Lorus JUST Made The Seiko We ALL Wanted!

[@amadigidigaula771]

Dude, your vid flashed up in my feed last night, I started watching it, before it was finished I’d ordered the watch with Amazon prime and it’s now on my wrist. It’s outstanding for the price and doesn’t look too giant on my small wrists.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

You are a legend my friend! Glad you enjoy it!!!!

[@ivanyallop4716]

I bought this watch last week on Amazon prime day as it had dropped to €102. Got back from holiday last night so the watch was waiting for me and I have to say I absolutely love it. Sits so well on my wrist and it really stands out.

[@vinitdabas6656]

The wife parts are the best

[@jonnytentpeg]

I'm sure they are are ooh er missus 😂

[@jonnytentpeg]

Just to caveat that with mine looking over my shoulder so are hers and I love her to bits ❤ 😀👍

[@gregandark8571]

The life is better without!

[@thesolver1970]

absolutely - would love to see the wife do a short review of the MWC's collection and see which ones she doesn't like and which ones she does, and how Mr Pagani reacts. Schuper! My brother who died a few years ago after battling drugs for half his life was a Lorus fan, while I was Seiko. Could never got on board with some of the Lorus designs, but now I've ditched Seiko and wear a lot of Ali watches and of course swiss micro and Casio and G-Shock. That Lorus without a rotating bezel is a mistake though, otherwise its is Schuper! ha ha ha

[@KeepingWatchUK]

She always calls it tbf.

[@avatarspirit57]

Had a Lorus when I started in college. It was a square-shaped quartz and still alive until now. Good to see Lorus is still pumping out nice watches until now.

[@houseofcars1973]

Have to agree with you - my father owned a Pogue in the 1970's but it got damaged beyond repair, and I've always had that on my top 5 "wants"when it comes to my watches. He then had a couple of Lorus's, but never lost his love for Seiko. Since he passed away in 2009, I now have his last Seiko, a titanium Kinetic, but I never really liked it hat much. Put it on a few different straps, and BOOM! The Milanese! Now my other half wears it all the time, but that is nice as she never met my father, so it sorts of connects them in a way. I have an SKX009 and a just added an SRPE51 to my collection, so my love for Seiko is very clear! This is the watch that might sway me towards Lorus too now! Another connection to my dad's memory. Anyway, thanks for the content, always great to watch your videos and get a proper enthusiast's perspective on decent watches for the everyman!

[@Seajay2016]

Which kinetic modell was it?

[@houseofcars1973]

@@Seajay2016 a 7n43-9069. It’s grey and gold and I just never really liked it. But changing the strap has made it look so much better.

[@JackBourke-ub9ys]

I, like MWC, have a partner who hates this watch. I'd love nothing more than to start my collection with it just to annoy her and see her face 🤣 love the videos and the insight into what makes a good watch! Why don't our partners see what we see?!?! Good luck to everyone ❤

[@juliojimenezreynoso11]

Wow! I would have never considered a Lorus as a great looking watch, but after seeing this review I am now definitely looking to get one.

[@gurbuz12345]

I own this watch, so far it got compliments from everyone including my coworkers and clients. I enjoy wearing it too, well done Seiko🎉

[@markengland2123]

My first sports watch as a kid was a Lorus and my dad owned one too! Really like this!

[@paulrobinson9355]

I had a Lorus as my first stainless steel digital back in 1981! I need to dig it out now 👍

[@ryanwerner1549]

Terrific show!!! Lorus just added to my purchase list....and my wife isn't happy!

[@iantorque]

MWC's wife's take on watches is often a good indicator of whether my missus would like the time piece as well... 😅

[@lairdofglencoe3304]

I love the Lorus titanium field watch. Similar vibes to the Seiko SNX but a hell of a lot cheaper and titanium. Will have to keep my eye on them a lot more as this one had slipped past me. Thanks for the heads up!

[@ednammansfield8553]

Couldn't agree more with your comment about the Titanium field watches from Lorus as I have three of them in my collection which I wear often. I also have the day and date stainless steel Lumibrite version which is really awesome as the lume lasts for several hours. All have 100M water resistance which is great for most people.

