Was wondering what thoughts were on this.

The seller says it hasn’t been polished, but it certainly looks like at least the back has been polished to me.

Seems to be in astonishingly good shape. Any idea if any of the parts have been replaced? The other option is that it’s just a very well-kept piece.

Thanks.

I’m late to the Willard watches and just brought home my local retailer’s last one (Limited edition). I was after another model (green or ICE version) but this watch said buy me, buy me…

Anyway, after I got home, I noticed the sloppy end links, worse on the 6 o’clock side.
Even my SSK’s end links are tight.

Is this normal to Capt. Willard models, or did I get a dud?

We need a place to keep the SARG photos, so come on, let’s see them. Here’s mine…

WUS search only found a very old link to a no longer existing product page, so here we go

Pretty sure I know the answer to this but I’m looking for confirmation from the experts out there.

I have a friend who asked me to look out for a 7548. I found one on Mercari Japan at a good price so picked it up. It looked to have a black dial and bezel in the photos but on arrival both are definitely dark blue.

Case back says 7548-7000.

Dial is marked 7548 – 70IL T

What do you think is Seiko’s best looking diver? I have a lot, but this is my fave – only problem, too small for me!

Here’s my missus’ weekend watch, the 2205-0760, first hi-beat professional lady diver – 1970’s sometimes called Baby Willard, but was actually higher grade professional watch with better movement & better crown system. I wish this was made exactly as is only scaled to 42mm – I think proportions and aesthetic are perfect.
