“This is my sixth watch purchased from Marc. I think the numbers speak louder than words could do!
Marc has always been a very trustworthy retailer to me, hence I have kept coming to his store time and time again. Apart from that, he makes great watches of his own brand.
as always, his customer service is outstanding, shipping was prompt and received my watch quicker than I expected it to arrive.”
“Very nice watch, exudes quality. Very easy to read, I also appreciate the orange highlight on the chronograph hands, it makes for a very intuitive time telling.
Orange and black rubber strap is very complementary to the orange hands, has a nice sporty look.
I did also purchase the bracelet, which adds an additional sense of class
The bezel action is very different from other watches that I’ve owned. It is incredibly precise, absolutely zero play. That said, you can tell, but the underlying mechanism is different, I believe it has a ceramic ball bearing detent, as opposed to a ratcheting mechanism. The bezel action is also fairly robust, though that has broken in a little bit in the time that I’ve owned it
The ice hardened steel looks fantastic, like titanium, but a bit darker. Thus far, nowhere is evident. I have swapped between the quick release rubber band, and the steel bracelet multiple times, with the steel bracelet, requiring traditional tools for the spring bar. I am no expert, so the springbar tool has slipped here and there– on my traditional 316 L steel watch this has left significant scratching underneath, absolutely no evidence of any marks on the Damasko
As far as performance/accuracy, as of now, the watch is definitely running fast, but I understand it may take a couple of months to settle into their final characteristics, I may post an update at that time.
Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase, and with Long Island watch specifically.
I was initially hesitant to buy from them, because I have never worked with them before, but I ordered late on Thursday, the wash was shipped out on Friday. Additionally, they were very responsive by email and helped me out when I requested Saturday delivery which I really appreciated.
I look forward to working with them again in the future”
“This is an incredible watch. It has an intrinsic value like no other in this price range. First it is built like a tank. It will look like new for many years to come. Then it has a complete plethora of chronograph functions the best of which is the minute large hand, like the Lemania 5100. It makes keeping track of time so much easier than the traditional 3 small dial type chronographs. Extremely legible dial, typical for all Damasko watches is easy to read in all light conditions. Great lume which lasts all night. The only issue that watch has is its size which could be too large for small to medium sized wrists. The bezel diameter is almost 44mm, so trying on your wrist is important. Overall this is one of the best tool-chronographs for under $10000. Actually there are no direct competitors at all.”
“The amount of patents and engineering that went into this watch is astounding. All the normal weak points of a mechanical movement have been reinforced with a lot of dependable, long lasting components. Show me another watch with a central minute counter that can have the pushers and crown actuated while underwater. I thought the dimensions of this watch would be too large for my 6.5" wrist, but it doesn't look as large on wrist and wears more like a 42mm. The ice hardened bracelet also brings a nice balance to the look and weight distribution. The bidirectional bezel action is hands down the best I have ever felt. It is not overly hard to grip or turn, and clicks into place on each minute marker. Fantastic watch, and great value for the money.”
“Damasko is an established and well respected "tool" watch manufacturer. I now own the DC72 and DC86 and they are both incredible timepieces worth every penny. Damasko manufactures most of its components in its own factory. Therefore the price of these watches when compared to other similar "tool" watches is an incredible value. I am grateful for Long Island Watch sending this watch my way. Both Long Island Watch and Damasko are highly recommended.”
“I love this watch so much I bought a second Damsako, DC-67 with white lume face, to add to the collection. I am in awe of the engineering hardness specifications for this watch, and don't expect I will ever see even a minor scratch or ding. So good so far! The band quality is top notch too. I am waiting for LIW to get in the matching steel band and will be adding to one of the set soon. Highly recommended. Beautiful quality fit & finish, and running perfect. I would love to see a ceramic bezel option offered on Damasko models in the future. Thanks Damasko & LIW. Keep the fresh color combinations coming. Cheers!”
