    Love the addition of the 3, 6 and 9 markers. This, along with the textured dial, really adds to the vintage look. The grey dial is my favourite, then black, green and, finally, blue. Keep up the great work and keep well :-)

    They look great Marc, my only concern is the potential durability issues going with a mineral crystal bezel insert instead of sapphire.

    • @islandwatch

      Valid concern, but it's the same as the original, and I never had a complaint of broken inserts.

      Mineral vs sapphire vs acrylic or hesalite is forever going to be argued with WIS. To be honest I have a ceramic bezel diver and an acrylic bezel and crystal gmt, they are both incredible in their own rights and provide a different visual experience. Mineral isn’t currently in my collection but I would venture to say it has its place and gives off a character that I would appreciate. Scratches are a part of a watches journey and even my submarine steel Damasko DS30 has a few scratches (supposed to be impossible to scratch). It’s a story the watch can tell and you like the look and the brand then buy it without worry. Great watch Marc, the version 2 is a home run in my book!

    Awesome, Marc! I love my original Montauk with grey Fumoso dial. With the SW200-1, Élaboré-grade (adjusted in 5 positions), that watch was a steal at $429. I bought the bracelet also, which I highly recommend. It changes the character from vintage skin diver to modern diver beautifully. The new one is now calling my name also, especially the green dial.

    I have an original Squale Montauk in the rootbeer dial and the optional bracelet and it is phenomenal. In fact the specs. on this watch are very similar to models on the Squale website costing more than 2X the price of the Montauk. I have worn mine regularly for over a year and the bezel being mineral crystal has been of no concern; in fact Squale uses the very same bezel on some of their more expensive models.

    As a long time fan and patron (a purchaser of many LIW Watches) of Long Island Watch, let me say how much I dislike most of the recent releases. They used to sell watches "that you actually wear" but have disappointingly strayed from that mission /approach as this is yet another "no date" watch AND with a ghost position at that. Also, like one of the recent Breitling models, it has an oversize chapter ring that is wasted real estate, resulting in a smaller than desired dial; you know, the part that tells you the time. Geeze.
