“After seeing the Orient Defender in the Wall Street Journal as one of the best value mechanical watches, I shopped around and found the best price at IslandWatch and was impressed with their execution of my order. The watch is great. I like it so much, I am thinking about a second in a different color.”
“Works like a charm, the leather strap was really comfortable. It winds(auto) extremely well. Shipping from US to Swe was surprisingly quick, customs held the watch for quite some time.. But who can blame them? They wanted it for themselves, I'm sure ;)
Thank you Marc, for a hassle free purchase!”
“Well what can I say. I'm not sure if this is review is for the Beige Dial or the Grey Dial. Doesn't matter I love both of them. The watch, the band, the buckle, crown, keeping time...I don't need to get technical, but technically it's all good! Island Watch is awesome! Marc is awesome. He knows his watches. He's got an Engineering Degree...I completely get it! I think he should autograph his business cards and include them in the shipment.”
“Took a while to decide on the grey dial and it is a watch one would like on first look - simple and elegantly clean design with the matte case. Orient's quality with their realistic prices is rare and highly recommend the brand.
Similarly, will also recommend Long island watches and their service - ordered on a Wednesday evening and watch was delivered on Saturday half way round the world.”
“Excellent service as always, delivered in about a week. Beautiful watch, more sporty than my cream Defender & easier to read in low light. Lume is useable but not spectacular; but this isn't a diver either. Gains 4-6 seconds a day so far, about like my other Orients & I expect this one to find its way on my wrist a lot. Thanks for another good one Marc!”
