“Was looking for a blue diver with a classy look and some tool watch heft. Being fussy and liking quality - it also had to have a sapphire crystal, quality bezel that aligns properly, min 200m water resistance, workhorse automatic movement with winding and hacking, solid end links and still work on my 6.75 inch wrist.
For the Seiko lovers - this is everything you would want to do to the SKX. For the watch enthusiasts - this sits perfectly with my SARB017 Alpinist and my Hamilton Khaki King and easily belongs with them. For the watch snobs - stay away from this watch. The $329 price for this quality will only have you depressed and scratching holes in your head.”
“This is a solid, beautiful watch as it is, You wouldn't be wrong to buy any of the Islanders. To be honest, I was so disappointed when I found out I had missed the Red October. So, I decided to mod the -18 with a polished/ brushed bracelet, a red second hand. I feed this addiction with a monthly allowance and was over budget. The help Marc and his crew provided was invaluable. I had the parts I needed and the watch shipped within a week. When I have it ready, I will post pics in the forums. Really well-made watch that should last for many years!”
“This watch is beautiful, well-made and fun to wear! The value of this watch at its price point is unbeatable!!! The shipping was very quick from NY to CA, even during these pandemic days. I highly recommend LIW and will be making more purchases from them soon.”
“This was a Christmas gift for my husband. He has not stopped looking at it or talking about it since he opened that morning.
Super impressed build quality and craftsmanship. Fit and finish is that of a watch much more expensive. Love the included screw driver for adjustment.
Ordering process from beginning to the delivery at my door was exemplary. Will 100% purchase a watch from Marc in the future!”
“I purchased an islander isl-18. The purchase experience was great with no issues on the site during the purchase. I received the item in a timely manner in Afghanistan even with all of the mail delays. I love my watch and will purchase from Long Island watch in the future.”
