As far as I'm concerned you can't beat the warmth and distortion that plexiglass gives you. The Neptune is a beautiful tool watch. I've just ordered the Neptune 3 blue dial and can't wait to recieve it. Their website is really slick and their sales system is a joy to use. Great review.
I got the black gilt
One thing I really like about Lorier as a brand is that their logo doesn't scream "micro brand". It's just a well designed logo/font that will age gracefully with the brand as it (hopefully) grows and flourishes.
Love the beautiful simplicity of this one. Great review 👍
That’s so true, its simplicity is so obvious it goes unnoticed. No bill boarding or flash, just straight up watch with a classic styling all its own. Always happy to have you here, Jeremy.
Have to say, this watch and the acrylic crystal really have exceeded my expectations. I held off buying one until the second re-stock of the third generation. I was always hesitant about the crystal. The crystal is gorgeous. It looks flat out better than a sapphire without question. It’s been described as a warm look and it is a fitting description. And the few scratches on the crystal were gone in a minute with polywatch. If I have one complaint it’s the closing of the clasp. I cannot get it to close quickly and reliably unless it’s set on the last micro adjust hole.
People complain about the crystal but not on a Speedy Pro.... I think the plexi crystal gives the watch a lot of soul. the hands and dial are executed perfectly and nice lume. Way better than Baltic Aquascaphe which is a far more expensive watch.
Already got my Neptune 3 black gilt this summer, and my Falcon Blue Silver today! Easily the most satisfying watches I've ever handled, and they're both so timeless in their designs! Can't imagine ever selling any of them
Totally on the same page with you, Endre. Couldn’t have said it better myself. They’ll be sticking around for sure. Congrats on the blue silver falcon-such a fantastic looking watch. Enjoy it in good health!
Have the version 2.
Have a ton of divers but nothing as good as the Neptune .
The bracelet is amazing.Absolute quality.
If you’re lucky enough to get one you will not be disappointed .
LOVE your channel. I am alread researching for my Xmas watch, and I am burning through your videos. Thanks for the content! (regarding that Xmas watch - looking like the falcon or the everest)
Great review! Honestly, apart from the loud rotor in the movement, this looks like a great alternative to the BB58!
Great review! Lorier is really in a class of its own.
Great review man. Watched this video right before putting in the purchase. Especially enjoyed that BB58 comparison since that is my most wanted watch to get in the future. Very excited for this watch to arrive.
I am so happy to hear this! I really hope you enjoy it.
Please let me know your thoughts when you get it in hand
the light looks warmer too through acrylic. great watch and thanks for the info. newfound respect
Always appreciate you giving the channel some attention, Mark. You’re absolutely right.
I have V3 Neptune and wow they are truly special 🔱👍
I just wanna look like James Bond, this watch does that better than any other watch under $1k. Nothing comes close.
You are right on point about the Lorier design features. I have the V2 Neptune great watch, great prices designed by great people. Buy one now, no regrets.
Got mine in Blue Gilt and totally agree with you there is just an emotional attachment when I put it on
That’s such a nice version, I’d love to get that on wrist. You’re right-can’t quite put it into words yet it just works from a mood perspective.
Awesome watch! I've got the blue Neptune on way and can't wait to rock it every day.
I just bought the same watch so looking forward to checking this out. I like that they made an original design but still have the vintage feel. I have a couple steinharts which are nice but they get zero points for original designs
excellent review
Excellent video. Great channel
Wow thank you so much, my friend! You made my week
How loud is the rotor? Does the noise bother you?
He is not bothered with rotor noise, he owns several watches of the same brand, in his other videos. It is the few reasons why I am not sold on the Neptune 3, rotor noise, plus the plexi glass, and aluminum insert for $499. The design is great no complains about it, the outcome overall is acceptable considering it is Made in China.
Lovely watch, I have the V2. Recently discovered Steinhart and must say I think in this price range, they are the best.
The V2 is a fantastic piece!! I’ll have to agree with you. They own that $500 point. Thanks for watching.
I have the Neptune 2. Without a doubt one on my favorite watches. Absolutely wonderful watch.
Well done! and all true. Awesome well crafted watch. I have two Hydra II's
@knife watch, out of curiosity, could you tell me the diameter of the dial versus the diameter of the black Bay 58?
They’re both about 39mm
@@KnifeWatch the diameter of the dial not the case
Great video
Rosco 0 Such a good feeling to see you stopping by the channel, Rosco. Thanks for watching!
Incredible watches...I’ve got a hydra and a Neptune. I used to require sapphire....I almost want acrylic on everything now. Also, with as many broken screws as I’ve encountered this year...I’d rather pins or pin and collar bracelets now. Nothing worse than an unusable bracelet because of seized screws. Great videos man, wish I’d found ya sooner!
Looks fantastic, respects from South Africa
What bracelet do you have on the BB58?
During this video it was from strapcode
Nice to see a tudor with male end links 👍
Thanks for the video. I am deciding between this in navy gilt vs a Baltic Aquascaphe in blue gilt. Do you have any insight on these?
I think between the two, the Baltic in blue gilt will be more beautiful. It’s a gorgeous dial-emotional and deep. For Lorier, the blue gilt won’t be as decadent yet will still be satisfying for sure as it’s just a fantastic watch in general
@@KnifeWatch Thank you. I agree. There is something special about that Baltic dial, but I also really like how thin the bezel is on the Lorier and like the story behind the folks who started it. As far as tough choices go, these are good ones to have.
