“Excellent checkout, excellent transaction. Shipping from US to Germany was in record time. Two days after ordering, I received the watch. And what a watch that is! For this price, I can hardly imagine anything better. I'm really looking forward to the new models of the Islander Watch
Keep it up”
“The SKX is the watch that got me into collecting. Although I always loved its heritage, utilitarian charm and characteristic look, the lack of features and poor QC began to bother me as my collection grew. Marc’s Islander addressed all of these issues and has given me a newfound appreciation for the model. It is, of course, a design that we are all familiar with but with a subtlety premium look and feel that is decidedly missing from the watch it is based off of. In short, it is the watch that Seiko should have made. Great job Marc.”
“I like everything about the Islander dive watch. It looks good, feels good on the wrist, the lume is great, and the bracelet is secure.
I have only one complaint and that is that the power reserve is not as good a I would have hoped and the watch will run down on weekends when I'm quite sedentary.
Otherwise, the movement keeps excellent time during the weekdays when I'm quite active, usually within +/- 2 seconds per day.
I'm giving the watch five stars, though, because it is excellent in every other way and I cannot rule out my own errors in maintaining sufficient power.
Certainly, the watch is worth every cent, regardless.”
“I love this watch. This is half the price of buying a SKX and doing the same comprable modifications. Having said that the 12 o'clock indice is slightly crooked but overall this is a great watch for the price. Thank you”
“Everything I wanted. No need to mod or upgrade crystal. Can wear anywhere. Thought it would be a watch to wear doing chores, but looks great everywhere. It’s one of my go to watches. Thanks Mark!”
“Obvious homage to an iconic piece, but done up so much better! No need to mod anything anymore. This is the whole package! I look forward to the next project!”
