    Maybe this has been said before, Jeff, but it would be great if you’d show these watches on a neutral surface (white or grey). The orange is making your camera do insane things to the colour balance…
    On my phone the dial looks purple.
    Congrats on a great pickup. I’m a former 6105 owner and this one is the re-issue that appeals to me. That and the green dial.

    We look forward to seeing your 44mm Willard in a couple weeks? Maybe next month?
    I think this is closer to the original scale and I think it has the nicer movement, also, in addition to slightly better details and overall quality.. I would think so for the cost of this thing. I also think the crown position is also in a little better position.. in line with the 4 o'clock position vs 3:45 as the 42mm and most other Seiko divers. It's subtle and small detail, but I think it is that much better to be offset out of the way. And, I think your wrist size could easily work with the 44mm version.
    Is this one magnetized? Maybe why running so fast.

    One thing that I don't like about this 44mm version, is the fact that the enlinks of the bracelet are not fitted to the case of the watch properly. It has the same issue that the Sumo has. Other than that, congrats for the new purchase!

    • @JeffreyMcMahon
      @JeffreyMcMahon  3 года назад

      So you think it might be a matter match for the waffle strap that it comes with.

    • @alexandruc.5647
      @alexandruc.5647 3 года назад

      You should definitely try putting it on the strap and see how it fits. It might be a better match for it then it is for the bracelet.
      Maybe Strapcode will make something for this one as well. I really don't get why they leave that space there and they are not fitting bracelets properly. The same with the Sumo which has a good bracelet that is ruined by the stamped clasp and the endlinks which aren't matched to the case...

    What kind of crazy, totally addicted, seiko design language trapped, gollum beholds his precious on a Friday night? Friday the 13 no less? What mania drives this man? At least I am not posting videos on a Friday night. oh no. I'm normal. I am merely wearing my seiko samurai (third watch I've worn today), like a watch minimalist, and not scrolling through watch forums while the family sleeps. I'm just doing a little research.
    And what, for the love of delicious tacos, does it take to get a wrist shot of this 44mm beauty on that 8 inch wrist? The International Watch Community demands it, Jeff!
    Hmmm... I wonder what a Willard's going for right now on ebay....
