“There is real genius start to finish behind the entire Islander line, but Marc has created something truly special with the ISL-44. The way the embossed ceramic bezel frames the beautiful green radiant dial is mesmerizing and really sets this watch apart from the rest of the collection, imo.
Of course, each element of this piece (from the jubilee bracelet with screws to the sapphire crystal to the signed crown) is super high quality and the fit and finish are top notch. But, with this piece, somehow the whole truly is greater than the sum of its parts: this is a beautiful piece with a ton of personality and presence and it is just fun to have it on your wrist.
Great job, Marc!”
“This watch is amazing. At sub $500 for the quality of the bracelet the upgrades from an SKX make it well worth it. Sapphire crystal 200m water resistant and a ceramic insert still well under $500 it’s a steal. This watch has great wrist presence and then you get to the dial. Under certain lights all you will see is a rich black and then the dial picks up that ray of light and oh my the green is jaw dropping trust me the pictures do not do it justice. It’s a beautiful watch for casual as well as dressing up. A do all diver with a mean attitude. Good job Marc you hit it out of the park with this one. Now if only the pink one had the same bezel!”
“Received the ISL-44 on 8/14/2020 and first impression was very nice but a little small. I'm a big man, didn't have to remove any links. After wearing it I really like the watch and the size. The watch is very classy looking, from the color, ceramic bezel, to the bracelet. Wouldn't change anything. VERY HAPPY...”
“The watch is okay, although I don't feel its worth the asking price. I personally don't like the color of the bezel insert. If I decide to keep it, I will have to go with a black insert. The 1 issue I have is how the crown guard sits in relation to the crown. Its offset, and it makes winding and setting a real pain in the rear. While your thumb rests on top of the crown, your forefinger barely touches the bottom of the crown. I do like the color of the dial.”
“I ordered a watch for a friend and got the first time coupon, then the friend wanted to exchange it so I returned it for another. I tried to call, I e-mailed multiple times for another first time coupon... No one ever answered my e-mail, and it took forever to get the money back in my account .. So, if you order from this company and you want to exchange or get a hold of them in anyway don’t hold your breath... They have only a recording, they tell you to e-mail them and not leave a message but you won’t hear anything back. It was seriously the worst experience ever ... I have many watch enthusiast friends so we were happy to find this site but forget it now... Super disappointed”
“Love this watch so glad I pull the trigger on it looks so much better in person and the dial is amazing in any light but out in the sun it’s on another level.”
“I too love a blue dial watch, but when I saw this green dial it is amazing! This Islander #ISL-44 is a high end quality watch. Marc builds quality beautiful watch at great price this is not my first and it won’t be the last watch that I will buy from him. I couldn’t be anymore happier with this watch, and I would recommend this watch and all of the other Islanders that he makes to anyone that wants a great quality watch.”
