    Cool! ...the site clearly states free shipping. I also noticed they charged me for shipping, but then gave me a discount for the shipping amount (on previous orders).

    BTW; I have this watch, its fabulous!

    I just tried to buy from FL

    This morning I got a new sale announcement and a new code from Ferrari. At first thought damn, why didn't I wait and get the SS GT auto but on thinking I've enough all-SS watches and am happy I went ahead with the black version.

    The free shipping is without the code/ with code you get a shipping discount... you can't have both... :(

    I probably wouldn't typically be interested in their top of the line Granturismo Automatic Watch, but with the discount I'm thinking of ordering one. Any feedback on this? What makes it their most expensive watch? Does it have a better movement? Thanks.

    It's their most expensive because it has an automatic ETA movement. All the others use a Ronda quartz movement. None of their watches use Saphire crystal though :(

    I am on this fence as well for the Silver automatic that was just added (re-added), or maybe I have just been blind.

    Ferrari Granturismo Automatic Watch
    code 270033692

    Its $325 (with code) down from retail $1200.

    Had I not ordered 7 or so ferrari watches and 10+ (all brands) over the last 60 days, not counting 2x xmas watches, I might just jump. I have not even worn them all...

    My question is: Does anyone own this one and if so, how nice is it? Any real difference between the automatic and quartz movements? I have the SS Chrono stainless already, which is very similar.

    I'm also on the fence with this one. Nice looking and swiss automatic for that price, kind of attracting.

    You have to be the leading watch maniac here.

    I have the quartz SS Scud quartz chrono and the black GT auto coming...we'll see.

    For me an auto is a "real watch", quartz an always ready to wear daily beater.

    The GT automatic is just a nice clean design, no chrono, just a simple watch. Nice carbon fiber detail on center and red hands. The steel band is smooth and nicely done.
    The leather band model is also simple, just smooth black leather.

    What I did was switch bands with the GT quartz that have more textured leather and red stitching to match the red hands of the watch.

    It is a ETA 2824 Swiss Made movement... Good but not amazing.

    It is a great DEAL... when using the coupon.

    Totally different design. Maybe you can get the leather GT automatic... even more different.

    You can't compare mechanical watches and quartz... There is a beauty on how the mechanical works, automatic or manual movement.

    The quartz is just a way to find out what time is... I have quartz watches, just for the design, but I will always pick the automatic if I have a choice.
    Today a watch is just an statement and an accessory... now with cell phone we no longer needed as a daily tool. It is just cool.
    And the automatic is the coolest.

    **NEWS**

    The USA Ferrari store has just opened, and can be found at the usual site: store.ferrari.com

    The main difference is that the orders will be fulfilled from a domestic USA location.

    Noted differences:
    1. Domestic fulfillment
    2. Less inventory (at least right now, I imagine they will add domestic SKUs)
    3. Will always be free shipping, or so they say
    4. Wont have to worry about customs issues and extra charges and delays.
    5. Faster shipping

    *For the moment the last 48 hr sale code is still working!
    **They have the SS Chrono in stock (really this time)

    Just saw this too. They brought back the jumbo Ferrari watch it seems. Which code was the 48 hour sale if you don't mind sharing?

    Success at last! I've had nothing but trouble trying to buy a watch from these guys. Apparently my 'old' browser doesn't work with their site, nor did my iPad, then AmEx shut down the overseas charge. I'd basically given up.

    I tried again today and wound up buying a watch I hadn't seen before. I'd planned on the steel chrono on the bracelet, wound up with this one instead. I like the day/date function that it includes with the chrono.

    I did NOT get free shipping, when I read the FAQ I saw the fine print that you can't get free shipping combined with another offer. :rolleyes:

    $530 to a random visitor to the site. $424 once I logged in. $135 delivered to my door. I hope. I used the code in post #216, PM50H9G1NPAYW3HDTC2GNZYXDW.

    Who the hell knows, but I think so. Owners 20% discount. Set up an account of your own and see what happens.

    Good news: I got my GT auto day before yesterday and it's much better looking than I thought it would be; very solidly made excepting mickey mouse plastic band clasp - at the discount price excusable.

    Bad news: It doesn't work.

    I set date the and time and put it on. An hour later the hands and sweep hand hadn't budged. I then put it on the watch winder for 24 hours and still nothing happens.

    Guess I'm going to have to return it. Anyone else had to return a watch to Ferrari recently and anything I need to know?

    Advice much appreciated!

    I have one but got nothing off :(
    I just wasn't sure since the site can be a bit screwy.

    Thanks

    Just received my Scuderia Ferrari Gun Chono [from Italy] and here is my review.

    This is a great watch with a few oversights. The case, dial, buttons, and leather strap are all very nice. The quartz chrono works as it should and all mechanicals work. The AR coating is ok.

    Here are the oversights that could have made this even better:
    -Sapphire crystal instead of mineral
    -The deployant clasp feels pretty cheap
    -The dial is a bit thick so the date wheel appears sunken even though it's not
    -Designed to look like the crown and pushers are screw down when they aren't
    -Hand design seems a bit too "fancy" for a sports watch

    Overall I'm very pleased with this watch considering it only cost me $160 :)

    FYI... these are made by Sordi Watches (Italy), same company that makes Momo Design watches. It says so in the owner's manual.

    I just received my Gun Chrono this afternoon and agree on all the above points. It is very handsome, but I would be disappointed if I had paid full price for it. At $160, it's a respectable watch and the Scuderia shield sets off nicely against the carbon fibre dial.

    I got several invoices from FEDEX... They... the customs... charge me the FULL price... without any discount.... Example: One invoice was $472 with discounts... they charge me as if it was $1,413... = $$73.56 + fees = $89.06 to be paid.
    I called FEDEX they asked me to send papers...etc and they would send to Customs for REVIEW... I don't think so. I will just pay. But I still three more Invoices charging the same way.
    NOW Ferrari have the USA STORE. That will take care of the customs problem..
