“Great watch at a great value. Keeps great time, perfect size, easy strap change lug holes, smooth bezel rotation. What more do you want for a watch of this nature? Great job LI watch!! I’m from LI & it’s a great conversation piece when I travel. I love showing the LI etch on the back of the case.”
“Taylor made to what we like. Size was the reason for me. I am tired of the plus 40mm and prefer to have a choice.
Well done, Marc.
Now I am looking forward to the colored versions.”
“I waited a long time for my dream 38mm Islander to arrive, and it was just exactly as I had hoped for. After a week or so, I had an issue with the watch. Marc's response could not have been more straightforward or efficient. He put a new watch in first class male the day I raised the issue, with a return label to send the original piece back. No muss, no fuss. If you're looking for a diver style that's smaller than the honkers that are currently in vogue, an SKX style that cures all your problems with the original, this Islander is just the one to fill that space, and do it well.”
“This watch picks up everywhere seiko left off. I’m a huge fan of seiko and what they contribute to the watch community but it feels like they really dropped the ball with discontinuing the SKX line. Marc made a genius move to come in and offer all the perks most of us complain about the SKX missing.
Hack hand wind movement
Lumed ceramic bezel
Ar coated sapphire
Drilled lug holes
And the Lume is nuclear
You would pay out easily $500 for all those mods installed on a stock SKX.
I highly recommend.”
“This is a really nice watch and a great value. It’s a little smaller than my other dive watches and for me that makes it a good every day watch. The quality is outstanding, easily as good as some watches costing quite a bit more. Thank you Mark!”
“Bought the Islander,and is an upgrade from my seiko 013. Sapphire crystal, the works. The only minor Setback is sizing the bracelet. The pins very hard to take out. I’m getting a strapcode. Otherwise the watch is excellent. Great job Marc.”
“This watch feels really solid, clean and exact. It has an awesome shine from the moment you pick it up--blingy so it is constantly catching my eye but but still having that plainer tool watch feeling. I absolutely love how dark black the dial is and how you can easily see everything inside the dial from any angle. The height and shape of the indices look amazing to my (admittedly entry level) tastes. The lume after 7 hours looks like it hasnt faded "at all". When I charge the lume it glows like ghostbusters so I cannot discern ANY splotchiness or anything like that. Anyhow, yadda yadda, absolutely love this watch. :)”
