Mark, I just wanted to share with you that coworker had one of your field watches in green (#ISL-43) and I immediately knew it was one of your watches so I asked my coworker about his watch and before I could say anything. He said it was an Islander watch with pride and excitement. You definitely produce a great watch! Just wanted to share that with you. Cheers!
Do you think this might be standard on some of your watches in the future? I got big wrists that change in size even more with the weather/seasons so I love this idea.
Have this same clasp on a Strapcode bracelet for my Orient Ray. I like it a lot, especially adjusting on the fly when I go outside and it's hot and humid.
@@AK-rq1cz yeah your right it could improve my already pleasant experience with the Duro! Great point but I just need the gold to complete the set so maybe that then the clasp! :)
Thank you for this video. I got a citizen ProMaster automatic dive watch and for the life of me I could not figure out how to micro adjust this. I could see there were push buttons on the side but I could not figure out which way to squeeze them. I can't believe how easy it was. Thank you again.
how solid is the ratcheting when extended? In other words, how easy is it for an unwanted adjustment to occur? It seemed like it didn't take much to push it back in...
So great. So inexpensive, not sure why only the very expensive watch brands offer these with their watches. One question, will you offer these in 22mm? Thanks for always offering more and better options.
I have that same drum roller, bought from you just as the office shut down. So, haven't had the opportunity to wear it as a conversation starter, but someday...
Can u make a hidden clasp for your jubilee bracelet style watches. The watch looks more elegant just seeing the bracelet and not the distracting clasp.
Hi Mark. First, ty for the demonstration. My question for you is....would you please make a video, demonstrating how to adjust the "latch post/pin," which would effectively make the clasp mechanism close more crisply, and tight, therefore reducing, any unwanted play, when the clasp is closed??? Any help that you could offer in this department, would be greatly appreciated. TY, and have a good day
I was hoping for something exactly like this for my red-dial of the exact same watch. So glad you have these now! My wrist swells a lot in the summer heat and I still prefer to have a bracelet on most of my watches, so I’ll have to pick one of these up soon!
Absolutely love it. Your Islander brand is hitting on all the key points of differentiation. Excellent! Personally, I would also pay more for an upgraded bezel action. Thanks as always Marc.
Good evening Marc! Any chance for a re-stock of the ISL-85? They sold out faaast. Hehe maybe without a ghost date to boot as a cool upgrade! Cheers and more power!
This is a great option for the 22mm bracelets! Just curious, could you replicate the design of the glide lock or is that patented? Also the ones Mido uses for the ocean star is pretty sleak too.
They're slick. I like them quite a bit, but one caveat: they add quite a bit of bulk to the bracelet. They're really wet suit extensions; the on-the-fly micro adjust simply comes with the territory. Still, they're cool and I've got them on both a Bali-Hai GMT and an OG Monster with a Strapcode bracelet. The Bali-Hai is a nicer clasp, but they both work quite well. Just keep in mind that they do add a bit of heft and bulk. Not a big deal on the Bali-Hai (it's a brick to begin with), but it's quite noticeable on the Monster.
Very nice! Will this fit on the bracelet for the #ISL-79? Just want to make sure before I order one. I ask because you said it was a custom bracelet in the video for that watch.
@@islandwatch Too bad! The #ISL-79 is the only Islander dive watch in my collection. I seem to gravitate to your other models. I have #ISL-38, #ISL-32, #ISL-43, #ISL-87, and #ISL-53, in addition to #ISL-79. Just not a big dive watch fan.
Beauty !! Mark, how come manufacturers do not taper their bracelets more? Is it tricky to do? It automatically makes the watch look far more premium. It’s almost like they have so much metal they want to dispose of 😂.. Also, what do you think of an explorer inspired case for the next islander? Hope you’re well
Can you try other bracelets? I have tried on several others and it seems that the springbar is too thick for most, but regular springbars will work but the tips of them are not tight in the holes. So they move around and eventually work themselves out of the hole. Are there other springbars that will fit the holes better? Thanks for the information and content. God bless
@@islandwatch Ya definitely. But do you know where to get thinner bars with the thicker ends? The center "cylinder" part that houses the spring is too thick for most bracelets. But the bigger issue is the tips/ends of the bars are too thin and don't fit the holes properly on the clasps. I've emailed strapcode but they haven't gotten back to me. Thanks for the content. God bless
Please do a mint green SARBlander sometime, my dad would love that. BTW threw my ISL-37 on a bright blue rubber strap, looks awesome. Loving that watch, it's definitely stole the show lately. Edit: there's a lot of people who lament that Zelos quit using that style of clasp, I think this going to be a hit.
@@islandwatch hoping its soon! I keep a paperclip that is specifically shaped to adjust microadjustment holes for when I want it looser. This would be PERFECT for me.
My goodness. Most of my adult life I thought my 8.5 inch wrists were skinny. The more I get into watches I realize I may have been in error. Nice extension mechanism. 6 just about covers everybody.

:) Keep up the good work.
LOL, thanks!

