    Hey guys--just popped over from the F355 side of things for quick question.

    I just bought a watch (GP-F50). the back is engraved with what appears to be a Ferrrai VIN--at least it starts off like my 355.
    Can anyone tell me if it is and if it is one for an F50?

    Thanks for any information y'all might have

    Yes it is a VIN for a actual F50. Don't know anything about watches though.

    That vin didn't sound familiar, as they started with 103***ending at 107*** , but when I check 102813 I found this old article which has been discussed quite a bit on here in relation to the 999999 car/cars. Written by Sheehan, article can be seen here .
    http://www.ferraris-online.com/pages/article.php?reqart=SCM_200705_SS

    ******Adding yet another dimension to the madness, there were also a total of seven pre-production or prototype F50s built, those being 95592, 98170, 99999 x 4, 100825, 101919, 102474, 102813 and 102816. The punch line to all this was that none of the various iterations of s/n 99999 was for sale, and the client was being offered what is referred to in the trade as a “ghost car.”**********

    For those that know the article here is the quote which mentions the vin, I'm surprised that the watch and shoes package was offered with these cars too, this maybe a way the truth will oust, regarding the 3 or 4 999999 cars which are out there if we locate the watches.

    Anybody know where the 999999 watches are. ?

    Chad, do you recall the VIN of your father's F50? I might know its current whereabouts.
