Hi all.  I'm Dan, a new member of the forum from the UK.  :)

I thought I'd introduce myself by showing a few pics of my latest purchase, a Fortis B42 GMT 3, which arrived on friday.  There's also few shots showing comparisons to my Netunno 3 and (soon to be sold) Seamaster.  So far I've been very impressed with the Fortis.  It's large, heavy, very well made and so far has been very accurate too!

Thanks for the friendly welcome and kind words guys!

It's taken me a couple of days to get used to how big this watch is, but I've really bonded with it now.  I was looking for a watch with real wrist presence and this has it in abundance!!  The accuracy has been well within chronometer standards so far as well (ave +1 sec per day).

I just need to find a good home for my Seamaster now. :D

Where's the "jealous" emticon? lol It's really gorgeous. Don't know how you could part with the Omega though. :(

Thanks very much! :D

It was a hard decision to part with the Omega.  Unfortunatley I couldn't really justify buying the Fortis without selling the Omega as I have already spent far too much on watches already this year! I do really like my Seamater but it has been getting less wrist time since I brought the Marcello C and I just fancied a change.
