“Loving it so far. Was considering holding out for the Red October version, but I’m pretty happy I pulled the trigger. It’s beautiful without crossing the line into gaudy.
A few points:
- Not sure how long this will be the case, but this is currently my most accurate watch, and that includes a COSC certified Tissot.
- As a SARB033 owner, I at first thought I’d want 38mm, but then I realized the dial would look tiny because of the bezel. I’m glad I went with 43mm. Now the SARB feels small!
- Speaking of the bezel, I’ve actually found it useful for casually timing things while cooking or doing other things. Can’t comment on the dual time (yet).
- Biggest risk now is that I buy 3 or 4 of these in different colors! Already looking at one for my dad for Christmas.”
“Beautiful watch. Keeps great time, beautiful fit and finish. Price was fair and a great value for the money. Long Island Watch is very easy to do business with.”
“I was very satisfied with the watch. I did email because I'm used to size being measured by the bezel. Here the bezel is actually smaller than the case so the watch seemed smaller than advertised, though the case is of the appropriate size. Thanks for the quick reply.”
“The watch is beautiful. Shipment time and communication from Island Watch Co. has been excellent ! I would like to see Embossed Ceramic Bezel Inserts in gold and black, Also, I would like to see black and different colored watchbands to further customize Seiko and Orient dive watches.”
