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 :-)
@@islandwatch Maybe you can hint to squale Marc that they need to upgrade that clasp... Just cheapens the piece in my opinion.. I'd gladly pay more for a really nice push button clasp ..cheers.
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.
Really are beautiful dials and just overall a harmonic balancer that is easy on the eye!! That gray, green and blue All amazing looking. Anything associated with Islander is a treat! When an educated enthusiast with good taste is involved it can take things to that level we can appreciate very much which has been the case and the fact that they all are tremendous value imho as well.
Ye gods, the blue and olive are gorgeous! Still mustering the nerve to sidle up to the polished blue 1521 and ask for a dance. Until I saw this, I didn't think I'd have to contemplate jumping two sharks! To say nothing of a few of the Islanders that strike my fancy. Deliciously difficult choices!
Wow! These look absolutely phenomenal! And I can’t think of another dive watch from an established Swiss brand (outside of the Swatch Group) that offers all this for such a comparatively bargain price! I’m sure these will fly off the shelves!
I have a question about the MTK-13 in Grey Sand. In the pictures on your website, the case and bezel appear to have a slightly tan colored finish. Is this just due to the lighting in the photos? Or does it really have that tan/khaki sort of finish on it? Thanks!
I can't keep doing this anymore. I think I have a problem. 🙂 I just bought what I thought was my last watch of the year. How can I possibly resist this Squale? Loving the blue dial on the bracelet.
Very nice looking watches. I have the first iteration of the Montauk. Are you selling these rubber straps separately? Will they fit the original Montauk or are there other straps you would recommend?
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.
Wow! These are fantastic!! Now can I resist buying one? I already have the 20 Atmos 1545 and the Sub-3920 Corso Italiano (Whatawatch colab) that really looks a lot like your new Montauk! That green sand dial is a stunner... Update: OK, who am I kidding? I have 0 willpower when it comes to Squale. I just placed my order for the green dial and a bracelet! (time to sell a few of my other watches to offset the $)
I received my green dial version today and all I can say is WOW! If you are even slightly considering buying this watch, do it now! You will not be disappointed especially if you are a Squale fan. This is a fantastic addition to my other 2 Squale watches.
Those are nice watches Marc. Not my usual style of watch to purchase but I like it. And I'm not sure I could pick a color since I like them all. But if I were forced to choose, I would go for the olive green color. I love everything about them too. From the face to the bands, they are just well thought out in design. I usually go for something that is all steel in build.
Hi Marc, love your watches love your content 🙌🏻 I am certain that your brand are one of the best micro brands out there. People do actually love them so much! I am pretty sure that you are probably happy right now.
I know you are proud of everything that you have accomplished so far. I have come across many comments regarding your logo, I know I know that you do not care, but people are talking.
Would you consider to come up with a new logo idea? I think it will expand your customer base even more so. It's just my humble opinion. You can just disregard it totally. But this is my genuine comment. And I really want to see your brand get even bigger. Thanks again for your great contents and your impeccable knowledge. I have learned a lot from your channel.
The Montauk's are really nice. The blue looks amazing on your wrist! I see some skinned up knuckles. Are you trying on way too many watches again!?! 🤣🐶🐕
These look awesome, but I gotta disagree with you about the old colors, as I thought they were fantastic! The bordeaux red and the root beer brown were my personal favorites. Maybe every iteration of the Montauk series could feature a unique dial. How about applied indices for series 3? Call it the mini-Matic Montauk LOL
Damn you Marc!!!! you're responsible for for my out of control watch buying weakness........ Kidding of course brother, I'm gonna kick this one around a bit(need to decide on grey or black, then of course there's blue and green, oh God) lol good stuff Marc, thanks again for great customer service and of course, great products..............
Green is my favorite color, but most green dials are a cheap looking emerald hue. Only interesting shades of green like this one make it onto my wrist.
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.
They look nice, but I still prefere my original Montauk. Idk something about the brushed rehaut and 10-60 on the dial doesn't do it for me. Just preference.. I do like the new 1545 though, any video reviews on that? Thanks 👍🏻
Does the bracelet smells vanilla ? Why not remove the ghost date doesn’t Squale have Watchmakers plus Sellita 200-1 in Squale are all elaborè this is dropping Squale less costs should have Islander logo and TGV logo in the back case
Thanks Jeff! I mean, I think you can still tell the time fairly accurately, maybe not if you're storming a complex, but good enough for what most people use it for.
I figure if you can see the seven and the nine minute markers either side of the minute hand and not the eight then it’s on the eight? I get what you mean about the length but I guess if something is a deal breaker then fair enough. Personally I think it looks awesome!!!
Another re-release of a of a one time release of a "when they're gone that's it.. never to be seen again? 5711 formula wariness . I'll gadly pay you Tuesday for a Squalid watch today. 🥶