[@robertwoodaudio]

My Dad had a Pogue that was gifted to him when I was a kid. Unfortunately that is the only watch of his that I don't have since it went missing. When I first saw this Lorus I knew which watch you were going to compare it to. Interestingly I just wore a Pogue last week at Austin RedBar. A member has one. It was great to see it in person again.

[@ozguncalskan8493]

I just ordered the green version, I was looking for an affordable green dial for a while and this piece was one of my options and your review on it pulled the trigger 😅 I was looking at some quartz and also for some solar alternatives but for the price point 7s26 is very nice indeed, the case and the vintage vibe also speaks to me. Hope it will arrive soon 😊

[@FrightfulAccountant]

Having been on quartz for all my life, it's slightly anoying to redo the time of my black Lorus "Pogue". Mine runs fast like 15 sec a day... In Casio Quartz this like your difference when you switch between winter and summer time... But apperently this is quite normal for an entry level mechanical Seiko movement, what the people in the old days were used to. For the rest a great watch. I have the black one and I might buy the other colors as well. I probably will also keep my eyes open for one of the more expensive Seiko 5 Sports "Limited" that is like the luxury version of this watch. I discovered I really really like this style of vintage 70s sports watches. I would like it if there would be more of this vintage style watches by other brands out on the market!

[@brianmsahin]

Have to say it. I'm surprised at how good looking this watch is! Love it , and a great giveaway gift ! You're a star Russell !!

[@Watchheath]

I purchased this watch in the January sales for £89.00 😮😮 It’s awesome what a watch love it 😍

[@chair5728]

I think the large dial with the fixed and thin bezel (possible tach placement?) also lends itself to a being a case for a Pogue sequel. Still nice to see Lorus getting the recognition it deserves

[@ProfessorPesca]

There’s some really fun Loruses (Lori?) out there. Some of those knockabout field watch designs are very tempting for such a small amount of money.

[@redletterl78]

Go the full lume dial 37mm Lorus Sports Lumibrite. Looks like an 80s Hamilton field watch. 40 quid, fully stainless steel, 100m WR, Seiko quartz. I wacked a single domed sapphire crystal on mine. It’s fantastic!

[@ProfessorPesca]

@@redletterl78 What a dream, I’m contemplating getting it for my son as his first watch. At that price it doesn’t really matter if he bashes it up either does it?

[@springbay1]

Wow, that is a really nice find. Amazon somehow managed to make the red look brown in the product pictures. I would not had looked twice, if not for your video. Now it is in my cart

[@Zergriv]

That's definitely a looker! I hope they keep bringing other models similar to this one! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@sweetcorn1968]

I've had a Lorus quartz chronograph for 20 years and still wear it. Totally reliable. This looks great and would sit well in my watch box and on my wrist.

[@samhepburn7207]

Cracking review, love a Lorus! Have the lume and the chrono! So much understated value in Lorus! Great show as always! 🙂

OMG! For me it would be more than a WIN... It would be FANTASTIC! Keep up with the GOOD SHOW, MAD WATCH COLLECTOR! 😁

[@Megajav14]

thank you for the honest laughs, i daily spent a few minutes with a happy face and hopefully not a happy trigger finger with watches just like this Lorus Cheers!!!!

[@GGoim]

This video was a rollercoaster of emotions xD I didn't know whether to laugh or be angry thank you^^ Apart from the strap, I really like the watch and will probably buy it... greetings from Austria

[@3rdstone1]

Great video as usual, and great comments from the wife as usual lol. Lorus starts to feel now how Seiko was some years ago, even though this one is already around $180 in my country now, which is way more than those classic Seiko 5 used to be. Love the design, and yes it feels very much like a Pogue tribute. If there'd be a smaller version I'd be interested.

[@thomasjones2611]

My watch journey started a few years back but it was this channel that made me a true watch geek 🤓 Love the channel. P.s trampoline is an absolute banger 😆❤️🎶🎵

[@jeremyjancso]

Nice looking watch and your videos are very addictive. Great fun & honest 👍

[@gavowassy7655]

I've the same watch in blue, managed to get it from h Samuel for £90, I've mine on a marine national strap... Great vintage vibes

[@LoadedGunsMusic]

I follow on IG! Been a fan of the channel for a couple years now, a true breath of fresh air in a sometimes boring "watch-video-world". Keep it up! Best of luck to the winner of the watch!

