r/lorierwatches

Hi gents,

Going through a tough time financially so I’m selling some of my watches. I’ve had multiple transactions on WatchExchange (refs will be provided upon request), I have 100% satisfaction on eBay, and have completed numerous successful transactions on Chrono24.

Price is $585. Feel free to dm me for more pictures. I can also FaceTime you to show the watch. Located in NYC if you’d like to do in person pickup

Hi everyone! I recently bought a used transitional (no quick adjust) Lorier Falcon III.

The watch is a clever homage to so many icons, and I hope it will find its place among the wider audience.

But having only seen it online before buying, I now noticed two things that keep me (mildly) dissatisfied.

1. The transition between the lugs and the bezel is like this: round bezel into a roughly octagonal shape at its base and later into the lugs. This leaves small areas that catch light in a displeasing manner.

2. The dial looks too small. There's a lot of distortion cased by the crystal, then there's some free space (visually), then there's the minute track. It leaves me with an impression that the dial is from a 32-34mm watch instead of a 36mm one. It might be a homage to Rolex Bubble Back, but it just doesn't look modern or practical.

Bonus:

3. The hands are a bit too flat. Should either be faceted (like Ulysse Nardin Big Crown) or have a slightly larger lume triangle on the hour hand (Ranchero, Railmaster) and a slightly different shape.

4. I don't understand the Speedmaster type seconds hand. Why not lollipop?

5. The lugs are too long. I guess 2-4mm of l2l could be shaved off.

I hope no one feels offended. I only wanted to provide direct and helpful critique.

It’s a great day to wear the Roosevelt! Loving how the patina is developing on this.. really a beautiful watch!
