I'm in the Fortis camp. I had a chance to fondle one in the carribean. Very substantial watch. Of course, it's apples to oranges, the one I was looking at was a chrono with a 7750 in it and the price tag was around $1900. I loved it. I would have walked out of there with it, but the salesman wouldn't budge on the price. They had a really cool soft case that you could buy for an extra $300. In the case was a leather strap and changing tools to get the steel bracelet off. I offered the guy $1700 for the watch and the case. He wouldn't go for it. He countered with $2100 for the watch and case. We walked. Ahh, the one that got away!
