Best Affordable Luxury Watch - Islander Has Entered The Chat

[@mildmannerededc]

That grey with the green pop is gorgeous! Really drives home the hammered theme.

[@islandwatch]

Sure does, thanks!

[@trogpo]

Wow, Mark, this is beautiful! I'm so happy that you keep surpassing your already great collection. All the best!

[@islandwatch]

Many thanks!

[@bani_niba]

I like the black colorway. It's much more subtle, which allows it to be a dress watch. But then with a tilt of the wrist, you get the light bouncing off that textured dial - what a great conversation starter.

[@islandwatch]

yeah, it really changes in different lighting

[@SamP.H-t1r]

Grey dials look so good. Very versatile and not many brands offer them. Well done!

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@Daniel_DiSanto]

That lume is crazy cool! Great job, Marc and Ryan!

[@islandwatch]

Thanks so much!

[@voxpopulivoxrindvieh]

I've wanted to buy a Islander watch for a long time - and I've just done it. Because I like the watches, the design and the people behind the brand. Beautiful watch, at the right time, thank you very much. I wish you and everyone a blessed Christmas in these turbulent times. Greetings from Germany!

[@robertotorres6391]

Looks great wonderful price beautiful I like to dial you see hammer dial. I literally looked at it when you move it and it also looks like golf ball maybe

[@StarkestryP]

Gray with the green accent is stunning. Very nice!

[@mikeingeorgia1]

That shade of blue is exactly the color I need in my collect-she-own!

[@islandwatch]

everyone needs one!

[@shj2000]

Nice to see a GMT in something other than a dive watch! Congratulations

[@kevinskoien6165]

Love the looks of the Hammered textured dials, but the grey and blue ones especially pop!

[@Walterliquori]

It’s so awesome you make affordable watches. I have ms and I am on a fixed income now. When the time comes I can buy a new watch it will be an islander . Thanks 🙏

[@islandwatch]

Wow, thanks so much for that. Best of luck to you

[@Walterliquori]

@@islandwatch I love watches and a lot of the companies make a lot of the same stuff pretty boring . Your whole lineup is crazy so many choices .

[@julienfroidevaux1143]

I feel like 90 % of affordable watch's are cookie cutter clones . Russia offer a lot of quirkiness for not much money .

[@Walterliquori]

@@julienfroidevaux1143 absolutely

[@mitchmatic8029]

Just ordered the blue! Great watch! Fantastic value!

[@islandwatch]

thanks so much!

[@fondofmoose]

Every time I think I have enough Islanders in my collection, you come out with something like this...

[@islandwatch]

LOL. Never enough Islanders!

[@neilziesing7761]

Totally get the Ming reference under lume! Great design!

[@TOTODIAL94]

Got to love the Met's colorway on the blue model. Very nice, well done! Now we just need to stop throwing every game

[@Reaching117]

You've made some incredible watches over the years Mark, but I really think these are the best you've made yet. Everything just came together perfectly.

[@ErikJohnsonFMA]

got the blue dial version. the color is even more vibrant in person. beautiful piece. Thank you!

[@valengreymoon5623]

A chocolate dial, with gold case, hands, and other accents, on a brown strap would look great too.

[@islandwatch]

We actually did alot of other colors before landing on these 3.

[@zward0522]

Marc, you should do gold plated cases or DLC cases on your divers and GMTs. Both would open up a whole new world of color combinations and styles.

[@willelliott5052]

Congratulations on designing and pulling together such a good looking and functional watch!

[@islandwatch]

Thank you very much!

[@MegaTraum420nyc]

the black & the grey dials looking top tier

[@herbparsi9492]

This is officially my dream watch… I’m a collector with Tanks, oyster perpetual, orient Bambino, etc but this by far is the complication and very look I am in the market for! Thanks!

[@cm9186]

Just ordered, really excited for it - that blue dial is an absolute stunner

[@ProjectSerpo90]

Solid choice. They are all gorgeous but I’m a sucker for the blue also.

[@monologic4806]

Dude. 👍 Great idea with that design and hammered dial.

[@kobusvanrensburg4092]

That Grey one! She's a beauty...

[@914Rocky]

Wow. Your watches keep getting better and better. Well done!

[@jefferyneu3915]

Well done! You are keeping up with the big boys! Ryan is a keeper!

[@EricMiller]

Very good dial and love the Orange GMT hand. These prices on GMTs these days are incredible. Keep up the fantastic work Marc!

[@andrewhannam.]

Those dials!!!!

[@islandwatch]

super hot!

[@jasonreeve5012]

That’s a beauty. Perfect specs too 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@islandwatch]

Thanks 👍

[@georgecupac1202]

the blue one looks very nice.

