I really like the Logo with ISLANDER written out underneath. It's a nice balance with the text below. Nice improvement while sticking to your beloved logo. 😉
I'm wearing that exact Northport watching this video. Gorgeous colors, great quality. If you're reading this comment, go buy it if it's in stock. You'll love it
"(some) got... Phased out" at the end of 2022. Heard & commenting while wearing my BEAUTIFUL GREEN BAYPORT purchased at 12:31 pm on Thanksgiving Day. Simply an outstanding all-around, daily-wear dive watch. 40 mm with the H-links makes this a joy to wear, and the all green dial/date make it a joy to see. Thanks for the always bringing it so hard, Marc & LIW. And for bringing some big-hitters back. Wish ya the best in 2023 🎉 Grey is on the way 💸💸💸
The root beer is one of my favorite watches. You couldn't go wrong with any of these watches. Love the pie pan dials. Marc, you're starting the new year with a bang! 🐶😊
Wow, have to say the purple one stopped my wife in her tracks as she walked by. Looking forward to the other purple ones mentioned as a forty mm would be way to big on her as she is very petite. Cheers to the gang in 2023. Thanks.
The Bumblebee is calling my name. The Ghost has to be the best white dial diver I have seen. White dials with silver hands just don’t have the contrast I need. You hit it out of the park with the black hands!
That white dial is beautiful but it would be even better with a black bezel. Too much glaring white otherwise. I don't wear yellow dials but I'd buy the bumblebee just to look at it every day! Beautiful.
Absolutely loving The Ghost and the Bumblebee! Today I am also wearing my new seafoam Northport which I finally snagged to add to my growing collection of islander watches.
Ordered the bumble-bee along with the Spinnaker Boettger with the Coral Orange, just shipped yesterday and can’t wait to get them. Always love your dials and fantastic colors! Beautiful watches!
Upon subsequent viewings, that purp/gold has a very noble & distinguished look. Perfect to wear while drinking some Crown Royal and watching the Vikings 🤷🏼 I hope it sells well; I like the non-traditional dial colors, and that "trendy" Tiffany blue is very much over done lately. I always get a comment when I wear my Islander x Spinnaker Croft in the BRED colorway. The red that was used on it is *very* vibrant and eye-catching (w/o being gawdy). Here's to more Islander collabs (and OG drops, and retro reissues, lol) in 2023 🎉
The Bayport Root Beer is the winner! My prediction is that this colour way will sell out first. The contrast between the Root Beer and its bright indices will give it a glow after dark to remind us of a warm summer night. I would love this in a GMT variant. How great would that be with the little red aircraft motif on the GMT hand. This watch with the new Seiko GMT movement would be perfection.
The Bayport is such a great watch - I have the blue original and it stands out for me for sweet winding and friction free date and time setting - I have watches that are near the same price but with which it is a constant battle. Excellent lume, too. I fancy a bumblebee next!
Welcome back! Bayport(Original watch from Long Island) By the way, what's the main purpose to create many colors for same watch in the watch industry..? To give people more options to choose (same like a car?) or to make people buying more than just one for same model? I'm just curious.. Maybe both?
These look fantastic! My wife got me a Root Beer (Root-Port 😁) last year and I love it. The "Ghost" one is my favorite of the new bunch. And I am so glad I got a Northport Seafoam before they sold out again, which I see already happened on your site. Can't wait to see what else you have coming this year! I need another box for my Islanders alone 🤣
Mark I saw an update from you a little while ago about meeting some of the tax on UK purchases but as I was trying to buy an Islander watch on your site nothing along those lines came up. Have you discontinued that arrangement? Thank you G
Marc I'm blaming you as the reason I keep spending money lol, but I finally got my grey Bayport so it's alright. I said I'd buy one the day they came back in stock so I had to do it. Keep it up!
The Grayport is the star of the show, for sure. However that yellow is the one singing to me. Other than Doxa and Spinnaker’s Dumas the yellow dial options out there are pretty lacking. Bumblebee on the way, thanks Mark, you read my mind!
@@islandwatch It’s good, I’m hunting for one of the oldies on chrono24 right now. The new ones look really good, I just fell in love with the old blue one at the same time it was discontinued.
Beautiful watches Mark congratulations. I am glad you removed the japan movement text from the bottom of the dials. It was a deal breaker for me when I went to buy your restocked sea foam. I was so looking forward to buying that watch. Maybe if you do another run you could delete that from the new production. I would definitely buy one.
Mark is it that you will continually phase out and bring in new models Zara style or is it just the dial colours and executions will change but you will try to maintain the same model lines? Just want to know how to plan my purchases 😅
The white dial/black hands is one of the few legible, white dialed watches. Too many have silver hands and/or silver markers making them unreadable. Thank you Marc!
Missed out on the root beer last time. Unfortunately I don't really care for the additional Islander under the logo and the price increase. So maybe I will wait for the next version. Make a 38mm with the date at 6 o'clock.
I love the white! Your H link bracelets look awesome. Would you ever do a H link compatible for Islander 39 pilots watch? I think that would be a home run! 🎉🙌
Marc - how could you know? A long long time ago I went to a ritzy school that had purple blazers with gold stitching around the pockets; we wore purple and gold ties, too. The sports uniforms were . . . unforgettable. So one part of this vid made me twitch uncontrollably but the rest was excellent. Good to see the rootbeer come back. Happy New Year 😛
My birthday is coming later this month. You've once again complicated my wish list. I really like the 40mm size. BTW, my wife just got me my 4th Islander (ISL-188). Love it.
Me: I was finally able to save up a little money and put it aside for a rainy day! Mark: Hey Bob! Here's a beautiful watch in beautiful colorways with a great water resistance rating so a little rain won't hurt!
I own a blue Bayport, the lume looks too yellow in daytime hours for my liking. But that purple one looks amazing, though! Maybe we will see that dial on a Brookville?
Beautiful watches - i'd have a hard time deciding on one but I think the blue is my favourite (i'm a boring person). Though I kind of wonder how the yellow would look with a black dial, and yellow hands and markers.
I was SO upset that the 10% off watches with purchase of your new bands (that was just available a day or two prior) was no longer available when the seafoam Northport was back in stock 😭. Bought it anyway. Unboxing it now.
@@islandwatch bought the seafoam to wear specifically with a white strap as I don't see myself wearing it any other way. Tried the fkm waffle first but because of the texture it's difficult to force through the keepers. Didn't wanna deal with that constantly so got the solid one which is beautiful but too long to look good on my wrist. Really don't wanna have to return the watch because I can't find a strap. Any suggestions?
These all look amazing Marc! I love the white dial ISL-173, however, I would have done a fully lumed sapphire insert with black print for night visibility. A diver with non-glowing black lume on the white ceramic bezel insert is unfortunately kind of useless. Glad to hear you fixed the lumed hand problem as well.
Ghost has to be my favorite. Not enough white divers
That is very true.
This model series is the perfect base for a future gmt. The ghost will look amazing with a black ceramic insert and a black rehaut.
The color matched date wheel is a little detail that makes these look so cohesive and "finished" compared to anything else in the price class.
Thanks Doug.
*_And most stuff out of & far above this price range._*

