Marc, it was a pleasure for my wife and I to meet you and some of the team at WindUp in SFO. That purple dial and the red dial really pop for me. As always, you make it too hard to choose. All the best-Mark
Hey brother thank you for the watch at at the fair. Manhasset black 36mm, wife loves the fit it was worth driving to San Francisco for the day from Los Angeles (fyi 7 hours drive in traffic)
Marc, you asked for a take on the purple. I am with you, it is my favorite of the batch and seeing it in the videos CZcams offers up on the side panel is what made me watch the video.
This is a crazy good price! Opinion: I really value thinness of my watches. I have a Lorier GMT which is 10.7mm thick. I think it would be a great direction if LIW moved toward thinner case designs! Keep up the great work.
These are wonderful watches. I love the green one and will be spoiling myself with one soon. Thank you very much for creating and sharing this watch with us all.
I have the original white Calabro on my wrist right now and love it! The only change I would suggest is making the bezel move in the other direction (or bidirectional) so it can mirror the clockwise movement of the hands. But I find the world time incredibly useful especially since I work with a number of people in the UK and India.
“I apologize, slightly.” God bless your honesty. These look great! Congrats on the success at SF. I know Hawaii is schlep from New York, but I honestly don’t know anywhere else like it because it’s still the U.S. but it’s so beautiful.
I like the fully lumed dial best because it makes the black-framed hands stand out so much. The black and the blue disl come in equally at second place for me. Great looking bezel!
Hi Marc, love the new colors! You may have addressed this previously, but can you explain the choice to go with a unidirectional bezel on the Calabro? I'm hoping to go to WindUp NYC in the fall and hope to see you there! Thanks!
Just throw a ceramic or sapphire bezel on that thing and it will be breathtaking. Love the worldtimers as well, the ones with the world map, you should do something like that.
Love it, especially details like the frame of the date. Only thing I noticed which bothered me a bit is that the Islander logo is so close to the 12. Overall - well done!
Hi Marc, long time fan, love these new Colabros,. I've watched your channel for a while. Random question, not sure if you've discussed it before, but what's with the giant sriracha sauce bottle on the shelf?
I got a couple of the Sutcliffe-Hansen kits as Christmas gifts and overall they've been very nice. I devoured pretty much every single Watch-&-Learn back during the pandemic shutdown, and since then had thought a lot about trying my hand at some tinkering (I can't call it "repair" because I haven't actually repaired anything yet.) The S-H kits are great for this, and unfortunately for my discretionary funds, they've inspired me to spend even more money on the hobby. It's so much fun.
Very nice GMT 😀. As an aside I guess Timezone cites are internationally specified- always wanted a GMT with my home city rather than the same Timezone & smaller city that’s in another state ( given its a city I particularly dislike😏)🤗
I have the Calabro with the green dial and I love it as well as the new colors. I have a problem with bezels though, I find them really hard to turn, even on the Calabro which I just bought in February. Maybe it's me--I never used to have a problem with my 15 year old Mako XL but even that's giving me fits now!
Bought my first watch from your company a week ago, one of these was in my cart but ended up getting a Seiko GMT, I speculate I will buy this watch in the future...
This is a great looking piece, seriously considering picking one up, but please, does ANYONE know what type of map is there on the wall, I've been looking for something like this, looks awesome for a wall piece.
Marc, I love the purple. I'm just not a fan of "world timers" because I find the bezel cluttered and hard to read (poor old eyesight). I am a very happy owner of the Islander JFK "Stormy," which is a better GMT "caller" for my use (love the onion crown, btw). I'm waiting for a "true" GMT (miyota 9075) designed more like the JFK--maybe in the purple. The Port Jeff is great, just not my style and 150m vs 200m for the JFK. I live in Fairbanks, AK, but have family in Massapequa so I love the Long Islander brand. Great watches. Great design.
Really wish you would make the Colabro in 42mm. It just looks too small with all that's going on with that dial and bezel. Maybe it's because the 24 hour ring is inset so much, instead of being on the bezel insert.
@@trappedindc8678 Well, thanks, but I do own one. I have 7 1/4 wrist. It's less the 40mm than it is the chapter ring shrinking the dial, IMO. The dial surface is actually quite small.
@@dalepress1581I don’t think the rehaut shrinks the dial. Although it may give the illusion as it’s taller than your average chapter ring in a non gmt watch.
With the red bezel, should have had a black dial. Would look more like tudor Yours kinda looks like the red citizen promaster but stained yellow instead of white hands
Marc, it was a pleasure for my wife and I to meet you and some of the team at WindUp in SFO. That purple dial and the red dial really pop for me. As always, you make it too hard to choose. All the best-Mark
Thanks so much, same here!
I love how the seconds hand looks like jet wings. Very suitable for a GMT!

Grape soda! That's what the purple one is making me crave! The color way combinations are endless with this design, I hope to pick one up sometime.

We've got some, but not this one.
Love the depth and all the visual interest of the dials!
thanks!
The fully lumed version is just the best looking. If it doesn't sell quickly, I might be drunk.
thanks so much! I hope so.
That full lume one looks just as amazing in the light as in the dark 👍
You've come a long way Marc!
I really like the purple dial! The full line version is the most legible one though so I get how its probably going to be the best seller
the full lume is awesome!
I'm really loving the Gulf livery watch!
Love my red dial, Marc! Thank you for making a true red dial watch!
I’m still on the hunt for an ISL-128….
Awesomeness on the wrist. All the colours are popping so I may have to purchase more than one model. Thanks Marc.

