Where is Fortis now?
« on: November 03, 2013, 08:27:51 AM »
Hi guys!

Its kindda hard to see fortis watches around lately.most watch shops no longer carry the brand (my survey in klang valley). I notice 2ndary market also lack of offers (or I cant get to find one la).
I would like to get gentlements view on this thing...how do u see fortis..does it retain some value b4 letting go to finance next purchase? Is fortis cause problemo should u hv to choose between them n Ball & Co?

I notice fortis like to issue limited edition model (like 2012 units) such as B-47 black etc..does it sought after?

Thank u n happy weekend!

The AD decided not to carry Fortis here few years ago. Am not sure the reasons though.
Generally, Fortis doesn't hold much value in used market even though is limited edition.
Anyway, here is the Fortis I would like to have.

Seen this model once at cortina starhill (used to be there now sincere took over) selling price is around 7k myr. Pity nowdays cant see it anymore, good honest brand. Movement are those commonly used are commonly found in alot of other brand. Its more of question whether you like the design or not. Forget about value seriosuly :)

Its a pity they are quite big for my wrist so i let go mine. That watch is my frist mechanical watch.

Having said that, I think there is an AD in Bangsar Village carrying Fortis.
Do check it out.
