(( 21,600 BP )) - All that work and I forgot the H. Haha! This is what happens when I edit a video for four hours straight! Anyway, I hope you all have a great day!
Great review, Curt. The color looks awesome. Nice camera work. I really enjoyed watching this and glad you're happy! I'll get your check in the mail. . . ;)
Get a better logo idiot for these watches I can make an essay why it's bad from a geometry perspective, just put LIW on the front! It'd also harken back to your brand name long Island watches?..... Also LIW would work too its been done before, heard of LWC before?.... AND stop copy pasting the same dials on all your watches, it's more and more like a mcdonalds meal selection, I thought you were just trying to 'save the SKX' not recreate every model? Why not try designing new looks for your recreations then? That aren't even discontinued models
Enjoyed the review immensely. This is likely the next watch in my small collection. First time seeing one of your videos and I hope they are all this entertaining. The puppets are nice and zany touch, and I detect a subtle Tenacious D influence in the soundtrack ;)
Very nice to have you back doing this watch craziness thingy overhere ! I love the watch, I can’t deal with the logo tho, but, like an old man, I’ve said this many time already. Bummer that Mark is definitely not going to change that…
Awesome review as always. Love the Islander brand for its value, but disappointed about how many Seiko clones he’s making. At least this Monster is a colour way Seiko would never have done. Your black Monster is actually a 4th Gen monster. The 3rd Gens were JDM only releases using the Gen 1-2 cases but with the 6R15 movement and a cyclops on the crystal. Keep up the awesome videos. Most enjoyable watch channel out there.
Curt at a bar here in Northern VA, and there's Indian married women here on a girl's night out. I am pretty sure they're married but don't give a fuck. Hai gee! Let's see what happens. Lolol l will leave another comment when I actually watch the video!
Nice review. Clearly well made watch. I understand why homages exist and I'm ok with them in general. However there has been an explosion of homages the last few years, and you could argue they are providing well made (sometimes better made) cheaper alternatives to the original. Or you could argue they just aren't the original, and at worst blatent copies. Whichever side your sausage falls on, as long as you enjoy the watch, that's all that matters
@@minitwatch I think he was going for a mix of generation 1 and generation 2 so it would not be a straight copy. But still I would have preferred the gen 2 shark tooth.
Islanders, for the most part, are effectively better than their Seiko counterparts. For that, they can sit around in my minimalist collection without any "OCD" compelling me towards the original.
Loved the video! You are hilarious! Would love to see a 4th generation seiko monster case with the shark teeth with the 2nd generation dial. All teeth no need to see the date or day.. That would be a frankenmonster.. 🙂
As for the homage dilemma, I don't like them if you can get the original quite easily, but try to get e.g. an orange 2nd gen monster these days, it's impossible.
Bro those purple schwifty shoes look fire, don’t click ‘em together, that might me the equivalent of Thanos snapping half of all life in the universe lul
Thanks! They are excellent runners too. I can absolutely fly with those! Man, I recently watched all the MCU movies in order. I may have to do it again soon :)
I wasn't really feeling it until you put it on... I think it looks great on you. Oh sure, "purists" will think it's a little big, but that's fine. Some days, you wake up, you need to feel a super hero vibe a little bit....
Ok so in that group of Indian women, one was being super flirty, but any attempts to escalate by myself was met by a bit of scorn by the larger group itself. If I only cared enough to isolate the flirty one by herself somehow maybe magic could've happened. It just wasn't in the cards last night. Onto the watch. Yes the color, indices, and overall aesthetic are different, but they feel familiar if that makes sense. On the wrist it looks great, not too big or small. I dig the shiny also, it just pops. The bezel I actually really dig as well. This whole thing feels like a padi-mas with a bit more personality. It's a nice watch to have in your collection to go with all the purple things.

Bravo sir. If this said Seiko on it and came out now it would be like 6-700 bucks.
Thanks, man! I appreciate it! You're going to mail me a pizza?? NICE! :)

Great review, Curt! “Check the Lume” is the greatest thing in all watchdom.
Thank you kindly! :)
I think it should be " the grape ape"
OH yeah! Grape Ape had a green jacket haha!

