How about some specifics? And always consider the source...;)


The stories were in the Fortis Forum on "another WIS site." :)  One was about the replacement of a B-42 screw-down crown with a push-pull crown, and another was about QC issues with a luminous marker.  A third story, on a different site, was about a watchmaker who couldn't get Fortis to sell him a part.  This watchmaker had purchased parts from Fortis before, then he hit a brick wall.  There were other stories, but those are the first few I remember.

Fortis makes some beautiful timepieces, I just want to be very careful with my limited WIS dollars, as their prices are on the high end of my WIS budget.
