Fortis B-47 Calculator Watch Has Amusingly Busy Dial
There is something comical about just how busy Fortis made this B-47 Calculator watch. Even the name is silly. When you hear the term "calculator watch" you immediately think of something digital quartz, and Japanese. I've had calculator watches when I was a kid. I loved those. I wouldn't wear them today as I am a grown up, and I don't know if I would wear this comically designed watch either. With enough stuff going on to make a weak-minded person tremble. "I just wanted to know what time it was.The fact that the 47mm wide steel case frames what is in actuality a tiny dial for the time is even more funny/cute to me.

I have ordered an Royal Oak 15400 black dial which should be in my hands next week. Very excited. This will be my first time in this level having been wearing Rolex and Panerai for the last years. Looking forward to getting leather and rubber straps going soon also.Stay tuned.

Paper box

So... now with the 5905
Where does the 5980 stand? I think this was the reason they discontinued the 5980. What does the future hold for this classic first in house chrono? Steel watches have hold up their value in the past. Or too many floating around?What do you guys think?
