Nanuq Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Wow, TTK's new Flieger is awfully close to this gen ... and about $2,400 cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchpot Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I think the Flieger Chronograph retails for US $1,600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doopey Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 It's nice but only 40 mm, a bit small for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerco Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 It's nice but only 40 mm, a bit small for my taste. Yep, i prefer also the larger watches, but a nice fortis like this i could let go by.... Gerco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRG Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Yep, thats right, thats way i bought one, after thinking about it.....for about 1 second....... One instinctively knows when something is right! Great watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerco Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I'd say from personal experience that this is THE most readable watch I've ever seen. Perfect for really USING the thing... "read-it-at-a-glance" is effortless, and the non-screwdown pushers get used all the time.

chrgod Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Nice to see good replicas of another great brand. The 7750 based pilot chronographs from Fortis and Tutima should be possible to replicate quite easily.. But I doubt that there would be much demand.. One minor thing that buggers me about this one is that on the gen, the hands that are used for the chrono-function are orange and the other are white... Here, they have somewhat mixed it... The running seconds are orange and the hour-chrono hand is white. But, what the heck.. That can be fixed! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwg777 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Absolutely beautiful. I was saving up for a geunine Fortis, but heck, this pic is so nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerco Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Actually... the three hands used for timing on Neil's are orange, as on the gen. These are the central seconds, and the two subdials at 12:00 and 6:00. At 9:00 position is the running seconds, which should be white. On my gen the hour and minutes hands and the arabic numerals are noticeably green... maybe Neil's photo just washed that out? (I won't mention the lack of DAY ... the date looks pretty good) We could ask Neil, or wait until my fortis has arrides at his new home.... and about the lack of day.....I don't mind.... In dutch: Mon is Maan Tue is Dins Wed is Woens Thur is Donder Fri is Vrij Sat is Zat Sun is Zon So there isn't enough place on the dial....
