Islander Melville GMT Review: Awesome Affordable GMT

[@astorbeijer9424]

I just love your watch reviews. This is one of the best channels out there for giving you all the details that you need to make a good decision. Thanks for the effort!

Thank you very much! Appreciate you watching always go back and forth on if there’s too much in the videos 😂

Nice review ! A few points. First, this is called the "hammer finish" by LIW, but "golf ball" is just as good. 🙂 Second, Marc Frankel from LIW said he had to have the classic black version, because he drew flak for not having one with his last release. Finally, good catch when it comes to the industrial brushing on the metal markers and hands, but it does go with the hammer/ golf-ball finish.

Turn the lights off and then you'll see why the indices have those caps. The look of the lume is really cool. It makes a very cool aesthetic. This is the lowest cost GMT I own and a very enjoyable piece. I also like that the GMT hand uses a dial inside the 12hr band.

The Watch really fit your wrist to me. Nice review.

[@theknightswatch]

Thanks definitely fits in terms of watch rules but just is a little bigger proportionally than I typically like

Awesome review as always! Speaking of textured microbrand dials, the Straum Jan Meyan dial is cooler and more refined in my opinion, but it's time only and about seven times the price!

I feel like this should’ve been in 38mm instead of 40mm. It looks great and has uniqueness to it but the size is a little big😅 mainly due to the size of the dial.

[@theknightswatch]

Totally get you, would’ve been nice to offer two sizes

Great review

Very well done!

Own the silver dial. Illegible

[@violinmke]

I bought the blue one

That grey looks like the colors wash out too much compared to this
