Lorier Neptune ****Smaller wrist? Try this!**** 

This is my favorite watch. They have done an excellent job with this. Size is perfect, finishing is very good and consistent, the acrylic crystal is just the right choice for this vintage inspired diver. Dial, hands and lume are great. Overall a well built quality watch. The bracelet however is the star here. So comfortable and well made, it is better than many of the much more expensive brands out there. I enjoyed it when I received it 6 months ago and had some expectations, they just nailed it with this Neptune.

Have this exact Neptune and it's my absolute favorite, can't recommend it enough!!

I own this exact model watch and absolutely love it. For me, the super dome acrylic crystal is a feature ... one that comes with trade-offs, obviously, but that makes the watch really special in character and aesthetics. Mine seems to have come really well regulated too, as it's keeping terrific time. Very happy with this one.

Beautiful watch. Beautiful strap.Bought this model last month. The crystal does scratch easily, but easy to polish out.

Am I the only one who dislikes the little triangle on the end of the hour hand? Aside from that, I love this watch. Plexi domes are tough: see Vostoks for proof. Perfect watch size for the future trend back to "normal" sized watches, that BGW9 blue lume is sexy!

This watch is amazing. I love mine and it gets more wear than any of my others.

Lorier actually includes a screwdriver for sizing the bracelet. Nice touch!

Love that domed crystal. Really nice piece.

I have this exact model the version 2. Amazing amazing watch for the money. FOR ANYONE BITCHING ABOUT PLEXI you don’t know what you’re talking about. I too was apprehensive about it not being sapphire but: 1. This thing just does not smudge. It’s super oleophobic so you don’t have to clean the bloody crystal 10 times a day. 2. Scratches are super hard to see and I don’t baby the watch. Maybe have to use polywatch once every 6 months 3. Polywatch seriously buffs out scratches in literally 20 seconds. This isn’t the shitty mineral crystal that comes on your Seiko.

This is the SARB033's diver cousin IMHO. Not crazy about the crystal, but still want this watch.

This bracelet is very similar to the one on my new zelos swordfish. Zelos is 42 mm which is the perfect size for my 7 and a half inch wrist oh, so this one is a bit small for my liking. Thank you Rob.

We haven’t tried it because it’s got too long lug-to-lug 😉 Mini Turtle is excellent, Rado 37 mm Captain Cook «mk I» and mk II. The Rado’s a bit expensive though. The new Islander 38 I guess is the new SKX013-alternative and better fit 👍 This one looks good though. The SKX seems better for small wrists in my opinion with

That sterile caseback is a plus for me. Watches with deep stamping on their caseback end up irritating my wrist by the end of the day. My Orient Triton is guilty of that. My Lorier Hydra with sterile back, on the other hand, is very comfortable. Can't wait for their new Chrono to be released.

I love what the dome on this watch and I think it looks good on your (not small) wrist. As far as beinging gentle with watches...I have destroyed too many watches and just know that I need a WR watch with some shock resistance - plexi is easy to polish and replace though. Thank you for another great video Rob :)

Love this watch! Sold my skx007 to get it. 1 small gripe is the hands. In my opinion they could have been proportioned better. Especially the lume, as it is almost same length on hour and minute. When looking at it when dark they hour and minute length look the same, only the arrowhead on the hr hand distinguished it.

Another top class, no nonsense, excellent and highly informative review, Rob. Thank you.

I have a 6inch wrist and this watch does great, you can tell it’s “bigger” but by no means is it “big” 😂, it’s a sport watch so it looks fine, dress watches though I need a 38mm at the very most, 34-36 preferably

Sweet watch and love the comment about Nest lol. We have it and it's great!

yes very nice looking. wish more watch makers would use larger crowns like this and tudor bb.

Guess the smaller-wristed will also need to look at Long Island’s just-released own brand “SKX013-like upgrade” 38mm divers. Decent price for the specs too. Do like that plexiglass on the Lorier though!

