    Hey man the algorithm showed me this. Pretty good vid! First time I've seen a Lorier review. Hope you keep making content. Also have a Happy New Year.

      It is on pre-order now. When it was in stock it sold out in 5 mins. If you have any questions email them and the questions are answered by the owners. Really nice couple it seems.

    Great video! Just ordered mine. Will be my first watch from a microbrand. I really wanted a vintage looking piece that could be worn daily. People love to give out about the hesalite crystal but if I'm doing anything that could damage my watches I switch to my G-Shock, no big deal.

      You won't be dissapointed. The hesalite crystal on this watch with the white dial is going to look insane in clarity. Infact I love it so much I bought the Falcon right after the Astra. Going to do a comparison video soon. Enjoy!

    Wow 36mm watch with 20mm lugs are hard to find. This is lovely.

      Yes, I forgot to include it on the video but the watch is also a strap monster. On black gator it is true vintage.

    Lorier didn't do this as a cost cutting measure, but they did it intentionally for the clarity, warmth, and vintage aesthetic. Just wanted to emphasize that, but totally understand the comfort of not worrying so much about a sapphire crystal.

    Good format! It would be better to include harsh lighting conditions and see how it looks! Maybe even just outside the house-look

      Super nice. Just never in stock like other commentors said. One the restock I ordered exactly at the time when Lorier said it would came back in stock and it sold out in 10 mins.

    A very nice design. But I wish the hands were not so flat, but beveled. That way, you would get more light play, like you get on the indices.

    • @slimwrist

      In person everything works together well. My only issue is that lollipop second hand which stick out in terms of design.

    It's a really nice looking watch, but I wouldn't buy a new watch with an acrylic crystal.

    • @ronaldnixon8226
      @ronaldnixon8226 Місяць тому +2

      You wouldn't buy a Speedmaster? A Rolex Datejust 1601, etc? If anything, hesalite is a feature for the warm look of older watches.

    • @dalegamble1173
      @dalegamble1173 Місяць тому +3

      @ronaldnixon8226 there was a time when you had no choice. Acrylic is cheap and nasty.

    • @slimwrist
      @slimwrist  Місяць тому +2

      Visually, it is great and not like the old acrylic crystals where you are able to tell right off the bat. Personal choice but I think you should check out more recent version of acrylic crystals on watches if you have not done so. When done right the clarity that it provides over even the best AR coated sapphire is not exaggerated.

    • @dalegamble1173

      @@slimwrist I am tempted. I own old watches with acrylic crystal and I haven't put any scratches on the crystals, probably because I do respect my watches , and take care , I just feel we have moved on , and would feel more confident with sapphire crystal. I enjoyed your review.

      @@dalegamble1173 100% agree, I have to agree that I am babying this watch a lot more due to the acrylic. We will see how I feel in 6 months if I get scratches where I can't buffer out, but for for now I am really enjoying the clarity. Thanks for the positive feedback.

      I think 36mm is perfect for 6.5 inch wrist. Once it starts going below that the market just isn't there for Lorier to probably produce it.

    Not s gada watch with plastic crystal. Tired of the lame "period correct material " argument. Ita junk. Put sapphire in and make it an ACTUAL gada
