Fair enough! I do love the skx013 so I can understand why! I do have one myself even though it is full oem and untouched.
I do love the look of the Willard re issue but it is a little too chunky for my wrist
To be honest, I would buy it again but in a 38mm instead. The islander has a perfect alignmentwith the chapter ring where as the skx 007 doesn’t. I had no issues with hardlex so it never bothered me. skx is more iconic but the islander is just as well made if not better.
The only thing that bothered me is the blue ar coating hence I have changed the crystal.
Islanders are fully skx compatible. If you get a dial, a local watch maker can fit it onto the islander fairly cheap and you have the best of both worlds than
