Great video!!! Thanks so much for giving it an honest review.

[@islandwatch]

-glad you like the bezel choice :) the logo is lumed, though. Great voice, great camera work.

[@jarodstevens2710]

Mark ,you rock brother 🤟

[@minitwatch]

I know I spelled generosity wrong :p I was tired! Anyway, happy Monday! *note. As Steven pointed out, I forgot to mention that the Islander logo is lumed. The crown isn't. Ahhh 4am videos :p

[@mountainhobo]

"the Islander logo is lumed" -- But the pip is not lumed? That's unusual.

[@archievthapa3593]

You're enthusiasm transcends everything - loved the watch - will probably get one !!!

[@stevenXCV]

For the money, the Islander watch is definitely a great value, if you don’t care about the brand that is.

[@minitwatch]

Indeed!

[@MFRiley]

Even if you do care about the brand... Marc is a great guy, who runs a great business. Similar to many other micro brands. Although in my opinion the logo needs some work. It looks too similar to the indices, and throws the whole dial off.

[@Thereal111t]

You could buy a seiko and spend a bunch of money customizing it I suppose. It’s like someone already did all the customization. Idk if you can retrofit the screw crown though.

[@jacknjill3000]

And they need to change the back logo. Logo developing is important to appeal to a large group of folks. So as important as designing a watch and after putting the seal (logo) to to compete it.

[@TheFlyrodder68]

I've been watching you for years and I'm so glad you haven't changed! Keep it up! This is like home!

[@simonwright6882]

Another great review! Very attractive watch indeed. I also have a 6.5inch wrist and love my skx 009. The short lug to lug makes it work on me and I think it works for you too. Keep up the good work man 👍

[@FrankLavoy]

Thanks for sharing your good fortune!! (I missed on this opportunity 😔) I must note that I really like that, when you show the watch on camera, you don’t move around too much, giving us time to truly look at the watch. Thanks for your great and honest review 🙂👍🏻

[@santigarciarosa]

Nice video! The second 100 batch sold out yesterday. I was able to get one. It looks beautiful and having an ISL 02 I can say that the quality Long Island offers is great for the money.

[@minitwatch]

Congratulations!

[@manny7886]

WHAT!!!? I missed it ... AGAIN!!!

[@davidrobinson4118]

This is the first vid of yours I have seen, just popped up in the recommendations. I was already enjoying it and then your two little friends popped up at the end. Had me laughing out loud. Great stuff. I am now a subscriber and look forward to watching your other vids. Oh, and by the way, I am just about to make a purchase from Long Island Watches. Just can't quite decide which one. From watching Marc on KZbin and seeing other peoples reviews of the watches, and the the respect he seems to have for the way he deals with customers and runs the set up, I am looking forward to putting some business his way. Nice guys need to prosper.

[@StefaanVdV1961]

The Islander logo is lumed 👍

[@minitwatch]

Indeed :)

[@1malikalik]

I have thought of "moding" an SKX but by the time I buy all the parts (case, crystal,casebacks, dials, hands, gaskets) and the tools (crystal press, hand setters) and regulate the movement I was looking NORTH of $700. Then I looked at the Chinese clones like Heimdallr and Steel dive but wasn't impressed. This red October has me thinking. Its very intriguing and impressive and exceeds the OEM SKX in terms of value proposition and anesthetics.

[@kcgfy81]

Thanks for this great review. I visit Hawaii every year with my family but last year we were not able to go due to Covid. Thanks for the views of Lahaina. A pleasant reminder of how beautiful Hawaii is.

[@jarodstevens2710]

Still one of my favorite channel!! So unbelievably real 🤟🔥🔥

[@watchreviews4k]

Interesting piece. Enjoyed your review. Wear your pieces in good health. Regards.

That emblem is a touch of genius.

[@pastorhalhall]

Second batch came out Sunday, already sold out. Mine is in the mail. Can’t wait to see it in person.

[@akapantsusenpai181]

Seems like a decent watch. I can't tell you how much I've missed Ted and Uncle Jimmy and The Lume Song.

[@keekim880]

I bought my first Seiko automatic from Long Island Watch the Seiko SKX007.

[@colonelangus3826]

I don’t know why but Ted kills me. If you’re ever hurting for content I would love to see a compilation of all those clips together. Thanks for making me laugh. You da man!

[@dinner_workingsly]

I’m a fan of the islanders...I’ve got three of them now. I was turned off by these initially because it’s a mix of all things I don’t care for. I don’t like embossed bezels, I don’t like polish, and I don’t care for the dial color....but I gotta say..seeing this one all put together with the things I don’t like is awesome. It’s actually very good looking, I want one now. Kinda like gin and tonic...both are pretty disgusting, but mix them and it’s magic!

