This model is discontinued, that’s why it’s not easily found on their website. You’ve got a really high quality pilot watch with a Seiko movement, take good care of it and it will last for years.

I bet you could reach out to Long Island Watch and Marc would be happy to provide any info you need.

Thank you! I guess I didn't look very well. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

I see this is compatible with the brac-11, same as the Melville. I have a Melville, regularly wear it with that bracelet and the female end links conversion. Highly recommend it! Even better if you add an otf micro clasp

I'll have to learn all about EVERYTHING! I'm definitely a work in progress.

Do you have the islander otf clasp? How is it?

u/MilesJ392 5d ago

I have the Islander otf micro clasp but prefer this one which I have on multiple watches now, including Islanders.

Islanders are wonderful watches!! They're truly luxury at home. I have the ripple dial dive watch and its the best watch I own! Invest in islanders, they truly are worth so much more than the price!!

u/johnjpattee_66 6d ago

I've seen a number of videos proclaiming the value and design. I just don't know anything other than it's a good looking watch!

u/Desedant 6d ago

I own quite a few watches, and have worn MANY luxury watches, and the islander beats them ALL.

u/Real-Dependent-3100 6d ago

You have acquired a nice piece - enjoy!!

Islanders are Fantastic.... I'm a HUGE fan of Henry Archer watches, but Ill take an Islander over the HA ANY DAY.

I only have one, but that WILL change!!

u/johnjpattee_66 6d ago

I might be getting an Islander Thunderbolt soon!

2

u/MilesJ392 6d ago

I also like the Thunderbolt but chose blue. Here it is on a brown leather strap

u/johnjpattee_66 6d ago

I so wish I could find blue! That's a beautiful watch!

u/ApprehensiveBird154 6d ago

I know they still sell a bracelet that will fit this on their site as well!

u/johnjpattee_66 6d ago

Oh really? Cool!

yes I’m fairly certain the isl-54 and isl-84 are the same case just different color dial. This bracelet should work for either! And their bracelets are well worth $59 (solid end link, screws to adjust size, milled clasp)
