“Amazing watch. I really don't understand how big name brands that have been around much longer than a lot of these new micro-brands can charge thousands if dollars for watches that use the exact same materials. Actually I know why...because people are willing to pay for them like idiots! This watch is amazing. Buy it.”
“I’ve had the isl-36 on the wrist for about a week now and I love it! It’s the perfect blend of a couple other popular watches making it it’s own unique thing. I swapped the bracelet to the o-style for a more daily wear and I have no complaints at all. Thanks mark!”
“This is the second version of this watch I've purchased, the first being the blue faced ISL-38 and differs only in face color and that the bezel is smooth rather than fluted (I like them in both styles). I put a 3rd party blue leather strap on the ISL-38 and have enjoyed it as an everday watch at my home in CA. (Really) waterproof, very accurate and easy to read.
The ISL-36 black faced version I equipped with Mark's LIW #BRAC-14 "Oyster" style stainless steel braclet and have it at my CT residence. A great everyday watch for any activity - swimming in a lake, shovelling snow, shopping or social events. As with the ISL-38, its accuracy is 10 seconds per day or better - very good for a non-COSC watch.
With an accurate, high-beat mechanical movement, AR coated sapphire crystal, sapphire exhibition case back, compact size (especially on my 7.25 inch wrist), lock down crown and overall good looks, this is a watch whose quality, utility and value is VERY hard to beat (i.e. virtually impossible)”
