Quick and dirty pics, my ar**.
Once again your usual high standards, and some very nice looking watches.
I have to say that that is the first "Art Edition" Fortis that doesn't look too bad, most of them before have been decidedly odd.
Cheers

Alistair,
I have always loved the Stratoliner. In fact, I'm always on the lookout for one with L5100 movement.
In addition this MarineMaster is outstanding as well. (You know that I am stuck in the past, LOL)

NIce pics, as usual, but...to be honest, prefer the former models...actually, do you know if they still make the "FORTIS B-42
OFFICIAL COSMONAUTS CHRONOGRAPH GMT" (That is the short name)
...and by the way, is that true what I have heard about who is the final owner of Fortis?

Shoulda said Scott, my watchmaker had a NOS one with black dial for nearly 6 momths, he sold it last week! 
I also sold one of the val. 72 yellow ones to a Forum meber about 4 years ago... Hi Angus!

Ooh, more please, fearless leader.
One thing though, I for one am not a fan of day function on chronos - any besides the 24-hr that DON'T have it? |

Dave, I don't have all of the models yet just the very new ones, I will have the other ones available to me and i think there are a couple without a 'Day'.
I will of course mention this error to Fortis and how they have missed an Antipodean trick!  |

No worries mate, you like what you like and seeing as your tastes are pretty good in my opinion all is valid. Have a look at the other shots I've posted and make as many comments as you like.....

Have you got some more shots of the rubber straps on the CF faced watches (Fortis B-42_Chrono_Black_638.28.71.K, Fortis B-42-black-647.28.71.K)?
I really like them but have never been sure of the Fortis rubber straps with the shots that I've seen. It looks too thin for the watch for some reason like the lugs should be further apart....does it taper to the clasp?
