New Islanders from Long Island Watch

I just saw a video on YouTube about three new Islander releases. They have dials designed by Marvin Menke of Hemel Watches. I have to admit I am a bit ambivalent about these designs and am not sure if I will be getting one, although I do really like the 9:00 day and 3:00 date combination. Just not a huge fan of racing and I already have two Islanders with this case; my #ISL-53 and my #ISL-134. Not sure the 9:00 day complication is enough on its own to justify another 40mm Islander. Still, nice to see some new designs and I will be looking for future releases with dials designed by Marvin Menke. Here is a link to the watches:

These are interesting designs, but just a bit too busy for me. If the BRG model was a touch more subtle, I might be tempted. I'm still patiently waiting for Marc to bring out new 40mm Islander divers or 40mm Ameriquartz.

I would love to see an Islander Ameriquartz chronograph!

I think they are stunning, especially the Gulf version

Kinda having a double take on the British racing green one. Dunno that it’s my style though, but I do like auto-racing and don’t have an official race-time watch yet…

I have to say if I was to get one, it would be the Gulf version.

With a matching nato or custom Gulf strap (think they are made by Outlaw Straps) it would be awesome.

Detroit Watch Company makes a beautiful homage to a racing watch!
