“This watch is amazing! You guys really know what you’re doing. I mean this thing is really great. This is the watch that Seiko should have made with the samurai, and the bracelet oh boy it’s nice like nothing Seiko has ever made before. Seriously this is a lot of watch for the price. Great job guys home run!”
“Like other reviewers have mentioned, the dial is even more gorgeous in person. A slightly lighter and more luminous. It has a very slight sheen that moves beautifully under all lighting conditions. Pictures unfortunately don't do it justice. Only one little gripe and that is that the bezel marker is just slightly misaligned. For the value, this watch is among the best.”
“This watch ticked a lot of the boxes for me, the waffle dial and samurai case being key features. I wanted to build my own watch using LIW's dial but couldn't get close to the price so I opted to buy the ISL-67 and mod it. Originally I wanted to replace the crystal with one that did not have such a large edge bevel but once I installed a sloped bezel insert it looks really good. I also changed the bezel to more aggressive one that I feel suits the angular samurai case better. The case is beautifully crafted with sharp/crisp edges, I love the quality of the machining. The dial is captivating, especially in sunlight, it really needs to be seen in person to fully appreciate the colour and shadows created by waffle texture. The watch is no light weight so I initially kept the bracelet snug so it didn't rotate but as the weather warms it has become uncomfortable, after loosening it with the micro adjust I found it perfect now; slides down to my hand but still snug enough to not rotate on my 6.75-7" wrist. The included screw driver makes larger bracelet adjustments a breeze. Lume is great, lasts all night, and although my camera picked up the dial lume sort of bluish to the eye it really looks the same as the insert. The crown action is smooth and the texture gives good grip, my only real complaint is the strength of the spring forcing the crown out, I've taken to keeping some pressure on it as I'm concerned it may damage the last bit of the crown/tube threads. Precision wise it runs about one minute fast over the course of a week. Shipping took a little more than two weeks but almost half of that was processing by Canada Border Services who charged me the standard processing fee plus my local sales tax. Overall a great experience and product! I also wear this daily, worry free, knowing that any part of it can be replaced using SKX007 aftermarket parts.”
