I don't really have anything to add right now, but I'd consider it. Hmm, wonder if we could get a "Stooge" logo somewhere...
Those are too plain - looks like the clock in my old grade school - I vote for No Doubt's design - now that's up to date!
I'm in as well. Finally I can combine watch collecting and my car! Gotta love this forum. Can we make each model (348, 328, etc) a limited edition with a number count on the back (23 of 50 for instance)? That would be really cool. Personally I prefer a more subtle design, rather than loads of colour, but the majority rules in the end.
Just a couple of ideas. Looking like the speedo would be something like http://www.caliberswiss.com/catalog/BR0192RED%20(4).JPG with just 3 4 8 which is the same idea as http://images.quebarato.com.br/photos/big/E/1/2CA9E1_1.jpg and have the Cavallino on the bottom of the dial http://www.southertrading.com/ferrari/images/speedo_ferrari_348_for_sale.jpg Sporty, classy and understated.
No cavallinos allowed, but the first watch you posted is similar to what Chris is talking about, but with hands that match the speedometer style on the 348. I like it! BT
Chris, I'll take a 355 customised Laco! I'm sure there is a small market for such a thing. What size will the production run have to be to make it worth while?
My 2 cents again lol the watch should look exactly like the speedo. The hours should be orange but only emphasize the 3 hr 4 hr and 8hr the seconds should be yellow the hands white the date should look like the odometer, lastly the Ferrari badge. Of course this would require a total watch design and probably bump the price to something astronomical but you wanted input Image Unavailable, Please Login
I own a 348GTB and a 360 F1 Modena, I love my 348 and am most comfortable driving it around town as it garners much less attention, yet is amazingly fun to drive. I also love watches, and have collected a great number of them of particular importance to me are watches that hold a connection to a car. I am a Porschefile, and own 4 of them, and must have at least six or eight watches in my collection which correspond to my different models, and of course to the venerable 917. I've done this with all of my cars, and will continue to do so. I absolutely would LOVE to have a watch that celebrates my 348. I find it confounding that there are those on this site who have quite uncomplementary things to say about the 348, I am absolutely not one of them. I think it is a brilliant car. There are much better, but the 348 is a wonderful segway to them. I think Ferraris are like sex: there really isn't a bad one, just some better than others.
I also do not understand the bashing that the 348 gets. While some say, "They need too much work", I am thinking, don't all Ferraris? I am having a blast(see earlier thread) with my 348. There is always going to be another car with more HP. So why let that ruin a perfectly fun car? When someone says, "The 355 has more HP so it is better", I am thinking, "Well, an Enzo has more HP than a 355 so does that make the 355 crap?". Not at all. If you have any Ferrari, be glad you have it and enjoy it. There is no reason to tell someone else that their Ferrari is crap. I will now get down off of my soap box and join the group that would be interested in a 348 watch. I really like Night Life's concept although I know we cannot have the prancing horse due to license issues. Too bad. That would have been the icing on the cake.
I am sure anything is possible for the right price. An individual customized watch would probably be fairly costly imo.
I am working on a one off of a Laco. The dial is being designed now. The strap is on the way (trying to match my interior in color and design, I have it pretty close) Then I will send the dial to company with my file design and poof! A one off! I will post it once I get a solid design in order. should be pretty cool, wont be too expensive either
Can we get a Serie Speciale model? It would have less cheese grating, CF face plate and a freer exhaust note. Oh yeah, I'd like my straps to be black leather with crema inserts.
This company claims that it can do something along the lines of this picture for about $100 per watch: http://www.logotimeusa.com/tiex.html Image Unavailable, Please Login
Here's a different company that can place a small "348" logo onto this watch for about $210 each: http://www.promopeddler.com/04-98/watch-italian-leather-strap-precision-japanese-qqp225328.htm Image Unavailable, Please Login
