Islander watch with Japanese wave print on face.

Anyone seen this watch on the Island Watch site? I think it looks neat. Anyone get one?

I haven't seen it but I assume you probably mean The Great Wave off Kanagawa, which is one of the classic "36 Views of Mount Fuji", which can be found on modded Seikos, vintage and new.

To me they just look like Japanese gift-shop watches that you would find next to the fridge magnets.

You may have a point there.

You called it on the picture. It may be on the kitsch side upon reflection.

I like that customized look, but dials are so small that I would have to see the watch in person to know that it "works".
