This just in from the UK a purchase off the bay, couldn't find one here in NZ.
Its a lorus from the early to mid 2000's and luckily for me is in mint unworn condition and will join my other Lorus Fusions of the late 90'S, similar styling but these later ones are even more refined in their looks and manufacture.
I can never understand why these were sold under the Lorus brand which frankly sells at a cheaper price point to their Seiko cousins when these Fusions have a high level of finish and quality compared to Seiko and much better than most of their Lorus brethren but I guess the people have spoken and they are becoming quite sought after commanding much higher prices than the more common run of the mill Lorus watches
I like this watch.
Unfortunately the lug width is about 17.6mm and I have a couple of 18mm watches that I like to trade off straps with. So this strap is a bit constricted on here
Dad bought us these coins when we were kids. We were getting them anyway but he said that he would give them to us if we learned how to swim. A good plan since we lived about 300 metres from the Atlantic. The Polara is from roughly the same time.
