    Mark, Mark, Mark ... you didn't have to make that orange Monster. And, I didn't have to buy it immediately after seeing it. But you did, and I did. So, here we are. I guess I'm an Island Watch fanboy now. Keep up the good work!

    @CowCatwithafancyHat 3 года назад +3

    That green works so well with the silver and white, I would love to see it more, it's refreshing.
    For the purple one, it is bold, loud, and invokes movement, would be great for athletic person.
    At first, I wanted to also write feedback about the green markings needing black outline but, after looking at it for more time, yes, it works as it is.
    The style is not for me, but I appreciate it.
    P.S. That green on a 38-40mm would look spectacular or as an/part of an insert bezel at least in my head it does.

    I love the baton style rectangular indices on these Monsters. Way better than the toothy style. Great style Mark. I just have so many round indices dive watches. I think that you could do really well by homaging an oris aquis or a Chris Ward. Higher end pieces would be wonderful.

    So I took some time off of the 'spend too much time watching watches' lifestyle and now you're designing your own line of Seiko Instruments. COOL. The last video I watched was the Seiko gives you a Spring Drive (extreme jealous). I'm still wearing 4 decades of Seiko's 4-5 days a week but now I can clearly see I need a fresh new monster in my life.
    Now that you have a backdoor key to Seiko can we special order custom watches through you (example the Orange with the DLC bezel and a sapphire crystal) assuming we were willing to pay now and wait until the next round comes in?

    I just sold my Rolex ref. 126334 blsj and bought the Isl 38 and all I can say is wow. I honestly enjoy wearing it more than the dj. The Isl 38 is clearer to read with the ar coating. Size wise it plays a little smaller than my dj 41 but a bit bigger than the 126234. Well done Marc. Now waiting on my 🍊 👹! Can’t wait I had the gen 1 black seiko monster but sold it a couple years ago.

  • @chrishynes6091
    @chrishynes6091 3 года назад

    Not really sure what I wanted for Christmas; I decided to treat myself with one of your 'Monsters'. I wasn't looking for a new watch because I've been very happy with my 007 that I bought from LIW a few years back. That 007 actually got more accurate after a couple years... I used to have to set it 3 minutes fast every couple weeks to keep it in the zone. Now I barely set it at all except the bi monthly date adjust.
    I figured a Monster just has to be orange, so I'll give it a shot; plus it has a sapphire crystal; which I've always wanted. I set the time , got it wound, and left the plastic on.. in case I decided that I didn't want it after all in a day or two.
    When I saw the 24 hr accuracy the next day, I pulled the plastic off, then with the help of the included screwdriver (Nice surprise ! ) took out 3 links for a perfect fit.... It's a keeper!
    I ordered early because I was afraid if I waited than I wouldn't have it on time for Christmas with all the supply chain issues going on and possible shipping delays due to the output that happens around the holidays. But now that I've had this gem on there's no way that I can put it back in the box to sit for 2 more months! Arrrrrgh!

  • @EmmanuelYujuico
    @EmmanuelYujuico 3 года назад +1

    Nice! BTW, perhaps you can address this customer's concern with Seiko movements: Since you're selling quite a lot of own-brand NH36 movements and Islander x [brand] ones, perhaps you can offer your own upgraded movement of at least 50 hours. When you reach $350-$400 street with higher-midprice models (not this one), you begin competing with Hamiltons featuring 80-hour power reserves. If Seiko won't upgrade (despite charging more nowadays), maybe Marc will?