Looks fab. I’m a fan.

The end link could've been finished better, but the bracelet does look nice. Unfortunately even with rob's 7 inch wrist 4:00 the gap between the end link and mid link is way wide

Just a really nice watch. Great piece for someone to pick up.

Stunning watch!

For smaller wrist 48mm lug lenght isn't appropriate. That lenght is what matters the most. It shud be under 44mm or even 42mm like the seiko baby turtle.

I might be in love. Wow!

On a black NATO it'd look killer

Offer in 42mm. Sapphire crystal. Exhibition caseback. Charge more.

Really torn on the Lorier Falcon or the Hamilton Khaki Field 38mm as my future daily watch.

These look great, been watching them for a while. But I think I want a Falcon instead.

You seem to be very happy when the endlinks articulate and are able to lay flat on the case back because “it’s super comfortable.” I’m gonna go out in a limb and say there is no way you’d be able to do blindly identify what type of endlink is on a watch based solely on how it feels on the wrist.

Just FYI Lorier provides a screw driver to adjust the bracelet

Nice watches, but the price is not competitive in Europe by the time you add postage and taxes. Especially as they are delivered by FedEx, which guarantees you will have to pay the import taxes and handling charges.....

Looks like Omega's Seamaster 300

I bought this watch and it is lovely. However had to sell it as not only is it small it wears smaller. On my 8 and a bit wrist it looked way too small.

hope u would do also on the upcoming lorier gemini with the dimensions,.

Nice watch

The falcon is the best

I was considering this but I want a date version. It would be nice with a colormatched date wheel a 6 'o' clock. I also don't know about the gilt handset while nothing else on the watch is gilt.

What are your thoughts on investing in a micro brand like Lorier versus spending the same amount on a Seiko or something of a brand name? I ask because as watch enthusiasts, we buy watches, enjoy them, then sell them. When you buy a micro brand at full price then a few years down the road try to sell it, it’s either very hard to sell or you take a huge hit. I know this varies from brand to brand, but do you think it’s worth investing in micro brands or spending/investing the same money in a known brand? Hope this makes sense. Thanks for the awesome vids!

The extreme dome height is the only deterrent for me, the way it distorts the dial so heavily makes it looks like a poorly designed toy. I don't mind distortion as it can be fun to play with but for a piece like that it's just not doing it for me. Pretty piece for sure though.

Hey Rob, thought I heard you say something about a Friday sale?

How is this compared to the San Martin homage of the Oris Divers Sixty five?

Hello. I m so curious of your opinion on Davosa X Agon. 😋

Saw one today on eBay for like double the price :/ totally not worth paying nearly 1K for it haha

Long lugs and something in their design threw off the scale, lays like a flat frying pan on my medium wrist, so annoying for me that I regret the purchase...otherwise it's a stunningly beautiful piece. The dial is a work of art. I'm a retro style diver fan.

48mm lug to lug is quite large in my experience.

Love it

Check out Obris Morgan. I don’t know why they don’t get as much love.

Super

but the bezel is ceramic or alluminium?

what do you use to buff the scratches out?

Not a fan of the plexi. Neither of the price. Otherwise fantastic

Nice watch, are they 399? Or 250

Which version is this? V2 or v3

At most the glass should have been sapphire.

Where is best place to purchase this at reasonable price?

Would 6.5" be too small for the lug to lug?

It’s lovely but too expensive, only a seiko movement no sapphire and only aluminium bezel. $300 is a fairer price

Rob, what is your wrist size?

ISO 6425 ?

I would pay more for a better movement...

how big is your wrist?

There is no reason why this watch should have a Plexiglas it is 2020!! dont agree with you about not banging a watch around. it is a diver ( tool watch) I love the design and very very good looking watch. Put a better crystal and bezel and this is a next classic

Which hand is the hour hand?

Click bait much don't undo good work trying to relive past wins.

1st

Plexiglass and BGW9? Hard pass
