 My vote is for Sinn, although I think the Fortis is a better looking watch in this particular comparison.

I've been very interested in the Fortis watches lately, and was especially torn between a Fortis Professional Chronograph, and the Sinn 103 St Sa Ar that I ended up buying from Onkel C.  One of the reasons I went with the Sinn is that it seems that Sinn packs alot more technology into their watches (please correct me if I'm worng).  I couldn't find any information about the Fortis to lead me to believe it is anything more than a good looking 7750 with a heavy build and awesome bracelet (but plain clasp)??    No anti-magnetic properties, no moisture management, no hardened surfaces, and a modest WR rating.

I'm not trying to dump on Fortis, trust me, I like them alot and plan on buying one soon, but if there is someone that can enlighten me to the reason for their premium prices, please do.  The Fortis website is very bland.