[@Bhearst]

My mail bill came today. Love it very sharp watch. I bought the Melville and memory of my friend and brother Mark Melville we served together in the Marine Corps. So this watch is going to be extra special to me. Thank you also, when can I get a metal band for it?

[@johnbrooks241]

Wow Mark, that is a really pretty watch! Congrats to the team!!

[@shergill4301]

Looks nice mark.....value for money ......good on u.....you make watches which everyone can afford.............kudos

[@asmarine2327]

Great looking pieces. Do any of the islanders 5 link (ends in -lee) bracelets work for these?

[@WatchWatch-ck6xl]

Oh I really like this one… lately, I like everything Islander produces, great work!

[@darkeye77]

This is EXCELLENT. I think this is the one that's going to make me a customer.

[@adk7962]

This design is beyond awesome. I really like that it’s a non dive style GMT. That counterbalance and lume! Well done Ryan and Islander!

[@islandwatch]

Thanks so much!

[@asiantimepieces]

Great design, I think I like more the grey one. Nice lume!

[@islandwatch]

thank you for that!

[@asiantimepieces]

@TooSeriously you did the right thing 😉

[@markgreenough4568]

Really like the blue. I actually bought my 1st leather nato from you oh boy maybe 15-16 yrs ago. Still have it with the box it came in. I am definitely liking this blue version a lot and from one Mark to another awesome job !!

[@islandwatch]

I know they just take up so much space

[@chriso237]

Wow, really great watch. I saw the Islander Northport in Seafoam Green on a German KZbin channel. I need to get such a watch to Germany.

[@scottsj4625]

Great looking watches. The price seems reasonable too. I like the blue, really nice dial. The grey one looks like it will be hard to see the time with these old eyes. The black one is nice too. Best of luck selling them.

[@LS1007]

Very nice! If I didn’t have the JFK I might consider one. Too many home projects in the works currently. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

[@islandwatch]

That's a great one!

[@randomusername6565]

These are so beautiful.

[@kaiwilliams141]

Just bought the blue. Right combo of looks and functionality. I don't need to time more than two time zones at once but if I do on the regular, I'll get a model with a bezel

[@islandwatch]

awesome, thanks so much!

[@jrfuentes2688]

Another great offering!

[@islandwatch]

thank you!

[@Peachwhaler26]

the blue dial is gorgeous, like a ocean

[@monkeymanstones1]

I do love the date at 6PM mark. It always looks cleaner to me.

[@zambonidriver42]

Home run! All 3 are killer. Love the dials!

[@islandwatch]

many thanks for that

[@grabo454]

You guys are knocking it out of the park, I really love how well these are priced, especially for being designed by real time keeping enthusiasts. I would really love to get my hands on some of these to try them out before buying, I guess that is my only gripe about online only. BUT, I will buy a few at some point anyways. Keep the designs going! Would love to see a simple dial design GMT field watch. Think, square applied thickly lumed indicies, syringe hands, other design elements from this series with a grainy textured dial, etc. Can I come work for you? Haha.

[@GuyVanderAa]

Gorgeous. Well done! 😎

[@WanderVale]

Besides the cool dial layout, I must say I am also impressed by the case design. Looks luxurious. Well done 👍

[@gipgap4]

I’m not usually a GMT fan but that blue dial variant is really eye catching!

[@Ahcelaht]

best one yet, that grey dial!

[@_angl_]

Maaaan I want the gray/green, but I've been buying watches left and right. Maybe in a few months if it's still available. Love these.

[@ricardoalvarado7015]

I've wanted to pull the trigger on so many islander watches but I didn't have a choice on this one. This batch all look amazing

[@neilwade9870]

Super cool 👌

[@Probablyshouldnthave]

how long is the strap? is there xtra long option?

[@kiettuan8443]

will there be a pink or purple color? i love your watch so much. Saving for one Islander is a must to me

[@Mr.CellophaneHart]

Holy balls that blue is fantastic! Love that hammer style dial. WOW! Good price too!

[@islandwatch]

It really is!

[@djomanchester]

Stunning looking watch and great price. Grey hammer my favourite 👏 👏 👏

[@genewcotton]

Serious Grand Seiko vibes with those hands, and I like it.

[@austinnick5932]

Mark, another great watch from Islander! We don’t happen to see gold tone watches anymore and I wonder how a gold tone cream dial would look, maybe beat out Rolex Cellini design!

[@ae-ca602]

Dial looks awesome! Do you plan on releasing it with the Miyota GMT? I want the local hour hand to jump.

[@islandwatch]

Not yet, sorry.

[@Maximus1351]

This...

