))
Nice re-issue! Would have like to see a timegrapher test.
Mine runs +4 a day
Can you do video comparing this to the 101?
Nick K this 109 isn’t mine and not with me , maybe later on 👍🏻
Love the video.. please check out my willard x with different straps option
Have the Limited edition seiko Captain Willard with the 8L35 movement more accurate than my Omega Seamaster 300M 42mm shocked me
Love 💘 this watch attracts no attention
Plus the Captain Willard I have has a much cleaner dial doesn't have the prospects on the dial
Green Erick very nice 👍🏻
Green Erick yes but it Cost 4000$ :)
@@jeromef2001 Yes but should not get any attention nobody's going to mug me for it because it's just a Seiko .
Having a Omega Seamaster 300M 42mm Can draw too much attention
Mine was misaligned to hell..... seiko authentic at least.
I purchased this watch, and after having it for a while, I don't see the justification for the price of it, being twice what it's worth, compared with similar watches, such as the 2020 Alpinist. Both have the same movement, both are 200M water resistance. Why is the Willard twice as much? Simply because it's a watch in a film. I like it, but I won't make that mistake again.
ChadatWork shut up lol
@@TWG911 Brilliant comment on a watch channel. You're too dumb to consider my point. The double-fingered British salute to you.
OVERPRICED
