After recently buying a rather pricey (but utterly fantastic) Skyquest from the great folks at Monta, just about 10 minutes down the road from me in St. Louis, tough choices had to made to juggle finances (*watch fanatic, but not a wealthy man*).  To that end, I’m offering this Astor+Banks Fortitude Pro, as well as Lorier Hydra III and Scurfa Diver One Titanium (post coming up). I’m the original owner of this Astor+Banks Fortitude Pro, having bought directly from A+B last month.  It’s in like-new condition, and I can't see any scuffs or scratches anywhere. I just wore it twice, before making the decision to roll with the Monta Skyquest and then shaking up my tiny rotation of watches. **$585** via PayPal F&F, shipped USPS in CONUS. Shipping from St. Louis. **No trades please**. Sale includes full kit with very nice leather watch wallet and tool. The Astor+Banks product page is informative (and I'm lazy), so I'll just copy & paste below. The only things I'll add are: 1) those blued hands & indices are something to behold, and just can't be captured in photos, or at least my less-than-stellar photos), and 2) as advertised, the accuracy was within +/-10 spd, but it was slightly slow at -5 spd, so I had the in-house watchmaker at Monta tighten it up to +1 / +2 spd (although I haven't worn the watch or checked it this our since then). Anyway.....bottom line, this is an outstanding and great value watch, and looks mighty sharp, as well! ***From Astor & Banks website:*** *Our updated Fortitude Pro is finally here. What's new? The new Pro's now have the same side profile as the Lite. This allows the watch to sit perfectly on the wrist. The other update is that we have hardened the steel to HV1200 for added scratch resistance. Inspired by traditional Officers watches, the Fortitude is a great everyday watch with the versatility to go from formal to casual any day of the week. Things to love are the size at only 38.5mm, the heated blued hands on certain models and our extremely comfortable bracelet with the perfect taper from 20mm down to 16mm at the buckle.* *Along with 660ft of water resistance, you will also get an anti-magnetic feature allowing your watch to withstand 20,000A/m of magnetism without affecting your timekeeping.*  *What's included?* * *Watch Tool* * *Single watch wallet made from beautiful Horween Leather* *Silver Dial with blued steel hands* ***Technical Information*** * ***Case material:*** *Brushed and polished 316L Stainless Steel with HV1200 scratch resistant coating, Viton gaskets and a screw down crown*  * ***Anti-Magnetic:*** *Rated to 20,000A/m (ISO 764 requires 4,800 A/m)* * ***Crystal:*** *Flat Sapphire crystal with AR coating on the underside* * ***Dimension:*** *38.5mm Case with drilled lug holes, \~11.9mm high including crystal, 45.5mm lug to lug, 20mm lug width* * ***Movement:*** *Miyota 9015 Adjusted in house (+-10), Power reserve: 42 Hours with automatic and manual winding* * ***Water resistance:*** *660Feet / 20ATM* * ***Dial:*** *Multiple colors available* * ***Bracelet/Strap:*** *316L Stainless Steel bracelet (20mmx16mm) with polished chamfers on the underside of the links for added comfort.
