[@ChristopherHand]

Grrrr! Now I have to give you MORE of my money. It's almost like you treat this like a BUSINESS... :) Keep up the good work.

[@islandwatch]

LOL, thanks!

[@angelherrera6820]

Mark, I just wanted to share with you that coworker had one of your field watches in green (#ISL-43) and I immediately knew it was one of your watches so I asked my coworker about his watch and before I could say anything. He said it was an Islander watch with pride and excitement. You definitely produce a great watch! Just wanted to share that with you. Cheers!

[@triniboy05]

This is awesome, thanks for continuing to offer your customers more and more.

[@islandwatch]

Our pleasure!

[@stevepringle3947]

it's a great clasp , I have one my Black Bay GMT. It completely changes wearing a bracelet in the sub tropical south !

[@javierpatricioromero8564]

I bought one from the store, put it on a Kamasu with a jubilee strap, and it looks amazing.

[@Kasaner]

Thinking about putting on my Casio Duro then I saw it’s more expensive than the watch itself lol

[@AK-rq1cz]

Yeah but if you really like the watch and this would improve it then why not treat yourself? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@wildankoso]

Plus it would be such a baller move knowing that you spent as much money on the bracelet alone than the watch

[@Kasaner]

@@AK-rq1cz yeah your right it could improve my already pleasant experience with the Duro! Great point but I just need the gold to complete the set so maybe that then the clasp! :)

[@Kasaner]

@@wildankoso I’m sure most people wouldn’t believe that given how quality the Duro is for the price! Definitely funny though

[@islandwatch]

Do what you like. I know people that spend bucks on their Duros.

[@Sean-fw1oo]

Have this same clasp on a Strapcode bracelet for my Orient Ray. I like it a lot, especially adjusting on the fly when I go outside and it's hot and humid.

[@therealbucket]

Love the dial and bezel colors, they go perfect together.

[@therealbucket]

Loved it so much, I ordered one shortly after my comment 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@AFCAWorldBodybuildingArchive]

Awesome to have seen you with TGV 💪🙏

[@islandwatch]

Okay, great!

[@mariopinder242]

That watch is still one of the nicest watches out!! Got to give you props on that one. Great job Marc on the colors.

[@chestersopczak9568]

Thank you for this video. I got a citizen ProMaster automatic dive watch and for the life of me I could not figure out how to micro adjust this. I could see there were push buttons on the side but I could not figure out which way to squeeze them. I can't believe how easy it was. Thank you again.

[@hillogical]

saw these recently. I'm a huge fan of this! Summer in the Midwest has been brutally humid!

[@islandwatch]

Works for that!

[@gregentwistle5105]

Fantastic! I’ll be purchasing a few as upgrades. It’s a similar design to what my Certina has, and I love the quick adjust. Great job Mark!

[@seeker7679]

I really like that clasp. Would have been nice if it was a little shorter but it looks great and seems to function smoothly.👍

[@rickm5853]

Why this isn't standard on every bracelet is beyond me.

[@toadamine]

Because it's enormous, bulky, and hideous looking... And if you size your watch correctly, pretty much useless...

[@harcotelindert]

Price?

[@JD-wi5zd]

You are precious. Please make this clasp in every size!!

[@manoflego123]

Oh man, you just put out a fidgeter's dream!

[@loganholmberg2295]

Do you think this might be standard on some of your watches in the future? I got big wrists that change in size even more with the weather/seasons so I love this idea.

[@boydmasonlake1995]

So much information. Mark. Thank you. You and Tristan make a great team!

[@papricep6248]

This is why the Rolex easy link is so awesome.

[@loganholmberg2295]

Oh that's awesome. I know where I'm going the next time I want to upgrade a metal bracelet.

[@JohnClarkW]

Thank you, now I have to decide how many I want / need.

[@robertnorth1681]

I have that same drum roller, bought from you just as the office shut down. So, haven't had the opportunity to wear it as a conversation starter, but someday...

[@captinsano443]

Hi, what's the length from end to end on this? I have pretty tiny wrists and sometimes don't have links to remove to shorten the bracelets any further

[@islandwatch]

closed, 46mm

[@williamrizzo1285]

Awesome, great idea! thank you Marc.

[@islandwatch]

Glad you liked it!

[@terminal-velocity111]

Sweet! That’s a cracking clasp, top effort.

[@nickkincanon4582]

Absolutely love it. Your Islander brand is hitting on all the key points of differentiation. Excellent! Personally, I would also pay more for an upgraded bezel action. Thanks as always Marc.

[@islandwatch]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@japudjuha]

I love the concept of this clasp so much, very similar to the strap code clasp. Looks like it works a treat, but WAY too long to be practical.

[@charredhusk]

I was hoping for something exactly like this for my red-dial of the exact same watch. So glad you have these now! My wrist swells a lot in the summer heat and I still prefer to have a bracelet on most of my watches, so I’ll have to pick one of these up soon!

[@islandwatch]

Perfect timing

[@jasonlax4112]

Not sure I like having less links and such more clasp, just for the sake of micro adjust

[@islandwatch]

Understood.

[@jasonlax4112]

@@islandwatch no shade intended. Few comments call out for a smaller clasp with fewer micro adjust may be your sweet spot for the next revision

[@minirock1980]

Pretty handy the kind of clasps during summer months although tend to be chunky

[@hitchhicker92]

how solid is the ratcheting when extended? In other words, how easy is it for an unwanted adjustment to occur? It seemed like it didn't take much to push it back in...

