Tried this willard out at the store recently. Definitely will be added to my collection this summer.

[@watchat888]

Sorry for being late. But did you managed to get the willard?

[@zakzakzakir]

255 is my favorite, and the one that I purchased. Love the the round hour markers, and I find the case to be a unique shape, while not being too bulky.

[@watchat888]

Congrats there Zakir Hemraj. Do you find yourself wearing it often?

[@zakzakzakir]

@@watchat888 all the time!

[@belotan4218]

Just ordered the SPB257.

[@edmundchiang]

Nice review. Any updates on the turtle after having it for a while now?

[@mattjkendall]

like all but without seeing in person 255 is my fav.

[@ZardSalleh]

Got a 253 with an orange black racer nato

[@DrChavezMR]

Just order the 255, hoping it will arrive soon

[@watchat888]

Congrats there. Has it arrived?

[@ArjunSingh-rh4ch]

Tried all 3 of them and found the Willard the best. Great review and a great choice. You can cut the strap to make it a single pass for a much more better fit. Loving this watch, thanks for making my decision easier.

[@watchat888]

Thanks there Arjun Singh. Wear it with good health and enjoy it.

[@Signal11th]

Same here I went with the 65 one.

[@LosRelojesdeSergio]

It is not the same case of turtule , is the Captain Willard case

[@tanthecase2762]

Hope you are feeling better now. Stay safe there. I would go for the turtle you have.

[@watchat888]

Yeah, thanks TantheCase.

[@asiantimepieces]

Personally I like more the regular series instead of the black but they look great.

[@laugh8349]

I like the mm200

[@laugh8349]

Get well soon.

[@watchat888]

Thanks buddy.

[@ezan318]

Not exactly a Turtle - its actually a Capt Willard - famously named after the character from the movie 'Apocalypse Now'. The main difference between a Turtle and a Capt Willard, the crown guards on the Willard is more pronounced than it is on the Turtle :)

[@watchat888]

Good to know. Thanks Evan Yaakub.

[@alvinlim2578]

i prefer 253 or 255, but that's quite similar to my 143. haha. not a big fan of turtle, not because of its design. more like it won't look nice on me. anyway, good review and the colour combo is indeed something different for Seiko.

[@watchat888]

Thanks. Yeah, the turtle is a bit tricky. You either like it or hate it...hahaha

[@maxpaws3977]

Does the black on the watch wear off eventually?

[@watchat888]

Nah the black remains to be black. Quality seems alright

[@maxpaws3977]

Nice looking watches I must admit, not usually into black watches but these alright. But the limit edition of 5'500 is a bit of a joke, could you really call it a limited edition at that amount of pieces made?

[@watchat888]

Hahaha absolutely agree. To me anything more than 1000 pieces shouldn't be regarded as limited edition. There is really no point for it to be. What's your threshold number?

[@maxpaws3977]

@@watchat888 I think a company like Seiko can get away with a 2,000 limited edition for a popular model (but no more), for a company not that well known or popular even 1,000 is too much for a limited edition. But yeah I am somewhat annoyed at the 5,500 ''limited edition'' black Edition Willard, but I got it at a good price.

[@PukaHeadMan]

Looks more like a Willard instead of a Turtle to me.

[@DannyDeDios]

Turtle is what i ordered

[@watchat888]

Have you got it yet? Let me know your views on it.

[@darshansardesai6537]

Willard is lug to lug 41.6 ? Seems odd with 42 case sizing

[@watchat888]

Haha...yeah feels stunted. But looks good.

[@darshansardesai6537]

@@watchat888 the other willards seem to be 46mm, is this same spec or a different size altogether

[@edmundchiang]

@@darshansardesai6537 This turtle indeed has the shortest lug-to-lug amongst the other turtles that I know of. The other turtles appear to have 46-47 mm lug-to-lug.

[@John_Smith2302]

I purchased the the SPB253. That is all.

[@watchat888]

Good choice. Enjoying it?

[@John_Smith2302]

@@watchat888 absolutely loving it.

[@bigdan2828ify]

I'm waiting on my 255J1 in the mail... can you tell me the lug width on these?

[@watchat888]

Hey mate, the lug width is 20mm. So have you gotten yours yet?

@@bigdan2828ify Thanks buddy that means so much to me. And congratulations there on your new watch.
