“There was a glitch on the website stating the watch I purchased was in stock when I ordered, and Marc emailed me letting me know that the watch was in fact not in stock, and gave me several options to rectify the situation. I told Marc that I would wait for the next batch to come in, and that I was only bummed that I would not be receiving the watch in time for my son’s first birthday party (I ordered the watch as a gift for myself celebrating my first year as a father), and Marc emailed me back stating that he would change the shipping to Overnight so that I could have it in time for the party. I cannot tell you how appreciative I was that Marc would do something like that, especially considering the fact that I didn’t complain or gripe about the situation at all. It is obvious that Marc’s dedication to his customers is very important to him, eating the cost of overnight shipping to satisfy a customer. The watch did not arrive on time, but that’s because FedEx did not “pick up” the package until 26 hours after Marc sent it out. The watch is gorgeous and very well crafted, and it is now my favorite piece that I own. After this purchase and dealing with Marc, I will be sure to purchase my next watch from him as well. Outstanding product backed by an outstanding company.”
“I always wanted the SKX007 ever since I saw it at the Norfolk Naval Base Exchange back in 2009 but it wasn’t in the budget. Fast forward to today now that am a little more financially stable but the SKX isn’t produced, the ISL-02 is a way better version with way better and more practical features for a military member, hand winding, hacking, and drilled lugs…..if you’re on the fence, don’t be, this watch is worth every penny and more.”
“The ISL-02 is a power house. It’s everything you love about a Seiko SKX but BETTER! Islander goes above and beyond by giving this piece a flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, a ceramic bezel insert with lume and a solid link bracelet that uses screws instead of pins. All that paired with its 200m water resistance and the ability to use any aftermarket SKX parts to customize it to your liking if you choose to, makes this a stacked diver at an amazing price with great quality and stock specs. Islander never disappoints.”
“Fit and finish is top notch! It looks GOOD.
Accurate, easy to read.
Marc is fantastic, I had an issue with USPS, not his fault at all. And he responded quickly with assurances that I would get it. Great customer service”
“Watched shipped and arrived in Auckland, NZ promptly. The watch is exactly as described and as per other reviews. Fantastic value for the money, features usually reserved for watches which are a lot more expensive. I highly recommend it.”
“Repeat buyer! Improved version of a classic. Perfect size for my wrist and will be part of my EDC. Lume is strong and keeps good time. As soon as I got it, I put it on a NATO strap. Shipping was quick and I used Crown points for a discount!”
