    As far as I'm concerned you can't beat the warmth and distortion that plexiglass gives you. The Neptune is a beautiful tool watch. I've just ordered the Neptune 3 blue dial and can't wait to recieve it. Their website is really slick and their sales system is a joy to use. Great review.

    One thing I really like about Lorier as a brand is that their logo doesn't scream "micro brand". It's just a well designed logo/font that will age gracefully with the brand as it (hopefully) grows and flourishes.

    Have to say, this watch and the acrylic crystal really have exceeded my expectations. I held off buying one until the second re-stock of the third generation. I was always hesitant about the crystal. The crystal is gorgeous. It looks flat out better than a sapphire without question. It’s been described as a warm look and it is a fitting description. And the few scratches on the crystal were gone in a minute with polywatch. If I have one complaint it’s the closing of the clasp. I cannot get it to close quickly and reliably unless it’s set on the last micro adjust hole.

    People complain about the crystal but not on a Speedy Pro.... I think the plexi crystal gives the watch a lot of soul. the hands and dial are executed perfectly and nice lume. Way better than Baltic Aquascaphe which is a far more expensive watch.

    He is not bothered with rotor noise, he owns several watches of the same brand, in his other videos. It is the few reasons why I am not sold on the Neptune 3, rotor noise, plus the plexi glass, and aluminum insert for $499. The design is great no complains about it, the outcome overall is acceptable considering it is Made in China.

There is almost nothing missing from this piece and it seems to work in proportions for almost anyone. At 200m water resistance the Neptune should be a more than respectable companion on your adventures! Thanks for stopping by! Do you have any other watches you love?
