“I'm not usually into skeleton or open-heart watches, but this is beautiful with a very classic look and size. And, that pinstripe dial is gorgeous! I really like the sword hands, too.”
“Beautiful well made watch. My only complaint albeit a small one, is the band is very short for my 7 1/2 inch wrist. I have to use the last or second to last hole.”
“This I my first "real" watch. I bought it for myself to celebrate my new job and for wearing on stage. It has gotten a lot of attention from friends, coworkers and strangers. From what I understand it's an original design from Islander, and I feel accomplished and prepared for the day when I put it on my wrist in the morning. There is something about this watch that fits my personality and pleases sense of aesthetics. It's unimposing and elegant; a watch for a 21st century gentleman. The price point is great for a young professional who needs and durable, and beautiful timepiece to complete his wardrobe. This will be a watch I keep the rest of my days on this Earth, because it's my first. Grandpa's Bulova tank watch will stay in the keepsakes box where it belongs; and now I have a watch to pass on to my kids or grandkids when I have them. I trust this watch. I'm thrilled to own one.
PS
It looks FANTASTIC with the Vollmer polished steel Milanese bracelet. A navy NATO strap (seatbelt variety) also looks phenomenal on this beauty. As does a burgundy one.”
