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!

[@TheWatchOut]

Both awesome choices. Wear them in good health!

[@chriscon8463]

@@TheWatchOut You too! Very nice comparison, by the way!

[@TheWatchOut]

@@chriscon8463 Glad you liked it man!

[@maxregal8889]

What a fantastic review of two watches on my radar. Love your style. Subscribed.

[@TheWatchOut]

Really glad you like the video! Cheers

[@WatchesnguitarsDK]

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.

[@TheWatchOut]

Great choices. I love the 54! And glad you liked the video !

[@Ninono7878]

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.

[@TheWatchOut]

Yeah, a really nice brand with great owners. Hope you continue enjoying your watch!

[@westherm]

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.

[@limornetzer]

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.

[@TheWatchOut]

Glad you liked it brother!

[@sage9743]

I did the same comp but added the 58. Ended up with the 58 but would’ve been happy with any of them.

[@TheWatchOut]

Agreed! Can't go wrong with either choice

[@cosmodoc]

Great comparison, thank you! It confirmed my decision to keep my Neptune and not to get the BB54!

[@TheWatchOut]

I'm glad I could help! Enjoy your Neptune!

[@kickstothehead3705]

San Martin got bb54 homage for 250 or 200 on sale it has on the fly and sapphire and ceramic bezel.

[@himthatonethere1125]

They must have listened, the last newsletter update says they are working on a backwards compatible tooless, microadjust clasp for current generation of bracelets.

[@TheWatchOut]

That's awesome. Can't wait for that feature!

[@sauravsen1705]

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.

[@TheWatchOut]

Thanks! The lorier is fantastic indeed! But to be honest, the blackbays are very hard to hate.

[@sauravsen1705]

@@TheWatchOut Agree! I just think all the fawning over Tudor is a bit much. Your review however was right on the nose.

[@sp19995]

Fantastic review. Loved the overanalysis 😂

[@TheWatchOut]

Always happy to overanalyze :)

[@dipayandutta7728]

Buy a Glycine combat sub 39mm instead if you can..

[@TheWatchOut]

That's 3x the price of the Lorier :/

[@dipayandutta7728]

@@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.

[@johnniewalker9307]

it has a Miyota movement. Dont ever compare a Tudor to that trash

[@TheWatchOut]

The miyota 9 series movements are super reliable btw. Also, can you really expect Swiss made movements under 500 dollars?

[@sauravsen1705]

@@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.

[@TheWatchOut]

@@sauravsen1705 Exactly. I don't get the Swiss made snobbery either

[@Ninono7878]

You drank too much of your name mate...
