Badger's Islander Automatic

Post by AtomicTom » Tue Oct 01, 2019 9:31 am

Not sure if everybody has seen Badger's Islander Automatic already.

The watch has a 38mm stainless steel tonneau case, 50 meter water
resistance, AR coated sapphire crystal, nice looking textured embossed
dials with Super-Luminova coated hands, and markers, Sellita SW200-1,
and leather straps as well.

A few pics guys...

The subject line caused a slight brain short-circuit... I'm a few mins drive from Badger's Island, ME right now

Not a bad looking piece. Thanks for sharing, Tom

I think if the case was a bit more square, not so elongated, it would look better. But the name...... "I have a Badger on my wrist and strap is made from Beaver" .....

I was just thinking the same thing.

Is that bar still open over there with the deck? We should grab a pint there on the next sunny day if the deck is still open.

Now that is one cool coincidence right there Erik ! :grin:

Also totally see what you mean about the elongated cases with these Jeremy. :thumbsup:

Just thought they were interesting because they kind of take the classic
tonneau style, and modernize things in a nice way. ..There are the lines,
along with angles in the case, But then the dial shifts gears too with the
colors, textures, and even hands, markers, and numbers it looks like.

The thanks as always goes to all of YOU guys !