[@joshuabriggs7114]

Great looking clasp Marc!

[@joseph_b319]

Nice!!!! Wow you are like The flash, one video you are in your Long Island Studio then the next video you are with TGV in Philly.

Not sure it could be done.

[@bogdan.mtduro]

Thank you so mmuch! Keep up the good work

[@TwinScarecrow]

Could you please make a clasp that fits your 20mm bracelets? Field watches need some love too, not just the dive watches! :)

[@davefinfrock3324]

They're slick. I like them quite a bit, but one caveat: they add quite a bit of bulk to the bracelet. They're really wet suit extensions; the on-the-fly micro adjust simply comes with the territory. Still, they're cool and I've got them on both a Bali-Hai GMT and an OG Monster with a Strapcode bracelet. The Bali-Hai is a nicer clasp, but they both work quite well. Just keep in mind that they do add a bit of heft and bulk. Not a big deal on the Bali-Hai (it's a brick to begin with), but it's quite noticeable on the Monster.

[@islandwatch]

They certainly are larger.

[@anotherherodied]

Does Islander watches have an EU dealer? I am interested, but don't want to deal with customs :D

[@donnyboon2896]

Yes

[@matthewchevolleau6894]

Can u make a hidden clasp for your jubilee bracelet style watches. The watch looks more elegant just seeing the bracelet and not the distracting clasp.

[@gregs.8895]

Very cool Marc!

[@tarasmathers7423]

Hi Mark. First, ty for the demonstration. My question for you is....would you please make a video, demonstrating how to adjust the "latch post/pin," which would effectively make the clasp mechanism close more crisply, and tight, therefore reducing, any unwanted play, when the clasp is closed??? Any help that you could offer in this department, would be greatly appreciated. TY, and have a good day

[@theearthangel07]

How does one adjustment compare to one standard micro-adjustment on a normal clasp? Thanks

[@galatians22122]

You should have a clasp produced that Fits the Speedmaster that only has two micros!

[@Sportvent]

So great. So inexpensive, not sure why only the very expensive watch brands offer these with their watches. One question, will you offer these in 22mm? Thanks for always offering more and better options.

[@michaelkeefer4293]

I've been hoping you would do this. Heading to the site to buy one now!

[@islandwatch]

Sweet

[@friskjidjidoglu7415]

If it locked both ways i feel like it would be a good improvement. But maybe it’s not strong enough for that?

[@zhizian]

Impressive clasps!!!! Sadly we don't even have such high quality mechanism in many Luxury watches....

[@islandwatch]

True.

[@orestesdd]

Could that clasp fit an Invicta Pro Diver watch? Thanks for your video. 🤔

[@Sturnburn772]

Hey Mark, does this fit the 38mm islander bracelets?

[@smurfy9996]

Will they become standard clasps for some of your watches?

[@hbmex1928]

Just like Doxa clasps

[@Nefville]

Please do a mint green SARBlander sometime, my dad would love that. BTW threw my ISL-37 on a bright blue rubber strap, looks awesome. Loving that watch, it's definitely stole the show lately. Edit: there's a lot of people who lament that Zelos quit using that style of clasp, I think this going to be a hit.

[@islandwatch]

Okay, thank you.

[@riorosario1]

Seems a little chunky. Can you make it thinner?

[@Awkwardfruitfly]

Beauty !! Mark, how come manufacturers do not taper their bracelets more? Is it tricky to do? It automatically makes the watch look far more premium. It’s almost like they have so much metal they want to dispose of 😂.. Also, what do you think of an explorer inspired case for the next islander? Hope you’re well

[@bulkhungry]

Because machining costs more than the materials. Every additional manufacturing step adds to the cost .

[@gilbertoflores7397]

Other than rolex, who tapers their bracelets by 4mm?

[@uk366]

@@gilbertoflores7397 Seiko, sometimes. From 22 to 18.

Case and bracelet will be so good now you ought to offer a Swiss movement option.

Ok!

It just needs the fold over lock to be perfect

Would that clasp fit on the SKX Mod 8 purchased from LIW? Thank you for bringing this great option!😍

[@Wolborgfan]

These clasps are also on the newer Balticus models. They're a bit on the chunkier side but undoubtedly tooltastic and bulletproof

[@islandwatch]

True.

[@jackcole4013]

Hope you get some for a 20mm width. I would love to buy one for my Glycine Combat Sub!

[@realestwatchreviews]

This is a great option for the 22mm bracelets! Just curious, could you replicate the design of the glide lock or is that patented? Also the ones Mido uses for the ocean star is pretty sleak too.

[@JustinWillisDevil240Z]

how about for my casio? I really want a no tool micro adjust.

[@jimfiore4671]

Can you try other bracelets? I have tried on several others and it seems that the springbar is too thick for most, but regular springbars will work but the tips of them are not tight in the holes. So they move around and eventually work themselves out of the hole. Are there other springbars that will fit the holes better? Thanks for the information and content. God bless

[@islandwatch]

Thanks. The problem is, there are so many other bracelets out there.

[@jimfiore4671]

@@islandwatch Ya definitely. But do you know where to get thinner bars with the thicker ends? The center "cylinder" part that houses the spring is too thick for most bracelets. But the bigger issue is the tips/ends of the bars are too thin and don't fit the holes properly on the clasps. I've emailed strapcode but they haven't gotten back to me. Thanks for the content.