I dig the improvements and how the old style was retired. My dad absolutely loves his sunburst green Montauk.
Thanks Ben! Green was cool!
38mm, no date, these are a home run. Congrats
They look great Marc, my only concern is the potential durability issues going with a mineral crystal bezel insert instead of sapphire.
Valid concern, but it's the same as the original, and I never had a complaint of broken inserts.
Mineral is supposed to be less scratch resistant, but more shatter resistant.
Blue and green dial/strap combos are killer.

That colour set is just spot on ! Great job ! 😎
Beautiful! Bring back the date and I'm in!
First time smitten by a Squale. These are beautiful designs, Marc.

That green is gorgeous
Great watch. It would look amazing with a matching rehaut and matching color bezels.

Great work Marc! Dare I say best value Swiss diver out there? What a home run, these will fly off the shelves! Gray is my favorite.
It is possible!
Wearing my Squale Corso Italiano today. On a tropic. Very similar feel to the new Montauk. They look awesome!!
Nice watch!
Ye gods, the blue and olive are gorgeous! Still mustering the nerve to sidle up to the polished blue 1521 and ask for a dance. Until I saw this, I didn't think I'd have to contemplate jumping two sharks! To say nothing of a few of the Islanders that strike my fancy. Deliciously difficult choices!
I enjoy to look at your watch. Thank you.
Saw the video, went to your side and bought the black one without consideration! Sir, you created a very tasteful watch!
Wow, that's great. Thank you!
I love this watch! What a beautiful piece, saving up for it🤩
Wow! These look absolutely phenomenal! And I can’t think of another dive watch from an established Swiss brand (outside of the Swatch Group) that offers all this for such a comparatively bargain price! I’m sure these will fly off the shelves!
That's the plan!!!
Off course it’s business USA 🇺🇸

You hit it out of the park on this one, Marc!
Squale helped!!!!
Very nice! I like the blue but the green is really unique. Thanks for sharing them and have a great Sunday! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Blue sure pops!
I’m interested in getting a reasonable price skin diver. Was thinking Dan Henry but I like that there is a bracelet option for this Squale.
Thanks!
Love the new look, Mark. Great job!
Now I have to convince the wife!!
I love my OG Montauk. Great update!!
Enjoy, thanks!
Beautiful watch. Am I seeing it right, that the bezel overhangs the case just a tad? Is it 38mm case, 39-40mm bezel?
Love the Arabic numeral dial. Giving a blancpain vibe. Looks great!
Thanks!
That green is killer.
Yeah, grenade green!
Really nice looking with great specs. Minute and second hand are a bit too long. Nice job over-all!!
That green one is super nice looking.
Amazing watch
You're making it difficult for me to pick out a new Squale. I'm currently stuck between the Montauk and the grey sun burst Super Squale.
Another winner Marc. Maybe I should just have my paycheck forwarded directly to you! LOL
Do all the dials have the same green color lume?
i'm loving these!
Those are stunningly beautiful. I'm going to have to think long and hard about those.
Okay!
Oh wow that is absolutely stunning
Thanks!
Shame it's sold out, I really like this one. I look forward to the next release.
Marc, these are GORGEOUS!
I'm a huge fan of my Montauk 1, and I really need a Montauk 2!
BRAVO!
Right on!
I can't keep doing this anymore. I think I have a problem. 🙂 I just bought what I thought was my last watch of the year. How can I possibly resist this Squale? Loving the blue dial on the bracelet.
That Blue is Niiiice!
Ever getting the black one back in stock?
Dammit Marc. My paychecks can't keep up with these bangers you keep putting out.
Blame Squale for this one, not me!
Love the grey one!!!
Concrete!
I think they are an improvement. Very nice job 👍🏻
I think so too!
Looks like the Glycine Combat Sub with the 3/6/9 and textured dial
First the Penn, now this. You're costing me some money this month! Great stuff.
Haha, thanks and sorry!
Any recommendations for my Phoibos. Abalone Wave Master? Looking for a stainless steel bracelet 22mm. Thanks!
Very nice looking watches. I have the first iteration of the Montauk. Are you selling these rubber straps separately? Will they fit the original Montauk or are there other straps you would recommend?
I like this version over the original. Will be considering this for Father's Day as the TGV LE is my Xmas present to me.
Thanks! Great grab for holiday!

