·Selling a Fortis Andora MIR '97 LE, with Lemania 5100 movement. It's one of the late 90s LE, only 350 pieces were produced, this particular example is numbered 015/350. I am letting it go as I need a modern diver as daily beater, so I could time myself when my hands are wet.
Dimension (according to my caliper)
20 mm lug width
46 mm lug-to-lug
38 mm side-to-side width
14 mm thick
Dial: Tritium dial that has aged to bright green. The chronograph hands (center second, center minute, small hour) are in orange. Being an LE, it has some interesting space-themed artwork on the dial. I will leave the description to the photos.
Case: the fully bead-blasted case maintains its original shape, with some scratch marks. One thing to note is that the center crown is NOT screw down on this example (it was, but according to the previous owner, the part responsible for "screw down" feature was broken when he got the watch. Since the crown still operates normally like a non-screw-down crown, he asked his watchmaker to check the watch and removed the broken part.)
Bracelet: Suits my 17cm wrist, no extra link, should be able to fit up to 18cm. Please refer to the photos to see the full measurements.
Movement: Runs consistently at about +4spd from my experience, YMMV. The movement looks clean. Chronograph function all correctly.
Price: Pricing this is difficult, there are very few ads selling this exact reference and they were around 1.9k. Taking everything into consideration: the crown being non-screw-down, market price of various Lemania 5100 watches around that era, it being an rarely seen Fortis quirky LE, rather short bracelet, etc... I believe I've priced it fairly
I would like to ask for 1600 USD + 50% of shipping cost, happy to take PayPal G&S if you have a ton of reference, otherwise I would prefer bank wire, Transferwise, or PayPal F&F. I can ship through ParcelPro (UPS/Fedex, at full custom value), or insure with ParcelPro and ship with FedEx
As always, open to offer.
Trade Consideration: I am looking for a daily beater, hence I would be interested to trade it with a modern diver with bracelet/rubber strap.
Here are some restrictions:
lug to lug < 48mm
total thickness < 13mm
lug width = 18/20/22
must has manually winding capability
Seiko and Oris divers would be preferred
