Islander ISL-250 Greenport has arrived
The watch is awesome at 39mm, the orange date wheel is fun and that domed sapphire crystal just adds to the coolness. The low-ball movement is quite when winding, for now, and I had one issue. The bracelet screws were jacked and the top swivel screw separated from the post so I can't get them out. Mark, being the stand up guy he is and has never been anything but strait with me is on the issue and I'm not bothered a bit by this. To be fair to you all here's a picture of it. Made my order on the 6th, watch in hand by the 9th!!

Glad to see one in the wild. I’m definitely considering one. Can’t decide between the light blue or pink.
Nice! I think the day date placement and design is great!
Great balance to this watch dial. Well done, Mark at Islander, crushed it.
I said I didn’t want anymore divers. Then I looked at this watch a little more and added it to my collection. Waiting patiently for it to get here. 😃
This is cooler than I originally expected 🙌
Screw situation is a bit unfortunate. I had some trouble years back with my Kickstarter Direnzo, and someone on kickstarter said to run the bracelet under warm water before sizing for the 1st time. I do this on every bracelet I buy now. So far so good to loosen it up (especially if the bracelet manufacturer uses a bit of glue or something 🤷).
Regardless, congrats mate!

Thanks mate👍considering the luck I have with stock bracelet that sounds like a great idea. Yeah the watch is much more then I expected for the price and couldn't be happier with it. Nothing feels beeter then getting a light middle weight when you're expecting a light weight. This thing is going to be the sleeper of the year!!! Well....so far anyway😎

Def looks to be a punching very high. If I hadn’t already bought 2 watches this year including one Islander, I would be extremely tempted to go buy one right now tbh 😅
Enjoy, keep em pics coming!
