      I actually have this sitting on my wrist as I type this:




      Got to take it to Florida for the first time and it was flawless in the ocean.

      I swapped out the band for a NATO watch strap.

        That's one of my watches, but it's not a spare.
        The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.

          I really like Seiko dive watches. I've got a Willard.

              Nah. It's name after Captain Willard, Martin Sheen's character in Apocalypse Now. It's the watch he wears in the movie.



              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."

                      There's a clutch that supposed to keep the self-winding weight from overwinding the watch. Probably needs serviced?
