The last one is the best imo. It looks like they put the most design work into it, and sought to make something unique, as opposed to the other ones that look pretty generic. Nice strap too. Congrats on the new brand!
I hope they'll consider making a smaller rpm someday. Glad to know I'm not the only one with the "no 12 o'clock registration" pet peeve! Thanks for another great vid
I agree you are offering an amazing watch for the price. However i have a question: Why do these brands have marked up retail prices that are out of sync with reality? The biggest offender being Invicta, which uses this markup to appear to be a better deal than it is on home shopping network etc. That leaves a bad taste in my mouth even if the watch is good, i feel like there's a level of retail trickery afoot and it's a turn off
The Invicta model, as much as I hate it, actually works. Still, to this day, I will have people show me their $2,000 Invicta that they got for $85. You know my philosophy - if you're happy, and it makes you a watch person, then it's OK in my book.
Its wild how many people buy things based off of marketing alone. They think they got a crazy deal on an expensive watch, and makes them feel good about it, in the end the marketing is what convinced them of that and what they've convinced themselves in their head. Sometimes its easier for manufacturers to sell you the idea of a nice watch rather than sell you an actual nice watch.
Big racing fan here and I can definitely see the appeal of a couple of the models but still a bit skeptical on the sizes even at such incredible prices. Have to sleep on it or may not as it seems the ones with the smaller lug to lug have all gone 🙂
The prices on these are insane! Wow. These are going to sell out quick. I thought they were too large, but a couple are obviously getting inspiration from the Tuna and Willard, both of which wear a lot smaller than the dimensions would suggest. Thanks for showing these to us!
Hey I just saw Cadola on another channel. Thank you for your review. Yes the list prices are ridiculous however on their site there are many watches in the $100 and $200 ish watches. I am tempted.
Mark, I can’t argue with the great prices you’re offering, and there are a couple of these that tempt me. My only concern is the size. How long do I have to return a watch if I decide it wears too large?
Congratulations, Mark! Your video was obviously effective. Both my first choice and backup choice watches are already sold out. I consoled myself by going ahead with the purchase of a more expensive watch I was considering at Chrono24. I did ask to be informed when the watches are back in stock.
Agreed. For me, less is more, and that goes for size as well as appearance. Recently, I have decided that (not more than) 40mm diameter and (not less than) 100m WR are my parameters for even looking, and I am rationalising my small collection accordingly. Also recently, I bought an MWC with 300m WR which, though it is SS not Titanium, is a sheer delight. As always, thanks to Marc and Island Watches for all you are doing for the industry and collectors great and small. Respect 👊
The Giulia Suprema watch reminds me a bit if what Vaer is doing with their D5 line. I’m really digging this retro color rings design aesthetic that’s kinda becoming a thing right now.
Great Variety! Especially on sizes and color. Sapphire may not be included, but the design makes up for that. I don't like the non-swap strap on RPM version, but I think it is by far the coolest one in the bunch! It would have been an impulse buy all the way, but I stay away from custom straps or integrated (generally). If the RPM had swappable straps AND sapphire, (even at +$50-$75 more) instant buy. Great addition to store!
Too bad the RPM is already sold out, but at that price and with those looks I'm not surprised. Probably just as well: what I really want is a 38mm version, 10mm thick with sapphire crystal...
Any idea why they opted to make them so chunky (thick). I wouldn't have expected that thickness with an NH35 movement. Short of that, they're very cool and the pricing is great.
On watches at this price point there is no reason to go with the added expense of the see through caseback. Make it solid and decrease the price even a bit more. If I want to admire the workmanship on my Glashutte Original PanoReserve movement, i like a see through caseback. Otherwise not so much.
Marc, good choice of words, as mechanics would find wrenches their most used tool in their toolboxes. They have screwdrivers to get through housing, but they just handle more bolts than screws.
Looking at the super inflated pricing, size, thickness of the bracelet and profile finishing screams the typical watch club offering. A bunch of low experience watch collectors thinking they scored a massive bargain. There is a place for these kind of watches, you're pricing them well. But not for me.....

Thanks, I agree!
Couldn’t of said it better
Looks like an old muscle car speedometer, very cool.
Those RPM gauge watches are too cool they actually remind me more of speedometers with the date acting as a reference for the odometer/mileage
I hope they'll consider making a smaller rpm someday.

@@islandwatchYou’re too wholesome for this world, Marc

@@islandwatch
Did you tell them it was worth $50? 😂😅
Looks great
The first one and last one is the best looking
I really dig the last.
Yep agree, actually picked the first and last on my shopping list.
great styles for the price. as long as you like the design/feel of the watch you can never go wrong!
Wow. I was about to bitch about the mineral glass but then I jumped over to the site and for that sale price it’s no longer an issue! Wow. Tempting…
This whole series is excellent. Not sure which watch looks best. And than I'd have to pick the right dial too. Nice job Cadola.
I have 3 Cadolas. I really like the dials, and the details.
Man, you yourself are crazy good putting these beautiful watches for those special prices, very good, I like them all.
Very nice! Thx for showing us these!

For that price. hell yeah. Sold!!
Yeah!!!!