Just got my rootbeer in the mail today. Gorgeous watch! Best surprise was the option for english and kanji day!!
Truly impressive range. That grey-port is still stunning 😍 👌
That yellow is an amazing summer watch 😍
Yes it is!

Great, thanks!

LOVED the LL reference mark😎⌚️✌️
Very nice! The white, the gray, and bumble bee are my top three. Well done Marc. Have a great day! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
You too!
The yellow and black looks great!
Thanks.

Looks great, but wish it had a highbeat Miyota. And maybe it could be a smidge thinner with a 9039.
Yes, it could be, but then $100 more.
greyport just arrived 😀 love it
I have an original root beer dial Bayport. One of my favorite watches! You can’t go wrong with one of these. 👍
Couldn't agree more!
If these ever come out in 38mm, I'm grabbing all of em! My fiance bought me a Pan Am as an engagement gift and I love it
That is awesome!
The Bayport is such a great watch - I have the blue original and it stands out for me for sweet winding and friction free date and time setting - I have watches that are near the same price but with which it is a constant battle. Excellent lume, too. I fancy a bumblebee next!
Oh, and the wind down crown is super smooth as well
That's great, thanks so much.
I love all your watches mark you got the best company in town
Thanks Bob!
Going to do integrated rubber on these?
No, just the straight.
The purple one looks really nice moreover in darkness! It can also be a very nice stylish dress watch if it is 12mm thick.
Thanks, the Purple is very understated.

That "Bumble Bee" might just be the ticket for me!
All right! Do it!
The white one looks awesome!
Agreed, thank you!
You got a shout out from watchfinder 🤜🤛
I know!!!

Yup.

Right on!

you mean "stinging to me" LOL
The blue original Bayport is one of the best if not the best looking Islander ever, when I wanted to buy it it was discontinued, story of my life 😀
Sorry about that! Time for us to move on to more colors.
@@islandwatch It’s good, I’m hunting for one of the oldies on chrono24 right now. The new ones look really good, I just fell in love with the old blue one at the same time it was discontinued.
Will you make the blue bayport again? It would be also nice to have other bracelet options for it.
Beautiful watches Mark congratulations. I am glad you removed the japan movement text from the bottom of the dials. It was a deal breaker for me when I went to buy your restocked sea foam. I was so looking forward to buying that watch. Maybe if you do another run you could delete that from the new production. I would definitely buy one.
Nice editions!! Have a great and successful year, Marc.
Same, thank you.
The bumblebee is my fav. Next one for me. Thank you for the improvements.
Good choice!

