    Ferrari makes a couple carbon themed watches that look good IMO. They are ~$600. There might be one cheaper though

    I had a no-brand ebay carbon face/SS chrono with ferrari shield that cost $80 and lasted for several years.

    If in the market for similar now, I'd be looking at the brand name Ferrari watches. Reasonable at the price and the real thing.

    Nice.

    Your post just reminded me :)o) that my daily wearer has a carbon face and is also on the lower end thanks to closeout deals, http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Watches/Jacques-Lemans-F1-Mens-Carbon-Fiber-Watch/2538314/product.html. I believe MSRP was in the $400 range.

    Full disclosure, folks in the Silver subscribed forum might recall that my watch is half-dead, http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=357920, but I think that is more about how I have the "dropsies" than the quality of the watch. :eek:

    There are several other styles with the carbon face as well, just search for "jacques lemans carbon".

    Thanks everyone again for your replies! I really appreciate all your help.

    I know Invicta watches are not among the most expensive or collectible, but I really love the look of their Carbon Pro Diver. http://www.invictawatch.com/support_files/reviews/review10.html

    I can't find one like this though. Are there other CF watches similar to this one?

    Thanks!

    Nice watch indeed.

    I did a quick check on Amazon and found the same model, also a Mondia automatic chrono, all SS/SS bracelet, great looking and $1350.00. No reviews, though.

    Do you carry the auto? My credit card is beginning to vibrate.

    We don't stock the Automatic Chronograph. I can add it to my next order from Italy.
    Mondia's are very well made. We have been selling them for around 4 years. No issues

    Thanks, Chris.

    I thought about it and decided I don't want a chronograph...have no use for it.

    Do like trad watches with little dials though, would like one that shows day of week and 24 hour time, perhaps.

    I don't use the chrono except at the race track but love the complexity of the look. Date is valuable to have -if I could read it! Since digital went bye bye I haven't known what day of the month it is.
