“Received watch in 4 days. I am not sure if the watch was once returned because it was in a blue box for a different Seiko. There was a manual but no other paperwork. The watch looks good and is brand new so other than it came in a different box, I am happy with it. It is also more accurate than my SKX013K1 which runs one minute slow.”
“When I first received my SKX009 I noticed the common “misaligned chapter ring” issue. I emailed Marc and he responded very quickly. I sent the watch back to him and he sent me a perfect one right back very quickly. He was very pleasant throughout the whole process. This is my second purchase from Marc and I hope to purchase even more in the future!”
“After recommendations, both about the watch and where to buy it, from several watch forums, YouTube channels like Urban Gentry and Marc' own Watch and Learn series on YouTube, I decided to order this watch.
Shipping to Norway was fast, and since the paperwork was properly done, the package went through the simplified custom's control here in Norway without problems.
The watch itself is in excellent condition. It looks much better in real-life than all the videos and pictures I've seen. No problem with the bezel inserts that some reviewers mentions.
All in all, pretty happy with this purchase and would highly recommend this store to other Scandinavians.”
“I had a great experience with Long Island Watch. The order was shipped immediately & packaged well. The Seiko was obviously looked over before it shipped & was flawless. I will always highly recommend your company. Thank you very much. I only wish you carried Omega Seamasters as that will be my next purchase.”
“My fault for not catching this until after a few days but there is misalignment on chapter ring at 6 & 9 that drives me nuts when looking at it. I'm not sure if it would have made any difference between the K & J but do not make the same mistake I did by not catching this until too late and then find yourself looking for aftermarket mods.”
“I was unsure if I wanted this watch because of its size, but it fits my 6 3/4" wrist perfectly. I love the look of the watch, and it is keeping great time. I swapped the rubber strap for a far better one from Bonetto Cinturini, and it really makes a difference. The Seiko SKX009 is rarely off my wrist. The lack of hacking or hand winding doesn't bother me in this watch. Its ruggedness, dependability, and good looks keeps me wearing it, as well as being a happy Island Watch customer.”
