Nah. It's name after Captain Willard, Martin Sheen's character in Apocalypse Now. It's the watch he wears in the movie.Originally posted by shockrah View Post
It's not just Hollywood, though. The Seiko 6105 was a common watch worn in Viet Nam.
The watch world is full of things like this. Watches that have associations with something else, and that something else gives them a nickname. The Omega Speedmaster "Moon Watch." The "Paul Newman" Daytona. And here, the Seiko "Willard."The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.Comment

My self winding watch seems to always be over wound. Can't understand why.Comment

There's a clutch that supposed to keep the self-winding weight from overwinding the watch. Probably needs serviced?Originally posted by pogo View PostThe truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.Comment
