Or just get the San Martin version which is a better made and finished watch for 5x less money and, in the mother of all ironies, its a Seiko on the inside.
@@Felix_love_watches Agreed, but everything's a copy of everything else to some extent or another. People forget the 'iconic' speedmaster is just a copy of the Rodania Geotimer. Its not really the point; the point is why should I pay £1k for a poorly made watch when I can pay £180 for a better made one? If you buy the seiko, all you do is support their practices.
I actually had a few San Martin in my collection, but you know what, I ended up flipping them. Yep, they are fantastic build quality and tick all the spec boxes. But here's the thing, after a while I found myself skipping over them in favour of my "lesser quality''" Seiko's, my few citizen and my Orient. I just couldn't connect with the San Martin. I suppose I like my watches to have a back story and to be more than pretty wrist furniture. But each to their own and I can definitely understand why people would love the San Martin. If they start doing their own design I would take another look. Thanks for reading everyone😊
Great video! Thank you. Liked and subscribed.
Great video, love these Willards
Yeah they are awesome
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your enthusiasm
Thanks mate pleasure is all mine
Awesome Felix, I love your love about Seiko divers

Beautiful green dial!
I love all Willard’s but this green one just speaks to me don’t know why
Get both! You need both! Love that Felix 👌
💪💪💪
Great vid! GBU
Thanks my friend, thank you for your kind word!
The green just pops very popular atm
Very true! It’s really a well done green, slightly sunburst as well
Nice 153 with jubilees bracelet. I have a question which one you prefer willard 151 or 153
151 is great mate, I would have considered 151 if I didn’t have srp777 black turtle hope that helps mate
@@Felix_love_watches thanks Felix
Wich spring bars did you used for the bracelet, the original ones, or the ones that were supllied with the bracelet?
Original one ☝️
Im about to sell my 153 Willard, but after watching this video i think twice to sell it.
Glad it did man
Not at that priced combined with QC issues
This one has zero QC
Mine was aligned right but definitely running fast
