Fortis B42 Chrono Alarm

This is from the same dealer, who is the Singapore Authorized Repair Facility for Fortis, that I got my B42 from. Shipping was great, their responses to email superb, all around good experience.

I love my 3 hand! The only thing missing is either the rubber strap or the bracelet...will be ordering one soon.

For anybody thinking of buying a Fortis, they are very well made and wear larger than their 42mm case. The bezel sticks out from the case around 1mm on each side, so it wears very much like a 44mm watch.

Mark,

You NEED this watch.


BTW, I have ordered a number of Fortis items from Taiwan and Singapore at significant savings. Like 40% on the bracelet alone, including the extra shipping costs.

I will definitely be buying the new strap/bracelet from that site....but I just picked up a few other things , so it may be in another week or so...I'll definitely let you guys know how the transaction goes!!

Oh man, what a terrific looking watch Doc ! There is something
about blue, together with silver, or white that just works. It's a
REALLY GREAT combination. VERY sporty, but smooth at the same
time. The hands are also extra nice as well, and the sub-dials don't
overwhelm the dial either. That GMT hand is easy to see, but
very subtle too ! DEFINITELY one FANTASTIC Fortis !..Thank you
Doc, and let us know how the strap, bracelet, and other things,
work out Mark !

Tom,

Thanks, I like it too. Just FYI, that other hand is an Alarm hand not a GMT. Its normally like an $8500 watch because its a Mechanical Alarm Chrono. At this price I'm kicking myself but with just having bought the Sinn there is NO WAY I can justify this purchase. Add to that the fact that HypnoToad has commanded that Mark buy it and well.......

Oh wow, thanks for the info about that being an alarm hand ! Sorry about that !
It seems like one special kind of watch Doc. Maybe somewhere down the line YOU
will pick one up as well. However, you are right, that Hypnotoad has evidently
hypnotized Mark "this" time !

No problem. Its an unusual configuration having Alarm+Chrono and the hand does do 24 hr. Perhaps. If I had not just gotten the Sinn this would be hard to resist. The price is just jaw droppingly good.
