I finally caved in...my first Fortis

[razer]

I've been lurking around the Fortis forum for who knows how long, but I finally gave in this Christmas. Here take a look, my brand new B-42 Cosmonauts Day/Date:

Please pardon my novice watch photography skills, but hopefully I'll try some more and they'll come out a little better.

Thanks to everyone here I've learnt a lot!

Excellent!! I have the Marinemaster good choice.

Any idea where I can buy a black leather strap for this beaut?

Thanks!

Very nice looking.

Hey that's a nice watch. Congrats!

I took a Luminox strap and trimmed a mm off each corner. I have the same watch in Ti and a MarineMaster and love them both. Another place to get a good black rubber strap is the watch prince. Italian rubber, as seen on a gazillion expensive brands.

Here is the link. I think you want the 20mm, or if you like a bigger band go 22mm and trim it.

Thank you all! The watch is keeping great time. I had never ever bothered to double check a watch's time. I was expecting +/- 10 seconds, but I'm really surprised it's almost bang-on! I'm so happy I got this watch. It's big, sits nicely on your wrist, and I love the dial, it's just a great looking watch.

And will this leather strap give me the same flush-with-the-case-look that the original leather strap has? The original one looks like it was made to mate the case.

Beauty mate! Enjoy...

I'm thinking of getting this:

Could you experts rate the price for me, is this about right?

Thanks!
