Now this is how you sell. I was lurking around your website and this video just sold me on it. Thank you.

@markhansen8078 3 года назад

I love the look of the dome crystal. It should be made that way. The difference is stunning to my eye.

@lucacadianalbert 4 года назад

you are on FIRE with these releases Marc! that is such a cool product to bring to market. Thank you!

@islandwatch 4 года назад

My pleasure!

Just ordered the double dome for my srpe57, can’t wait! Thanks for making these! Perfect tool watch after this mod 👌🏻

Bought your double dome and also the bracelet. Looks wonderful. Thanks Mark!

Right on!

That double dome looks 🔥🔥🔥 I might finally have to pick up a Seiko 5 The SRPE series is the best in the 5 line imo

@islandwatch 4 года назад

Yeah, I might agree!

@mr_5htman 3 года назад

The sapphire I'm getting is compatible with SKX and SRPD, however I want one for SRPE. Will the crystal be compatible with SRPE as well?

@the_9ent 4 года назад

Mark, this is so cool. Wish Seiko would just offer sapphire in watches above $300

@a_z.tazzzfan8497 4 года назад

Marc, I appreciate what you are doing to help improve this new generation of Seiko 5's but, I will wait for you to come out with a bezeless Islander SKX style case that is done right from the get go.

@islandwatch 4 года назад

okay :)

@wristcandy5451 2 года назад

Love the domed one

@colliedogjoy 4 года назад

These look great - I couldn't make sense of your instructions re. DIY replacement - you seemed to suggest that the crystal could be replaced without removing the bezel.. I'm sure I misunderstood - If anyone has a 'how to' video, I'd be keen to see it done. Can't wait for mine!

@zBMatt 4 года назад

Would’ve been great if you could include an option where you put the crystal on the watch and sell it that way.

@opticwiddly5263 3 года назад

It's called an Islander

@zBMatt 3 года назад

jesus mesquita nonon I want a sapphire on that specific watch, not the islander brand watch.

@LamiaAnanna 11 месяцев назад

As now an owner of SRPE51, And seeing you have flat sapphire available. I can buy from you but it will be hard to find a person near me who will be expert enough to replace crystal without damaging the watch. I wish you had option to buy with sapphire installed

@elektron2kim666 4 года назад

Got a retro Casio home from ebay with sapphire (it seems) - feel lucky for that. When I tap on it there is a solid sound to it. I know it's not mineral as I experiment with polishing out scratches on mineral and tapping on those is different.

@islandwatch 4 года назад

That's interesting. Didn't know they got involved in things like that.

@ozludo 4 года назад

Hey Marc - the new SRPE33 35 37 King Sammy watches seem to be about $600+ USD. Meanwhile the ISL-26 etc are about half that, and you just posted a really cool SARB look alike dial on Insta... I'm not asking a question so much as pleading with you to create a textured dial that competes with the overpriced Seiko Kings. And to say "Thanks" yet again. You're killing it.

@adamb3129 4 года назад

They will go down in price after release. You can buy a King Turtle on eBay for 400 or less

@blackcountry6660 3 года назад

Hi Marc. Thank you for offering the double dome and flat Saphire. Which one produces less reflection / glare?. I gues both are anti-reflex coated? Do you plan to offer these glases for the srpg31k1 series too?

@vincentpickett121 4 года назад

Nice mark still waiting on the restock of the isl 26, when can I expect them?

@mortenbjerremannnielsen4388 2 года назад

I wish Seiko would do this... The Hardlex is the only downside to the Seiko 5 Sports lineup in my opinion.

@markdrummond7 3 года назад

Having popped out the crystal from my new Seiko 5 (same as Mark's blue one in the video) to have a look, I found they seem to have a different gasket to other seikos - more square (fatter) in shape and came out still on the crystal - had a nightmare putting it back, took an eternity to seat. Is it a different gasket or a particular knack - never had a problem with lods of changes I have done in the past.

@andy-kai-chan 4 года назад

HI Marc, I purchased a watch from you a while ago. I've had my heart set on a Seiko frost monster for a while now, but its obviously impossible to find. I hope you consider doing an Islander version...'cause I'll be begging you to take my money.

@peppperc0rn 4 года назад

Good stuff Marc. Is this a service you offer. Can the watch be sent to you for the replacement ?

@justbob7828 3 года назад

Hello Marc, are the dials between the 42 mm SRPDs and these 40 mm SRPEs the same? I own the green SRPD61 and I love the dial but unfortunately they didnt realese that dial for under this model and I have a small wrist so I was thinking if I will be able to fit that green dial on these 40 mm cases?

@loganholmberg2295 3 года назад

Do you offer better/larger clasps for these watches? I got a 8.5 ish wrist and 2 pionts of micro adjustment just isn't going to cut it? Also I think you listing lists a 20mm lug for these watches but do you know what the width for the clasp is? The band must narrow down not?

So if a crystal is bought from your site and the customer fills out that form does that particular watchmaker charge additional for installation? I figured it is but i wasn’t sure.

@petergplus6667 4 года назад

The flat sapphire has more contrast in comparison to hardlex in this video imo. For now I can resist these yet.

@martinmixing 3 года назад

Hey Mark, just installed your double domed sapphire crystal into my blue SRPE! Looks awesome, elevates the watch to a new level! However, the chapter ring seems to have gotten damaged a bit in the process (or was damaged already), so I am wondering if you are looking to make some chapter rings any time soon for this model?

@danzanryu83 2 года назад

Any idea how to install it? I removed the bezel and I can't seem to get the bezel onto it

@ChronometerCheck 4 года назад

AR coating changes the look and feel of a watch completely. I love being able to see the dial straight through. One of my only gripes with the SARB033, for example, is the lackluster single-coated AR that doesn't do the job as well as it could. This will be an awesome addition, and of course, provide additional scratch resistance. Keep up the great work.

@islandwatch 4 года назад

Thanks.

@FullTimePRO 4 года назад

Alright Mark, time to corner the market and start making Casio Duro mods, bezels, bezel inserts, dials, bands, crystals etc. The watch is cheap, there isn't much direct aftermarket support etc. Think of it like making aftermarket parts for a civic, a cheap car that can introduce people to modding :)
