ISLANDERs let's see them!
I've owned 3 Islanders so far, and it's unlikely I won't buy more.
The first was the ISL-40 later renamed Mitchel field watch. Simple, reliable, well designed, an absolute strap monster.
I couldn't resist and purchased the black version, the ISL-41. To this one I added a deployant buckle, a black custom rotor, and an optional bracelet. As a result I ended up selling the white one.
Then I got the Northport Seafoam green. Great case design 62MAS inspired, and an absolute masterpiece of a summer dial.
Marc has been killing it lately. I've had to resist hard not to pull the trigger on the Port Jefferson GMT. I guess my resistance will be tested to its limits when he comes up with a new Northport GMT.
What Islanders do you guys have, and how do you like them ?
Oh and what do you think of the latest releases?

Airline pilot, expat, musician, and a bit of a watch nerd
I’m a big fan of Islander watches and have two. My favourite is my ISL 54.

Northport
My latest Islander: the Port Jefferson

The dial on this one is unreal. I’d consider buying it myself, but I have twig wrists.

Love the bracelet.
I like buying from Marc. So far I bought some parts and accessories and three watches from him, but only one ISL, the ISL-68 which IMO is the classic summer watch, or at least it's the classic summer watch for me.
Love the Melville dial
I have two (just got my second off ebay). I have the Republic GMT in navy and the Spinnaker X Islander Cota 39mm in white. Seriously good watches! I love the sizing on the Cota and it wears great. The finishing on the Repiblic is excellent, it just wears a little big. Oh, and the lume on the Republic is FANTASTIC.
I really like the Greenport, just wish the blue one had a black bezel (I like the contrast). Also really like the Charcoal Port Jefferson.

It's not bad. The lug-to-lug is shorter than my BB58 and the case is a little smaller than the bezel. It has a really nice curve that makes it fit really comfortable. I love that it looks huge, but it doesn't wear huge
I've had my eye on this one
Love my seafoam Northport and found a great SPF short to match it!
I have a list of at least 4-5 more Islander pieces I'd like to add to my collection too!
Here are my 4. I am definitely not done I have my eye on a couple more Islanders. Of course he keeps releasing more new ones too.
Cool ones! I really like the black and yellow.

The range, master, mechanical, the one on the top, probably gets more wrist time than any other. But I swap out straps about every other day with it as well. Makes it feel like I’m wearing a new watch.😅😎
hehe I like the 50's feel of this one. I've had me eye on the green one for a time 😉

feels like more than the 200 (+20 for the bracelet) that i paid
love the Martini racing colors so I had to have it
Late to the game, but here’s a few of mine.

Nice trio!
I would like to see the Northport in person. Buying a watch with such a pop of colour would be a bit of a leap of faith for me, but I kinda like it.
I wish Marc would offer the option to choose between O and J bracelets on the Northports
Very cool! I love the Penn