For anyone who bought the Montauk... did it come with the blue leather squale watch pouch?

You weren't kidding when you emailed me back the other day saying they would be returning at the end of the year!
Yup, no joke!
Very cool . I like the grey best but all are very good .
Thanks so much!
Hi Marc, is Long Island ship to south east Asia country ?
Maybe I missed it in the video but are these going to be a limited release?
No plans to
TGV overload booop! boop! BOOP!!!!!!
I'm so happy that you brought this watch back with the changes you made. I just ordered one with the blue dial. Can't wit to get it on my wrist 💙🔥💙🔥💙
Great!
Just ordered one.
Which color? How do you like it? I think I might buy one soon
@@MrBacchus18 I'm pretty boring, so black. To be honest I love it. Amazing quality for the money.
I want an orange or a yellow one!
Ha! Two colors we didn't do :(
Same. Orange would be the perfect watch.

Funny you spotted that. Actually, burned them on the grill!
Why does this watch not have drilled lugs? I like the grey.
Wow, they look 💣 good 👍👍
Thank you
Blue Sand? Is a very nice sand dial. But how about Ocean Blue, Seaweed Green, Oyster Shell Grey & Pearl Black. Just a thought since you asked. :)
dayummm
Marc are you prepping anything for Black Friday/holiday sales? 👀
These look awesome, but I gotta disagree with you about the old colors, as I thought they were fantastic! The bordeaux red and the root beer brown were my personal favorites. Maybe every iteration of the Montauk series could feature a unique dial. How about applied indices for series 3? Call it the mini-Matic Montauk LOL
That's a great disagreement! I wasn't sold on the the brown or red, but to each their own, right?
How many positions is this movement regulated to?
Standard grade adjusted to 2 positions.
How would they be for 7.5 inch wrist?
Depends on your taste, mate. On average, it'll be just fine and the same size of the Rolex Submariner Sean Connery wore as James Bond.
I like how the blue dial and strap match but for me the bezel doesn't work. Now if the bezel was in the same color blue 😍🤑
Oh man! Imagine ;)
are these longislandwatch exclusives?
Yes
Damn you Marc!!!! you're responsible for for my out of control watch buying weakness........

So close but no cigar. 4 o clock date window would have been an immediate buy but can't justify it, wouldn't get enough wrist time

Marc...sorry but the hands are TOO LONG. How are you supposed to set (or read) it accurately? Otherwise nice design.
Thanks Jeff! I mean, I think you can still tell the time fairly accurately, maybe not if you're storming a complex, but good enough for what most people use it for.

I agree. Hands being this long makes no sense with this dial. That combined with the ghost date make this a mess of a watch.
Wow, $595 is a great price
Yup!
NO MORE DATE THANK YOU
