“I bought skx from amazon and it had a misaligned chapter ring and i returned it. I asked longisland watch guys to make sure the chapter ring is aligned before sending it and when i received the watch it was spot on. I was extremely pleased.”
“Great watch in spite of the well known qc issues. Mine has the chapter ring that shifts slightly when shaken. I had initially wanted to return it, to which Marc at LIW was helpful in facilitating, but have decided to keep it since it is not that big of a deal.
One thing that does irk me, is that it loses 30ish seconds per day when worn (less when rested crown up at night). But I plan to swap out the movement for the seiko hacking/handwinding version at some point.”
“This watch feels very solid, and worth every penny. The customer service from Mark was super good and my bezel isn't grotesquely unaligned like some of them supposedly can be. This would be a phenomenal watch if you're just getting into collection or if you're a seasoned watch collector.”
“Very happy with the order watch showed up within the time the shipping order said it would. The staff was very nice to deal with and the watch is in very nice shape.
Only problem was the chapter ring is not aligned but that’s expected with these watches.”
“Sweet watch, fairly straight bezel haha, averaging +2sec a day. Arrived faster than stated at time of puchase, another win from Mark at long island watch!”
“Not a hard sell, I know how nice this watch is. My old one started acting up, after 15 years, sent off for repair so bought this one. Best price I could find online. Received very fast. Extremely happy with the purchase.
Thanks to the people at Island Watch.”
“I really like the SKX007 that I purchased from Marc at LIW. The bezel and chapter ring line up great and after about 3 weeks the time has settled down to about +10/15 secs a day. I read review after review on the SKX007/009 vs the SKX013 and was really torn about which watch would look best on my wrist, but I'm glad I got the larger 007 vs the 013. The dial is deep and beautiful with fantastic LumiBrite on the dial and it is just a treat to look at. The Jubilee bracelet is kind of jangly, but is very comfortable and fits great after removing 2 links. I guess my only wish for this watch would be hand winding and a sapphire crystal. The hand winding I can live without and if the crystal gets scratched I'll buy a press and put on a sapphire crystal. I was also torn between the Orient RayII but in the end the classic SKX won me over. I also feel confident if I have any issues that Long Island Watch will promptly address them and my future watch purchases will also come from LIW.”