[@estebansouki7203]

Keep up the good work 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 like always, lovely watches 🔥

[@Richspjones]

Great to see Lorus getting some love (albeit not from Mrs MWC). I’ll be extremely happy to give it a very happy home, as Lorus is absent from my collection; a crime!

[@ericksanderson6072]

Thanks for your videos MWC! Always a good time!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@lpproductions1885]

I love your videos. The presentations are exactly what I need about these watches. We are both Casio enthusiasts 😍 I always had my eyes on Lorus but I think you don't get that much information on the web about it. Glad to see you doing videos about them. Love from Germany ♥️

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Thank you my friend!!!

[@allankleidon6437]

This was my first video, from your channel, watched by me. Liked it, hence the thumbs up, yes Lorus are owned & made by Seiko. As well, yes Orient's got a lot more apparent Autonomy, than any other Seiko subsidiary. That watch definitely has some "ReHashed" previous Seiko model vibes cause, with the exception of a chrono complication? They used the Mould/Case Cutting Schematics for this new model. Personally will likely go Blue or Black but your silver dial model shows up the similarities best. Keep up the Great Work, you have a new convert!

[@appleschaaf5640]

I've been suved for a while. So glad to see how far you've come in so short of a time. Cheers!

I remember lorus was my first descent watch many moons ago. Wore it every day. Thought it was the dogs. Keep up the good work. Always look forward to the wife's thoughts . 😂😂

[@kevinskoien6165]

Hello from Chicago! MWC, I do appreciate the detail you go into each watch, and you obviously appreciate watch history! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@burak.celebi]

This definitely looks like a Pogue! As a Seiko fan, I wish Lorus would make more daring design choices, like a true testing ground for Seiko enthusiasts. While the materials might be on the lower end, the mechanisms are decent.

[@Theoneandonly_artist]

Thank you for another brilliant review, loving the humour 😂 I think your definitely on to something with the Seiko Lorus thingy 😜

[@chrisgray4785]

Another great video showcasing affordable watches! Not seen this brand for years! Used to own both a Lorus and a Pulsar when I was younger! Ordered right out the Argos catalogue using that little blue pen 😂

[@MASE247]

I really like this one! I've been watching for a bit now and I must say that I love your energy lol. The watch world can be a little boring and serious at times, but you make it a lot more fun and entertaining! :)

[@johanvandersandt8904]

Lorus always gets a big thumbs up from me! They are really nice for the price! This is an awesome little watch! They launched a few models here in South Africa as well that's super pretty!

[@vaughanh2905]

I guessed right! This is a really attractive watch. Great show as usual mate.

[@OmarSher]

Really liked your style. And its not only style and razzel dazzle. You know a lot about watches😊. It only after watching your shows i bought couple of G shocks.😮

[@Watch4Jay]

Wow it looks really good and I pinpointed the Pogue-esque looks Immediately! Cheers Russ.

[@daveclements8242]

My first analogue watch back in the 80’s was a lorus and I loved it. This would sit nicely alongside the seikos and casios that live in my box. Great review.

[@J_Benn]

Your wife's thoughts are the best thing on these videos. She's hilarious.

[@larrycooper7261]

Since I inherited my dad's hands, which look like catcher's mitts, I always appreciate a 42mm+ dial. And this one is nice looking to boot.

[@manxology]

No lume on markers. Fixed bezel. Hmmm. But, glad to know Lorus is actually Seiko! Fabulous production as always...

[@TartanJack]

Appreciate you sending me down the road to explore Lorus. Looks like a lot of watch for the money.

[@Stricko72]

Lorus an argos mainstay, had a few over the years as beaters. What my wife would say, she'd kill me if i got another watch (but if I'd won it....😅) Nice bit of detective work with the pouge case, hopefully a new release in the offing. Great reveiw, cheers.

