Rolf Sachs B-42

[SydneyDan]

Yesterday my partner and I paid a visit to one of my favourite watch dealers here in Sydney. They had just started to sell the Fortis watches a few weeks ago.
I spotted this great ONE-HANDED Limited Edition B-42 desigined by Swiss Architect Rolf Sachs. Its no.73/300 made.
Well, my dealer made me an offer I couldn't refuse and I'm lucky I've got a very understanding and supportive better half who "gets" my watch obsession. (Our birthdays are soon--within three days of each other, and I bought her the Oris Miles she loves as well...).
I've always admired the Meistersinger one-handed models, but I found their styling a bit "dressy" or something like that for my tastes. The Fortis B-42 is one of my favourites and the one hand concept is quirky, but different!
Here it is...

I 'm lovin' it!!!;-)
I assume with this nightlife watch, that you are a great party animal and and a creature of the night, or would be.:-d
As I said to jmm in Pil/Mil forum (http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=82057), who bought recently the same watch, it would be a very convenient watch for many Greeks.b-)
Enjoy it.

Hi Dan
Who is the Sydney watchmaker? am I allowed to ask?

Very nice watch, but i think i would rather it without the second hand... Anyway, great watch. Congratulations!:-!

If you are considering the Sachs watch, make sure you get one with a push crown, not the screw in. It was originally made as a screw in and Fortis had to replace all the crowns on sold watches because the thread gave out within days.
