Thanks for sharing. I've heard the Harwood story before, but never about the Fortis connection. The watch in the photo looks pretty awesome.

Wait, I thought that Rolex invented the watch.

Not only the watch, but the internet, written language, and the concept of time itself... Just so they could sell more spots on the waitlists.
