Does anyone own this watch? Or have you heard anything good or bad about Ferrari watches? I am very interested in purchasing this one and the price seems very fair.

I thought about getting that Ferrari watch for my son for Christmas. I went with the Tag F1 shown here instead. No Ferrari affiliation but a much better watch for the money IMHO.

The Ferrari watch is a pretty simple quartz watch with a kind of cheap looking leather band (although I do like the red deviated stitch). The Tag is a proven Swiss maker that has sold more watches than any other watch company other than Citizen and Rolex.

Obviously, the Panerai Ferrari watches are the best but cost a whole lot more. They can be found here.

Stryke is the guy on the forum to approach about watches.

 

Thank you, that helped out a lot. At this point though the Tag may be just a bit of a stretch financially but it is definately a great alternative and one that I will consider. By the way, how does your son like the watch?

 

He loves it. We had him fooled into thinking he wasn't going to get it. He was very pleased.

His birthday is January 6th so we combine Christmas and his b-day.

He's a pretty spoild kid though . . .

He is Oversteer on the forum.

 

Yes, I would say he is very lucky to get that watch. Even though it may be a bit of a stretch for me now, I think I will be able to afford it soon. Also, if Stryke reads this if he has some advice on maybe another watch or anything to say about either the Tag or the Ferrari watch it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

If you put your mind to it brother, you can have anything you want.

Good luck to you.