J S i have the navy gilt lorier and it’s a deep blue. Super classy and IMO better than the Baltic. I had to make the same decision. It’s just timeless sporty “elegance” for $500. I have zero regrets. It’s my favorite watch and my collection ranges from $400 Seikos to my $17k Skydweller!
@@Holt333 wow that is awesome to hear! So many people have the same experience. Lorier has a way of transcending price and it’s wild. Thank you so much for watching, my friend!
Knife Watch well articulated. Perfectly said evaluation
Nice review, I purchased that exact one!
Amazing watch! Not sure I agree with what you said about sapphire as most people aren't throwing there watch around like their phone. scratches are the main reason sapphire is used. That being said I'm sure they didn't go with sapphire for a reason and isn't a deal breaker by any means.
Lovely review!! I love this watch. Do you think it's a good option for me? I'm PADI scuba Instructor.
Thank you!!!
Hi Maria! Absolutely recommend it. They also have a skin diver at Lorier I would take a look at! There is almost nothing missing from this piece and it seems to work in proportions for almost anyone. At 200m water resistance the Neptune should be a more than respectable companion on your adventures! Thanks for stopping by! Do you have any other watches you love? Would enjoy hearing from you, Maria.
@@KnifeWatch Thanks for answering so quick!. Great, It's a beautiful watch, my question was because of the acrylic crystal, I thouhgt was better saphire or mineral glass for my diving activities. I also have my eye on a Squale 1545 and a Deep Blue 40 mil... What do you think?
My actual and loved watch is a SKX 013, It was a lot cheaper when I bought it that now!!!
Any recommendatios?
Greatings from Spain!
Thanks again.
@@mariagarciagarcia5391 try looking at christopher ward c60
Be careful if you have a big wrist. Had to sell mine, too small.
Good point! I’ve got shmedium-medium sized wrists that fits most everything so your opinions for the big boys and girls is super valuable. Thanks for stopping by and watching, I appreciate your time.
It's an emotional watch! LOL. I cant decide between getting this or their Gemini Chrono in blue.
I knew all five things😒
My mini grail 🥰
The Gent they’re dropping new Lorier’s on October 10th. Hope you get your hands on one shortly. Thanks for watching, Gent. Always happy to see you stopping by
Knife Watch I got the email notification 2 hours ago saying the same thing. It’s a big spend for me. My usual price range for watches is circa £100 normally 😬
The Gent totally understand. That’s an awesome range and I’ve got some of my favorite pieces around that price. What are you wearing and what are your favorites?
Knife Watch As you can likely tell from my avatar I’m a bit of a Rotary fan. I’ve recently taking a liking to their Tank inspired range: GS05280-70, GS05283-01, GS05284/04. Bit of a fan of classic style watches. Hence why I love Lorier.
Always subjective but if the lugs were a little shorter, crown smaller and hands slimmer this would be perfection.
Hard to argue as these are valid changes.
mobile phones really do not use sapphire crystal...
Well dang, you sure convinced me 😂
Another great vid my watch reviewing amigo. Love the Lorier. Bought mine and it arrived this week and I agree with every word. I’ll be reviewing mine on my channel The ⏱👨⚕️soon. Take care and keep up the great work. Ian
Whats your wrist size?
I probably need a Lorier...
Leya Y they get my highest recommendation. They should be proud of their products. Thank you for watching, Leya!
@@KnifeWatch You definitely have convinced me to get one 👍
Leya Y would love to hear your thoughts when you get it
@@KnifeWatch Hope I can grab one successfully on 10th.
Leya Y I’ll be praying for you.
Or get both
The fact that it has a plexiglass crystal scares me away from buying it
That’s too bad
Why All these reviewers or not mentioning how bad the plexi Crystal is on a $500 watch
Many of us mention it. Some of us like it, some of us don’t. I love it.
@@KnifeWatch what’s there to like about ? It’s gonna get scratched up pretty quickly not practical at this price point. For collectors may be they gonna baby sit it, wear it for dinner etc, it’s not a watch you wear it on beach
@@tahirmehmood1670 the advantages are it will never break or crack. I’ve seen cracked Patek Philippe and Rolex watches that ruin the value of the entire watch and are dangerous with broken glass everywhere. It takes what, 60-90 seconds to clean acrylic crystals? They’ll never break ever.
This watch looks like an thousand dollars one...fantastic job
Aluminum insert, miyota movement and a plexi glass for $1000, what did he won Dave? - Overpriced China watch 🤦🏻♂️😂
@@MichaelV89 what are you talking about, it’s 499$.
The lovely design itself worth the 499$..,
I own this watch. I’ll never sell it
How do you only have 890 subscribers? What the heck is wrong with UA-cam ;-)
Amazing watch for the $
MarcraM82 say it again! So true. Thank you very much for watching.
12.5 inch thick
Not sure about the hands
Just wait until someone says that a Vostok is better 😝
iphone don't have sapphire. they are gorilla glass.
First.. 🤭
Tick Talking that is a noble accomplishment
Phist Respecktos!
Is this video scripted?
You're all over the place; droning on, and slow to the point.
I had to stop before you got to your second point.
Thanks for your feedback. I will aim to do better next time.
