Yep I am winner too. Had a great conversation with the scammers.
They did the same to me. Still trying to get my info coming across as though they are THe Urban Gent even after I called them out.
I think it will be better if you announce the winner's name in this comment or add a youtube community comment so scammers can not come up with new ideas to scam people more.
OMG - I was trying to figure out if it was real. I sent in a message through Gentry’s Facebook and IG to ask. Glad to know and sad to know too. 🙁. Thank you for posting.
Lol, I thought I won. But thank you none the less for the heads up
"I'm trying to save [...] and not buy every single watch I want... which is difficult."
The story of my life since I started collecting watches.
Ditto. Add in quality pocket knives and it gets really hard to be a responsible adult!
It would be easier if this man didn't make these videos...but he did introduce me to my now favorite watch in my very small collection. So I guess I'll keep watching...
@@danielbaker8637 Hah! I hear you.. Add some vintage zippos in bronze, brass or Copper and it gets even worse. And i dont even smoke.. 🤦🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️
Yeah, ’trying’ is the important word here.
I feel you.
“It’s amazing what 2mm does right ?” There needs to be a T shirt 😀. Good luck to all those entering , beautiful and generous giveaway
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you, good luck to you too!
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry Hi TGV! I've recieved a message above saying I'm a winner but I think quite a few other people have by the looks of it, is this a scam?
@@jackmills8673 I think everyone did - including me. It seems to have been deleted now. I hope it doesn’t effect our chances!
Love the way that this dial transitions and is able to catch the light! So distinct and yet also so subtle
Im wondering why Fortis is so underrated with this long and interesting history. Neverless I hope, that they get the recognition that they deserve. Stunning watch, great dial an lume, especially the fact that its made out of recycled steel!
The lumed orange accents, seconds hand and "Automatic" script are striking. I can't say I've ever seen orange lume before. I like it!
I like my chances of winning. I've never won anything, so I figure it's just a matter of increased chances every time I lose. I love Fortis' overall design language. It's a 'personality match'.
F39 is a fantastic watch not only style but that famous Fortis quality. That touch of orange really makes it pop. A great tool watch doesn't have to so plain.
Winning this watch would be almost as exciting as when I first discovered this channel. Good luck everyone!
Fortis is criminally underrated. Glad they're getting the love they deserve!
They certainly will be after this video. I love fliegers, I had a stowa ikarus and really regret selling it...something from fortis may be a suitable replacement in the coming years
Good! let's keep them afforadble
I got into watches thanks to this gentleman and his appreciation for quality.
Thank you, Fortis for such a generous giveaway. I will be thrilled till it’s end! 🙏⌚️
The FORTIS Flieger Chronograph was actually the watch that started my interest in automatic watches. This is beautiful continuation of the Fleiger concept.
Cheers from Sweden!
It's so cool that you have such a good relationship with a watch brand especially one like Fortis who have such a deep and important history!
This is a gorgeous piece “I’m a sucker for blue dials”. Love the way the orange accents really make it pop. I would love having this as the first Swiss piece in my collection.
This a gorgeous piece, how lucky are we to get a shot at winning this
I thoroughly appreciate Fortis and the F-39 is so close to being the perfect watch for me. That being said I would happily wear and regularly put it to the test
Bought my dad a flieger a while back. Don’t have one in my collection yet.
Best of luck everyone.
My first luxury watch was the official cosmonauts chronograph, nearly the same as yours, just with a golden bezel and titanium case. Some weeks before I had bought it, i saw it in one of your videos. Im a big space and aeronautics fan myself, so i really liked the ISS version of the cosmonauts chrono. Since the day i bought my Fortis, ill get more and more into this brand. Now Fortis clearly is my favorite brand. They try to do something different then the other swiss brands, for example with the new Marinemasterˋs. For me the perfect vacation watch. I hope, that Fortis can get the hype that they deserve, but with their new president Jupp whos very competently and friedly it‘s only a matter of time! For me, the F39/41 is a perfect everyday watch with its water resitance and ecofriendlymsteel. It would perfectly fit into my collection. Good luck for everyone and thaks for your awesome videos!
Regards from Germany!
