Just couldn't resist..




So umm.. Who here owns (one of) the other 49? :D

[Eeeb]

Tell us about it... then the other 49 will show up to join in

could be a cal. 302?

Well, it's a complete shot in the dark.

I just bought it online from a guy in Italy who usually doesn't sell watches, so he didn't provide any details about the movement.
It seems like Ferrari did a few of these series in the 50's and 60's, which were given to business relations, racecar drivers and important employees. Looks like this watch was never worn, which makes the probability of being a gift more plausible. I hope I can find out who's watch this was.

I don't think it's a cal. 302, because that should have sub seconds. Hoping for a nice automatic, the back has a little extra room. Could be a cal. 340/342?

Yes, you're right..., if it is automatic, could be a 340
very nice watch

[jackrobinson]

nice looking watch, and I believe good quality too

[pej]

It came in the mail today! It looks stunning, will post some more pics soon.

It's a cal. 280, too bad it's not a 340 but nevertheless a nice movement.
The serial number puts it to 1966.