This is awesome, thanks for continuing to offer your customers more and more.
Our pleasure!
it's a great clasp , I have one my Black Bay GMT. It completely changes wearing a bracelet in the sub tropical south !
Do you think this might be standard on some of your watches in the future? I got big wrists that change in size even more with the weather/seasons so I love this idea.
I bought one from the store, put it on a Kamasu with a jubilee strap, and it looks amazing.
Love the dial and bezel colors, they go perfect together.
Loved it so much, I ordered one shortly after my comment 🤦♂️🤣
Have this same clasp on a Strapcode bracelet for my Orient Ray. I like it a lot, especially adjusting on the fly when I go outside and it's hot and humid.
Thinking about putting on my Casio Duro then I saw it’s more expensive than the watch itself lol
Yeah but if you really like the watch and this would improve it then why not treat yourself? 🤷🏻♂️
Plus it would be such a baller move knowing that you spent as much money on the bracelet alone than the watch
@@AK-rq1cz yeah your right it could improve my already pleasant experience with the Duro! Great point but I just need the gold to complete the set so maybe that then the clasp! :)
@@wildankoso I’m sure most people wouldn’t believe that given how quality the Duro is for the price! Definitely funny though
Do what you like. I know people that spend bucks on their Duros.
That watch is still one of the nicest watches out!! Got to give you props on that one. Great job Marc on the colors.
saw these recently. I'm a huge fan of this! Summer in the Midwest has been brutally humid!
Works for that!
Awesome to have seen you with TGV 💪🙏
Thank you for this video. I got a citizen ProMaster automatic dive watch and for the life of me I could not figure out how to micro adjust this. I could see there were push buttons on the side but I could not figure out which way to squeeze them. I can't believe how easy it was. Thank you again.
Anxiously awaiting your quartz diver so this can also go on it!
Okay, great!
how solid is the ratcheting when extended? In other words, how easy is it for an unwanted adjustment to occur? It seemed like it didn't take much to push it back in...
Fantastic! I’ll be purchasing a few as upgrades. It’s a similar design to what my Certina has, and I love the quick adjust. Great job Mark!
You are precious. Please make this clasp in every size!!
Hi, what's the length from end to end on this? I have pretty tiny wrists and sometimes don't have links to remove to shorten the bracelets any further
closed, 46mm
So great. So inexpensive, not sure why only the very expensive watch brands offer these with their watches. One question, will you offer these in 22mm? Thanks for always offering more and better options.

I really like that clasp. Would have been nice if it was a little shorter but it looks great and seems to function smoothly.👍
It would be nice to see one that was 1/2" shorter with 4 micro adjust.
Not sure it could be done.
@@islandwatch Sounds like an engineering challenge! DO IT!
@@MidEnginedFan After seeing Marc's AMA today, I think he has had enough engineering challenges :D
So much information. Mark. Thank you.
You and Tristan make a great team!
Thank you, now I have to decide how many I want / need.
Could that clasp fit an Invicta Pro Diver watch? Thanks for your video. 🤔
Oh man, you just put out a fidgeter's dream!
Oh that's awesome. I know where I'm going the next time I want to upgrade a metal bracelet.
Would that clasp fit on the SKX Mod 8 purchased from LIW? Thank you for bringing this great option!😍
Will those fit the upcoming ISL quartz? Should I buy the bracelet ahead of time?
Can u make a hidden clasp for your jubilee bracelet style watches. The watch looks more elegant just seeing the bracelet and not the distracting clasp.
This is why the Rolex easy link is so awesome.
Hope you get some for a 20mm width. I would love to buy one for my Glycine Combat Sub!
Great looking clasp Marc!

Does Islander watches have an EU dealer? I am interested, but don't want to deal with customs :D
Awesome, great idea! thank you Marc.
Glad you liked it!
Nice!!!! Wow you are like The flash, one video you are in your Long Island Studio then the next video you are with TGV in Philly.
Are you going to do some sort of adjust on the fly for the islander dress watches?
That's probably not going to happen.
I was hoping for something exactly like this for my red-dial of the exact same watch. So glad you have these now! My wrist swells a lot in the summer heat and I still prefer to have a bracelet on most of my watches, so I’ll have to pick one of these up soon!
Perfect timing
Absolutely love it. Your Islander brand is hitting on all the key points of differentiation. Excellent! Personally, I would also pay more for an upgraded bezel action. Thanks as always Marc.
Awesome! Thank you!
Pretty handy the kind of clasps during summer months although tend to be chunky
Sweet! That’s a cracking clasp, top effort.
Thank you so mmuch! Keep up the good work
Excellent stuff. Sorry Marc, can you clarify if these will fit the ISL-64 (38mm purple) and ISL-56 (Monster). Thank you 🙂
He said 18mm, so measure the link measurement at the clasp.
nope.
If it locked both ways i feel like it would be a good improvement. But maybe it’s not strong enough for that?
Good evening Marc! Any chance for a re-stock of the ISL-85? They sold out faaast. Hehe maybe without a ghost date to boot as a cool upgrade! Cheers and more power!
Few months.
This is a great option for the 22mm bracelets! Just curious, could you replicate the design of the glide lock or is that patented? Also the ones Mido uses for the ocean star is pretty sleak too.
Hey Mark, does this fit the 38mm islander bracelets?
How about a glide-lock type clasp for the Seilexes?
I love the concept of this clasp so much, very similar to the strap code clasp.
Looks like it works a treat, but WAY too long to be practical.
Not sure I like having less links and such more clasp, just for the sake of micro adjust
Understood.
@@islandwatch no shade intended. Few comments call out for a smaller clasp with fewer micro adjust may be your sweet spot for the next revision
They're slick. I like them quite a bit, but one caveat: they add quite a bit of bulk to the bracelet. They're really wet suit extensions; the on-the-fly micro adjust simply comes with the territory.

