    Mine is some thing from Turkey a friend brought back years before I owned a Ferrari. It says Ferrari on it (and the prancing horse looks drunk as it is facing the wrong way) but I doubt Enzo has any knowledge of it.

    Also had a belt from Malaysia. The prancing horse faces the right way on this :D

    What you guys spend on watches I spend on my daily drive :D :D :D

    Don't wear a watch in the F-car and never bothered to set the clock.

    Watches are work, meetings, schedules etc.

    Drive the Ferrari to escape form all that......

    Good Luck

    Julian.

    Don't have a 360 yet so can't comment on that, but have a black 456 (and several other black cars), so I wear this [see pic] when I drive it, mainly because I wear it all the time, and my wife (who used to have a black range rover but ruined it by buying a newer green one) has a lady datejust with black face and special bezel to match. I just wanted a watch that I wouldn't have to take off for fifty years and can handle 40m underwater, paragliding, trackdays, building site, casino, my children, beer, curry sauce, etc. :) :)

    I like (but can't afford) Patek Phillipe & Cartier, although not sure they're robust enough for the abuse I deliver, Brietlings are great in the dash of a Bentley but I'd rather have a Daytona if going for wrist chronometer, IWC also well out of my budget.... Not a fan of the GP Ferrari collection as they do seem to be a high price to pay for the F shield on an otherwise underwhelming watch, or Tag (the Porsche of watches). Diamonds are for girls and should never appear on the outside of a watch. Fewer than 15 jewels on the inside is equally unacceptable, presumably....

    I bought a Cartier for 4100 quid, rang my missus up and she answered with the hiccups and, not knowing I had bought the watch, said 'say something that will scare me and get rid of these hiccups'. I told her 'Ive just spent 4 grand on a watch'. She burst into tears.......I had to take the watch back :(

    Cured her hiccups though

    It has to be the tag monaco, steve mcqueen wore it, so enough said!

    I can only dream, for now i have to settle for my fossil!

    Woza.

    I dread to think how much some of your collections cost, including those with breitlings. I have last months evo mag and the newest one costs £90,000! Id rather get a ferrari!

    Me too - I destroyed a Girrard Perregaux in a month at the tender age of 18 - yet apart from 2 faces in 20 years, my plastic faced 37 year old Oyster has stood up well and my sapphire faced Subby is literally indestructible

    Brilliant!

    Bought my Cartier at the same time as the f-car, neither has let me down so far.

    I have a custom fridge/air con system. Comes in handy on hot days.

    By the way, the light DOES go out when the door closes.
