“Am extremely happy with my purchase. Shipping was fast. The metal bracelet is very comfortable and very easy to size. So far after a week on the wrist, being worn night and day, the watch is running -3 seconds a day. Would buy Marc's Islander watch over a seiko anyday.”
“love the watch. the bezel(Pepsi) looks smart on the piece. the watch is well made. I did have trouble trying to remove links from the bracelet. the pin holes are just so small and almost impossible to work with. I put an aftermarket band on it. I am waiting for a strap code bracelet to come in. I received the watch in a timely fashion. I would easily recommend this watch.”
“Had a problem with the bezel of the watch, Marc immediately sent a replacement. Great customer service! Got my replacement and it is awesome!! Thank you Marc!”
“The watch looks amazing in person and offers great value for what you get. My only gripe with the watch is the bracelet. The friction pins make changing the band such a pain. I hope that if, or when, Mark decides to introduce a version with screws that he also sells that bracelet separately on the store because I would definitely pick one of those up. If he does sell the bracelet on the website it would also be cool if he offered one with a solid clasp rather than stamped.
Overall a great product!”
“LIW seems to be the only one who can make an affordable diver "with all the fixins" like sapphire crystal and a 4 o'clock crown below 40mm. For dainty-wristed dudes like me, I feel I can finally wear divers again. I won't wear anything above 39mm, so this is nice. Great little watch - it's like the SKX013 but with the SKX009 colorway (and the blue dial isn't navy blue like the 009 was; it's a more vivid blue, which is better). Thanks Marc! Only thing is I regret not waiting for the bracelet with screws instead of pins. I broke two tips on my pin remover tool before giving up and ordering the Strapcode (I've been pulling out links since the 80s, so it's not me). I think the bracelet's pins have seized because they will not budge. I suppose I could try Liquid Wrench, but I'm also not a huge fan of the Jubilee style anyway, so I ordered the Boyer-O. So definitely get the watch, but beware the bracelet might not size as easily as you might think.”
“You really hit it out of the park with this one Marc! What an incredible value and a huge step up in features over my beloved SKX013. LOVE how the bezel blue is Island blue.”
