Sold the Falcon for the Astra (NWA soon!)
After falling in love with what I consider to be one of the most beautiful watches on the market at the moment, the Lorier Astra, I managed to sell my Falcon for a decent price to finance the "upgrade".
I'll certainly miss the Falcon. It is a gorgeous and versatile watch, but my favourite thing about it was the case and the wearing experience, which is identical to the Astra.
I have pre-ordered the Astra and have been told by Lauren that it should arrive this week or next, so I am obsessively checking my emails several times a day.
Super excited! ✨
Which one do you prefer?

Both are stunning but for me it would be the Falcon for no other reason but I prefer the dial layout more. Congrats on your purchase 👍

The falcon does have a beautiful dial!
would have made a great duo

Yes! I would have loved to keep the falcon as well but couldnt afford it 😄
Let me count the ways that I prefer the Astra: lighter dial with subtle tonality, date implemented with symmetry, losing the 3-6-9 thing for elegant stick indices, dauphine hands, lollipop seconds hand, and a jubille bracelet. I'm not hot on the red text date wheel characters though.

See I absolutely love the roulette date wheel!

Hit the nail right on the head! But also the polished bezel, the crosshair and that insane lume action 😍 it all works together so cohesively
The Astra and the Falcon do wear the same however I find the Astra bracelet just a tad bit more comfortable. You will absolutely love it when you get it! Congratulations 😀

I have a bit of a problem 😅
I sold off most my collection last year and picked up a Neptune to try. I was hooked. Lorier nails all the right details on their watches!

Beautiful! 😍 all of them are so special!

Oh yeah, it's odds and evens color scheme. That makes more sense.

Just a fun way to make the date wheel more interesting.
White face for sure.
I bought the Cosmic Blue Astra and love it. Absolutely great little watch and will definitely be in my collection for a long time
Astra has character.
