My favorite channel!!! This has been the number one watch on my radar...I’ve gone six months without purchasing a watch... six months without sex would’ve been easier! This is the one I’m going to get Back in the game with! Thanks for a great/fun review... as always!
Great review. Beautiful watch. Very original for a homage vintage style. I like that it's not a direct copy of any watch but draws inspiration from 50s 60s heavyweight divers like Rolex, Tudor, Blancpain and Omega. Everything is right about this watch In terms of dimensions. Acrylic glass and aluminium bezel is perfect for the style. If you are a fan of vintage divers from the 50s 60s but you can't afford the price tag and difficulty finding this is perfect. I prefer the gilt version though because it gives the markers more dimension and pop. Almost like applied. Also, acrylic gives a nautical feel and warmth you don't get from sapphire.
I bought the Lorier Hydra SII and well it is so good that the rest of the 12 watches that I own have become quite superfluous, seriously. Lorier Watches ROCK!
I picked up a black/gilt back in June and it's my favorite watch now. I don't like oversized, overstated watches but I love classic styles in great quality. In person, the gold/gilt is SO NICE. It's gorgeous, you can wear it in nearly every situation. Version 3 hugs the wrist so well and is very low profile compared to v2. If classic dive watches are your thing then you can't go wrong.
Too flat at its base like a frying pan, gaps and is awkward as is lays on the wrist. I have this Neptune and find this design flaw annoying (9:29 on vid) on this otherwise very cool piece.
You have very good taste in watches. Lorier designs give me hope that the hobby won’t be taken over by homage collectors. 👍🏻👍🏼 for acrylic and other retro materials. Is that a new bezel for your pawnshop Fortis?
Too small for big wrists and the clasp pops open when you bend your wrist. I bought it and sold it after I got it. Great watch bit my fault for the size issue.
Lay's Flat like a frying pan on the wrist! I have the Neptune and it's base gaps and is awkward on the wrist. It shows on this vid 9:29. It's a very cool looking piece, but this contour design flaw is annoying, thus getting very little wrist time for me.
What do you get when you mix Rolex vintage sub dial with Omega Seamaster 300 hands, case and bezel, throw in Tudor black bay crown... no, no, not a Frankenstein, a Lorier Neptune!
@@scottrockett6382 The point is you're no diver if you're asking questions like that. The last thing a diver wants is to struggle to manipulate a tiny crown or bezel while wearing a diving suit and gloves. Ever heard the expression pushing s*** up hill?
@@scottrockett6382 yes it does. What are you talking about? That’s like saying the back end of a hammer doesn’t look right it serves a purpose. And it was just explained to you

The Lorier brand really make a great watch. This model is wonderful. Fun video, as always.
Thanks for a great review. You just cost me $499 tho. Looking forward to recieving it and seeing it in the flesh. 😀👍
Just ordered my black/gilt version, this actually looks like a viable alternative to BB58. Also, that Fortis! Stunning!
How much?
@@randsp3c709 sorry for late reply, I paid $730 Australian delivered. Had it for a week now, and it is good.

Beautiful watch. Great review. Loved your ‘Late Night’ episode when Gaga was a no show. So I loved the opening of this one.
Avg. Joe Watch Reviews Thanks!
It is a beautiful watch. There's always the San Martin variant at 1/2 the price. Tough choice, different movements.
Everyone gives high praise to the San Martin, should definitely consider picking one up
Your comment sounds like Haiku
Didn't know there was a SanMartin version what's it called ?
Such a classic looking dive watch. Love it.. ordered one 😎🔱
The gilt on black is just so nice though.... To me it completes the retro look on it
There is no such thing as quitting watches 😝
This is a very nice watch though!
Very true! I’ll be back asap!
Hail Hydra! In blue especially. Love that watch.
You have very good taste in watches. Lorier designs give me hope that the hobby won’t be taken over by homage collectors. 👍🏻👍🏼 for acrylic and other retro materials. Is that a new bezel for your pawnshop Fortis?
Yes. I found a late 60’s era dive watch and switched out the bezel, since i cant find an original. It will do for now!
Watch Me Go Broke - It looks good.
I haven’t bought a watch since I got my gen 2😂
Like the Neptune size but I like the look of the Hydra dial and markers better.
The new hydra is going to be super cool
Too small for big wrists and the clasp pops open when you bend your wrist. I bought it and sold it after I got it. Great watch bit my fault for the size issue.
Guess it is an issue with the 3rd series clasp. I ordered one for replacing my 2nd series one and it hangs difficultly and pops up easily...
I love this watch. But don’t have the cash to buy it new. Only hope is to pick up second hand
Me too
Best color set up in my opinion
Requesting Seiko SPB151 and SPB143 review and thank you!🤑

I can't get over the length of his curtains, they just go on and on.....
If you like vintage style divers check out Christopher Ward’s new super compressor. It’s super cool

Texas resident? Great review 👍. White falcon on order ❤️
I saw the sticker on the windshield too 🤣
@@mariog7213 San Antonio here!
Jim L Houston
@@mariog7213 ah the fam is heading there for Texas Ren Faire next week!👍
Stunning watch! I can think of only 2 things to make it better , a nicer case back ( Christopher Ward ) and a ETA movement.
Wow, amazing watch. However quitting? No way, this hobby addiction is real.
True! I’ll be back asap!
Yup. I thought I had stopped. Now I’m selling three to fund one 🤣🤣
Awww come on ... you can always use Just one more watch ... 😏
Two amazing watches. I have an original black hydra, and am thinking about a ver 3 Neptune
What was the name of the watch straps you mentioned ? Morris ?
The reason you don't see fingers prints is your wearing gloves 😂
Mora
@@watchmegobroke4365 Not familiar with this word ? MORA .
Sorry you can't bad mouth saphire crystals over mineral lol 😂
Bracelet articulation porn. Mike Tyson peekaboo flex on the vintage Fortis!!
Acrylic. The quest continues.
Crown is comically large. Otherwise, nice design.
It's a tool watch and a diver at that, not a dress watch.
@@AndreAndre-yd5gw Your point?

It doesn’t look right. That’s the point.
