“Honestly, if you have tried modding your own watches, you will wonder how Marc puts these together at such an attractive price point. Sapphire and ceramic for superior scratch resistance. Top notch case finish for that extra bit of class. Solid bracelet links for a sense of reassuring heft, with screw-in link pins, no less. Look, you either like the SKX diver style or you don't. But if you do, this watchto put all the mods I could think of in one place and at a reasonable cost. Are there SKX homage watches out there for less? Yeah, but when you start poking under the hood you find that the bezels differ by a couple of thousandths from the SKX standard, or that the crystals aren't double domed and AR coated, or that the vendor cheaped out on the bracelet. Not with these. Marc's only problem? These things feel like they will NEVER wear out. . . how you going to go for "replacement sales" on a product that feels this well made?”
“I like everything about this watch. Lumed bezel insert, excellent fit and finish. Blue everywhere you look. Love the sunburst dial. Very accurate time keeping.”
“I received the watch in Australia just 3 weeks after ordering, despite the current problems. The watch is of very high quality, extremely solid and hefty, and keeping great time (-5 sec per day). I like the bezel action and everything lines up. The day wheel has Saturday in blue and Sunday in red, which I like. This is a chunky watch. Sized for my 18 cm (7.25 inch) wrist the watch weighs 200g (7.1 oz). The whole purchasing process was perfect, which is reassuring when buying internationally. I highly recommend Marc and Long Island Watches.”
“This Islander watch really pops with the hue of blue Marc chose. The sapphire bezel glows very well in the dark and has a nice smooth surface (unlike ceramic bezels with filled lume where you can feel the indents). Very classy, looks good and feels good. I did notice this watch doesn't have blue lettering for Saturday or red lettering for Sunday, which my ISL-55 does. It's all black lettering for all days of the week like my ISL-21. All in all an excellent hit out of the park.”
