Fortis?

Anyone out there own a Fortis? Looking into one I really like. Thoughts or impressions? Reliability? Pics?

Thanks!!

I don’t own fortis but I’ve heard good things and I really like some of their designs. Not that fortis is German made, but in the same vein, I’d look into Sinn. I love their utilitarian use and I love my U50. But I bet fortis is a great watch.

I owned a Fortis Square chrono for a coupe years. It ran fine with a very easy to read dial. Fortis has some great looking newly released GMTs & chronographs w/ 12 hour rotating bezels.

I also owned & still have a Sinn 757 UTC which has more features and higher water resistance. Decided to sell the Fortis and put the funds towards a Blue Pelagos.

I’ve got a Fortis B42 and I couldn’t be happier....
Great watch and I believe one of the underrated watch companies.

This is a fantastic watch. Looks awesome on you. Would love to see a lume pic.
Thanks for sharing

As far as my contribution, no Fortis in my collection but wouldn’t hesitate to buy one.

Thanks everyone. I really like many of their designs. Dan, I have been looking into Sinn as well, and while I like many of them, I haven't had one quite grab me -- yet.