They certainly are larger.

Because machining costs more than the materials.
Every additional manufacturing step adds to the cost .
Other than rolex, who tapers their bracelets by 4mm?
@@gilbertoflores7397 Seiko, sometimes. From 22 to 18.
@@uk366 which watch?
I think its more comfort than machining.
Explorer style not yet.
Could you please make a clasp that fits your 20mm bracelets? Field watches need some love too, not just the dive watches! :)
That’s amazing, think I would have it half way so I could loosen or tighten as they day goes on. 👍
Can you try other bracelets? I have tried on several others and it seems that the springbar is too thick for most, but regular springbars will work but the tips of them are not tight in the holes.

Impressive clasps!!!! Sadly we don't even have such high quality mechanism in many Luxury watches....
True.
I have the same clasp on my citizen BJ7128-59E it came with the watch it is a dive watch I thought it was the dive extension.
I have this on a Promaster Diver great idea for an extension, the fixed length dive extensions are daft.
This is an easy decision . Yes please . Already done . Good move Marc .
Thanks!
I've been hoping you would do this. Heading to the site to buy one now!
Sweet
Love it! Any plans for this on the high beat Islanders?
No, sorry.
How does one adjustment compare to one standard micro-adjustment on a normal clasp? Thanks
Think it's a little too long , quick question that's probably been asked but would this fit on the #BRAC-13 bracelet ?
Yup
Nice that the same claps on my Mido Oceanstar
Is that Strapcodes "Hexad"-bracelet?
Grea idea 👍 thanks Marc
No problem 👍
Case and bracelet will be so good now you ought to offer a Swiss movement option.
Ok!
OMG! Do you and Strapcode have the same manufacturer?
Doubt it.
Does it work on a vintage Rolex datejust?
This is amazing!
how about for my casio? I really want a no tool micro adjust.
Please do a mint green SARBlander sometime, my dad would love that. BTW threw my ISL-37 on a bright blue rubber strap, looks awesome. Loving that watch, it's definitely stole the show lately. Edit: there's a lot of people who lament that Zelos quit using that style of clasp, I think this going to be a hit.
Okay, thank you.
Can you put the O bracelet for ISL36, 38 and 39 on your website so that I can buy it please. Thanks
It is now.
Does anybody know if this will fit a Uncle Seiko or strapcode Jubilee bracelet for a Tudor
You should have a clasp produced that Fits the Speedmaster that only has two micros!
Outstanding.
More sizes please Marc...20...22 at the clasp 👍
Why this isn't standard on every bracelet is beyond me.
Because it's enormous, bulky, and hideous looking... And if you size your watch correctly, pretty much useless...
Price?
These clasps are also on the newer Balticus models. They're a bit on the chunkier side but undoubtedly tooltastic and bulletproof
True.
I have one from you, it’s nice but it’s a thicc boi, Possible alternative is seiko d1k6am-bk00
Nice video 👍😂
Mantap 💪👍👍
Thank you.
Hebat!
Seems a little chunky. Can you make it thinner?
That would be great for diving.
Sure would
Agreed , every pro boxer should own one .
If I purchase another Islander watch with this on the fly clasp? Can you send the watch with the on the fly clasp?
It fits the 43mm Islanders with the 22mm bracelets. You'd have it fit it yourself. It is quite simple.
Well there be one for Islanders 20mm?
Perhaps. We will see.
What about us 38mm guys!? Crossing my fingers for that one soon.
We shall see.
@@islandwatch hoping its soon! I keep a paperclip that is specifically shaped to adjust microadjustment holes for when I want it looser. This would be PERFECT for me.
How wide is the internal width of the clasp?
that's awesome!
Thank you.
@@islandwatch So can we order a watch with that clasp already on it?
I've been wearing my ISL67 Everyday for the past month and a 1/2 or so
Certainly a favorite!
My goodness. Most of my adult life I thought my 8.5 inch wrists were skinny. The more I get into watches I realize I may have been in error. Nice extension mechanism. 6 just about covers everybody.
Average is about 7"
Nice!
Thanks!
Will you get larger sizes or just 18 ?
I'll see. The min make was tremendous for this.
@@islandwatch I'd imagine you have to buy a pile to make it feasible. Thanks Marc !
I'm going to be that annoying guy, any chance of a Robin Egg blue islander restock?
Few months.
It just needs the fold over lock to be perfect
Awesomeness
Yes!
Marc, did you pay for the islanders that you are sporting in this video? :-)
shhhhh
He paid one way or the other.
It's very similar to the Hanhart clasp.
Noted.
