    Yea, we are pretty screwed over here! That said, I will probably order one anyway! LOL! I didn't notice the size of the watch in the listing, but it is called "Jumbo", does that mean it is bigger than the last Pit Crew watch???

    Titanium button and crown. Doesn't give a size. My black pit crew is 40mm. It also loses 5 min. a day.

    Killing us. For sure. I paid $300 USD for this at the Wynn. $448.0 plus shipping and VAT for a titanium crown and button? I need German and Italian MC parts. Oh boy.

    Mines still spot on. Better than my Heuer!
    BTW I wasn't charged duty on it but my next order came with an additional as of yet, unexplained fee from UPS

    I have lots of watches - Rolex, IWC, Omega, etc. - and I wear my Pit Crew every day, I don't know why. It seems to keep time accurately. If I wanted real accuracy I would buy a Timex digital watch.

    That case diameter spec. was not there when I ordered the watch the other day because I could not find the diameter, and now it is listed first thing.

    Pretty nice looking. Nothing about it being limited edition. Kinda surprised, since it's the first of that style and has the red face, like the other pit crew watch.

    I just received mine yesterday from Europe via UPS. Only took about four days from the time I placed the order.

    The watch does have a bigger face than the previous Pit Crew watches. It's 45mm across, but that seems to be the styling trend in men's watches these days.

    I'll probably just wear it mainly to Ferrari events. It's pretty flashy for everyday use.

    The packaging it came in is way over the top. A big hunk of HEAVY rubber tread is the "box"
    it comes in and the box cover is a fabric "tire warmer" that attaches to the base with velcro.

    I was in the Ferrari store in the Rome airport this morning. They had three of the new watches on display; red, yellow and black. I've only seen the red one offered so far on the website.

    I really liked the black one. It was €350 in the store. I held it next to my original model and yes it is bigger, but didn't have the "big watch" look that many have these days. Not that that's a bad thing. Just not convinced it's worth that much money, at least to me.

    Does anybody know who is the watchmaker of Ferrari Watchs? Maker says enough to consider if this is a real watch or it is just a pretty ornament.

    I put a battery in it and it's working fine. I like it for $300.