[@luckychucky9342]

First video of yours and I just subscribed based solely off the “check the Lume” song lol 🎶 💯

[@3pIcenTer]

Even the normal one without the red seconds hand is very nice.

[@LambentLizard]

Wish Marc would make them without the day/date

[@pugilisticfront6777]

i despise day date

[@ZackMorris1]

What up Curt! Great beginning and ending drone shots! Dude you have made movies already that move people. Ok back to the watch, omfg if this came in a Pepsi bezel it would be such an instacop, even though it's very close to being a instacop right now. Just such a well done diver/yacht watch. The red second hand is a great added touch compared to the last version. Lol Karate Kid II, does anyone buy for a second that Chosen would lose a fight to death against Daniel? Drum punch or not, Chosen would mop that mook from Newark. Apparently dude has a restaurant in the Seattle area and is still in great shape. Who wouldn't wanna see him in an upcoming season of Cobra Kai? Thanks for the vid again bro, we appreciate every vid you put out bro!

[@minitwatch]

Hey Zack what's up! Thanks! I appreciate that! I spent two days trying to get those! Well, then I want to make MORE movies :p Better ones! I wouldn't be surprised if a Pepsi bezel version is on the horizon! We can hope anyway! I FULLY think that he will be in Season 3. Or perhaps Season 4. I do also feel that Terry Silver will be in Season 3 and that Tory might be his daughter! There's so many theories! I hope that Daniel and Johnny become friends again and this time for real. When they almost became friends and then got into the fight, I was legit BUMMED. I was like BROS, NOOOOOOOO!!!! lol Thanks, man!

[@ZackMorris1]

@@minitwatch I really think Season 3 is gonna be the Ali season and maybe Season 4 gonna be Chosen. The original Karate Kid is one of my favorite movies of all time, no joke probably seen it over a thousand times since I was a kid. Cobra Kai did the movie well, even with its thrown in sjw nonsense, but its a good series. I'd love to see all the old actors come back to it. It's such great source material.

[@ZackMorris1]

@@minitwatch lol I wanted em to be bros too, life gets complicated like that no brah?

[@cmitt8883]

I've been saving this video for Christmas just in case I got a lump of coal in my stocking and needed some serious cheering up. Can't complain a bit. Have good days.

[@emptyMan0]

The end message felt really personal to me, this december has sucked so far for me. Thanks for making me laugh :)

[@FURIAfdx]

OMG LOOK AT THE LIGHT REFLING ON THE METAL WOW! LOL -REP

[@castor278]

got #35 out of 200 of this model off ebay for a good deal. purchased another one from the 2nd issuing that i may gift someone for Christmas. Crazy how this came out the same month Sean Connery passed away.

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

Watch looks great... I was trying to decide how I felt about Islander Watches.... I think I like them. That looked great.

[@u.u.u9969]

Sorry but we need to see your face with a personality as colorful as yours.

[@WrongTimeWatch]

Hey, we have the same wrist size. I bought the ISL-21 instead of the red October though.

[@fauxchung3189]

Love the Dinosaur segment.

[@minitwatch]

Heck yes!

[@galil_6863]

[@AnitaSpankyBB]

It don't look too big on your wrist at all, I would say it's spot on in term of size

[@KillerByte666]

Oh my godness : I was straving for the check the lumes song ! Thank you Curt :)

[@KingFillip]

great watch! a nice detail could be the the lume on the second hand lined up center on the Long Island Watch Co. symbol of the face. also, did you notice the there is lume on the LIWC symbol

[@TheFlyrodder68]

Awesome but go with the 38mm version. I think that will fit and looks better. Thumbs up!

[@captainbungee]

That is a fine looking dial/bezel/bracelet/hands combo.

[@wetlikewater4662]

Hey man do you think this would wear too big on a 6inch wrist? As a replacement for my mako 2 I just bought the 38mm version but was debating between this 43mm one. Hope I don’t regret it lol.

[@JoelJunior0047]

I ask myself that question. Is it too big or does it look good. I have a 6 and a 1/4 inch wrist. AND I was able to order one of the Red October’s from his second batch. Can’t wait.

[@tickandslug]

Check the lume is based on a song from elder scrolls right?

[@TheRealChetManley]

Love Islander watches...

[@shonkeymoulder6972]

Bucket list huh? Go skydiving, dive with whales, do a Hot Ones style hot wings gauntlet, participate in a proper Oktoberfest, brew my own beer, smoke my homegrown bud, and shoot an AK, shotgun, & a sniper rifle. I know it's a little bit of a douchey bucket list but it's mine.

[@minitwatch]

Okay I want to append my list to include Oktoberfest but hell nawww to the naw naww naaaw for the Hot One's hot wings gauntlet :p I will never again consume anything hotter than a jalapeno :p. I have tried a 1 million Scoville chili extract and it almost killed me!
