Thanks for watching!
That grey with the green pop is gorgeous! Really drives home the hammered theme.
Sure does, thanks!
Wow, Mark, this is beautiful! I'm so happy that you keep surpassing your already great collection. All the best!
Many thanks!
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.
yeah, it really changes in different lighting
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 🙏
Wow, thanks so much for that. Best of luck to you
@@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 .
I feel like 90 % of affordable watch's are cookie cutter clones . Russia offer a lot of quirkiness for not much money .
@@julienfroidevaux1143 absolutely
That lume is crazy cool! Great job, Marc and Ryan!
Thanks so much!
Grey dials look so good. Very versatile and not many brands offer them. Well done!
thanks!
Every time I think I have enough Islanders in my collection, you come out with something like this...
LOL. Never enough Islanders!
got the blue dial version. the color is even more vibrant in person. beautiful piece. Thank you!
Nice to see a GMT in something other than a dive watch! Congratulations
A chocolate dial, with gold case, hands, and other accents, on a brown strap would look great too.
We actually did alot of other colors before landing on these 3.
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.
That shade of blue is exactly the color I need in my collect-she-own!
everyone needs one!
Snagged the grey Yesterday - 5th Islander. Keep up the great work.
wow, that's awesome!! Thank you for that!
@@islandwatch No thank YOU! :) In order - Bethpage, Roslyn, JFK, Mitchell (arrived today and on my wrist) and now Melville. Love em' all.
Gorgeous. Well done! 😎
Very good dial and love the Orange GMT hand. These prices on GMTs these days are incredible. Keep up the fantastic work Marc!
Just ordered the blue! Great watch! Fantastic value!
thanks so much!
Totally get the Ming reference under lume! Great design!
Congratulations on designing and pulling together such a good looking and functional watch!
Thank you very much!
Gray with the green accent is stunning. Very nice!
They are GORGEOUS 🤩
Wow. Your watches keep getting better and better. Well done!
That Grey one! She's a beauty...
Stunning looking watch and great price. Grey hammer my favourite 👏 👏 👏
Besides the cool dial layout, I must say I am also impressed by the case design. Looks luxurious. Well done 👍
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
Congratulations on another great release. Your new models are really killing it this year. 💪
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.
These are so beautiful.
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
awesome, thanks so much!
Those dials!!!!
super hot!
Dude. 👍 Great idea with that design and hammered dial.
I’m not usually a GMT fan but that blue dial variant is really eye catching!
That’s a beauty. Perfect specs too 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks 👍
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!
That's a great one!
Love this release 😍
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 !!
I know they just take up so much space
Awesome job. This may be my first GMT.
Oh I really like this one… lately, I like everything Islander produces, great work!
amazing pieces! the dial, and the lume🤩It's a pity for the import taxes here in Italy though☹
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!
Beautiful watches, Marc! ❤
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
best one yet, that grey dial!
I do love the date at 6PM mark. It always looks cleaner to me.
Wow Mark, that is a really pretty watch! Congrats to the team!!
Another great offering!
thank you!
the blue dial is gorgeous, like a ocean
Wow they look great !
Great design, I think I like more the grey one. Nice lume!
thank you for that!
I was torn between the blue and the grey - the differing lume on the Grey sold me. Can't wait to get this one in the mail.
@@TooSeriously you did the right thing 😉
Well done! You are keeping up with the big boys! Ryan is a keeper!
Just ordered, really excited for it - that blue dial is an absolute stunner
Solid choice. They are all gorgeous but I’m a sucker for the blue also.
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!
Thanks so much!
Love the hands on this one
Yeah, super cool
Cracking looking watch 😀👍
Thanks 👍
You did it again! Killer! I love the grey!
Love it...I just ordered the grey one!
sweet!
I just picked up an Amerigraph Bethpage chrono and also have a Mitchel Day-T, I'm a fan 😊
Hope you enjoy it!
Love these hammered dials! ✨
Thanks so much, Jon!
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
the blue one looks very nice.
Beautiful
Serious Grand Seiko vibes with those hands, and I like it.
Holy balls that blue is fantastic! Love that hammer style dial. WOW! Good price too!
It really is!
Great work pal, again !
This is EXCELLENT. I think this is the one that's going to make me a customer.
Nice looking watches❤
thanks so much
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!!!
That's great, thanks so much for your business.
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.
That blue dial is killer! Would love to see it on a 38/39mm three hander, as it's been GMT overload with manufacturer's for the past year!
That is true, many GMTs, and we aren't done.
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?
Very nice design
Probably have to buy all three. Amazing job!!!
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.
I really like the counter balance on the seconds hand
thanks so much.
Looking forward to receiving it.
Lume is fire!
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.
Wow, really great watch. I saw the Islander Northport in Seafoam Green on a German KZhead channel. I need to get such a watch to Germany.
Dude! You know I'm gonna get one!
That watch has a fresh look!
Glancing quickly makes me see a Patek Phillipe look going on. I like the black dial.
The hammer just screams Pink Floyd to me! Love it!
Didn't think about that, cool!
this is really really nice
Great looking pieces. Do any of the islanders 5 link (ends in -lee) bracelets work for these?
The grey vs blue will be a battle. Excellent design.
thank you!
I fought that battle...went Grey, but if Lume was the same between all three I would probably still be fretting over this call lol
My favourite is the grey one, it has GS vibes 😎
Just ordered the black one, first of all because it's beautiful! Second, to show appreciation and say thanks!
Great, thank you
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?
Great watches
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.
The lume looks great; however you should've lumed something for the GMT track to help tell where the GMT hand is pointing.
was just in melville the other day. make a great neck watch!
I used to live there!
Very nice. Great price. Outside my size limit unfortunately. (Too small)
Nice!
They look great.Nice work. I’d bet they sell well.
I think so too!
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 .
they don't, if they do, it's with a Casio
pretty sure if I buy one more Diver it comes with a contract requiring me to actually take lessons :)
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!
Congrats! Love the design !!! the only con is a 13mm thickness - to thick for a dress watch should be sub 12mm IMHO
Nice! You know, you could adjust that scale a bit and come up with a really great looking POINTER DATE! 😁
If only there was a good auto movement. . .
Or even a quartz for that matter.@@islandwatch
@@islandwatch Ameriquartz 7023 if you might want to try a quartz movement?
i feel like you have really come into your own as a watch designer i love that you are usa based.
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!
