KarmaToBurn 1,419 Posted December 11, 2017 I found this watch mentioned on another site and thought others might want to see it too... The first one released was apparently called the Independent Watch Diver one and for some reason the second model was released as Island Watch Diver Two (Maybe IWC didn't agree?). Both models are under $200 including PP fees and shipping from Taiwan. Some actual pics.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted December 11, 2017 The earleier dial and hands look nice but not a fan of the later dial and hands. I'd be surprised if they really had that good a WR in that price bracket but who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be surprised if they really had that good a WR in that price bracket but who knows. I agree that the first version is a bit nicer. I like the hands on the second version but I'm not a fan of the new name and the 6/9/12 markers. From last contact with the maker he said he still has all dials available to order. According to the only review I could find online, the person behind this may be the same one who was behind the Sharkey models coming out in the last while. Seems to be the same Pam case that a bunch of other micros are currently using. Maranez has the Racha with a more traditional dial that sells for almost $400 with the current Xmas discount (but with a 9015 movement). I have no reason to doubt the water resistance on these. They should be at least good enough for hand washing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
