My first Lorier pickup!

I’m super excited!! The Pepsi configuration, with a white dial is a true grail, but black is a close second! How do y’all deal with crystal scratches, in a tad bit nervous about it!

I still need to pickup a Blackbay 58 GMT Pepsi one day. But for now this will do!

Congrats! This has become my current favorite watch, hands down (no pun intended). I have pretty much neglected the rest of my collection since I got it. There's just something about it that pictures can't get across. Don't worry about the acrylic crystal, minor scratches come out easily and then it looks brand new. I actually just pre-ordered the Astra and can't wait. Prob going to grab a Gemini on the next release as well. Nice pick up!

Love the looks of the Hyperion.

Unless specifically holding up to the light, the micro swirls aren't terribly noticable.

If you do notice them, a once a week Polywatch treatment will work.

And it'll take years and years of polishing to wear away a noticeable amount.

Wear it in health my dude!

Thanks for this advice!!

I'll also add, that some years ago I was also like many, leery of acrylic.

And after giving it a go, AND realizing that really good digital "beater" watches also use acrylic/plastic, started to actually enjoy the differences.

Do I abstain from sapphire? Nope.

But I've realized everything has trade offs, in some instances the pros outweigh the cons of acrylic, and it looks different.

Really only other enthusiasts will notice, but the look/feel of a box/tophat acrylic actually looks/reads different in the flesh. Like to the point you can tell after wearing one for awhile.

Yeah it would be cool for sure to have a 39mm day date option.

You've got a pretty good collection. I doubt you're careless with your watches. But if you do scratch up that acrylic crystal the polywatch adhesive will definitely answer your problems. There are several YouTube videos on how to apply that treatment. Easy peasy bro! Great watch choice ... I've been eye that Lorier brand. The case looks similar to my Rolex 5 digit Subby. Stay Thirsty My Man 🍻👊🏽

Yessir! And that Tudor BB 58 Pepsi GMT!! I’m not careless with my watches at all, but this will be my first non-sapphire crystal. This made me apprehensive about Lorier to begin with. But good night… their designs are so timeless and beautiful. I haven’t been able to stop eyeing Lorier!

More than an year of use (in rotation) and no complaints.
