I’ve got a Falcon II in black/gilt, and a BB58 in blue (and a few other watches, too). These two watches are my favorites & get the most wrist time. They’re both different enough to be unique & liked for different reasons!
I used to own the Neptune 4. Great watch and great service! I got a Black Pro instead and aim for the 54 at some point. Thank you for the comparison - I like your style and wit.
Listen, you are hilarious.. After a 12 hour shift chasing criminals this was a welcomed video. By the way, I just picked up one on the use market.Thank you
@@johnmiranda9310 I'm glad you think so. My fiancé doesn't always share the same opinion 🤷🏼♂️ That's awesome! It's such a great watch. Enjoy it on your crime busting adventures!
They must have listened, the last newsletter update says they are working on a backwards compatible tooless, microadjust clasp for current generation of bracelets.
Excellent comparison and helpful video. Killer watch. Strongly disagree with your two criticisms though. I think they have done a brilliant job of offering great design, quality, reliability and value. I don’t need an extended warranty -ever-and while Bracelet adjust would be nice the extra cost would erode the great value for money. It’s like saying “perfect watch at $500, I just wish it had a 5 year warranty, Swiss movement, adjustable bracelet,…”. Well then it’s not a $500 watch anymore, which means fewer watches and I have to be more careful with it etc.
@@thomaswoodman4056 Thanks! Fair points. But I would happily pay $100-150 more for on the fly adjustment+ an extended warranty. Still keeps the price to USD 600-650 and makes the watch almost perfect
@@TheWatchOut at $150 more for a longer warranty, you'd likely be throwing your money away. Chances are with a Miyota movement, you'll never need the warranty and IF you have an issue after the 12 months, you could likely get it fixed for $150. I haver four Loriers. Great watches and fabulous people behind them.
I would prefer the Lorier Neptune if it had the dimensions of the BB54 specifically a 37-38mm case as having 6in wrist I don't think is gonna sit well at least the ones I tried with that size.
This watch wears smaller than it indicates. Keep in mind case size doesn't tell you a lot about how its gonna look on wrist. Also the website advertised pictures are on a 6 inch wrist. I think it looks good. You never really know unless you try it on. Its probably the most comfortable watch I've tried on so far.
Amazing review You have great taste I also have both I have to say that the Tudor feels more luxurious on the hand But I love both the same, The Neptune is very special I’d only change the clasp on it.
When i pause at 7:42 i can see your BB54 has misaligned pip and 12 hour marker, for that price it's unacceptable. That laurier looks flawless, the caliber isn't the most appealing though.
According to Tudor, that's within the acceptable deviation for the lume pip. On a day to day basis, it doesn't bother me. The Lorier is really good value for money though!
I know this is subjective, but I think the refinement in design and construction make the Tudor look like it's worth about 10 times more. Considering that, you could argue that it's pretty good value!
Great job! Love that Lorier. But Blackbays will always have a captive wannabe bro-lex crowd. I wonder how popular they would be if Steel Rolexes were easily available at retail price.
The oversized crown and thin bezel are areas where the Neptune falls short. Lorier has a really awesome brand aesthetic overall, though. The Falcon has always caught my eye, but I've already built a Spork and Ranger homage and I feel it's too similar to those two.
Honestly, I don't like that Lorier cut corners by puting Acrylic/Plexiglass crystals in their watches, which can scratch. Today, most micro-brands and Chinese watches have Sapphire crystal in their watches - did you mention that the Tudor is COSC certified??? Mine even came with a COSC certificate. I would never buy one of these watches ... too expensive and they are not great.
I honestly don't think that Lorier cut corners with the acrylic crystal. They are intentionally going for that, because it gives a mid century look. And I actually prefer it over a sapphire crystal in this case. But of course, the Tudor movement is significantly better than the Lorier's. That's no comparison
@@TheWatchOut you’ll get those well under $600 from GNOMON watches. I got the black one. I had a Neptune as well..Combat sub is way better than Neptune.
@@TheWatchOut I think the Miyota 9 series is raising serious questions about “swiss made” snobbery. Incidentally, I asked Lorier about regulating movements - they said their in-house tolerances are -5 to +12 s/d. Not bad at all.

Great comparison video! Thank you for creating it. Also, the “three people” in the world diving with it….😂
@@hajjcomb Glad you liked it!
I did the same comp but added the 58. Ended up with the 58 but would’ve been happy with any of them.
Agreed! Can't go wrong with either choice
San Martin got bb54 homage for 250 or 200 on sale it has on the fly and sapphire and ceramic bezel.
Amazing service from Lorier...They are very nice and helpful about any problem you can have. My NeptuneIV is still my favorite of all my watches.
Yeah, a really nice brand with great owners. Hope you continue enjoying your watch!
Great comparison, thank you! It confirmed my decision to keep my Neptune and not to get the BB54!
I'm glad I could help! Enjoy your Neptune!
I would prefer the Lorier Neptune if it had the dimensions of the BB54 specifically a 37-38mm case as having 6in wrist I don't think is gonna sit well at least the ones I tried with that size.
My wrist is 6" too, and the Neptune wears great!
The lug to lug is the more important factor, and both these have the same lug to lug measurement.

Fantastic review. Loved the overanalysis 😂
Always happy to overanalyze :)
The narrower/slimmer bezel of the Lorier looks soooo much better
Interesting take. I don't disagree 👍🏼
Great job! Love that Lorier. But Blackbays will always have a captive wannabe bro-lex crowd. I wonder how popular they would be if Steel Rolexes were easily available at retail price.
Thanks! The lorier is fantastic indeed!
But to be honest, the blackbays are very hard to hate.
@@TheWatchOut Agree! I just think all the fawning over Tudor is a bit much. Your review however was right on the nose.

I get more out of my Neptune so I sold my Tudor Black bay..
Fair enough!
If only they weren't constantly sold out
@@jonathannavarro6679 Correct. That's an issue Lorier faces unfortunately
Buy a Glycine combat sub 39mm instead if you can..
That's 3x the price of the Lorier :/
@@TheWatchOut you’ll get those well under $600 from GNOMON watches. I got the black one. I had a Neptune as well..Combat sub is way better than Neptune.
it has a Miyota movement. Dont ever compare a Tudor to that trash
The miyota 9 series movements are super reliable btw. Also, can you really expect Swiss made movements under 500 dollars?
@@TheWatchOut I think the Miyota 9 series is raising serious questions about “swiss made” snobbery. Incidentally, I asked Lorier about regulating movements - they said their in-house tolerances are -5 to +12 s/d. Not bad at all.