Thank you! I appreciate it! Marc's brand will continue to evolve, I'm sure! We'll just have to see where it goes! Cheers!

LMAO! You legend. Have fun!
Hmmmm…how about the “Purple Seiko Eater”? How does that sound? Nice to see you back doing videos, Curt.
There's so many naming opportunities here! Marc calls it the Munster so that's what I'm calling it :)
If it had orange seconds hand, it would've given Eva Unit-01 vibes.
Maybe a tinge of red as well!

Wish Marc had ripped the gen 2 monster shark tooth indices off more completely.
Same but I wonder if that part is patented?
@@minitwatch I think he was going for a mix of generation 1 and generation 2 so it would not be a straight copy. But still I would have preferred the gen 2 shark tooth.
You still have the same energy from your videos 5 years ago still hella fun to watch
Wow this is beautiful!!!!!
Heck yes!
"🎶Check the lume, check the lume... 🎶" - Now it's stuck in my head ... Thanks 😒
live mas, think less. cool watch with a unique funky color.
Indeed! Too many people over think things these days.
Sweet!! I have 2 ISL-models. Great watches. Poiple is your color bra👍
This is my #3! I am looking at the mint version 0_o I do likes me some poiple, nyuk nyuk nyuk!
Great review. I'd forgotten how much I love singing along with the check the lume song 🤣
Awesome video! It is purple and shiny.
So many shinies!
Islanders, for the most part, are effectively better than their Seiko counterparts. For that, they can sit around in my minimalist collection without any "OCD" compelling me towards the original.
wow, dude... you reply to almost every comment...... great job....
Loved the video! You are hilarious! Would love to see a 4th generation seiko monster case with the shark teeth with the 2nd generation dial. All teeth no need to see the date or day.. That would be a frankenmonster.. 🙂
green seems not quite compatible with purple....????? maybe yellow might be better or orange
As for the homage dilemma, I don't like them if you can get the original quite easily, but try to get e.g. an orange 2nd gen monster these days, it's impossible.
7:14 The notches machined on the case and bezel are called flutes, just like on a revolver's cylinder.
Would like to see these assembled in the United States eventually like some of the other Islander models.
Tenteenth.
lmao! You guys crack me up
Why would you wear some copy cat stuff bro. Go for original.
I have a Munster anartica and paid less for the real deal
Bro those purple schwifty shoes look fire, don’t click ‘em together, that might me the equivalent of Thanos snapping half of all life in the universe lul
Thanks! They are excellent runners too. I can absolutely fly with those! Man, I recently watched all the MCU movies in order. I may have to do it again soon :)
Very nice watch i love the bezel 👌
3 watch vids down! Welcome back!

Thanks, man! I appreciate it! I think you'd like it if you got one or a Seiko version!
Btw, what is the beginning music pls ?
That song earned you my sub.
God I hate the logo still, LIW needs to be hated for it
But will it survive being exposed to sweet Thai chili sauce?
How do you know about this! lol
Unit 001 Shinji get into the robot!
I miss my Mako USA. That islander looks great though.
I don't think I'll ever sell my USA II. It's just one of those keepers for me!
Killer vid ol’ chum.
Bonjour à vous✋🇫🇷👍🍀🙏🍀🙏👍✅👍✅✋✋🇫🇷🇫🇷
yes! All of that! haha!

First?!?!? Unreal.
The power of DREAMS! haha!
You shoul make a compilation of all of the boys segments in your videos or an exclusive RUclips channel for them! I'm pretty sure they'll be a hit !
The red dial is exactly what I am looking for. I am glad long island watch is doing these
That is badass!
I love it!
Love this color-cool watch. And nice harmonies on the lume song.
Yeah the name Munster is Franken Perfect! 😁👍
Really a great review, please keep doing it.
3rd
lol. Nice
@@minitwatch I'm ok with 3rd. I got the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, which, of course, is the 3rd best vaccine.
awesome watch
