This is a beautiful watch. I am definitely looking into this one.
When is Islander going to come out with their own bullhead watch like the vintage Citizen Bullhead? That thing is awesome but nearly impossible to find a good working model.
I dig the pepsi colored chapter ring, looks good with the charcoal dial and the bezel. All business in the dial, all party in the chapter ring! The 5 Reissue also looks great, it doesn't appear as heavy as other pillow shaped sports/diver watches. I bet the eBay resellers are gonna make a lot on them. I'm on pause with buying new pieces, haha, but I hope Seiko fans will manage to get this.
I must have been living under a rock because I didn't realize some Seikos now come with (better?) Jubilee-style bracelets, compared to years ago. So are they decent?
Overall, the 5SK platform is just a rich mine of swanky available versions. I'm sure all of this keeps you on your toes, Marc, regarding what you may do with the Islanders.
Wow…I did anticipate your getting the new additions to the 5 Sports GMT line (still absolutely loving the 003 "Batman" I got from you), but wasn't expecting the '68 5 Sports reissue…now I'm just nervously wondering if you'll get any more in stock – I'd pretty much given up on snagging one!
In general Islanders spoiled my Seiko gene….maybe i got room for a save the ocean monster, but other than that, the Islander upgrades just make it hard to budget for another Seiko, or "Seyko" as Michael Scott's wall certificate of authenticity reads…😅
Still love Seiko but no sapphire no purchase. There are plenty of great Prospex Seikos that have it. As I recall the first thig you did with your Islander SKXs was fit them with sapphire crystals. Quite right too. 😊😊

I hate these clasps on Seikos…bracelet looks so cheap with that.
Spinnaker makes a good watch

i like the black because the hands looks like it's floating and the bracelet 🤌🤌🤌
👍😊💥
Already sold out within an hour lol
Been a long time since I heard someone mention the Twist o Flex. I remember the TV jingle from the 70s "Give your watch a new twist!" 😁
Not interested in those SKX models,regurgitated rubbish 😢 the limited edition is amazing 😎👍

Wish the normal 5KX's came on that classic SKX bracelet!

Great job. This vid convinced me to order a Spinnaker x Islander collab – picked up the purple but wondering if the blue/orange was the way to go.
Agreed – That last model should have had either the #3 link or the #2 & 4 links in gold. 🤔😒

Hello Mark, already out of stock?😢The 55 limited ed.
Marc, cool coloris, love them i might Ask you to send me thé GMT grey dial, i count on you since i'am in Paris France… Frédéric
Hate the new logo, love the old one … they should drop that shit and go back to the old one, whoever came up with the new logo is an idiot.

55th anniversary. Right. Just think – next year it will be the 56th anniversary.
