Lorier Falcon has won my personal big bracket for the best watch for me under 500. Sadly, they are out of production. But my choice is clear here, right?

I think this round will be auto-adcance for the Lorier 😉

The Falcon III is out for pre-order, only one colourway though

They have changed the design and made it very explorer like. Think it's a design downgrade. Just personal opinion

Yeah I agree, I very much prefer the version II over the III. Maybe the IV will be something else again, Falcon (and Hydra) seem to be their more experimental design

neither (should be a choice)

Then don't vote, easy 🤷‍♂️

Is this intentionally a Goofus and Gallant pairing, or is that just my perception?

·

I picked 32 of my watches, the pairing is 100 % random

Lorier. Just need to change the crystal if it was mine.

Agreed, acrylic isn't appropriate for the scratchmaster 😉

Lorier....it is indeed a thing of great beauty.

·

Lorier, but I would have voted for the Aquatico if the crowns had been at 2 & 4, rather than 10 & 3.

·

I have a soft spot for Hong Kong, so even though the Lorier is more visually to my taste, the HK is a bit different.

Yeah 2 & 4 is better on the eyes. 10 & 3 looks like the Seamasters' helium escape valve

I agree, it's not a watch you easily confuse with another one 😀

·

The Lorier is gorgeous as is so that's my pick.

Move the crowns on the Aquatico to 2 & 4 or 3 & 9 and remove 'Diver' from the dial and I would have picked it

·

Anything from Lorier tickles my fancy.

Lorier, because 36.
