    This is a really good looking watch ! The drilled lugs are very useful when swapping straps. The sapphire insert is just great. I think I have a couple of watches with that type of bracelet screws. The bracelet is a bit thin against the case thickness, the wr doesn't really justify that thickness. I guess the small case diameter compensates against the thickness. The lune is insane ! I would prefer a rachet clasp and for a few $ more they could deliver better looks. No need to mention other micro brands at similar prices that offer a better package. Still it's a very nice watch. I would love to see this one in black. Thanks Kevin for one more honest and we'll worded review, stay safe.

      Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it. I think 13 mm or maybe 14 mm is about my max for watch thickness. I guess with short sleeves it does not really matter, but it just looks odd to me with a 38 mm diameter watch, and 15.4 mm thick.

      @@WrongTimeWatch look at it this way, a large diameter watch will look like a skillet on small wrists, while a smaller but taller , will look sporty. A 38mm on a large wrist (especially a diver watch) will look small but it's thickness will give to it wrist appearance. Imo it's a versatile model for a wide range of wrist sizes. Btw, it does look great on you, and I still want to see a black version.

      @@WrongTimeWatch yours is by far better, no crown guards, way better dial and a clean bracelet. You see...when jubilee was introduced on the batman, never bothered...I know you love your skx but no offense, I don't like the jubilee on sports watches, especially divers. I do own a watch with rise beads bracelet but in my eyes, it's very different from the jubilee. You got a winner there Kevin, keep it !

    Hi: Kevin I do enjoy your videos, I like your style, some of the others I feel I'am being hustled. And I know what I speak of. Keep up the good work, low key style really works on somebody who ran companys his whole life. Be well, Jack

    I have this exact model from long island watches. The Lume on this watch is fantastic and the best out of all 50 watches I own. Good watch just feels a little small for my 6.75in wrist for a diver

      @@juniorjohnson5961 haha, yeah, too many, but bought about 15 cheap quartz watches on Wish for less than $100 at the beginning of my collection journey 1.5yrs ago and then found TH-cam. Now purchasing all automatics with my latest purchase of the Omega Seamaster 300m 2 months ago

      The lume really surprised me. I really like this watch, but wish it was the SKX007 size. The watch is too thick for its diameter.

    Hey that’s my watch! I swapped the bezel insert for the black lumed ceramic from Marc and it’s been a work horse. Pretty too. Keep up the great content!

    • @WrongTimeWatch
      @WrongTimeWatch  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I should see if he makes a Green LCBI, the sapphire bezel kind of cheapens the look. Thank your for the kind words.

    • @fallinmor
      @fallinmor 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed, as primo as sapphire is in Yema, Oris and others I rarely like the look of it. If you can find a green ceramic that would talk this guy to 11/10 for me. Good stuff.

    hey kevin, Marc is Marketing it as a 13mm thick watch. you say it's 15mm🙄

    • @WrongTimeWatch

      It is definitely 15.4 mm, I measured it twice.

      Although Marc’s watches have upgraded components as compared to their Seiko counterparts, they are definitely thicker.

    • @WrongTimeWatch
      @WrongTimeWatch  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Which is unfortunate, as I don't really care for the added thickness.

      @a.j.c.t.3904 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      i think the domed sapphire crystal is the reason for additional 2mm thickness. his other islander 38mm watches have flat sapphire crystal.

    • @WrongTimeWatch

      That could very well be possible, but he could have updated the listing to show that.
