tgchrono2 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 i have seen that no dealer carries reps of FORTIS watches http://www.fortis-watches.com . Aren't any popular in watch enthusiasts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fischyyy Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 The rep makers tend to go towards high end brands, as most people buying reps could just afford gen Fortis watches. Plus, in my opinion, the Fortis designs are not original but ripped from more expensive Omega, Rolex and Tag Heuer watches. If you are already buying a rep you can just buy the original design which in gen is much more expensive than the Fortis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikellem Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Fortis does make some $1000 watches. I am sure you can find some lower quality reps if you contact one of our Dealers Narikaa. It may take some time, but he is the only one I know who could source it for you when he goes on a buying spree.. Send him a PM! MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiesn089 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 A friend of mine owns a gen Fortis chronograph. Qualitywise, from what I could tell by handling it for a few minutes, it's on par with some of the higher end Swatch brands, Hamilton etc. or even some of the previous collections Omegas (non in-house movements). They use ETA movements (Valjoux 7750 in his case), so they should be quite sturdy, nothing special however. I personally wouldn't buy one, but you should be able to get them in the $1000 area used, so no real reason to get a rep imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
