Fortis Gold Watch, 2 IH and 4 Ringer bullet

[lostlake88]

Found these today. I have been on an Indian head streak lately . Eyeballed the Fortis watch on a fairly steep hillside, seems to have a gold band on it (very heavy and shiny) . Further research tells me this would have been an expensive watch to buy, I am sure the owner was bummed to loose it. The bullet has 4 rings, never seen one of these before Thanks for looking.

To bad the watch is toasted... as they always seem to be. I'd love to see how one with a real kicka$$ water resistance would hold up in the ground.

Ok, and if that happens I'll just bill you and you can sell your Goldmaxx and pay me the other 2k in cash. Deal?

Dug up a Timex selfwinder in the late 70's in Vancouver. Shook it and the watch did what was intended to do, just kept on ticking.

Some watches these days are good to 2000m so I would hope they'd last a fairly long time. It's the dressy watches that seem to be found the most and are smoked.

My diggin but also dug a Timex (I think) Was just a surface find probably recently lost. He wore it for quite a while.

Umm. That watch would have sold for THOUSANDS.


You need to do some research on that one. If it is REAL, I would almost GUARANTEE it is solid 18k...

I have a modern titanium navigator from them and I paid 1000.00 for it..

The strap looks like the real deal but the case is not precious metal would they have used a steel case

It's not uncommon to mix gold and steel even on better quality watches.

The back cover is probably stainless steel. My late father was a p/t watch repairer, saw many of similar backs. GREAT find !!!
