Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari watches on Groupon

[Erik Nielsen (judge4re]

Wasn't that impressed with the designs or quality of these, but then
again, I have a Girard Perregaux Ferrari watch.  Current rotation is
that or a vintage Rolex datejust and a Vostok Russian submariner that
I wear when I go to the rougher parts of the world. Only watch that I
still wouldn't mind getting is a Patek world time...