Yeah, it was important for the hands to pop
Oh wow, the red and the purple are stunning
💙🧡 Blue-orange is awesome!
Huge fan of the purple and the lime green accent. great exploration of design and colors!
thanks, me too!
Mark did you draw any inspiration from Hawaii for a new watch ? It would be cool to see a Hawaiian Islands Islander…🏝️🌺 Maybe a tiki watch…
Appropriation is bad actually
@@yarrrthekraken yeah maybe you’re right….🤔
maybe a pineapple watch :)
Nicely done! Probably the 5th islander to be added to the collection.
I hope so!
Love the dials, I am hoping to catch you at the NY meet up!! I hope you still plenty in stock 😊
Beautiful watch! Will you ever consider a traveler GMT (I realize it would increase the price)?

Great new colours choices especially the orange but i am a sucker for orange or yellow 👍
thanks for checking it out
I can't take my eyes off of the giant Sriracha! 😂😂😂
hot stuff
the blue and orange one looks indeed nice.. it reminds me of the older seiko 5 sports worldtimers.
thanks for commenting! Blue and orange are nice.
Love it, especially details like the frame of the date. Only thing I noticed which bothered me a bit is that the Islander logo is so close to the 12. Overall - well done!
no problem, thanks for checking it out.
Hey Marc! Thanks for Abalone Monster! Great meeting you!
Ditto!

Red one is awesome. Nice watches.
Purple too :)
I'd be in if there was a quartz version of this watch. Any plans on making a quartz version Marc?
Marc! The full lume is awesome IMO hahaha

I think I want that purple joker !!! very nice.

That purple is gorgeous!!! 😍
The green accents are a nice touch. 👍🏽
thank you
Unusual choice of world capital cities, being very careful not to offend any big sales market countries I guess!
Marc, they look great as usual
Sharp watch! May I ask what is Calabro ... is this an LI town?
Cool watch. ♥️
Will you be making the Catalina ? ( I know it's an island somewhere off California)
I think I’m gonna go for “The McDonalds” 🎉
or iron man?
@@islandwatch better!!
sweet lord… they're beautiful
glad you think so
Purple does look good
soooo good
Purple, just YES
Hey Mark, met you in SF at the show. Asked you for a wristwatch check. Hope you’re well.
awesome, thanks so much!
This is a handsome watch, I’ve had my eyes on it for a while since the original 👀
they are so cool!
Love that iron man watch.
looks like it!
Really wish you would make the Colabro in 42mm. It just looks too small with all that's going on with that dial and bezel. Maybe it's because the 24 hour ring is inset so much, instead of being on the bezel insert.

I have three of the originals. They wear bigger than the photos show and the specs read.
@@trappedindc8678 Well, thanks, but I do own one. I have 7 1/4 wrist. It's less the 40mm than it is the chapter ring shrinking the dial, IMO. The dial surface is actually quite small.

lights up nice!
which type of watch is the yellow one on your other wrist?
Hey Marc, when can we expect to see the Islander “sports model” you have alluded to?
Later this year.
Dam, those watches are sharp and at a very good price point.
very good price!
Damn now I need a purple 🟣
Don't we all!
Not a GMT fan but that last one is great
thanks!
Off topic, but, are you from Boston? or is it just me going crazy and hearing every now and then some slight Boston dialect:p
that's pure Long Island, son 😛
Long Island only!
@@islandwatch My knowledge of the Long Island dialect must be a bit rusty :p
Would looove a red with white lume!
maybe next time!
I love this watch, but a unidirectional bezel kills it for me as a traveler’s/GMT watch.
no worries, thanks for checking it out
I spent IDK how much looking for NYC as its my home time 🤣
LOLOL
the lume one is so good, lol
it sure is!
Is it possible to get exhibition case backs for these?
I’m assuming they’re not particularly SKX modding compatible
no, sorry, there is not.
Quise comprar uno de esos hermosos relojes, pero no envían a mi país 😢
Guys do they sgip to EU?
My Yellow Casio is becoming black at the edges.
Hello Mark!
Why is there no Moscow on your bezel?
same as the prior version
Love the colors. IMO, the watch face, dial and bezel insert is way too busy
no worries, thanks for watching.
I have never had a watch with a red dial 🤔
maybe it's time!
@@islandwatch 😅👍
With the red bezel, should have had a black dial. Would look more like tudor
Yours kinda looks like the red citizen promaster but stained yellow instead of white hands
thank you
@@islandwatchyou’re welcome, now if you could do a price reduction on the two toned lower brookville gold / black
I'll be honest, the bracelets are the only thing keeping me away from Islander Watches. The lack of quick adjust on the clasp is a deal breaker.
no problem, thanks for checking it out.
Your new colors are all Marvel Avengers colors….
the only thing keeping me away from this is the crappy pressed clasp
It’s milled lol
Judging by the thumbnail, I thought this was going to be the LGBTQWTF version.
🏳️🌈
I just love how those ppl seem to bother so many random people.
@@orangeyellow-me1pz Trump people are bothered by everything. Life is rigged 😂
Rainbow fatigue.
@@orangeyellow-me1pz Because they don't leave random people and their lives alone.
Aside from that, I love these watches. Beautiful colors.
You should've had Puerto Rico for Santiago. If you look atthe Time Zone map it makes more sense. As Omega does.
Looks AWESOME and I agree with @stevedave5673, love the depth!
thank you
These are sweet.🩵🌎
glad to hear it!
