Hello all, anyone out there who knows this particular watch? It is to be to good to be fake, but I dont find anything about it. I see true line watches with cross lines on the dial, but not this.

I wouldn't worry about a lack of lines on the dial, although they certainly were a signature feature of that model. Fortis apparently made several variations of that watch -- some with dial markers and some without; some with slim hands and some with thick; some with no date, a date window at 12 o'clock or 1 o'clock, and with a day/date with like yours. You just happened to find one with a bare dial.

Still...if I were to buy a watch with the model name "True Line" I would want there to be those cool lines on the dial! 😎

Wow. Thanks for this correct answer. I were just suspicious about that the dial maybe has been repainted?
If not then this version must be a kind of rare tough?

I don't think the dial has been repainted. The printed fonts seem original and correct, and there is a subtle shading under the "True Line" text that suggests the dial remains untouched. I think you simply have an uncommon version.