Its a great and generous giveaway and I am so excited to be a part of this. The Urban Gentry channel and TGV’s review shows are so interesting that considering time zone differences from the UK to US I usually watch them all in first 5 hours. With or without giveaway this is the most fun page for watch-enthusiasts. The Urban Gentry does not need advertisement, its simply the best.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
A very underated brand... The build quality... Specification of their watches . History.. Deserves much more recognition imo
I believe Fortis as a brand is underrated.. such a rich history and value.. i’ve never won anything on these kind of giveaways so it would be nice if that changes.. really like this flieger!!
I have a strange adoration for Fortis, and those are some of their finest pieces. Thank you for this giveaway.
"Crisp cocaine white"-don't believe I've ever heard this color description before.
Haha that threw me off too!
Of course his observation is clearly based solely on speculation and by no means rooted in personal experience…of course.
I actually got into automatic watches during lockdown by stumbling onto the Urban Gentry channel last year. Pretty soon I was hooked on researching watches and making my way back through the Gentry archives watching reviews, unboxing and war room videos. My wife would often laugh when she saw me watching "another gentry watch video!?". But I didn't mind - I think the channel is great and I've discovered a lot of watchmakers because of the Gentry channel that I think I otherwise wouldn't have found on my own - the Gentrys love for Fortis being one of those watchmakers. I've never been in to smart watches, or the latest fads or trends - maybe thats why I, and probably most of the gentry viewers love automatic watches - they represent that timeless quality that I think we all appreciate. I think the Fortis F-39 captures that beautifully - to me its a perfect blend of design and functionality and its a watch that will still run well and look great decades from now. Oh and that midnight blue - Fantastic!!
Thanks Urban Gentry for showing up and doing the work of a true gentleman! You keep posting and we'll keep watching! Cheers!!
Always hyped when a new Urban Gentry vid drops, just entered the giveaway, super excited. Keep up the great work TGV, stay classy my friend!
Thank you so much and the best of luck!
Best regards,
TGV
This Fortis would fit in perfectly with my small collection of budget, affordable and entry-level pilot's watches - Citizen Nighthawk, Stowa Ikarus, Sinn 104, Steeldive 1940
Has the winner been announced yet?
The blue ones are awesome. Love the fact that it changes from blue to black depending on the viewing angle
im just about bored with the "classic" flieger style. love or hate the designs, these fortises are at least a new direction for a watch subgenre.
Be warned of scammers telling you that you've won.
Be warned everybody, i think there is an attempt of fishing!! Everybody got a message that they won.
I actually thought i won something for the first time, bummer!
Me too
These are fantastic, even more so with the deep blue dial. And, luckily, it doesn't take away from the toolwatch appearance of these pieces. Way to go!
"Geez, look at how thick it is... but quite supple."
Oh boy that blue is mesmerizing. I feel like sometimes lighter blues come off as cheap or stick out too much. But I think this tone is perfect.
Been wearing my Fortis Spacematic Stealth for almost 4yrs now. It's an amazing watch from an amazing company, which makes it hard not to shell out money for this Flieger. That Midnight Blue dial is killer
Fortis made an exciting pair of watches with the F39 and F41 Fliegers. Modern, utilitarian, robust and - most importantly - quite slick. And TGV makes it look even better by wrapping the watches in history and great images. The F39 is perfect!
I was close to pulling the trigger on the first version with the black dial, but this new blue variant is just irresistible. Good job Fortis!
What an awesome watch! Currently searching for a watch to celebrate the birth of my son. Would be exciting to add this beautiful versatile Fortis to the collection! Good luck everyone!
That blue color of the dial is stunning,and with that red/orange accents this watch really is the premium flieger upgrade.
Beautiful modern flieger watch. Blue dial looks amazing, not too flashy but certainly very classy. I like how you can add a second time zone by rotating the bezel.
I love this channel…. I’ve been a member for over a year and I don’t miss an episode. Fortis is on my list and like any other enthusiast I get distracted with new watches that hit the market. Make no mistake that like with many other purchases I get, the gentry view is a MUST before I invest…. Thank You
Yes, I agree. The watch face would look much better with the date window at 6'O clock
I began adoring wristwatches since I was 15. Amazed by the Swiss craftsmanship in my Omega Genève Dynamic bought nearly 50 years ago (still wearing it today), I would be very much pleased to add a new member to my small collection that will be inherited to my eldest son, whom I proud to say, appreciates and knows how to take good care of these marvelous timekeeping jeweles.