[@williamdalyjr941]

Really love this design Marc! I just purchased the gray variant. Can’t wait until it arrives! It’s my first purchase from your brand, and I’m sure that it won’t be my last. Keep the great content and products coming!!!

[@islandwatch]

That's great, thanks so much for your business.

[@thetattedpharmacist3215]

Would have been great to have had red stitching on the black leather strap to hit on the red of the GMT hand and text. Lovely looking watches all the same!

[@mdunawaym]

You did it again! Killer! I love the grey!

[@Nadares006]

Are we gonna get new colorways?

[@herbmerced7780]

Lume is fire!

[@santiagoloajr]

Another one knocked out of the park, Marc. Nicely done! I've been waiting to add a subdued GMT to the collection but haven't come across one that draws me in. Not one that isn't hyper expensive (I'm looking at you GS) but this one hits the target. Off to spend money :D

[@MichaelAguila]

Congratulations on another great release. Your new models are really killing it this year. 💪

[@TheAbelleci]

Do it in a 38 and I'm in! Looks great

[@islandwatch]

noted!

[@gabyisphoto2379]

Congrats! Love the design !!! the only con is a 13mm thickness - to thick for a dress watch should be sub 12mm IMHO

[@201950201950]

They are GORGEOUS 🤩

[@JM.TheComposer]

What is the red and green bottle-looking thing on the shelf behind you?

[@christianaviles2199]

Great designs and love how the lume was done. And yet another great value. The hammer dials are great. I do think more colors like a brown might work really well. Or for that manor variations on these colors. Like for the grey dial I would have gone with a color scheme very much like your grey Bayport. So Islander Blue as the highlight color instead of the green and also I would have made the hands and indices gun metal grey so they stand out more and work a little better with the black inner printed numerals. Although keep that lume because it's great. And the only other thing is maybe this could work nicely in a 38mm size since it is a dressier design. But seriously this and the recent Greenports you guys are really hitting a stride and putting out some great watches lately.

[@LawryBoyer]

The black is sleeek. Blue a little busy for me though. Really starting to dial in these designs… ha

[@commandZee]

Very cool-that lume is neat. I'm happy to see the case back starting to look more sophisticated. May I suggest that if you ever decide to put a more ornate design on the rotor that you do another viewer competition?

[@Frank-qs3pe]

Wow they look great !

[@chronocommander007]

That watch has a fresh look!

[@kmahan2006]

Just curious, can engraving be done on sapphire on the back? Thinking of groomsmen gifts . . . . .

[@islandwatch]

No, sorry.

[@kyledriscollmusic]

I really like the counter balance on the seconds hand

[@islandwatch]

thanks so much.

[@derekcarroll7524]

Very nice design

[@bevinmodrak4997]

Awesome job. This may be my first GMT.

[@Carloshernandez-kk7dp]

Love this release 😍

[@blackburnheart]

My favourite is the grey one, it has GS vibes 😎

[@Anthony-hm8lq]

Just ordered my first watch from yall. I first found you from Teddy Baldassarres video where yall went over several watches. Ive been looking for a different brand with a good mechanical movement and thought...well I have a family wedding in NY, what better excuse to get a new watch than from one in NY =)

[@freddolman1494]

Love it...I just ordered the grey one!

[@islandwatch]

sweet!

[@Sergeant_Fury]

Have you ever thought of doing straps in denim?

[@R023N]

The lume looks great; however you should've lumed something for the GMT track to help tell where the GMT hand is pointing.

[@violinmke]

I like the blue one. You're adding sophisticated touches to the ones these days. Really, how often are your clientele actually go diving anyway .

[@islandwatch]

they don't, if they do, it's with a Casio

[@marksimner8734]

Beautiful watches, Marc! ❤

[@scottroberts7463]

The grey vs blue will be a battle. Excellent design.

[@islandwatch]

thank you!

[@Orso_in_letargo]

amazing pieces! the dial, and the lume🤩It's a pity for the import taxes here in Italy though☹

[@chasegoodwin6311]

I slept on pulling the trigger, opting to wait until payday. Alas the grey is out of stock. Are you making more? Also I'm not sure of the process, but a silver and green rotor would be sick!

[@Herecomesmongo65]

Looking forward to receiving it.

[@TheDreamerLB]

Just ordered the black one, first of all because it's beautiful! Second, to show appreciation and say thanks!

[@islandwatch]

Great, thank you

[@tvguyjake]

Marc does it again,,,very nice and affordable too

[@islandwatch]

Glad you are enjoying.

[@Plexcom60]

Very nice. Great price. Outside my size limit unfortunately. (Too small)

[@ronb4115]

Congrats on this release. I’m glad to see a good price point. I’m sure margins are worse, but all things considered < $300 should help you move many more units.
