I like how you are sincere at the beginning about marketing/views. Many people are ok to say "I go to work to get paid" but when it comes to content creators it's suddenly "oh no I only make videos because I love it, I don't even need to eat or have a house to live"

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks for the vote! I could just put Rolex in the title of every video to make views, but that's not what this channel is about.

@fmc6338 6 лет назад

I am a German living in the states. I appreciate you carrying German brands.

@adrianasuncion1255 6 лет назад

Love the chronos! Watching in my hostipal bed 6 hours after surgery 😅

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Get well soon!

@eusupporter8438 6 лет назад

I hope you are well soon 👍, greetings from Germany 😊

@JohnClarkW 6 лет назад

That lume totally surprised me, thanks for that. Your video on how to set moonphase watches got me to look into your Graf Zeppelin watches. The Hindenburg moonphase is still one of my favorites. When people are looking for 40mm sizes, I typically recommended Graf Zeppelin ( usually Hindenburg, Flatline and Big Date ).

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks, love the Zeppelin moon phase!

@menaseven9093 6 лет назад

Beautiful Graf Zeppelin German watches.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@texasmade23 3 года назад

Thank you for making this video. I've never heard of the brand. Now I must have one. They are absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!

@blkcpdconure 6 лет назад

I really like the 8680-3 the lume applied to the whole dial is awesome

@chriswatchreviews4752 6 лет назад

I own a Graf Zeppelin Hindenburg with the Cal 9015 automatic movement. Black dial with Rose Gold case. Absolutely gorgeous and the movement is fantastic. Great video Mark!

@vishal3597 2 года назад

I just got myself the LZ-126 Los Angeles and what a beauty this is! The pushers really add to the look and I love the dome. The band is sterdy as well.

@ghostrider8307 2 года назад

I just gone the los angeles too. What a beauty... takes you back to 1940's

@paulstark678 6 лет назад

I love my Graf Zeppelin...finish is phenomenal and it's simply beautiful.I wear it for both dress and casual. Hope you sell a lot, Marc!

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@amigoa4678 3 года назад

Hi Paul Can you tell me how long is the battery life of zeppelin watch, Thanks

@benedekgabor. Год назад

All of them are gorgeous, but for me the crown jewel of their line is the 100 Jahre line. It is so gorgeous.

@sgbibby 6 лет назад

Mark I am a recently started collector. I now have several lovely watches based on your reviews....in particular the JUNKERS power reserve and the Seagull 1963. I just wanted to say thanks. I learn so much more from you than anywhere else.

@sgbibby 6 лет назад

Oh and I just wondered if you have opinion or stock any Christopher Ward watches. I have one of their GMT trident pro and thing it’s amazing value...

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks so much! CW is sold only through CW. I have seen and handled them, and am impressed.

@jdiggity2 6 лет назад

Thanks for promoting more Graf Zeppelins! I love my LZ129 Hindenburg (7046-3). That 8674-3 with the contrasting sub dials is gorgeous!

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@johncharleson8733 5 лет назад

That "Charcoal" Zeppelin is gorgeous; with it's beautiful brownish cast; elegant without being cold.

@DmitriyKretov 6 лет назад

I’m in love with Pointtec timepieces as well as these novelties! Thanks for this video.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching!

@joshzak8457 6 лет назад

Awesome channel- very informative and I especially love the watch and learn series.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Great to hear, thank you.

@stationplaza4631 6 лет назад

Thanks Marc..My goodness! I think that first one is going to be my next acquisition for my collection. The lume test is really quite stunning along with the rest of the design. The Yacht Master though in your wrist check, is really stunning gorgeous.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thank you sir!

@looseunit1615 3 года назад

I love the LZ 126 Los Angeles. That vintage look really grabs me.

@drouleau 5 лет назад

I saw my first Zeppelin in person yesterday at my local watch store while getting a bracelet resized - was so impressed with it that I bought it on the spot. Then I bought another one that night from your website. I'm an instant fan of these watches, and want more of them.

@savvylifestrategies9445 6 лет назад

Good review, Mark. However, for $349, I don't think it is a good value - quartz, mineral crystal, snap back, not automatic, sapphire screw back. Lume is great, though, and I'll take your word that the strap is great.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Quartz is a tough sell in my store. Perhaps if you held one, you'd understand.

@Mondyone 5 лет назад

@@islandwatch Not a fan of quartz, but i own 2 automatic watches from Pointtec and their attention to detail and build quality for the price is awesome. Their watches really do look like much much more expensive watches. It is so very true, until you will have their watch in your hands, you want understand the value it represents.

@mikemantho9426 6 лет назад

I love that chronometer w/ the cream dial and blue and red scales. Just beautiful.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

@MWall711 3 года назад

I love the look of these watches. Hope the chronographs are back in stock soon.

@Tintoycar 3 года назад

7:17 the large hand is the chrono

@Badastro59 6 лет назад

Love the reverse Panda ,Have say the staib mesh Bracelet I purchased from you is superb, looks Fantastic on my seiko SBBN031, Thank you.