That blue dial is gorgeous, reminds me of the deep blue of the horizon at 30,000 feet. Well done, Fortis!
I’m convinced Fortis can’t make a bad watch, not a single model I wouldn’t wear. So awesome that they’re doing a giveaway! Good luck to all!
The midnight blue and orange accents look fabulous. Been lusting for a Fortis for a while now.
I have not owned a watch for quite some time, but have recently began looking at purchasing one. As I started researching, I came across your channel and I must say I appreciate your reviews and philosophy regarding watches. For me, when you say, "unpretentious design" and "tough, focused timepieces at the highest levels of quality for everyday use" this resonates with me as I feel this embodies what I would want a watch to say about me when I am wearing it. I love the dark blue and I love this watch. This is a forever timepiece to hand down to my son for him to enjoy and hopefully he'll hand down to his.
A unclutterd dail. Deep blue. Easy to read. No add ons. The way a watch should be.
The black/blue dial is mesmerizing. That would indeed be a mighty handsome watch to behold.
I like the zen reimagining of a zen watch design. The flieger has evolved in the best traditions of the Bauhaus and Fortis keep it fresh. Perfectly.
The two toned is a good look! Love the added orange lume around 12 for better orientation/synchronising
This watch is not only a great tool but also beautiful, especially in the dark! Great job Fortis!
I never was that much into flieger watches, but they've definitely been growing on me as of late. A real stunner this one!
I'm not usually excited by fliegers, or blue dials, but that F39 is stunning in that blue.
Such a beautiful color when the lum is down. It's even prettier in the dark. Combine red/orange and blue lum color is the most ingenious idea a watch brand ever had. And Fortis got it. Sobriety, classy and stunning at the same time. It would be fabulous to have a chance to win such a time piece. Thanks TGV. Thanks Fortis.
I became a Fortis fan thanks to TGV. Since then I looked hard for a Pilot Small Seconds but I could not get it. When the new line up was released I never felt happier. Glad for such sponsorship.
Fortis is the only brand I know of that doubles as a hammer on space missions. A watch like that belongs in any collection! Good luck everyone!
I've been lucky enough to own two Fortis watches - the cosmo chrono and the PC-7 aeromaster. As many have said: criminally underrated!!
Been interested in Fortis ever since your first Cosmonaut video and really loving this new generation of watches... only problem I have is I can't decide which one to buy! Fingers crossed on the givaway; that 39mm looks terrific. Keep up the great work, TGV!
The brushed texture on the dial is tremendous. I’m a complete sucker for a textured dial. What a tool-tastic and cool watch. Great giveaway guys, thanks!
What an absolute amazing watch! I find the F-39 especially tempting to me. Great piece of time art in its simplicity. Tool watch. Pilot watch. Watch to do it all. On the ground, in the air, above and beyond...
I love the midnight blue color that the watch reflects off and all the work that has been put into making the watch
Im wearing my 41mm Flieger date right now..Out of all my watches this is my fav..Just love the look of it
Fortis seems to be a company thriving & Fliegers are my favourite watches. This one is just perfect even in colour!!!! 🛸🚀🛰
Such a awesome time piece. I'm very sad Fortis doesn't have any watch retailers in Portugal.. To all the contestants good luck, to the winner contratz! Thank you once again TGV for lighten up your days
Such fantastic looking watches. The 39mm would look amazing on my wrist. I’m new into watch collecting and have just purchased my first watch (BB58) and this Flieger would be an awesome addition to my (hopefully) growing collection.
Very cool watches. Wish we had a local dealer would love to see these in person. Great thing Fortis is doing, giving away a watch. Fingers crossed!
Great watch for the money, and there's nothing wrong with Sellita movements, they're robust, easily servicable & can be very accurate. Good choice for the watch.
The new Fortis F-39 - F-41 would make an excellent addition to any collection.
Thanks TGV for the chance to win one.
I love the elegance of a simple thing done well, and this watch is a perfect example of that. It's not pretentious or needlessly complex, just an exceptional execution of a tool watch. I'm sure the lucky winner will count themselves fortunate to have such a piece of design and engineering on their wrist.
Very nice! I would also likely prefer narrower lugs and a tapered strap, but there's a certain charm to the beefy look.
These Fortis watches are amazing. The attention to detail is fantastic. And I love their connection to history. They are built to be used, not just admired. All I can say is "Yes, please!"
