    • @dblh84
      @dblh84 Рік тому

      That would be great but COSC certification and a 5hz movement might be a bit unrealistic because Marc has to make a profit, here. I imagine the certification would likely make it too cost prohibitive to produce such a watch. Could he somehow incorporate a 5hz movement and tight regulation, though? Yours is a very good question concerning the movement and it would be great to see.

    Go Ryan Go Marc you guys are knocking it out of the park, Love this model, I have "The Swimming Pool" on the way. Upgraded clasp, Hi-Beat movement, textured dial, 6 o'clock date all made this Islander irresistable to me. I particularly like that Marc (or Ryan) DIDN'T color match the date wheel to the dial on this model. I think the dial color matched date wheel works best when you have the date window offset like at 3:30 or 4:30, but when the date wheel is mirroring an hour marker like at 3 o'clock (or 6 o'clock in this case) it's more pleasing to my OCD if the date wheel matches the marker's color and not the dial color, it keeps the watch more symetrical I feel. Can't wait for it to arrive.👍🏽
