Manhasset as an affordable GADA watch?

Hi all,

I was only introduced to Islander and Marc a couple of months ago when I snagged the Isl-16 pilot watch as part of the Black Friday deal and I love that one as well as the value Islander provides in an otherwise increasingly expensive industry.

I am in the market for a relatively dressy but affordable watch and was looking at the likes of Orient Bambino and Seiko Presage but I figured I’d give the Islander site a look andU saw they list the Manhasset as a dress watch. Obviously it’s not a traditional dress watch but I love the look of the black dial version and specs and realize that I’d rather have a more versatile watch than a traditional dress watch I’d only wear a dozen or so times a year for weddings and such.

Do folks here think the Manhasset holds up in terms of versatility and overall value at its price-point? Thanks!