[@drasp87]

What a lovely watch. In India we have Alba. Great looking watches, but again like the Lotus really big to appeal to the mass market. Really wish we get these watches in a more wearable side at the same prices. Would love that. Great video!

[@014fnils]

I have a Lorus "Daytona" (RT345HX9) and Im absolutely loving it. A brand often overlooked.

[@LouisGiliberto]

The best part of "What the wife said" is watching MWC's face slowly collapse as he reads Mrs. MWC's thoughts and a little bit of his soul dies. We've all been there, bro, whether it is a watch or a pet lizard we brought home, lol. But we love the little killjoys (wives) all the same.

[@markthomas9706]

Not the first Lorus I have seen and liked! Thanks for the excellent review. My wife agreed with your wife!!

[@twsbibanghorn7343]

I am so happy with my Lorus watches and they are still getting the most wrist time 😊

[@nerdbot37]

Oooh, I like it Ms. Jackson. Wait! No! You said do *not* be nasty! I’ll start again. The Seiko Pogue is a reissue that many of us have been wanting for a long time. Let’s hope this Lorus Pogue - LoPo? - is a sign that it’s on its way. Excellent review, as per usual.

[@littlefatdozer]

Keep up the good work, your videos have reignited a passion for watches I’d almost forgotten I had.

[@84Justino]

I was offered that watch. The green version. First thought was...hum it's a lorus, second one was...hum, automatic. It's been one of my favourites to use lately. Definitely has that vintage vibe. It just feels right. It's a little big but not too much.

[@GhostGuyMan]

This is the first I’m learning of Lorus. Love the watch will definitely have to check them out!

[@isoharmi]

Nice! I got a quartz Lorus as a teenager and now I have bought one used Seiko, my first and only automatic yet.

[@mr22guy]

It's a nice watch! And if the movement is indeed basically a 7S26, then Seiko mod parts can be used......

[@JL-mg9nb]

Love all your spirited content, puts a little spunk into the hobby. :)

[@nalyom99]

I'm a big vintage Seiko collector, and I really like the look of that Lorus. Keep up the great content 😊

[@horology_of_digital]

I've got a few Lorus' and really like the quality they (Seiko 😂) put out. I would love to add this one to the collection! I really hope you're right MWC about the pogue being reissued!

[@bumblebaetuna2801]

Nice review and watch Russ - I also have a bit of a sleeper Lorus (ref RH927LX9) which has definitely heavily borrowed from big bro Seiko’s design back catalogue and it’s cheap as chips! It has a Seiko Turtle style case and dial layout but with unmistakenly SKX styled hands (push pull crown at 4 o’clock too) - and it even has fully lumed hands and indices🤩. Fixed bezel (ah well) and 100m water resistance. It’s PVD coated with gilt accents and comes on a reasonable quality 20mm silicone strap too - case back even has a very close “Seiko wave style”engraving on it. Quartz movement but you can’t have everything for your 40 or so British pounds! What a bargain! It has the “slightly too big dial” thing going on also but the look is unmistakably Seiko and still smaller than the Duro. Worth checking it out👍

[@TCL_Dasler]

That on acrylic would be next-level. A lovely collection starter, no question.

[@bbwt9991]

Absolutely love it. Reminds me of a watch my dad owned!

[@darrenlivy]

I use a Lorus quartz watch for work and it's taken an absolute beating. I think you're right though, 40mm would be a better size for most people and maybe just under £100 would get more sales?

[@marko_g_korenski]

So glad you did Lorus! Great watches they have! 🥰

[@Madmaxthundrdome]

Oh what a glorious day that would be if seiko reissued the pogue 😬👍🏽. But for now Lorus is giving us a juicy pogue vibe all be it in a wonderful corner store champagne 🥂 dial. I actually like it. And the size is perfect for my 7” wrist. ❤😊👍🏽

[@jimbrown8842]

These lorus automatics came out around 3 years ago,basically an old style seiko 5 but bigger.i got a "divers style"one when they first came out and ive worn it more or less daily,very accurate and solid,well made.if you liked the old seiko 5 youl'll like these.

