“Probably the nicest watch I own. The strap that is comes with is nothing to write home about but when it is paired with a black crocodile strap, it looks like a million bucks. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone looking for a nice dress watch.”
“My first Orient watch and, I must say, I'm very impressed. The fit and finish is quite good for an entry level piece and it's an all around looker. I'd like it in a smaller size more suited to its classical looks, but it's still a great piece.”
“I was happy to find an Orient watch that was the style I had been looking for and was a mechanical movement. The watch arrived quickly and was packaged well. So far, the watch has kept great time. I really enjoy the mechanical movement and the asthetics of the watch. The leather strap was indeed of better quality than my other Orient watch strap that came on a previously-ordered watch, and it wears nicely. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase, and I would buy from Long Island watch again.”
“Marc at Island Watch provided excellent customer service. I have been wanting this Orient Monarch for a while and I'm glad I bought it here. The price was the best I could find and fedex delivery was fast.”
“I was thrilled to find Orient made hand-winding mechanical watches. Long Island is one of the only retailers in the US that carries the Monarch line. I love the classic font used for the hour indicators - it's quirky and much more interesting than conventional fonts used nowadays. The breguet hands complement the font further. In over a week it has managed to gain just 1 minute. Resynching requires minimal effort as the movement hacks. The winding is very smooth and aided by a well-sized crown. Unfortunately, I dropped the watch on the carpet to no effect, which speaks to its durability. I have thin wrists but the watch doesn't have overhang. Its beveled case shape make it appear smaller. It can pass as a dress watch or daily wear. I love the Orient logo and its execution on the dial is super detailed. Most Orients have "Automatic" on the dial but this one proudly displays "Mechanical". Everything about this watch is slightly different - so buy it to be unique...and a little quirky! ;)”
“I spent a lot of time looking for just the right hand-wound mechanical and this is it. Very affordable and handsome on my wrist. Accurate to within about 15 seconds/day.”
“My beautiful watch arrived with a minor cosmetic defect. Have no fear! Marc took care of it right away and sent a pre-paid shipping label to return the watch. My new replacement arrived before Island Watch received my bad watch back! I will be back for more watches!”
