“Always wanted this dial from the first time I saw it on a modded Seiko. This is a great way to get it without a lot of bother and at a great price. Very pleased.”
“I love the Wave! The watch has a beautiful appearance and exceptional fit and finish. The face is brightly lumed. The crystal has a great domed contour. The bezel clicks are precise and smooth. The bezel ring numerals and pips are precise. The case sits comfortably on the wrist. The bracelet finish and action equals or exceeds Seiko quality.”
“The review from 3/17/21 highlights excellent points about the flow of the dial. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the bracelet, and the drilled lug holes made it easy for me to switch to different straps. My only "ding" is the crown is a bit small to grasp fully, but I dock it only a half point for this. Rounding up from 4.5 is a full 5 stars. Well done, Marc!”
“When the ISL-62 came out I was quite intrigued but after carful consideration I felt the over all size was to big for my taste. This is not a dis on the case but I personally felt that the flowing lines of the Wave print were in juxtaposition to the angular lines of that case. Some times this kind of contrast can be pleasing but in this instance it was not for me. Then this one hit the market. It is perfect to my eyes, The round lines of the case harmonize perfectly with the print. The crown being at the four position makes the case and print flow together much better, your eye is lead from the wave, to the mountain, to the crown. Now it is small and needs to be seen in good light to fully apricate the detail in the print. I'm very happy. The bracelet is fabulous but I had plans to pair it with a blue sail cloth band. I have decided to go with a kahaki / tan color. The reason being is the colors of the watch are not quite as vivid as what I seen on my screen, not a big deal, but I think the strong blue of the bezel tricks your eye into subduing the warmer tones in the print. If I were to change anything it would be to have a bezel insert that had Japanese numerals. As always Island Watch offers service that is second to none, they even surprised me with a beautiful precision screw driver to adjust the bracelet.”
