I couldn't resist the 60% discount they were offering on their current inventory of Fortis watches so I thought this would be a nice addition to the collection. With a rating of 20ATM I now have a "Put it on and forget it" GMT. This is by no means replacing my Navitimer World but it will certainly fill a void and will make the perfect vacation watch.


Fortis B-42 Flieger Chronograph GMT
The picture doesn't do it justice the hands are actually a very nice blue

At 42mm I find it to be a very comfortable fit

Yeah I saw that : I was just surmising as to the actual price. 60% off a £100K watch leaves you with a £40K bill which still wouldn't be reasonable, but I'm pretty sure 60% off a Fortis is going to be truly excellent value for money. :thumbsup: Nice going Jerome.

Driver8, my deal was allot more reasonable than the 60% off 100K (then again depending on the size of ones wallets). With the discount the watch came in a few dollars shy of $2K Canadian which happens to be a good deal since I've seen them on the used market for close to or a bit more.

Well done, Jerome, it looks great. I assume the movement is some 7750 variant, so it seems like exceptional value as well.