[@iainmantle1373]

Loving the 1970s vibe. I had a Lorus sports dive watch some years ago with a bright orange rubber strap trying to mimic an Omega Seamaster, it cost about £70 but looked like it was worth 10 times that. Lots of admiring looks & the watch didn't look bad either 😂🤣

[@jastheace425]

Great looking watch, i think lorus make some underated watches tbh for us folk that can't afford the expensive watches and enjoy collecting ⌚ thanks for sharing

[@bytemonkey3129]

Thanks for making me add Lorus on my list of watches to check out. Keep up the great work.

[@tommyselby]

I have 2 lorus watches, one which is an auto and love them, this one looks absolutely stunning!

[@TheGerbil]

Great review and there's a lot of watch for the price. And still available for £129 on the Amazon.

[@keithreed8479]

Another well priced watch from Lorus, with a stunning cushion case giving us that beautiful Pogue look.Pity about the lume but it's still a fantastic retro looking stunner 👍

[@premsubrahmanyam2994]

I like this one a lot. Hopefully Seiko reissues the Pogue in upcoming years.

[@WengKinChan]

Nice review! It’s an interesting watch and you can clearly see they have just done those little tweaks to bring it down below Seiko. I’d love to see a Pogue reissue, but I suspect Seiko will release it as a limited edition and price it at $1000.

[@24fpsverite]

Definitely a great nostalgic piece, maybe Lorus will have soon more to deliver!

[@WatchesCanBeFun]

The all green is super funky, but I’d agree that the one you show is the best. Great video

[@bursuculfioros]

I will love this beauty in my collection. I have a tiny little collection of affordable watches, don't have a Seiko being out of budget unfortunately but this beautiful Lorus (Seiko) will be cherished and loved and will complete my missing watch (Seiko/Lorus)

[@omarfarghal9536]

It looks like an amazing new watch to be added to the collection. I had the same thought as you! I think SEIKO will be reissuing too.

[@gabrielmazariegos1760]

This watch reminds me of a Caravelle watch I was intending to buy a couple of years ago. Recently I've been seeing interesting things from the "value brands" in Latin America Q&Q Superior is selling decently and are a great alternative to casio MTP line

[@hadenhobbs5178]

Wow, honestly haven’t heard of them before, but after seeing this definitely need to look their offerings more! Pepsi and a silver face is awesome!

[@stefanmiron8231]

43mm is just my size😅...all subscribed, following, and I can't believe I only just found your channel, given my obsession for watches and youtube watch searches

[@FrightfulAccountant]

I just go the black one. Normal retail price 140 EUR, but I scored a nice discount, only 80 incl shipping. At this price it's a steal. I do have to admit, if the glass was saphire, I would have been glad to pay 200 or so. You know you have to be carefull with it. If it was a 80 EUR Casio, I wouldn't mind a scratch or so, but if you have a a watch, no matter how cheap that looks like it's an expensive vintage one... You want to keep it looking nice. Size? I have small wrists and it aint that bad. Big but not too big. I think anyone with big wrists will be fine with it. Bracelet? Yeah it's cheap. Once you have it on, it looks nice though. Wearing comfort? I don't have a lot of wrist hairs, but the edges of the folded metal dig in, I need to apply a bit of vaseline to wear it all day. It was a real though one to get the excess links out as well, ened up using a small hammer and an ice pick, the regular amazon tools got bended on it. But they look nice like I said, if I was to upgrade it would be another bracelet, something in the style of the limited Seiko 5 Sports SRPL05K1 . It has to look 70s with a watch like this. Strongly recomend, even though I think they got it a little bit too cheap. There is a big price gap with the Seiko 5 Sports that is officially priced at 450 EUR and I have a feeling at Seiko they feared building and selling this Lorus as a 200 EUR watch would eat in the demand for the Seiko. But damn at 80 or even 140 EUR and you are into vintage or you have nostalgia for a by gone era, you need to have it. I think I will keep my eyes open for deals on the other colors as well.

[@carlrudkin835]

Great channel. Watch collector myself and you are probs the most fun of all the reviews. Keep up the good work.

[@desthomas7564]

Very nice watch, like the case shape but my preference would probably be the green. 😊
