“Great everyday watch. High visibility contrast is easy to view. Lume is excellent. Was going to order several alternate straps, and still may, but once I put it on the steel bracelet I have not wanted to take it off.”
“Perfect watch to wear everyday. Ordered the stainless band with extra links and it fits my 9.25 inch wrist with no problem. Thanks again Marc, great watch and service. A++”
“Watch is great! Shipped same day. My only complaint is the band is on the short side and I have to use the last hole for it to fit wrist. Will be ordering a band from LIW soon. Great product.”
“This is the 2nd islander watch I have bought
the first is an SKX0013 with Islander sauce (ISL # 05) bought second-hand in the UK. Superb and very precise (+ 6s / day)
So I fell in love with this ISL53 which get all the point I like to make a good tool watch: a slender case, a screw-down crown, a chrystal glass, dimensions and a reasonable price;
Well it's a bit less precise (-14s / day) but the orange second hand animates the watch in a superb way; Thank you Marc for bringing us such watches !
I wear it in town and keep the SKX013 for the bush or to go on sea
I mounted the satin Oyster bracelet, released shortly after for this watch (# BRAC-11).the whole is great !
It makes me happy every time I look at her; it really is the perfect everyday watch”
“Were the watch not consistently losing a minimum of two minutes per day I would say the watch is excellent. I wonder if that problem can be remedied. My dealings with the company and The gentleman who owns this business have been in every respect otherwise beyond outstanding. I wish I could afford to buy another of his watch offerings.”
“Beautiful and robust; 40mm size is the best; suits for different leather or nato strap.
Waiting for an official steel bracelet then it will be perfect :)”
“I can't get over how much I'm enjoying this watch. It's clean simple design is very satisfying and wearable. What I'm enjoying the most thus far is the crystal. It's my first AR coating and I can't get over how effective it is. From any angle it's crystal (sorry) clear.
Winding the seiko movement is buttery smooth and the crown is big enough but not too big.
This watch literally puts a smile on my face. Enjoy.”
“My son saw my ISL-54 after I had modded it. He liked it so much that I was compelled to get him one for Christmas, and mod it for him. Only difference he wanted the date complication. He absolutely loves it!”
