“It is as described and in good condition. I haveca larger wrist, so the strap could be a little longer for me, but I have other straps that will fit.
Service and shipping were first rate.”
“This watch ticks off all the boxes for me in terms of all the features that should be on a field watch. The display case back is a bonus. First impressions is that it presents a "little" small but I put that down to the parchment coloured dial, you can't say it's bright white, and that's a good thing in my books. Visibility is great, very easy to read.
Well now I'm going to jump on the wrist strap train. The inside of the strap is comfy, but...... the outside of it looked bright gold when I first opened the box, not tan and it didn't really improve that much later in various lighting situations, needless to say it didn't take me too long to make the switch to a little more subdued khaki canvas for now. It's a departure for me the white dial instead of the usual darker tones for a field type watch, but a change is as good as a rest, they say.First impressions very positive.”
“I love this watch. It is way better in person than in a picture. It's very solid, well made, clean and crisp dial, screw down crown is smooth. Mine is keeping almost perfect time after about 4 weeks. I just use two positions at night to offset any gains during the day.
I appreciate how Marc is very into watches and making them with quality. I know that he will respond quickly if I have a problem or question. He was very responsive with a previous purchase.
The date on this watch is big enough so that it is very easy to see at a glance.
I put a Barton strap on mine, but I've been wearing the stock strap lately because it's quite nice.”
“This is a great looking watch. The printing on the dial is very sharp and legible and it is all nicely balanced. The specs are fantastic for this price range. It's also been very accurate. Thanks LIW!”
“I work in a mostly marine environment. I needed an affordable watch that was tough and reliable with sufficient water resistance. This watch checks all the boxes. The numbers and dial are sharp, and the lumination is good at night. I had bought a used ISL-43 (the green dial). I liked it so much that I wanted one with a white dial so I bought this one. The only change I made was replacing the nylon strap with a stainless steel bracelet. This field watch is awesome! Total quality!”
“Strap: swapped it for a nice Barton green canvas. Enough said.
Case: spot on. Has the balanced, slightly chunky proportions of the classic field watch. Lovely brushed finish. Wears a bit smaller than the 39 diameter would suggest thanks to the well proportioned bezel. Perfect for my 7 inch wrist.
Crown: very impressive. Great size and very smooth operation worthy of a much pricier watch.
Dial: nice clean, matt base. I feel the main numerals could be slightly larger so the pecking order of the markings is clearer, but it doesn't really bother me. Size of the hands is spot on - easy to read but not dominant.
Movement: standard for this grade. Still settling down but this movement seems position sensitive so leaving it face down at night seems to offset the gain through the day.
Crystal: flat, with excellent visibility due to AR coating.
Overall: at this price point, great value. 5/5”
