“I've had many Seiko dive watches over the last 30 years or so. They usually last between 3-7 years and then more often than not i will see the crown fall off the watch with rust on the shaft threads. Usually the watch starts to cloud with moisture by then as well. I've never sent in a Seiko watch for servicing, I just toss them and buy another. For the price, you're getting a great watch, hands down. I've worn more expensive non Seiko dive watches and I've gotten 15 years out of one those but that took routine servicing, whereas I could of bought 3 Seiko turtles for the same price. So now I'm back to Seiko. This watch looks good.”
“I had heard of the alignment issues with this watch, so in my order I specifically asked for one that has a properly aligned chapter ring and bezel. When the watch arrived, I saw that the bezel and the chapter ring were both misaligned.
This watch can be found elsewhere on sites like eBay and amazon for around $250. I thought paying the extra money (and specifically requesting a model without the alignment issue) would get me one with a proper alignment, but I guess not.
I don't want to have to deal with the hassle of returning it only to receive another misaligned watch. I'll be taking it to the local jewelers to have it fixed instead. I will not be buying from Long Island Watches again.”
“Reissue of historical and iconic Seiko diver (i.e. 6309; the Mick Jagger; the Rolling Stone, etc). Solid build, reliable movement (cal. 4R36) with hacking and hand-wind feature, meets ISO6425 standard, classic design, cannot be mistaken for anything else other than a Seiko diver. A beautiful watch at an exceptional price ... arguably the best sport watch under $500. (Currently clocking +3 sec/day.)”
“Ordered the SRP777 a few weeks ago. I knew that there were chapter ring alignment issues with this model. I asked Marc and his team review the watch for any alignment issues and I received the watch, within two days of placing the order, in perfect condition. The watch is a workhorse and runs flawlessly. I thank the Island Watch team for their great customer service. This is my second purchase from Island Watch and I will be using their services again when they receive the new Seiko Presage collection featured at Baselworld 2017.”
“I chose to purchase from Long Island Watch over other online stores due to Marc's youtube channel and the Urban Gentry Channel - who has reviewed several watches purchased from LIW. I've learned a lot from Marc's youtube videos. You can tell he has an appreciation for quality and knows his products. The customer service is top notch! I will purchase all my watches from Marc going forward. Also, the SRP777 is sweet. I wear it daily, it keeps excellent time, and gives me everything I need for a daily watch and as a diving watch. I can wear it dressed up or dressed down.”
