In this video I will build my version of a modern day “Captain Willard” Seiko Turtle Diver. This build is based on the 6105 Seiko Diver that Martin Sheen’s character (Captain Willard) wore in the film Apocalypse Now.
My build videos are for fun so don’t expect the greatest camera angles, close-ups, or special effects.
I hope you enjoy watching and please like, subscribe and comment below. I love hearing from all of you.
Thanks for watching!

You can do the same thing to the indices on the dial - if you want permanently colored indices. It doesn't prevent the lume from shining.

You've got a real eye for what works visually. A lot of custom watches go over the top, but this example is perfect!

Nice. A parts list along with the part #s would have been nice to see in the description.

I thought the black day/ white date was an odd choice until I saw it finished and it works!

Very nice, i love your choice of this Capt Willard build, well done 👍

That was really well done, I like the day/date option, building a watch from scratch still amazes me.

Cool tip: You can put clear packing tape on the inside face of the dial, covering the day/date window, and then color it with a sharpie. that will give you lots of non-permanent color options for your day/date wheels. It does require a white day/date wheel, obviously. You can even to two-tone wheels the same way.

I love this version ! Only thing,...... and this is nit picking at it's very best/ or worst is the colour red on the second hand and the day window on sunday doesn't quite match . But I would buy one of these in a heartbeat if it was in my price range ! Fantastic mod !

Really nice vid and a beautifully executed variation on this classic. I'm excited to have discovered DIY watch modding so early in my middle-age watch bender. Such a better fit for my budgets and interests than simply saving up and collecting.

Hi Gary, what did you ask them exactly? I've asked around at a couple San Martin, Heimdallr, to see if they'd do one of their watches with an NH36 instead of a 35 so I can swap out the dial for a day-date window. Heimdallr said they would. Did you get a reply?

@Milofchg 2 жыл бұрын

Very nice!!!! I want one. I have a Turtle SRP777 with a coin edged bezel and a Uncle Seiko waffle rubber strap. I love it but a perfect one for me would be a Kanji day wheel black, no PSX logo, maybe no day date at all (Seiko doesn’t make no day date dials). What would be better…. Modern movement with a 6150-8119 case. Do any company make an aftermarket case, or can anyone get a reissue Captain Willard case?
