Dude... is that a Seiko Willard? Because I had one of those at the time! My first decent watch! Bought at Service Merchandise. I still have it!If the OP can write a story like that from the 80's ........ Just think if he would have been there in the 60's....
He would have been a best selling novelist. Me in the 1980's...

I'm pretty sure it was. Served me well. When I went to welding full time I put it away, somewhere. To this day, I have not found it.Dude... is that a Seiko Willard? Because I had one of those at the time! My first decent watch! Bought at Service Merchandise. I still have it!

Very cool! If you find it... get it restored. They are probably the coolest watch of the era!I'm pretty sure it was. Served me well. When I went to welding full time I put it away, somewhere. To this day, I have not found it.
Our first computer came from there. Saved me thousands. (A financial program allowed us to see how much we were loosing in the horse business.)Very cool! If you find it... get it restored. They are probably the coolest watch of the era!
I got mine from Service Merchandise c. late '70's and wore it until I got a quartz Tissot in 1983. Which I wore until I got a Rolex in 1992... My Willard is sort of one of the best watches I ever had and still have! Of course, at the time it wasn't a 'Willard." It was a Service Merchandise Seiko for cheap... ;-) I loved Service Merchandise. The stuff all came out on a conveyer belt! My old man bought our first Betamax there... Bah ha ha hah aha... loved the '80's!
