I have a lightly restored original 6105-8110 which for me, is just too good to wear everyday. So I thought I'd get this which, although slightly smaller, wears very well and looks just as good. A superb watch. Spot on service from Watcho too. Greatest Seiko watch I've owned. Great watch and Reasonably priced. You can spot the quality. The watch has a great presence on the wrist. Love it! If I could change anything, I'd have it solar powered because I have 11 Seikos and try to rotate wearing them so the 3 automatics I have are usually stopped by the time I next wear them so have to reset it. Not a complaint, just an observation. Really lovely quality watch, a real step up from normal Seikos. Outstanding watch at an amazing price. Great service, too. Recommended. Awesome watch a real classic done well. I've had Rolex and other top makes but you can't beat a Seiko. best Watches at the price. and Watcho is a great company to deal with. Fantastic customer service, fantastic shop. Love my Capt Willard. Everyone was very helpful. For me, went the extra mile. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
