“I like this watch, but for me, the bezel makes the watch appear a little big, thats why i gave 4 stars instead of 5.
for the money, its really a nice quality watch, and you and cant go wrong purchasing one”
“Great watch for the money. Good lume. Keeps really good time. High quality leather strap. My wrist is 7 3/4" and I don't think the strap would accommodate a much larger wrist.”
“This is the first time I shop from LongIsland.com. I am very pleased with the over all experience with them. This watch is an exclusive Squale and a real beauty. I loved it when I saw the first time in Mark’s review but on my wrist I found it even that lovely that I do not want to wear any other of my watches. Its my second Squale and I am deeply satisfied with this beauties. I may buy Galeatzie or sub39 in future. Special thank you to Mark. I am based in the UK and it cost me even $110 more to pay for import taxes and delivery, but I believe for those in the US it would be even a sweeter deal. If I was US based I would not hesitate to keep buying from LongIsland anytime, but as I am not it worth buying only in big sales time.
I am over the moon with my smoking smoke dial montauk. Thank you Mark☺️”
“After months of never taking my eye off the fumoso dial, I made the decision to buy. Great deal. The photos on the website really do no justice to the watch in person. The feel of the watch is perfect on my 7 in. wrist. Thank you Marc.”
“This MTK-03 Montauk is simply fantastic and it has to be the best value under $500. The quality is obvious from the minute you open the package. The bezel has a solid click and the seconds hand sweeps SO smoothly (28,800 bph, 4Hz beat rate). It sits on the wrist like a vintage diver, but with obvious modern durability (300m water resistance!). The fact that the logos are discreet on this model adds to the retro flavor of the piece. The fumé dial changes color, depending on the light ... from dark grey to light grey, even khaki at times. The pictures simply do not do it credit as the L.I.W. site shows it to be a dull brown, which it is not at all. This Montauk, with its subtle allusion to a vintage Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, will age beautifully.
Our family has bought five watches from L.I.W. over many years and the delivery has always been extremely fast to Canada; this Squale being delivered two weeks ahead of schedule and in time for the intended Christmas gift. Thank you very much Marc and co.!
P.S. This review will be updated once the gift is opened and my brother has worn the watch for a few weeks. We also purchased the bracelet, outstanding value at $85, but have not yet put it on. More on this to follow...”
