Thanks for this great art...Hi there, how are you? <br /><br />Thanks for this great article. Here's a twist for you :)<br /><br />I recently bought a 1968 (at least thats what it says on inside of the case) Marine Master. It actually has lighter, white + sandy colors on the dial, which I guess could just be faded. <br /><br />All the details in your article point to my watch being authentic -but there is one detail on my watch which is not addressed, and I only noticed after I bought it.<br /><br />My watch has circular hour markers and does indeed say DEPTH IN FEET on the face, however DEPTH is spelled wrong - it says DEPH IN FEET with no T.<br /><br />Have you ever come across this?<br /><br />Thanks very much!tha jim chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03881594924715476708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4401812086988139782.post-69618114367903893612022-01-09T11:36:39.970-08:002022-01-09T11:36:39.970-08:00thanks!

As you mentioned these combination exist, can u tell if it is genuine based on marking on the movement? It has a fortis castle mark engraved with yellow line on the movement. Below the castle mark, it's written TWENTY-FIVE 25 JEWELS SWISS MADE. Do you think it is genuine?

It also has 2 numbers. 3528 and 6237.<br />The writing is very faint and hard to read and quite small. Does this sound correct? The dial looks right.

Frankly, when I was buying this watch some years ago, I thought that it was just an edition for the scandinavian market.

It is certainly not one of the 90-years limited edition watches. The conclusion must be that these new ”waterproop” are replicas / fakes. The spelling error is probably just a stupid – but very fun – mistake ;-)Large Vintage Watcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900064301795179175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4401812086988139782.post-12034710367290717572015-12-27T15:03:39.749-08:002015-12-27T15:03:39.749-08:00Hi, very nice post about the marinemaster, but you...Hi, very nice post about the marinemaster, but you left me with an uncertainty in you last sentence. I personally owned the waterproop version. I colltect watches for a long time and after this article I am not sure if this was a replica, a heritage watch, a reedition or just a fake. I personally can not imagine and I saw a lot of fakes, that this was one. Why making a fake wath with an writen mistake made on purpose? Is it not possible, that it was just done to avoid people to go swim with this watch as it was not waterproof at all? And why doing such an effort to create a fake watch with such a detailed precision - ETA movement, rotating bezel, all the engraving and then this "stupid " waterproop mistake. are you sure, Fortis has not produced this as a heritage line? Would like to know your opinion on that. <br />watchporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474040653045244805noreply@blogger.com
