Yep- I've bought 3 watches from them (3 different transactions) and everything went perfectly. Good communication in shipping, orders arrive slightly ahead of expected time.

commented on Islander Greenport on the way!! ·

I'm good with orange - this is a pic of my first Islander. I would just prefer something more subtle in what I view as a "dress" diver (especially with the 12 hour bezel - which is my preferred bezel). Marc has revised colors in the past, for 2nd runs, so I am hoping for a version with the green dial but with White hands and day to match the white bezel

I like the green & blue ones but I can't get past the orange highlights. Otherwise I would have bought one this morning. I have a few Islanders and like them a lot. I'm hoping there is a version 2 in the future with some color changes (specifically replacing the orange). ..... Just my preference

I have a few Islanders and like them. I like the green and blue Greenport models a lot but the orange accents is a deal breaker for me. If not for the orange I would have ordered one this morning.

I stumbled across this on State St in Chicago. I'm not in the market for a chronograph, but I really think this entire package was pretty sharp.
