  1. How cool is the Fortis Ducati rev counter watch, think they came some 1990s bikes? More Ducati porn for me to hunt down!

  2. Good luck with that. The last advert I can find wanted $1299. No reference whatsoever on the Fortis web site despite a section for collaborations. Andy

  4. Rare and valuable don't always go hand in hand, they were from WDW98 so really unless you were there would have no value / appeal really other than being a novelty watch, I'd pay max £150 for a minter but thats about it .. even then its not really my thing.

  5. It’s a pretty difficult watch to find, that Fortis WDW98 limited edition. I’d really love to own one.

    In the meantime, I got myself this beautiful thing, which is totally in line with my 916/998 inspirations. It arrived yesterday in the post. Very happy about this purchase.

  6. Thats cool, but shouldnt it have a crack on the glass for authenticity?

  7. No crack on my 916 odometer’s glass so far. I am touching wood, though...

    Do Fortis watches use Desmo rockers? I completely forgot to ask. Watch was produced in late 2000. The bad batch, right? o_O

  9. I have this watch that I bought from the Ducati dealers back in 98. I stumbled back across it while having a garage clear up in January. A new battery and a clean and it works just fine .

  13. Err… There is no battery on these. :eyes:

    They work with a mechanical rewinder. Bollocks, I don’t know how to say this in English, but they « recharge » mechanically with your arm movements. They stop when stored.
     
  14. Generally know as ‘automatic’ over here, Mon ami.

  15. Ah fair enough, it’s almost the same in French: « automatique »… :D
