“Great watch for the price, but a great looking watch regardless of price. My other watches are not getting any wrist time at the moment. It actually keeps really good time, better than my SBDC061 which has a 6R15 movement...go figure.
Can highly recommend. For U$199 you can't get better.”
“If you are looking for an everyday-wearing watch with a simple, elegant design, it's hard to beat the ISL-54 for value and style. The domed sapphire crystal particularly sets off the clean simplicity of the dial's pilot-inspired design, and is tied down nicely with the unadorned brushed bezel. A little color pop from the orange second hand is all it takes to make this watch a stealthy stunner. It looks great on the simple black leather strap supplied, but this thing is a strap monster that really stands out on a black, orange-rimmed NATO seatbelt strap like I have; it would likewise look amazingly genteel paired with a honey-brown stitched Horween, or for more bling, a brushed stainless milanese bracelet. Although Marc's collection is really centred around his offset-crown divers, I think he really hit a left field home-run with this gorgeous pilot/field watch.”
“Took a while to arrive here in the UK but the watch is great so far. Only had it 24 hours but running accurately and looking fantastic. Swapped onto an admiralty grey NATO straight away. Terrific lume and perfect clear legible dial which is what sold it to me originally. Would have been nice to see a slightly bespoke decorated rotor or just a regular engraved case back instead but at this price it’s still a great product. Well done LIW!”
“Love this aviation/field watch retro style. Imminently easy to read with the large "Explorer-style" Arabic numerals and long-lasting lume. It's a "do everything" watch that works as well on a camping trip, around town, and even in a suit. It looks especially good on the straight end Super "O" Strapcode bracelet I also purchased from Long Island Watch or on a NATO strap. Tremendous value at this price.”
“Watch was shipped to Canada quickly. It's better looking in person than the pictures suggest. It's a good chunky depth so that it doesn't feel as small as it's 40mm suggests. Would recommend!”
“I'm a big fan of those Islander watches, and this one certainly pleases, That red second hand is spell binding, As a neophyte horologist I'm all in.
Thanks Mark.”
