- Wow! Talk about achievement. Introducing the Spinnaker Spence - the latest release from Spinnaker. It uses the thinnest case they have engineered to date, and still boasts 300 meters of water resistance. The Spence comes in 5 different colors, and has such features as a sapphire domed crystal, hi-beat Miyota no date movement, silky smooth bracelet and includes a bonus leather strap.

Thanks for watching! - Навчання та стиль
Nice! I always prefer a thin case because it slides under cuffs and doesn’t generate as much torque on the wrist. 👌
A great watch in a fantastic size that hits a true sweet spot. Saving up for one now and it will be my next watch. Have gotten other Long Island Watches both given and received as presents as well as purchased for myself. Been a pleasure to deal with you and I am sure it will be the same in the future.
Another blue beauty! Thanks, Marc.
Many thanks!
Nice watch! I think I will add this to my watch family!
Sweet watch! Like everything about it. 😉🐶🐕
Thanks Brande.
Your set looks awesome man. Super clean. Nice work
Glad you like it!
Great looking piece. I have twenty watches. Range from throwaways to luxury pieces. I can not buy anymore. However, If I had only a couple. This would be on my radar for acquisition.
Good, always room for more!
Very nice watch, that thin is really nice. I like the Spence name on the dial with the logo.
Yeah, very cool integration.
That’s a beautiful watch!
Sure is, thank you.
I hope one of the future Islander/Spinnaker mashups will be based on this watch. Love the thin case and 1000ft water resistance..excellent watch.
Thanks much.
Nice to see a thin diver!
Sure is.
Nice watch nice colour lovely movement
Thanks for watching
Saw the short on thin divers. Purchased tangerine. Love it
Casewize, this is identical to the NTH watches. water resistance too. Just another flavour of bezel, hands and dial. Nice to have more choices :-).
$650?? I can get two islanders for that price and be just as happy.
Maybe even 2x as happy :)
Defo 2x happier
The islander would have applied induces and a ceramic bezel insert!
Great presentation Marc. Not only thin but that 149 gram weight is a sweet spot! This watch may be on my short list for a future purchase!
Thanks Jim.
really? 149 gram:)
I guess Spinnaker calls it "Our Arrow Hour hand". Nice looking watch. Real nice.
Thank you
What’s with the logo on the case??? I thought it was a Zelos for a second.
How do I get a shirt? Oh and a seafoam IslanderJust ;D PS nice to see the Atmos. *PPS AWESOME UN! Love it!
I kinda dig it!
Thanks.
Busy bezel!
Very Nice! Where can I get one of those smooth Islander Watch shirts? 😬
This looks like a much more wearable watch than most offerings,and the blue isn't too bad
Very true! Quite sleek.
Nice and thin but the price is a little thick lol. What does Spence mean? Thanks for sharing it Marc. Have a nice weekend! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Named after a famous dude, like all their watches I presume.
I see your wrist check watches changed when you started the unboxing. That blue northport is very eye catching.
I knew someone would notice, LOL
A beauty!! But ouch on the $$!
Great new background for the review: that light blue is perfect! 👍
Watching with my wife, I called $650 exactly - due to the movement and the thinness. And wham - right on the money. Beautiful, but I want GMTs always…
Hi Marc, any plans on bringing back the Islander Monsters? They seem to be out of stock
So what exactly is the lume? Depending on the dial color, the indices range from green to white to tan(old radium?)
Yes, it can vary; white, green or aged.
Looks really nice, but for my money I think I'd rather get a Northport. Any idea when we can expect to see the Northports restocked, Marc? Thanks!
Few months. Sorry!
@@islandwatch No worries! I delayed for too long lol. My Salmonder has been keeping me great company this summer, I have it on a light gray perlon and it looks great. Keep up the awesome work!
If it had a date i would buy it
They brush the whole bracelet but polish the clasp?
High polish? No.
Overall it looks nice but the usual Spinnaker yellow/green tint on the lume is a deal breaker for me. Maybe it's not as noticeable in person but on video and in pictures the yellowish green color really seems to come through. It's just personal taste but I feel like it clashes with a lot of dial colors (especially red) and has turned me off from ever buying a Spinnaker. I also never liked the way it looked on pictures of the red dialed Orient Kamasu so it's not just Spinnaker. I could very well be in the minority on this but I just prefer the lume to be as close to white as possible in most cases.
No worries, thanks for watching.
Settle a bet...how long after you upload a video of a new arrival does it take to record the first sale of that watch?
Depends on the watch, but its minutes generally.
The bezel has too much going on it takes away from the dial
I feel $650 is quite high. For that price It should have a Swiss movement, no question.
Okay, thanks for watching.
Is there a date version in the pipeline?
Not that I know of.
This or a glycine 39mm sub? I’ll go with glycine with that extra 0.5mm “thickness”.
You mean "thinness", LOL
Thanks for the Glycine recommendation… where do you buy it? Their site is a bit wonky.
so the legendary Rouchefoucalt has finally been surpassed
LOL. Tells time in Staag!
Most of the watch looks great, but the hands are a total dealbreaker for me. They absolutely ruin the elegance of the watch.
Noted, thank you.
You never answered your question, thinnest 300M dive watch or not?
can we have more pink stuff
We should.
Very nice piece. 👍
I'm still more enamoured will that case.
You gotta mirror that design with the same features for the Islander 😁. Blue case/white logo or vice versa. Inside color the opposite with the pillow being the same color as the outside ☺️
Marc the 9039 is where you should be headed on Islander dive watches. That Seiko 5 day/date complication is so lame on watches these days.
I've used the 9015, so the same thing.
Post #2 regarding the case - Going to this type of case, the screwdriver you always send will fit in this case along with other accessories (additional strap or bracelet purchases).
Also, offer the cases to be purchased stand-alone. I'd buy cases for the ones in my collection now 😉.
If you do create one for the Islanders, model it after the Spinnaker as they nailed it.👌
Cases are important to me. I've bought Seiko's from vendors that use the most basic of basic boxes. I've gone on eBay spending $25 - $35 for the proper Prospex presentation box the should have come in.
Marc - You should start packaging your Islanders in those types of cases with the Islander logo or the new case back logo 😉
Or, offer a box upgrade for a few $$ 🤔
So they go through all that work for the bracelet but couldn’t add a divers extension 🤦🏻♂️. On a side note I’ve always had this I like them but don’t like them relationship with Spinnaker.
how can a 11mm thick watch weight 149 gram? omg
Great video. To much $$$$$
I want to like spinnaker but I just can't. Something g about their styling is just a bit cheap looking to me.
The only Spinnaker I have purchased is the Dumas Seaspray White with a decent discount, I love it, but I doubt I will buy another Spinnaker… time will tell.
I agree that some of the watches look cheap (others seem overpriced) and the lume is only average also, the lume looks good initially, but it fades very quickly. The photos showing the lume look photoshopped to make it look better.
However their customer service is great!
Agreed. Never have cared for their watches.
No worries.
To me, a few mm of thickness difference doesn't justify the price tbh
Agreed. 650 is crazy expensive especially considering it's not a Swiss movement.
We are getting to the point where shaving another tenth of a mm jacks the price.
@@islandwatch that's a good point
I will never wear a watch called Spence!
Okay!
Too pricey for a miyota movement
But not outside the market much. There's pricier ones.
Well, my omega SMP 2531.80 is thinner than this, so no, it isn’t.
Was your SMP $650 bucks?
@@islandwatch Nope, but you didn’t say “thinnest diver under $1k.” And anyway I bought it 20 years ago. $1075, iirc.
48mm diameter...🤣