Thanks for watching it!
The light blue with orange stripe reminds me of the Gulf Ford gt-40 lemans racecars
Picked up the green RPM auto. Hope it looks as lovely in person as it does in the images.
Lust looked at it myself, you happy with it?
Pulling Trigger on RPM now! killer deal, great look!!!! Thanks again for the umteenth time, Long Island has my wallet! :)
Just received it, wow, nice watch, this RPM is soooo cool, an old school speedometer! love it, killer watch Marc, thank you !
Hey I just saw Cadola on another channel. Thank you for your review. Yes the list prices are ridiculous however on their site there are many watches in the $100 and $200 ish watches. I am tempted.
I love all of these. Are you restocking more?
My favorite is the Version 1 of the sand dial with the white dial, 36mm case and the quartz movement
Wow those watches are unbelievable. That last RPM gauge was awesome!!! Love your shirt. Will there be a video for the SpongeBob watches?
Ohh man this is a hit!! Live the RPM -01
Nice to see that these have some endorsement from you Marc. Just curious, is this brand coming from the makers of AVI-8 and Spinnaker?
Just saw the prices you weren’t kidding not gonna say them but their more than affordable 😉
Thanks for keeping it on the DL!
Nice watches, but I would rather see another motorsports inspired Islander!
Ah, can't argue there!
Mark, I can’t argue with the great prices you’re offering, and there are a couple of these that tempt me. My only concern is the size. How long do I have to return a watch if I decide it wears too large?
we say 30 days from receipt, but we aren't really firm on it. Just don't take 6 months.
@@islandwatch Thanks!

Well done guys.....very nice 🤗
The prices are very appealing but the dials are too busy and not really my cup of tea. Thanks for sharing and hope your flight went well! 🙏🏼
Thanks, it did!
Agreed. I am sure they will sell, but it won't be me buying one.

You can get some models with a race helmet watch winder ! Sweet :)

Thanks brother!
Like the T-shirt👍
Thank you!
well.... I guess I missed the RPM ones. Will they come back in stock at this price?
Will you be getting more of these back in stock?
That RPM is gorgeous. Too bad it's out of stock. Any chance they are gonna come back?
Lot's of interesting touches here!
thanks!
So all 5 colors of the RPM are already out of stock as of 4:00pm eastern time? Or have they not been activated on the website yet?
Too bad the RPM is already sold out, but at that price and with those looks I'm not surprised. Probably just as well: what I really want is a 38mm version, 10mm thick with sapphire crystal...
awesome mark!! love it!
thanks!
Nice! I like pretty much all the Dartmouth Brands of watches. Spinnaker is my fav ❤️
Is this Dartmouth?
I like the look of these. I own a spinnaker. I've not heard of Dartmouth? What is Dartmouth?
I thought spinnaker was an independent
@@shugertitsDartmouth is Duxot, Spinnaker, AVI-8, Earnshaw, Ballast, a few others..
@@aaronswatchesI knew about Spinnaker and AVI-8 (I own a few of each). Didn't know about the others. Interesting
Good design for sure.
These Cadola watches can be had for bargain prices! Definitely not £600 jobs though!
Marc, I put an RPM in the cart while I was driving. It was sold out by the time I got home. Please tell me you'll have more!
Love the RPM except for the difficult to replace strap. Going to a leather crafter for another strap makes me back off of this one.
What do a out think of the titanium Maratac DC-50?
Any idea why they opted to make them so chunky (thick). I wouldn't have expected that thickness with an NH35 movement. Short of that, they're very cool and the pricing is great.
$140 for a Seiko movement and mineral glass seems like a great price.
Definitely not $800
Roger that.
Wow RPM sold out too fast!
Cool watches at a great price on your site but unfortunately way too big for my 6" wrist.
NH35 movement watch, including a strap, £120 max.
Is that a Seiko with the mineral glass 😂😂😂. This is a pass for me even though for under $200 its not a bad price
Yes! LOL, thanks.
Who makes those watches? Italy?
It’s really had to justify buying anything under $500 when there is probably an Islander that is better and cheaper
On watches at this price point there is no reason to go with the added expense of the see through caseback. Make it solid and decrease the price even a bit more. If I want to admire the workmanship on my Glashutte Original PanoReserve movement, i like a see through caseback. Otherwise not so much.
Got it!
Go online NOW. These will blowout like the Avi-8 collaboration watch last week 😢
crazy, right? Just a dozen pieces of the AVI-8 are left out of 200
Mineral crystal kills it for me.
The squared-off rectangular hands on the third watch are a bit of a problem as they don’t properly point to anything.
All these options and all are huge/thick.
WOW I’m here 15hours after release of the video and BOOM they are GOING GOING GONE
kind of feels like round version of the TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 Automatic Chronograph Gulf Special Edition
Yes, I can see that.
Not a single model in stock as of today. 😢
They look fantastic but they're all too big for my liking.
Too large, but nice design otherwise
thank you!
Mahk "Flavor Flav" Frankel
LOL!
wtf!!! I was legitimately gonna buy the rpm! Out of stock 😢
Sorry - bought one last year and had to send it back.
Sorry to hear that.
Great price. Too big for my taste.
Fair enough!
Nice🎉
thanks!
already sold out on the RPM. sheesh.
These sold like hot cakes! hahah not even a week this video has been up hahah
Aww... one of the best nights in my life started when she said, "I'm gonna unwrap the head for you". Thanks for the fond memory 😊
hmmmmm
Sorry Marc, but they look like Swatches for teenieboppers.
All the Guila out of stock already…

Bigger watch bigger price? Dinner plates.
I wish my big wrists could wear a 36-39mm case. I'm happy these are bigger.
$820 nice... someone missed a dot before the 0. Oops.
LOL, good one!
👍👍
Yeah, who cares about MAP? It’s not like we’ve seen what that does to brands and companies before. 😒
Not sure I understand the full depth of the comment, however, all this pricing is IAW brand.
Ain't worth 200
Definitely not my style
