Fortis F-43 Flieger Limited Edition Chronograph Alarm GMT Chronometer C.O.S.C. Dual Power Reserve Watch
The excessively long name of this reference number 703.20.92 LC05 Fortis watch pretty much says it akk. This is among the most complex and expensive Fortis watches I have ever seen. Limited to just 100 pieces the F-43 is a tour de force in its own right. Is it a good watch for you? Well that is for you to decide, but it does make for a good conversation piece.Its full name is the Fortis Mens F-43 Limited Edition Chronograph Alarm GMT Chonomster COSC Dual Power Reserve.

Crowdfunding Follow-Up No. 2 - How'd They Do?
Back in mid-February we took a look at another batch of new watches and brands that were seeking initial funding via one of the crowdfunding methods. They have all gone through their funding campaigns and now it is time to see how many of them were successful, and how many were not. There were a total of six watches that we covered last time and here is how each of them faired.Burel Class Cape Watch – Funding UnsuccessfulThe Class Cape was the hopeful new model for Burel, who was an existing brand with two models under its belt before starting this particular Indiegogo campaign.

The movement chosen for the Class Cape is the Swiss ETA 6498 hand-wind movement.

Hi there im new to these forums and im looking for some info,While clearing out my grandads house after his passing i found a omega watch which he was given when he sold his company to his partners when he retired, I noticed the strap is broken and a little ball to lock the strap in is missing, My main problem is the watch was lose in his jewelry box and ive searched high and low for some kind of document or box to go with it but to was unable to find one so im includeing these pictures. Hopefully someone can tell me if its real or not and if so where the best place to get it fixed would be if not then i just get any strap but if real id like to keep it orig rather than changeing parts, Also could someone let me know what watch it actually is, Ive seen ref to panda face 20th july limited so im confused !:)
