Would be a killer without the two logos …

[@johnmiranda9310]

Both logos are a must. That's why it's a project for both logos..

[@rodg2335]

No drilled lugs on either. Odd IMO. I also think the movement choice was an odd one. Almost seems incomplete to me by taking the rotor off. Who would do that to make the watch thinner....except them. Get a different manual wind movement!Good on them for the charity donations. They did that on the Rangemaster as well. Perhaps not the same amount.

They could do a 42mm version and sell another 1000.

Just got one off Reddit for 250 shipped. Seems there isn’t much demand for them second hand… which is a bummer but I’m stoked I got a great deal.

[@bm5192]

Not really a fan of this one. They just pulled designs from multiple brands and put them into one. Good for them on selling out but not for me.

Been wearing mine every day for a couple of weeks now. The strap breaks in and, despite having a 7.75” wrist, it still looks good. I worried about 37mm but with the high legibility and high contrast/large dial to bezel it looks fine. I actually appreciate how low profile and small the lug to lug is when I am used to 40/42 size in the rest of my collection. Get one if you can. Edit: I got # 206/1000

[@masterwatch]

it is nice.. when I first saw it I thought I bet they removed some crystal to fit the rotor shaft without the automatic rotor... Thing is I would have made it automatic and case a little thicker it would have been totally fine.. But that is just my opinion, I don't mind thicker watches.

Hi Rob I’m wearing mine now! It arrived here in Australia a few days ago. Love it! Number 52.🤪😎👍🏻🇦🇺

[@BiffTannenBTTF]

My eyes!!!!!

[@JamesNatal-si3oc]

Agree that a 42mm would be a great option for those with larger wrists. As would a quartz or solar version. I'd buy that configuration in a nano second.

[@SlapShotRegatta22]

Killing for a 3, 6, 9 with a date or 6, 9, 12 with a date. So hard to find that combo

[@44Magpie]

ANOTHER Islander review? 🙄

[@lookatwrist]

Having 24 hour incides on a watch without the 12 always looks off for me. not just with this watch, I've seen a few people try.

[@zplapplap]

I agree. But, it wouldn’t be a singular dealbreaker, as I like everything else about it.

[@jfalconc]

Great watch!!! Mine is 0069/1,000!!!

[@mattsedcandmore.1290]

37mm to small

[@Mark-sd7fc]

If you mentioned the water resistance I missed it?

[@ivermec-tin666]

100M WR

[@rodg2335]

I couldn't help it. I have to comment further. This movement choice is very strange. Take the rotor off an automatic and call it a manual wind. No, it's a non automatic...and the benefit of this is to stop dummies from overwinding their watch?? When Sellita and ETA catch wind of this there will be a revolution 😮. These two chaps seem to be great guys and it seems no one wants to hurt their feelings but I thinks this was a bad idea. Bad!

[@Adriantiachi]

I don't know if it's normal but my rangemaster mechanical seems to running 2 to 3mins fast after a few days and i have to reset it to the proper time, any thoughts?

[@ajmarion]

Definitely not normal - sounds like it may be magnetized. You can get a demagnetizer only for like $10, very easy and quick fix if that’s the issue

[@Adriantiachi]

@@ajmarion thank you for your help 😊 I live in Scotland so if that was the issue could it have happened going through the scanner at customs?,would there machines cause that to happen?

[@MiguelBricaBrac]

Or people can just wait let the buzz come down and get a better price for it
