Looking great, Marc! -J
sweet lord, just as I was eyeing the blue jfk for myself, you guys come out w/ these…
btw, friend loved the dark and stormy from windup as a belated retirement gift.
I have been watching your channel for awhile and love the new watches! The blue looks awesome!
NEED more 35 or 36mm Options
I understand you have to control the cost to offer a competitive price. But the adjustable ratchet clasps on a bracelet really helps complete the overall package. This is a step in the right direction.
Two of my buddies have bought linen dials in the last couple months…I love the dials you’ve been releasing. May have to pick one up sooner rather than later.
Love it! ❤
Yes! black & gold. Hopefully we see a black & gold diver.
Really hope there's a 38mm version available, because a lot of us don't have big wrist or don't want a 40mm+ case.
I’ll be the only one saying this, but I’d love this with a haq movement..
Nice looking watches!
Love the watches, would love to see a 38mm version w/ a timing bezel & 24hr GMT chapter ring.
Loving the blue and the gold face. Tempting lol
Technically the Pearl Lauge is actually called engine turning. But marc FANTASTIC job on the new watches yet again you my man are KILLING IT and wish you nothing but years of success with them happy new year
Great designs and specs as usual, Marc! To my eye, however, the O style bracelet works better on the white and blue color ways and the J style on the two gold ones.
Very nice. 💪
I like how you went with the Islander text under the circular logo. Crazy how you keep offering more for less with the clasp and movement! I got the Brew Metric and white Casio oak with different color words in ‘23 – great minds
Do you Ship to India 🇮🇳? If yes what’s the shipping cost ?
Seiko dropped the Ball , Marc picks up the Ball and runs with it , everytime you said waffle , I ate a waffle.
Great watches , will pick up the blue one.
Very nice looking with a lot of attention to detail.
These look great, any plans to do a smaller version?
Is the next pogue a chronograph?
Superb! ALSO Happy New Year to you and all your team Marc!👍👍
Outstanding Marc, I hope you sell a million of them. You know how to design a watch!
Marc doesn't miss! So far every watch he has come out with has a variation or two that I absolutely love!
All good, well done.
wow another homerun mark. I love the ISL-215.
Sorry, the logo is always the bummer of your brand. Islander text would be much better.
Best Islander yet for me! Knocked it out of the park. Cheers.
I bought that yellow g shock last year for the beach / gym! My wife hates it lol.
Nice…..blue one is very sharp. I used to wear a watch for years a long time ago, but stopped for some reason, even before wireless phones. About every 6 months I go through an "I want a watch" phase, which turns into research, followed by analysis paralysis, and then the urge to buy passes. I visit your site all the time though. You have a lot of nice stuff, and my interest is in the GMT style. I recently saw a "simple mod" to turn the current Seiko GMT into a Pepsi style GMT with sapphire crystal and an angled bezel to soften the watches vertical profile. Not sure there's such a thing as a "simple" watch mod, but the flat bezel is what I don't like about these Seiko style watches. The first one in the video with the metal bezel….if it had the blue sunburst dial, and an angled Pepsi bezel, would meet all of my needs. Gotta watch that mod video one more time. I've replaced the battery on my iPhone, how much harder can swapping a crystal, and bezel be on a watch? Famous last words….
Bravo!!! If any of these are still in stock when the times is right for me to add a gmt to my collection, I think it might have to be an islander!
Marc, we need an “East Ender” Field Watch, inspired by the Hamilton Khaki…show us on the east end some love.
Well well well. After looking for years now, I might have found my watch! And it costs under half of the Swiss one I’m switching out with it, which is a great watch, but has two flaws I can accept, so trying this as a replacement feels like a chance I can take without worrying about it. Ticks all the boxes, and the design is good over all, and the price is competitive even with the high quality/money Chinese brands like San Martin (and leagues above Japanese and Swiss brands when when it comes to value)
You need to start offering your after market bracelets with that clasp- I think people would love that and pay the premium for that option! Great job on the watch btw 🙂
That is quite a chunky clasp
Awesome watch. Reminds me of an explorer 2
white dial + oyster style bracelet would be 🤩
I really want that clasp for my seiko king 🐢
Great looking watches!! I like the blue and the pough!! I really like the micro adjust too.
hi Mark, i just received your skeleton watch and i absolutely love it.
thank you Mark.
I love that clasp.
Gorgeous
Great looking watches! My personal request however is to bring back the Republic GMT with a lumed 24-hour chapter ring and timer bezel.
