“It is shocking to me that this much quality is available at this price. Gorgeous, great features, feels great, fits great, what more could you want?
There's just one weird drawback: the case engraving is literally razor-sharp, in that it has shaved off all the hair on my wrist after five days of daily wear... Seriously. I have a bald spot on the top of my wrist now. It's also a bit irritated.
I'm not sure if I want to develop enough callous to prevent this. But I will find a solution, because it's a heck of a great watch.”
“My Wave Master just arrived, and I love it! It's a big, bold watch, but I didn't think it would be dainty. I ordered five days ago, and it's already here. I will buy from LIW again!”
“I received my Wave Master a couple of days ago. I love it! It is beautiful. I adjusted the bracelet for my wrist, and it wears perfectly. This watch is an absolute pleasure to own and wear. It is my new favorite watch! Thank you, Island Watch and Phoibos!”
“I've been after this watch for a while, and it was finally in stock. I don't normally cater to "homage" makers from China, but they really are getting good at what they do. Specs here are just hard to beat for the price.
Word is that these come from the same factory as Deep Blue, and I'd say the quality is certainly on par. Ceramic, lumed bezel, sapphire crystal, BGW9 lume, the usual Seiko work horse NH35, 300m WR, engineer bracelet, solid links, solid end links, screwed links (who has screwed links at this price??), milled clasp, excellent bezel and crown operation, plus a striking design for the dial.
You can't even get sapphire, ceramic and a milled clasp for twice this price, with Seiko themselves, let alone a lumed bezel!
I own several hundred watches, and, beyond the value, this is just a great looking watch, with no flaws.
Truly a refreshing diver design and I'm glad I finally have one! Go Phoibos!”
“Very good watch. I removed the bracelet and put on a black and orange rubber strap. Orange on the inner side and black on the outer. This really picks up the orange highlights in the watch itself.”
“Customer service above and beyond anywhere else. Knowledgeable shop that responds to emails right away. Competitively priced and no tax out of state.”
