Finally...  After several days of asking for approval, the wife says "go for it but you can't spend more than $1500".   Well, after several days of looking, I decided to give  Fortis another try.  As some of you may remember, I had a B-42 Cosmonauts Chrono, which I had to sell for personal reasons, the B-42 Cosmonaut Titanium caught my eyes.  After spending several days of shopping for the lowest price, the watch finally arrived today. 

My first impression, WOW!  Fortis makes some nice watches but this watch is worth every $.  The dial is simple and easy to read and titanium makes this massive 44mm wath feels like I'm not wearing the watch at all. 

The crown is covered with black rubber and it provides nice contrast to the "gun metal" color of the watch. 

Here are some q&d pictures:

face4.gif I absolutely love that watch. It holds it's own alongside those venerable Breitlings! Good job staying under the promised price limit. You should post a Q&D of the hot engraved caseback for us.


Now all you need is the matching gauntlet!

That's so sweet in Ti. Very cool. Fortis is one of my favorite brands. Great heavy duty watches at a good price. Enjoy the new Fortis!