@AzorAhai1209 4 года назад

The blue dial and the brown strap is my favourite combination. I'm thinking about buying the Atlantic series model 84523. These Zeppelins are gorgeous watches!

@andyben87 3 года назад

Sold. just got the rome, but in 36mm instead. Can't wait to see it!

@harvardford8752 6 лет назад

to each, their own i personally only get a quartz if there's a quirk like for citizen you get solar, and mind you one of the best solars out there. If not, the best for Casio, probably the most versatile and rugged watches. for Seiko, somewhat unattainable at the moment but, the Grand Seiko spring drive is probably the best quartz regulated movement ever made. extra smooth sweep. for Bulova, well that precisionist movement is great, smooth sweep on a quartz if bulova supplied precisionist movements to these guys... man this would be epic

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing.

@XardaZ0ly 2 года назад

Hey guys, man do I love these vintage-looking, yellow colored watches with domed cases! I'd really appreciate any suggestion of similar looking brands and models, in the below 500euro price range. For now all I'm finding are Orient Bambinos, and these Zeppelin. But I'd love to know a wider variety. Thanks in advance!

@bubbab7792 6 лет назад

Nice watches Marc, thank you for the vid. 👍

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Welcome, thanks for watching.

@dograishan8504 4 года назад

I guess the dial color name you are looking for is ivory

@zillsburyy1 4 года назад

is zeppelin and junkers the same watch company?

@nmoddentity8401 6 лет назад

The first one (black dial with white sub dials) looks awesome! Been looking for a good chrono. Sadly it's already out of stock. Hope you get it back soon.

@mike94560 6 лет назад

LOL I just ordered a Zeppelin from you today. Before I saw the video. I like my Junkers. German watches appeal to me. But I have an assortment of brands from several countries. I like the way your web page allows me to filter things.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@Claus-L.Mueller 6 лет назад

Great looking pieces. Fair priced. 👍

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thank you.

@TheTimLara 6 лет назад

That Aristo reminds me of a Fortis Spacematic. (Not a bad thing.)

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

True!

@calvinsullivan5741 6 лет назад

great video, Marc! you sold me on the Zeppelin LZ 126, Los Angeles model #7614-5. I placed an order just now. It has a beautiful dial and I think the watch is simply pure class all around from the case back to the case itself, to the dial. The squared pushers are very unique. I like that it has 22mm lugs, as well, since I have loads of straps to switch it up with, although the strap it comes with looks like a true quality strap. Keep up the videos, Marc!

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks so much!

@mbnjsc 3 года назад

New subscriber here. I love your honesty. Im a newbie in the watch game. What do you think about the Zeppelin 8680 for a starter watch. I love the look.

@pedrosaenz2800 6 лет назад

German watch very nice design and finish!! A very good price value option. Thank you for showing a diferent product.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks for sticking around for it.

@mattwilliams7454 4 года назад

i like the breguet style numerals

@zzygyy 6 лет назад

Flat line automatic lz129 looking to pull the trigger soon. The cool thing about these German watches...... You stand out from the crowd.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching.

@Mojom8 4 года назад

what does "cookie cutter" mean? like looks expensive but is made out of plastic? i just purchased an lz 120 rome with 36mm, even though its a lady model. but it doenst matter, suits everyone with a slim wrist, it just looks awesome. greetings out of germany

@SkipHeflin 6 лет назад

Love their design and wish they would include more automatic options, love that lume. Thanks for the video, fantastic work.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thank you for watching.

@fanfanc.3366 4 года назад

@inkitatus1 6 лет назад

Very Teutonic, and very cool! Cheers 👍👍

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@edwinchan5391 5 лет назад

Hi Mark, would you be reviewing the Iron Annie 5186-2? I think it is a very appealing watch that will draw a lot of attention.

@anirudhmoudgal 6 лет назад

You are right - these lovely pieces deserve more camera-time. Please do review the Zeppelin 7037M-1 Series LZ129 Hindenburg & Junkers 6089-5 Series Bauhaus! They seem like very interesting alternatives to Oris Big Crown Pointer Date and Junghanses respectively.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thank you, will consider it!

@reetambaidya6914 Год назад

Does the los angeles model have chronograph?

@giuliocagnetti249 6 лет назад

I agree with you, these are great looking watches. Loomed chronograph is my favorite. Great video.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks for "watch"-ing

@mmpdg 3 года назад

Beautiful !!!!

@Miklos667 6 лет назад

I love the Rome pieces, both. Perhaps I'd stay with the blue one. It would be perfect if there were a hand winding version. Nice video!

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thank you Gabriel.

@strannostrannovasrr 6 лет назад

All these dials are really awesome. Although a 38-40 mm case diameter would fit many wrists a little bit better. In my opinion the only bummer is the snap case back of the first two watches you showed and maybe the lack of a sapphire crystal. But oh man, those dials and straps... Well done Zeppelin! I will certainly purchase one in the near future. Thanks a lot for showing these beautiful watches.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks for checking it out.

@amigoa4678 3 года назад

Hi ,Can you tell me how long is the battery life of zeppelin watch, Thanks

@Huardo 3 года назад

Great content, this is not rude at all but you remind me of the pawn shop owner/ alien from the first Men in Black.

