Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ti bracelet for GP watch

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Eric: My REAL watch is a Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute. My around the house 
beater is a ETA Pilot in brushed SS that I bought at a gunshow in Tucson years 
ago for $225. They're going for $600+ (used) on eBay now. 25 jewels with a 
see-through back. I just bought the Panerai for a yuk, because Steve S had one, 
and was raving about it on the List. I priced one from a jeweler in Beverly 
Hills, and they wanted $11,400 for it, so . . . now I have one too. <g>

I got the watch bug from my uncle Wilber, who spent most of his adult life in 
either San Quentin or Folsom prisons. He had a gold Rolex President on his 
wrist when he keeled over and died of a heart attack, but somehow it got 'lost' 
during the ambulance ride to the ER. Go figure.

Uncle Wilber was fond of high-maintenance red-heads, which rubbed off in my 
younger days too. <g>

Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

I'm just after a rubber strap for my 275 Le Mans GP that my wife
ought for our anniversary years ago. Just tired of buying crocidile
traps for it. It is like putting cheap tires on the Modial, might as
ell spend the money and get the better stuff. Don't need the Ti
trap, my "metal" watch is my Rolex beater...

 So, Eric: $2K for the strap only? My friends in Shanghai had the whole
 F350GT watch in brushed SS for only $109 usd (Shipping extra.)0D
 But I opted for the Panerai Scuderia Ferrari Rattrapante Chrono. Black face
 with the black leather band, white stitching. Both with automatic movements
 and sweep second hands.

 It appears that Ferrari has more clout with the Chinese government than,
 say, Breitling, Rolex, G-P, IWC, and all the rest of the high-roller time
 pieces, as the Ferrari models were mysteriously dropped several months ago.

 On the same subject, does anyone have a rubber strap for a GP that
 hey would be willing to sell?

  List member watch lovers,



  A good friend of mine had one of the "ears" break off the Ti case for his
  Girard-Perregaux F360GT team watch.  G-P no longer stocks the Ti cases, so
  they replaced it with a brushed SS case - looks about the same and is much
  more durable (I'm told).



  Consequently, he has a Ti bracelet (20mm) that he'd like to sell.  This is
 a
  genuine Girard-Perregaux bracelet which retails for $3K, but he's asking
 $2K
  (pretty sure that's negotiable...).  Very light wear, no major marks or
  dings.  Still (back?) in its original box.



  Would appreciate spreading the word if you know of anyone interested.



  Thanks very much,



  gp