I was saving for the previous F - 39 Grey dial version, but man, the blue dial is just stunning, a game changer!
After 18 months I finally got my old job back as a steward/flight attendant. This watch would be a perfect tool and travel companion, especially with the GMT function.
I love the clarity of the markers on the dials of those watches. I also love the two different color lumes, the blue-ish white and the orange/red. Those are gorgeous watches. Either watch looks like it could satisfy the requirements of upscale or casual dress events. Rock-solid movements too. Any qualified watch repair facility should be able to process a "tune-up" or a repair easily.
I discovered the fortis brand literally through the Urban Gentry channel & immediately fell in love with the cosmonaut ,instantly became my grail watch easily overtaking my previous grail watch.
I’ve been following the fortis brand ever since & definitely hoping I get to add a fortis to my collection.
Good luck to all! I would love to own a Fortis, their pedigree is legendary (although underrated by many) and their craftsmanship looks unbelievable.
Absolutely stunning. The new “midnight” blue dial is just beautiful. I like that they went back for the screw down crown although I’ve never had any issues with push and pull crown on my B-42 Official Cosmonauts. My grandpa gifted my grandma a Fortis Sublime from Libya in the 70s, and I inherited the watch. Still works perfect. Got my first Fortis watch when I was 17 years old and have bought plenty of them now, one of my favourite is the Cosmonauts with the Lemania 5100. I wear Fortis on daily basis and it’s simply my favourite watch brand because of their prestigious history and linking with Roscosmos.
Keep up with your reviews, I really enjoy them and see them often.
Greetings!
I have always been a huge fan of blue dials! But this one is mesmerizing…What a very good-looking tool.
The orange and deep blue color contrast is amazing. Thanks again TGV for another great vid and Fortis for this sweet giveaway.
What stunning watches. The Blue face, crisp white markers with orange accents are amazing!
These fliegers just go to show how underrated Fortis is as a watchmaker. Truly fantastic modern take on a classic type of watch. Appreciate the giveaway TGV, and good luck to all!
The midnight blue looks great!! Especially how it works with the orange highlights. Would be pretty amazing to own this one!!
Great modern Flieger, with a choice in size, great specs that make this a perfect everyday watch. And I think the data at 3 is quite nice.
Never heard of the Fortis berofe. I have to admit that Fortis Flieger F-39 amazed me with its combination of robust design and elegance at once.
What a beautiful watch. Congrats in advance to the lucky winner of the giveaway…!!! you will get one amazing watch from a brand that deserves tons of respect.
One of the nicer watvh coming out from Fortis this year. Especially the 41.
I'm following you since a long time and I've always been a huge fan of Fortis. more than 10 years ago my Dad gave me his first watch that he bought with his first savings and it's a Fortis Pilot Classic with green luminol... I love that watch and I'm still wearing it!
Wow, what a journey TGV! From reviewing a brand so close to your heart to giving them away to subscribers, what an achievement! Cracking job Sir
Perfect watch and great review. I always like your enthusiasm for watches. From every word you say I can feel your love for the small ticking instruments! 👍
Love the size and colour! So nice that 39mm is back...
Fortis come out with some interesting watches. I like what they done to this model. I prefer the F 41 but I think the F39 looks good as well.
TGV, I’ve been following your channel for probably a year now as I got into watches during the pandemic; winning the Fortis Flieger would certainly be an amazing step on my watch collecting journey! Cheers!
I’ve been meaning to ad a fortis to my collection for ages. But we’re I live I haven’t had the opportunity to se one in the flesh.
Love the way the seconds hand goes with the blue dial. Very nice watch
Such a gorgeous timepiece. Nothing wrong with Sellita or Eta. Not sure if I like blue or black better. Props to Fortis for redesigning the classic flieger. Very unique, just like Oris Propilot and Stowa Flieger Verus.
Fortis is so underrated watch brand, recently they receiving a bit more attention they deserve. Very nice opportunity to win a beautiful watch, I'm so thrilled. 👍👍👍
Such a strong modern flieger look. The blue is striking. Its an impressive piece of design. Would be really great to win this watch. Good luck all.
I've been eyeing up Fortis for some time now having been introduced to the brand by TGV. For a brand renowned for such quality and with amazing heritage its amazing how under the radar they are
I was actually looking to buy a Fortis recently! Would absolutely love to win this, thanks TGV!