@husseinrommany 6 лет назад

What do you think about Zeppelin 8656M-4. I found no reviews no youtube. Cool reviews btw.

@HucaPuca 6 лет назад

I don't understand. You can get great looking chronographs with good brands for $100 from Casio etc., if they are quartz. What justifies high prices for quartz movements in general is a mystery to me.

@syndicatedsatellite7288 6 лет назад

My guess is, watches made in China are usually cheaper too buy. I have noticed that higher priced watches are also manufactured in lower quantities.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Different watches for different people. You cannot show me a Casio chrono that looks anything like these. It will be a cheaper looking resin watch. This watch exudes quality and class. IMO

@nmfl100 5 лет назад

Movement is only one of the components of a watch. Breitling, Tag Heuer and others have quartz watches for thousands of dollars.

@johnsmith-dm2tq 6 лет назад

I really like the look or the zeppelin watches however the company seems to have its head right up its a^^. what do I mean by this? I find a watch I like but its quartz, I find the same graf in an automatic and its 1000$ more. for what? they are not making their own movements. it is possible to get a good auto movement for 200$ and put it in the watch and have the auto version at 550. the case and dial looks like it has lots of work put into it but looses appeal with quartz or overpaying being the only options.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

I am not sure you looked enough, they make plenty of Miyota based watches under $400. The ones you looked at were likely auto chrono based. They are still pricey, but worth it (IMO).

@vilmosvalet6616 6 лет назад

Hi Marc! Great vid and beautiful watches! I really like the 7618 but I had the same thoughts. It looks almost identical w the 7680 and it’s a grand more expensive. I know it has the lovely valjoux/eta movement, but does that alone justify the big difference in price? Is the 7618 actually made from better quality materials or the only difference is the movement?

@goodforwatch 6 лет назад

I thought I was the only lefty who wore my watch right ;-) it would be interesting to see how many lefty's do this?

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Many I would say.

@holvickr1570 4 года назад

nice! made me decide to buy one, 7362-2

@UncleVoodoo 6 лет назад

I see you carry the Seiko ssc549/ssc487 world timer, you should showcase it. There is no good video on RU-vid demonstrating that watch (or its variants).

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@bigpizzapie 6 лет назад

Great pieces. Thanks for the vid.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thank you.

@ashneel 6 лет назад

Totally unrelated but why have you stopped selling Mondaine watches?

@luayis7045 6 лет назад

My favorite is the 1st one, that contrast between black and off white is amazing .. and that lume !! I prefer if it was an automatic with a see through case back plus sapphire crystal👌 .. Mark is there an auto version of it or a close model? Wonderful as usual 👏

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Their autos, none like this, are well over $1000 because they use Valjoux or Seiko NE88 movt

@ForbinColossus 6 лет назад

@6:40 *LUME SHOT* superb-ness! @15:10 Lume Shot

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

BIG GRIN!

@Jollopukki2 6 лет назад

Mineral crystal and quartz movement , 350 usd. They went CRAZY. I can get automatic Seiko Presage for this sum.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Right, but made in Hong Kong or Malaysia. This is Made in Germany. Maybe not worth it to you, but to others it is.

@Jollopukki2 6 лет назад

Long Island Watch Mark, you should know that all Presage watches are made in Japan. They have no Chenese or Malasyan versions.

@socrispy7114 6 лет назад

if they had sapphire crystal I would throw my money your way.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

They offer some sapphire, not many.

@mcho8665 6 лет назад

Hi Mark! Great video but where exactly in Germany are watches from Pointec mainly manufactured?

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

I am unsure. I don't want to say Munich, might be wrong. Reach out to them at pointtec.de and ask the proverbial horse.

@chizi500 5 лет назад

Hi please can you do a review on GRAF ZEPPELIN NORDSTERN SERIES #7578-. Thank you

@gafoorsunkesula 4 года назад

They should have gone with Sapphire crystal, otherwise great-looking watches.

@Tintoycar 4 года назад

No Nickle? Non allergic?

@ciao_abhi 4 года назад

42mm :( what a deal-breaker. Just when I thought I discovered my new favorite watch... do they make any 40mm and under ?

@seamusdaley3961 6 лет назад

If most watches run at either 6Hz or 8Hz, why are the markings between seconds divided into 5ths? Shouldn't each second be divided into either 3 or 4 tick marks rather than the 5 on the ring? Maybe the quartz movements oscillate at a much higher frequency, but are they converted down to a standard Hz for the second hand and chrono sweep hand? Does that frequency ever come in denominations of 1/10th second (or 1/20th) so that the tick marks between seconds are useful and accurate?

@seamusdaley3961 6 лет назад

The last watch with the vertical sub dials; the dials cut off the tick marks at the top and bottom, making it difficult to read between 57 and 3 seconds at the top and 26 and 33 seconds at the bottom. At the 3 o'clock position, you can just barely see the ticks between 14-16 seconds. Not very useful functionality for a chronograph. Regarding my previous posting above: Citizen Miyota movement 6S11-Quartz = 1/20th of a second accuracy? How is that read from the 5 tick marks/second scale on the dial?
