You are doing the right thing...while it may simply be a minor problem, it could also be indicative of something major going on.

Little update.  I though this was isolated incident, however, it's not.  We examined my buddy's Fortis more closely today.  Guess what, the day wheel on his watch is also crooked.  We realize that if the date is in single digit, it does not look that miss aligned.  However, if the date is double, then the day and date does not align up. 

I contacted the AD again to report that my buddy's watch is also out of alignment, AD checked his Fortis Date/Day he has in stock.  It appears that the new watch is also crooked.

We are still waiting to hear back from the Fortis Rep. but I'm bit dissapointed that Fortis' QC pass the watches with this issue.  Now, my buddy is bothered by the alignment issue.  crap.gif

I've never noticed this on my Marinemaster but I took a look... huh? face4.gif






If it is off is surely isn't by much. I found the perspective changed based on my viewing angle too.

Paxman - it doesn't look that bad on your watch.

Ok.  Things are looking up.

My AD contacted the Fortis Rep and this was the Fortis Rep's response to my AD:

"He can send the watch to Providence Watch Hospital.  It can be fixed quite easily and will be covered under warranty.  Let me know if you need my help with it.  Let me also know the ticket number when you send it and I'll call them directly to expedite the repair time."

Although I have the option of sending the watch in for repair, thanks to my wife (allowed me to get a better model) and the AD (who will go extra miles to keep the customers happy), I've opted to get a different model of Fortis instead.  So I'm sending my Ti back to AD. 

My AD is doing the right thing.  This is one of the reasons why I don't buy watches from grey market. 

Stay tuned and pictures of the new Fortis watch will be up soon.
