    I bought this clock hoping that i could change the guts from it in to mine (which has a broken main spring!) but to no avail, it's just too different from the Dino clock.
    I suspect that it's older than mine as it doesnt say the word 'Electronico' on the face and also is of better construction with a brass case instead of the OEM plastic one.
    Does anyone know what model (maybe earlier series Dino, mine is a 74 car) of Ferrari this may have come from?
    Then when i know i can post it for sale as i am sure somebody out there needs one and i will continue my quest for the correct one!
    Kindest Regards, G P.

    If the can size is the same, then what I do is use the new casing and internal movement and place the face, hands, bezel and chrome securing ring on this working assembly.

    PS - The only issue that I've found is that some of the older faces had the two mounting screws positioned further inwards.

    Scott,
    Problem is the bezel is different and the worst thing is that the adjustment knob on the older clock is very different in as much that it is fitted on the shaft with a tiny screw.
    The original clock adjustment i believe is push fitted on.
    The face fitting is the same albeit the numerals are different in size as you can see.
