My Lorier Experience as a UK Buyer

I can only assume that majority of watch enthusiasts have either seen or heard of the brand Known as Lorier and today I wanted to get into what might be my very first review of a time piece or at least my experience purchasing from them.

Over the past few months on my daily YouTube endeavours I was introduced to this watch brand by not only Max but The Urban Gentry as well, This sparked quite an obsessive interest which ended up in me pulling the trigger on the Lorier Gemini White.

Upon tearing the fed ex packaging apart like a child at Christmas I was greeted by a gorgeous viridian green box and unlike before I carefully separated the two halves with the utmost care. 

Accompanied with the watch was a lovely micro suede watch pouch as well as a Screwdriver for bracelet adjustment and a Tube of Polywatch paired with a polishing cloth. 

The watch itself sports the Seagull ST19 mechanical hand wound Chronograph movement, A Bi-Directional Bezel and is water resistant to 50 meters however, I would recommend going onto their website to review their manual for care as it provides more of an explanation to how resilient the watch is in terms of general wear and tear. 

Once adjusted the watch rested upon my wrist as if it were fate that brought us together. An absolute must for my collection as someone who adores Microbrands.

My only miniscule criticism would be that at times it can be relatively hard to grip the bezel to turn.

However finishing on a high note the shear quality of this watch is breath taking and I encourage you all to have a ponder. 

The Watch is listed at $499 and is $519 with Postage this took the total price in GBP to £389.16 i'm still awaiting to be charged my import tax but it should roughly be in the £80 - £90 area It also only took a measly two days to arrive from New York, USA. 

(Apologies if I have left out any crucial details this my first ever online review of a time piece) 

Thank you to all who take the time to read :)

It's a beautiful watch for sure, I just couldn't stomach that import fee. I thought you did a really good job with the review as well.
