    Would be interesting if you could get a shot of the Fortis' movement. I suspect that it could be a HMT but surely the fact that the seller stated that it had been serviced would be odd if if wasn't a genuine Fortis movement.

    It's not a real '60's Fortis John.

    Ha ha!!

    The 'Just serviced' and 'Good time keeper' was utter tosh!!

    It was gaining 15 minutes a day so I got reimbursed!!


    I can't believe how unobservant I am!! I never noticed the Fortis was off centre Also, I have four or five of those HMT watches, I didn't even notice the similarity!!


    Cheers, John

    This sort of thing sometimes happens in our overeagerness John!

    Glad you got refunded.
    Cheers,

    Glad the OP got his brass back.

    There's danger that folks sometimes see what they want to see in a fit of over-enthusiasm.
