r/lorierwatches

Finally got my hands on my Neptune, just in time for a trip to Crete.

It took me around a year, and I'd consumed so much content on it in the meanwhile that it didn't feel special at first, which was hard to admit as I was really looking forward to receiving it. All those macro shots and the fonts look so tiny IRL.

But after wearing it extensively for a couple of days, I am liking it more and more. It's my first diver and I find the bezel very useful (and fun). The bracelet has felt comfortable enough that I haven't changed it for a tropic yet.

I really love the style of the older models. It seemed like they came from a simpler time. Still keeps great time.

Six months of hunting for a Lorier. Tirelessly. Obsessively. You know how it is.

Then one day OfferUp. Bad lighting, dirty watch, shot from some weird angle with a flash like the seller was trying to make it look worse. Most people scrolled right past.

Not me. I knew exactly what I was looking at.
Two accounts. A little social engineering. Next thing you know $180. Done.
Full kit too. Box, signed owner’s card, all the accessories. Clean as a whistle once I got my hands on it.

I was a little skeptical about a 39mm diver at first but this thing wears perfect on my 7.5” wrist. It’s basically a bonsai dive watch. All the presence, none of the bulk.

Patience pays, boys. Let’s go!!!

I have a Lorier Falcon S3, and the O-ring has suddenly started sticking out for no apparent reason.
I’m certain the watch arrived from the factory in perfect condition, but now part of the gasket is protruding from the case back.
Could this indicate a more serious problem, or is it something my local watchmaker can easily fix?
I live in Spain and would prefer not to send the watch to the service center.
Thanks!
