So glad I got my skx013 last year. I had a skx007 before and it’s just massive. The 013 is perfect size!
Love the islander watches! Next up you should make one for the discontinued SARB033/035
I'd rock the pink. Looks great for everyday wear, but takes on even more meaning during Breast Cancer Awareness month in October.

I’m hoping a lot of manufacturers are going to produce a pink dialled watch. The new Squale looks great, with the exception of the white straps. Grey or pale blue would have been so much better, but a pink equivalent of something like the Oris Baikal in terms of shading and colour depth would look great
Marc, just ordered my ISL-09 today after waiting for months to get the funds in order. Can’t wait for it to get here! Keep up the good work.

The more Islanders the better 👍 thanks Marc
I really like the SKX013 and marinemaster seconds hand. Hopefully someday I'll be able to afford one(or more), haha. Looking at the 21, and 22 or 23. Also, that pink one looks real nice.

Marc - once again - *please* make a larger version of the hulk Islander. If you ever make a MM case, give all green a go. The pink is lovely - the insert would be sweet over a white dial too. Too small (8" wrist) but I'd wear that.

Is it wrong to want and own multiple SKX style watches? 😂 I splurged on a green one just now.. my second midsize. Islander watches .. maybe its not for everyone, but I really dig them. When I was a kid I used to love ordering away by mail and checking out catalogs even if I couldnt afford to buy everything--skateboards, model RC planes, rockets, gokarts, science kits computers and chemistry. I built my living on "clone" computers. The idea of modifying something or built-to-order is just so cool. I dont have a steady enough hand to modify watches (learned the hard way, ha), but luckily there are those who can help! Watch collecting is a freaking addictive hobby haha.

I have both the 38 and 43mm SKX. Also, have the ISL-01 and ISL-30. I have a 6.25" wrist size. The 38mm is the perfect size for my wrist. But I prefer to wear 40 and 43mm diver watches. I like the bigger presence of the dial.
I just bought mine yesterday
I have the ISL-05, I'm wearing it as I watch the video. Mine's a first run (or "generation"?), so pins for sizing the bracelet, no logo on the crown and a (very good, IMO) pressed clasp. I like the J-style bracelet more, so I swapped it for the O-style one that was on my ISL-21, as I simply wear that watch more. Both of them look and feel much more premium than their price suggests, in my opinion better than the 013 they're based on. The fact that Marc included the upgrades at no extra cost on the later model watches just seals the deal for me.
