    I just popped something up on the watch thread - but perhaps this was the place.

    Interested in learning more about this- thanks

    Haven't seen this one before... looks pretty homemade and od course it is not an officially licensed product.

    I have another one which mimics the 308 clock... nothing special, but somehow funny.

    I guess I'm missing something. What here looks like a Ferrari 308 watch

    The font and hands are the same as found on the various gauges in a 308.

    Motochron still has a website somewhere..

    I think they made a watch that had Porsche 911 fonts as well..

    That pic reminds me of an ad in Playboy back in the late 70's.

    I hadn't thought about it since then until I saw that.

    You can still buy the watch - its about $200 US from Motochron in Germany. I have the 308 watch, I wear it once in a while, its pretty cool and very un obtrusive.

    They had produced a 328 Watch also; one was for GTB, one for GTS.
    If my memory, etc...the dial looked like the 328 speedo style.
    I stupidely missed the only one I ever saw, on E-Bay Germany years ago.

    there are a bunch of these touted as vintage ferrari watches on Ebay. They are just new faces on old watches. They look old - that's about it. Not real.

    Great choice, Claude. I still love mine. Here after a fresh factory restoration. Unfortunately it was like new afterwards and I only rarely wear it since that restore in 2012 to keep in this condition. Before, I even wore it in my workshop.

    Just restored:

    Thanks for the feedback, I was curious but now I don't really feel I missed something out of that auction
