Fortis Flipper

[Broker]

I picked this up a week or so ago from a guy. I like the watch. The changing of the bracelets is weird but I can understand the appeal to some. I just don't have the same appeal because finding the right strap for a thin arm is important to me. It's very comfortable but it feels a bit plasticy to me. I'll keep it though.

[Seriously]

Weird, not seen that one before !

Is it quartz or mechanical?

[Broker]

Quartz. The face/movement pops out of the watch band. I would show you but I have that nato on it and it is a bear to get out.

[Seriously]

I like Fortis, was gonna buy one last year , but I think I was put off by mineral front ? (not on that model, the one I was looking at)

I had some timing issues with it and I brought it to my local watchmaker to be regulated. He had never heard of Fortis and when I came back to pick it up he said "This is a great watch". I was so happy. Because the week before he bashed the crud out of my Breitlings.

Do they feel sturdy? I like the easily changeable design.

No, not really. The actual movement feels fine but the straps feel very flimsy. But I still like the watch a lot.
