I am a big fan of Fortis, the B42 Mariemaster was in my group of great watches, sold it though and have been looking for another, but they don't come up in white very often
Another Fortis I would like to have a try of is the square
Arrived yesterday. To be honest, after a long, circuitous route, I am back to the name I have to admit is my favourite. (Sort of surprised myself at that, but after perhaps 8 years of tarting about with watches, Fortis keep cropping back up and have never done anything but make me happy to own).
Anyway, lots more to say on that if you are interested - but for now, some piccies:

I liked this one so much I bought it, sold it, and then bought it back from the guy I sold it to.
While it was gone, I tried to assuage my sorrow by buying a Kosmonaut - a great watch in its own right.
Fortis makes a damned nice product - I may pick up one of the 5100 powered chronos someday.
Nice Fortises.
My 1st Fortis
Is the one in the 1st post the Titanium model?
What's the collective noun for Fortis?
fortae?
Anyway here are my Fortisssss
@gorrie - yes, Titanium. Of the B-42 range, if they say Cosmonaut on the dial, they are the Ti variant. They do a SS version of the same
Thanks.... It was the black crown that made me wonder.
It's cacoocachoo rubber coated. It's one of my fave little touches to the watch
Great pics,sadly I havent got one.Well not yetl....nice thread
Nice watches, all!
I regret not holding on to mine.

I've owned my B42 from new and bought a few others over the years but flipped them. Fortis make great watches.
Sold this a while ago - it had more positive comments from others than any watch I've ever had:
Tried this for a while - liked the size and clarity but not the movement:
Still have this - great functionality, great style, very wearable in Ti:
Here's my B-42. Cracking watches. They ooze quality in a tough, precision engineered way.
This one's currently on SC.
Big Fortis fan here, and I really want to try the Spacematic.
Love the white dialled B42 Marine Master but strangely bought one some years back and it was never a daily wearer.
