Watchlords

This is my second Islander. I bought my other one thinking I was ordering a 38mm . I wasn't paying attention (thanks a lot, whiskey), but it is a great watch, and even if it's a bit bigger than I like, it doesn't look ridiculous. More recently, I took some Xmas and Bday and stimulus money and got this one. It really feels solid. There are several things about it that are generally deemed desirable: double-domed sapphire, drilled lugs, solid links, etc. etc. I just love that it's something completely unlike my other watches. I like the case a lot (Samurai?). The lume is cool. Just about the time I got the email that it was on its way, I read a comment from Marc on Instagram that led me to believe a 38mm version is in the works. Damn it! Well, I like this one a lot. But it's big. It looks and feels big. It's quite heavy. If a smaller version comes out, I might be very tempted to sell this one. I figure I can a) live with it, b) sell it and get a smaller one, or c) continue my covid/comfort-food diet until my wrists get bigger.

Cool pickup NB
Damn that bracelet is impressive for stock!

Love that Lume! And the dial, of course.

Congratulations on your purchase.

Tubular!

Pretty damn awesome how that dial lights up. Nice one.

If it wasn’t a 42mm, I’d get one. I have my eye on a no date dial to do a mod, but it ships DHL and I won’t use them again.

That lume is crazy, and I mean that as a compliment. I wasn't even aware that model was a thing, and I'm on that site looking at the Islander line all the time.

Whatever, indeed, sir!

Wow that dial is pretty cool. Nice buy!

Nice. Congrats. That is one beefy bracelet.

Many a Watch God raise their ale filled gourds in salute to your fine ass snag!!..

Looks great. Really liking the bracelet and hands on this one. The Great Wave of Kanagawa dials are way cool.

I don't normally like these things, but that one has my dick stiff.