Welcome, thanks for watching!
I've got a black Bayport. Really pleased with it, simply an awesome watch for the price.
Sweet!
Marc my first Islander is still being shipped i havent gotten it yet but i want more already! That greyport! uhhhh and the beer color! Nice job!
Thank you! There's plenty to choose from :)
I really like "ghost" and Bumblebee" , bravo Marc
Thanks! Me too
I might have to sell my Mako II USA white dial for the Ghost! Beautiful!
Wow. I've got one of those too.
That red dial is wild Marc,well done, my friend . 🐝 is fantastic.
Thank you.
@@islandwatch you're absolutely welcome.
Hey Marc please do a wrist shot at the end of all the watches in your videos. Was looking forward to see the black and yellow on the wrist.
Looking forward to more purple releases! This one just wasn't for me since the bezel was not the same shade as the dial and I'm not a yellow gold fan.
Would be delighted to see a bee on the dial in the future model 😊😂
Loving the Ghost and Bumble-Bee....
Yeah, I love those two.
Hi Marc, these look great! Will the purple-black Northport be coming back into stock soon too, or did those come and go again already as well? Thanks!
Hi Mark. Is the rootbeer bayport the same color as the Isl 152 dual time watch?
No, they are not the same pantone
Missed out on the root beer last time. Unfortunately I don't really care for the additional Islander under the logo and the price increase. So maybe I will wait for the next version. Make a 38mm with the date at 6 o'clock.
LIW, knocking it out of the park, as usual !
Thank you
I love islander watches. Only thing is the clasp. I feel a better clasp can be had. But this is the best watch company for the money
thank you
Personally, one of my favorite things about your watches and other brands like say maybe Phoibos is the lack of text with the logo on the dial
Thank you
Ghost (storm troopers to me) and bumblebee looks fantastic! Great work!
Cool name, but trademark problems
Looking Good👍🏻👍🏻🐝
That spinnaker still looks great.
Looking forward to future purple watches
Thanks!!! More to come.
Root beer is super classy 👍
Sure is, thanks for watching!
The white dial looks very good.
Sure does!
Totally owesome lineup of watches Marc! Islander watches rule!
Thank you.
Will the bumble bee be offered in quartz ?
No, sorry.
The purple + gold one is perfect for UW Husky fans...like me
Haha, thanks!
Dunno if i would actually wear it, but entirely sensorily, i LOVE the red dial.
Love that bumblebee!
Thanks! Me too
I love the white! Your H link bracelets look awesome. Would you ever do a H link compatible for Islander 39 pilots watch? I think that would be a home run! 🎉🙌
Perhaps!

Oh that purp!
Yeah!
lslander Bayport. Is. Back. In. New. Bold. Colors. !
Nice watches
Thank you.
Your monster was just on Watchfinder’s last video!
Yes, saw that, thank you!
My birthday is coming later this month. You've once again complicated my wish list. I really like the 40mm size.
BTW, my wife just got me my 4th Islander (ISL-188). Love it.
Thanks! Love the 188
Great job again Marc.
Thanks again!
Purple should be the Barney-Port. Have the gray and a black, just ordered a Ghost. 👻
Or Grimace, LOL
Me: I was finally able to save up a little money and put it aside for a rainy day!
Mark: Hey Bob! Here's a beautiful watch in beautiful colorways with a great water resistance rating so a little rain won't hurt!
Hi Bob, welcome to the Islander Watch support group. Great to have you.
@@motosessions I've been a member for a while now! haha
LOL. Sorry Bob!
Good job, Marc.
Thanks.
Your designs are superb 👌
Thanks a lot
I own a blue Bayport, the lume looks too yellow in daytime hours for my liking. But that purple one looks amazing, though! Maybe we will see that dial on a Brookville?
Maybe. . . :)
Well thats it, if he fixed the lume issue, its now THE perfect watch (in Gray) Seriously where do you get that much value for the money?
That ghost 😮
Oh man if I didn’t have the Seiko monster bumble bee 🐝 I would for sure get your bumble bee🐝🐝🐝
That's a great watch.
Beautiful watches - i'd have a hard time deciding on one but I think the blue is my favourite (i'm a boring person). Though I kind of wonder how the yellow would look with a black dial, and yellow hands and markers.
Blue is nice, yellow better.
Is the islander writing going to be the standard from now on?
I would say on new models.
Looks great, thanks!
Thank you!

Thanks, same to you.
That Wu-Tang combo though
Killa Bees on the swarm!
:)
Hoping another batch of sea foam Northports, missed both rounds 😭
Sorry
Nice watch but not a fan of how islander is spelled out on Dial. Prefer the old way or perhaps a new italic. Just saying
new
Thanks Jonathan. No worries!
Very nice
Thank you.
excellent watches, really very good.
Glad you like them!
