yes i somehow subscribe to this school of thought. i was tempted to get blancpain fifty fathoms in white earlier this year but decided against it....not sure if i can carry it well...

anyone checked out the white Sinn U series?

The white rubber strap makes the watch bit too "white".

Btw, will the white rubber straps turn yellow after 2yrs or so??

I'm wearing this watch to work everyday, and with constant contact diesel,dirt and oil, i can say that the strap is still 'WHITE' with no visible discoloring.

Hi Eckoric85,
That speaks a lot about the quality of the rubber strap on your Fortis.  :thumbsup:
By the way your job sounds very interesting, with constant contact with diesel, dirt and oil. Something to do with the motor race track?

Please post up new fortis pic for us to drool, for i have read your last post  :Jumping:

hehe.. nice watch, loving the lume. but i agree that the full white is abit too feminine. no offense bro.

fortis is a good watch - my friend has one and always around construction site also still good. he bought his from SS2 opposite what used to be Coffee Bean..

some of you have rich friends to buy you branded watches huh? can intro these friends? heheheh
